*Chapter 4: Yu's Mother*
It had been a month since Yu got punched in the face. His black eye had healed up nicely and Chie's mom reduced her punishment to only a couple of weeks since her father lost control, even making him go over and apologize for his actions. The group had grown closer together, in both friendship and romance. Yukiko and Yosuke were getting along great, almost ready to reveal themselves as a couple to the public. The same could pretty much be said for Naoto and Kanji, but most people had their suspicions about the two. The most obvious however was Teddie and Rise. Teddie had somehow conned his way into school with them, claiming to be a transfer student from "Abearica" as he put it. Most people recognized Teddie from around town, but never could figure out until now where exactl he came from. The two were an item and everyone at school and even the town was extremely jealous of Teddie.
It was the weekend of the school camping trip, and everyone was both excited for time off, but pissed they had to pick up garbage all day. The group had met at the meeting spot, all eight of them in the same group thanks to Teddie's ability to "change" school records, unbeknownst to the group at the time.
"Did you guys pack your swimsuits?" Yosuke asked the girls, "Because I didn't bring you any like last time."
"I did," Chie said, "But this time we bought you four swimsuits from Junes."
"What?" Yu asked as Chie reached into her bag, pulling out four small pink Speedos.
"Oh hell no," Yosuke said, "If you think I'm going to be caught dead in those, think again."
"Come on," Yukiko said, "It's not like you have anything to hide from us."
"Not from you," Yosuke said, "But I'm not showing off this body to everyone at school, that's just weird, at least not in those."
"Oh, so it's not weird to have us wear bikinis every time, it's not weird to have us enter a swimsuit contest, and it's not weird for us to be exposed all the time for everyone to see, but it is for you," Chie said, "So hypocritical."
"I'll wear it," Yu said grabbing it, "I think Yosuke and Kanji are just afraid of how much they wanna see me naked again." They all laughed.
"For the last time, I ain't like that!" Kanji said, "It's getting really old!" The bus showed up, and the class began to load onto it, heading off to the countryside to pick up trash.
*Later that day*
"Who the hell decided to just abandon a car in the middle of ditch?" Yosuke groaned. All four guys were sitting at the picnic table, the four girls over by their grill station.
"I'm so nervous," Yu said, "I have no clue if what they're making is going to be edible or horrible."
"I'm sure it'll be beary good, the omelets were delicious," Teddie said as the four girls began to plate all their food. They walked over placing the plates in front of them. On the plate, was a beautiful assortment of fish and some rice and vegetables, the smell and sight was delightful to the senses.
"Oh man," Yosuke said as he took the first bite, "This is…delicious!" The four guys all began to dig in, "It's another miracle."
"I knew you guys could do it," Yu said as they all began to eat.
"Thanks," Chie said, "How is your eye doing?"
"Its fine," Yu said, "It's been healed for a couple weeks now."
"I can't believe Chie's dad beat you up," Rise exclaimed, "What did it feel like?"
"Painful," Yu said.
"Yeah man, how does he look?" Kanji asked, "I bet you gave him quite the shiner too."
"As if, Yu got knocked out after one punch," Chie softly laughed to herself, "My dad still is bragging about it!"
"Is he still bitter about all of it?" Yosuke asked.
"He came over last week to apologize. You could tell he really still hates my guts, I'm like the guy whose taking away his daughter," Yu explained, "I'm honestly afraid."
"He's fine," Chie said, "He just is getting used to the idea of me seriously dating someone."
"As well as other things," Yosuke suggested looking around at the group.
"How are your parents reacting to you dating Yukiko?" Yu asked.
"They're fine with it; I think my dad is pretty proud I scored a chick like Yukiko," Yosuke said, "Not sure how Yukiko's parents feel about me though."
"They think you're an idiot and don't know what I see in you," Yukiko said straight out as a frown cracked on Yosuke's face, "But I like you, and that's what matters." Yosuke smiled again.
"What about you two?" Yosuke turned towards Kanji and Naoto.
"My mom knows and she's fine," Kanji grumbled, "She still thinks Naoto is kinda… a guy," he grumbled under his breath quickly taking a bite of fish.
"What?" Yu said, "How?"
"She hasn't seen her yet," Kanji said, "I tell her she's a girl, but she doesn't believe me and thinks I'm lying." The group all laughed, including Naoto.
"And Rise, you're grandmother's opinions?" Yosuke asked.
"She loves Teddie," Rise said as she gave Teddie a big hug and kissed him, "He's the 'mysterious foreign boy' and he's all mine."
"And all Teddie has to deal with is everyone around him hating his guts," Yosuke said.
"Ebearybody loves Teddie," he said as he gave Rise another kiss.
"That they do," Yu laughed.
"Alright, everyone to your assigned tents!" the teacher began to yell at all the students all began to dismiss themselves to their tents. The four girls walked to their tent and the four guys walked to their tent as well.
