"It's unusual for you to be anxious, Camus," Ai commented; leaning back in the Quartet Night car. "You've been tapping your fingers since we got in."
Had I been? I hadn't been paying attention to what I was doing. All I could think about was the excitement of this day. Having to work only added to nervousness.
"I can not help myself," I replied with a sigh; watching the scenery out the window. "This day took too long to arrive."
"Give him a break, Ai-Ai," Reiji chimed in; practically beaming. "We're all very excited."
"Wow. Reiji has a point," Ranmaru commented; slouching in his seat. "Shocking."
"Mean!"
Reiji crossed his arms and pouted as he pressed back against his seat. Only it wasn't for long. We're pulling up to the dorms of Shining Academy/Agency. It took a lot for me not to jump out of the car and run inside.
Surprisingly, it was Ai who grabbed my arm.
"Are you ready for this, Camus?"
"Let's go."
The other two grabbed my other arm as we walked into the dorms of the master course. Only I was not heading into my room but to the main living area.
A familiar woman sat in one of the chairs; looking up as she heard us walking up. But that was not where my focus was.
A little girl with long blonde hair came running towards us. Well, me.
"Daddy!"
I picked her up and held her close to my chest. Finally, I could carry my daughter in my arms.
