The Quiet Kind of Forever
Accidental Confessions and Other Disasters
School Hallway – Between Classes
Ren’s carrying a stack of books for Ms. Hoshino. He rounds the corner—and bumps straight into Aoi. Papers go flying.
Aoi Fujimura
*Laughing* You again? Do you only walk into emotionally fragile boys, or am I special?
Ren Takahashi
*Deadpan* You’re just clumsy.
Aoi Fujimura
*Smiling* Good. I was hoping you'd say that. Means you're looking.
[They kneel to pick up the books. Their hands brush. Ren flinches. Aoi doesn’t.]
Aoi Fujimura
You ever gonna let anyone in, Ren?
Ren Takahashi
*Quiet* Not if I can help it.
Aoi Fujimura
Too bad. I’m very good at ignoring doors that are shut.
[Yuta’s searching for paint. He opens Naoya’s sketchbook by accident. Freezes.]
[Page after page—sketches of him laughing, drawing, leaning on his arm. All labeled quietly: “Y.”]
Naoya sakamoto
*From behind* Don’t look at those.
Yuta Hayasaka
You draw me?
Naoya sakamoto
*Flustered* You were just—there. It wasn’t on purpose.
Yuta Hayasaka
*Softly* You’ve been drawing me for months.
Yuta Hayasaka
I think that’s the most romantic thing anyone’s ever done for me.
[Shun is leaning casually against Kaito’s locker.]
Shun Nakamura
wanna hand out after school?
Shun Nakamura
*Smirking* Cool. Meet me at the café at 5.
Kaito Minami
...You're so annoying.
Shun Nakamura
And hot. Don’t forget hot.
[Ren’s up there, watching the sky. Aoi appears with two vending machine drinks. Sits beside him.]
Aoi Fujimura
You always come here alone?
Ren Takahashi
Used to. Not anymore.
Aoi Fujimura
That sounds dangerously close to a confession.
Ren Takahashi
*Looking away* ...Maybe it was.
[Aoi looks at him for a long moment. Doesn’t tease.]
Aoi Fujimura
*Softly* Ren?
Aoi Fujimura
Don't forget me.
Ren Takahashi
...why would I?
[Pause. Aoi doesn’t answer. Just smiles. But his fingers tighten around the drink can.]
[Shun’s sitting with his feet up, smirking like he won a prize. Kaito is beside him, scowling.]
Kaito Minami
You got detention for flirting with me. In front of a teacher.
Shun Nakamura
I said you looked hot when you were mad. That’s a compliment.
Shun Nakamura
You idiot now?
And just like that, the quiet starts to crack. Like a laugh slipping through sadness. Like a confession no one meant to say—but couldn’t take back.