*Later that night in the boys tent*
The four guys all lay around on the ground, maintaining a respectable distance from one another.
"Hey Yu," asked Yosuke, "Since it's just the four us guys in here, can I ask you a question, man to man?"
"Okay," Yu pondered, "What?"
"We'll, I was wondering, and I'm just asking because I feel you will be a hundred percent honest about it," said Yosuke, "What is… what is sex like?"
"What?" Yu coughed out.
"I'm wondering, I…I wanna take things to the next level with Yukiko and I'm nervous, and I figured you could tell me about how it was like with Chie and if everything went as you expect," Yosuke explained himself.
"Are you and Yukiko really at that point?" Yu asked.
"Well… no, we make out occasionally, but I just wanna know! I'm sure Kanji and Teddie are just as curious, right?" Yosuke looked over at the two, "You guys are thinking about that stuff with Naoto and Rise, right?"
"We've talked about it," said Kanji, "That's kinda personal Yosuke; I don't think Yu is comfortable talking about that kind of stuff."
"No it's fine," Yu said, "I can talk to you about how it all went down." Yu cleared his throat and tried to find the right words. "Well it was Christmas Eve; we just had finished off Adachi, Nanako and Dojima were in the hospital, so we decided to spend the day together at my place…"
*Girl's tent*
"Come on Chie; tell us about it," Rise said, "I want to hear all the steamy details."
"I…I don't know if I can, it's wrong to kiss and tell," Chie giggled.
"It's just Yu," Yukiko giggled, "Come on, we all want to know, right Naoto?"
"I'll admit that I'm curious," Naoto said as she rolled over to look at Chie.
"You never truly told us the whole story, and I'm sure the guys already know all about it," Rise said, "So spit it out Chie."
Chie was blushing now, the other three girls waiting on nails for Chie to begin her story. "Well, it was Christmas and I told my parents I was staying at Yukiko's for the night. He bought a small cake and we ate it in his room." The two groups respectively explained the story to each other.
"So, we ate a cake I got," Yu said, "We talked for a little while."
"It was really nice," Chie said, "It grew late and he said he should probably take me home."
"I was going to take her home, but she told me she wanted to stay and that she told her parents that she was staying at Yukiko's for the night, but she wanted to stay with me," Yu said as Yosuke started smiling.
"Oh boy," Yosuke said, "It's getting all hot in here now."
"Wow Chie, how daring," Yukiko giggled, "I'm surprised your parents didn't try to call mine at some point."
"Anyways," said Chie, "We started to kiss, it was wonderful," Chie let out a nervous giggled.
"We made out for a little while and then I removed her coat and she removed my shirt," Yu said, "And then we slowly removed the rest of our clothes and... that's that."
"That's that?" Kanji said, "Come on, tell us a little more than that."
Rise giggled, "How was the foreplay?"
"Amazing," Chie blushed, "He's really good with his hands, and we must've kissed every part of our bodies, I could hear his heart beat, it was so romantic."
"Well, what do you want to know?" Yu asked the group.
"Did it hurt?" Yosuke asked.
"What? No!" Yu said, "I mean, I got a slight cramp at one point, but it didn't hurt, it was wonderful."
"Did it hurt?" Yukiko asked.
"A little at first, it's kinda painful, but after a little while it gets easier, nothing to be worried about," Chie smiled.
"So, how long did it all last once it began," Naoto asked, "I mean, it was both your first times, right?"
"Yeah," Chie said, "It lasted… about as long as you would think."
"So you were a minuteman?" Yosuke laughed; Kanji and Teddie both laughed with Yosuke.
"Hey, it was my first time," Yu yelled, "It happens to everyone, I'm not like that anymore, and I've only gotten better with time, like wine. I'm sure if you asked Chie right now she would tell you how I pleased her in every way imaginable."
"He absolutely sucked at it," Chie said as the girls all laughed, "It was his first time, I can't really blame him."
"After all of it was said and done, what did you do?" Rise asked, "I bet you snuggled all night on that little futon of his."
"Hey got up and made me coco," the girls all cooed, "It had marshmallows, it was wonderful. He's the best guy in the world."
"Wow, sounds like a hell of a night," Yosuke said.
"Yeah, it was," Yu said, "Did that answer all your questions?"
"Oh yeah," Yosuke said, "Now I can't wait!"
"Well, you do realize you have to wait till Yukiko is comfortable with it too," Yu said.
"Oh god, I hope Yosuke is as kind as Yu is," Yukiko said, "That sounds amazing."
"Are you going to do it with Yosuke?" Chie asked.
"Maybe," Yukiko blushed and brushed her hair away from her face, "I'm scared, but maybe we'll talk about it and make a date and then… it'll happen, I mean down the road a ways of course."
The groups gossiped for the rest of the night until they drifted off to sleep.
*The next day, after being dismissed*
"Ah, the river!" Yosuke said as they all ran towards the familiar spot from a year ago.
