"And over there is the stadium," Matatagi exclaimed, pointing his his finger over at a disorderly line of uneven planks enclosing the field for soccer. That was the last destination he had to show you for his little version of a tour of Kaiou Academy. You nodded your head, envisioning and taking in where it was before turning back to Matatagi.

"Thank you for showing me around. You should get to your practice now," you beckoned him over to the field located directly beside the stadium, a reassuring smile to tell him you'd be okay on your own. Even if you were still a little hesitant to depart from him, but you shouldn't spoil yourself in having a guide.

Matatagi put on an act of feigned worry, "Are you sure? You might get lost—" In reality, he wouldn't care if you got lost and wandered around the expansive grounds of Kaiou Academy for hours. The thought even humored him discreetly for a moment.

Your petulant pout and huff brought him back to the realization he probably shouldn't have of said that, "Who do you take me for? I won't forget it that easily! Oh, but I have one question before you go," your chiding softened down into one of concern. "Will I see you again?"

The question itself was shyly asked, and Matatagi wondered why would you even ask such a thing. You hardly knew the first thing about him, his talents, good and bad points, heck, you probably didn't know what grade he was even in. He shouldn't be anything special in your eyes. Yet, his hand came to scratch behind his head and he chuckled.

"If you want. We go to the same school after all." You idiot.

A cordial smile spread itself on your lips, eyes reflecting that warmth spreading throughout your chest. "I'm glad!" Matatagi was the very first person, asides from his younger brothers, who you had met since you moved here; it only seemed natural in your eyes that you'd want to stick by them and get to know them more.

"Well, I'm going then. See you later," Matatagi proclaimed before giving you a light wave and sprinting off, only giving you a quick glance as he reached the track to catch you walking off with a small spring in your step. He shook his head, directing his attention over to the captain greeting him.

"Who was that? Don't think I've seen 'er around before," the other started. "You two seem close."

"She's just a new transfer student, and we're really not." Stop assuming things. "Let me get changed, and I'll join practice soon!"