"There's a lot more people here then last time," Kanji said, "I don't think I can do this."
"Oh no," Chie said, "We made you such a delicious dinner, better than that French restaurant you guys took us to." The four guys grumbled, then grabbed their pink Speedos and headed off into the woods to change. The four returned, pink from embarrassment and their swimsuits.
"Turn around Yosuke, I wanna see something," Yukiko started to laugh. He turned around, showing off the bedazzled cat on the back of the Speedo. The girls all started to laugh, the guys looking like they just wanted to die.
"Nice pussy Hanamura!" he heard a student in the river cry out, "It fits you and Tatsumi very well."
"Damn it, no matter what I do I end up looking gay," Yosuke said as he put his head down in shame.
"Tell me about it," Kanji sobbed.
*Back in Inaba*
Yu arrived back at the house, putting his bag down and walking over to the couch, Dojima watching the news and Nanako was off in her room playing.
"I got a surprise call from someone," Dojima said as he read the paper, "Your mother."
"What did she have to say?" Yu asked.
"She's coming to Inaba for the week," Dojima said, "She's taking the train out, she'll be here tomorrow. She's going to be staying at The Amagi Inn, but she really wants to spend some time with you."
"Is dad coming too?" Yu asked.
"No, he's busy, so he can't make it, but he sends his regards," Dojima said. "We'll go pick your mom up after school; we'll have dinner back here and spend some family time together."
*After school the next day*
"So, guess who is coming to Inaba?" Yu said to the group. They were all hanging out on the roof together. "My mom."
"Your parents are coming to Inaba?" Chie said in surprise.
"Just my mom," Yu explained, "My dad is busy and can't make it, but she wanted to spend the week here with me, getting to know the town. I actually better get going, I got to meet her with Dojima and Nanako at YasoInaba Station," he said getting up.
"Do we get to meet her?" Yosuke asked, "I'm sure she'll be interested in the friends you've made… not to mention your girlfriend."
"I don't think my heart can take it," said Chie, "Meeting your parents already, hopefully it goes better than when you met my dad."
"I highly doubt my mom is going to punch you in face," Yu said hurrying away from the group and off to the train station. He nearly had to sprint the whole way there, arriving just as his mom's train did. Dojima and Nanako were standing by the car, Yu joined them. The people got off one by one, and eventually Yu saw the familiar face of his mother. She had silver hair like him, and a slim figure for her age, she was a real beauty.
"Mom!" Yu smiled as she ran up to him giving him a big hug.
"I've missed my baby boy so much," she said giving him a big kiss of the cheek, "I've been worried about you so much!"
"I can tell," Yu said as he squirmed away from his mom's death grip of a hug.
"How are you?" Yu's mother asked Dojima, "It's been years."
"It's good to see you two sis," he said giving her a big hug.
"And you must be Nanako," she bent down to give Nanako a hug, "I'm your aunt, you've gotten so big, much bigger than the pictures I have of you, how old are you now?"
"I'm 8!" she smiled.
"Wow! 8 years old, you're pretty much an adult at this point; soon you'll be as big as my son, if not bigger!" Yu's mom smiled, "Should we get going?"
"Let's," Dojima said as the four got into the car and headed home.
*Later that night at dinner*
"So, what have you been up to this past year?" Yu's mom asked him, "Staying out of trouble hopefully."
"I've been working, hanging out with friends, studying, the usual," Yu said, "Participated in a few clubs, worked a little, just having a good time in general. I've been helping out around the house as well."
"That's good," she said, "Make any friends?"
"I have a tight group of friends," Yu said.
"What do you do with your friends?" she asked. Yu was tempted to say how he saved lives with them and together they saved the world from being destroyed, but held himself back for obvious reasons.
"We hang out I guess," Yu said.
"I see…so… you have a special lady in your life yet that I should know about?" Yu blushed, his mom always trying to see if he had anyone he cared about.
"Big bro has been dating his friend Chie for the last year," Nanako spoke up, "They're really happy together."
"Really? A whole year! So tell me about her," Yu's mom asked, "Is it serious?"
"Uh, yeah," Yu muttered.
"Big bro got in trouble the other day because of her," Nanako said, "Her dad hit him because he..uh… what did he say?" Nanako tried to find the words as Dojima tried to sush her up, "He… fucked her! He fucked his daughter!"
"Nanako!" Dojima yelled, "Don't say things like that, it's a bad word and inappropriate!"
"Sorry dad," Nanako sadly said.
"Wait, you got beaten up by her dad?" She cried, "What the heck is wrong with him!?"
"Listen it was all a big misunderstanding," Yu explained, "He apologized and it was all fine in the end."
"Well, do I get to meet her at least?" Yu's mom said, "I'll take you two out to eat tomorrow, just the three of us. Is there anywhere you think she would like?"
"She really likes Aiya's, it's a Chinese diner, she enjoys their beef bowl," Yu said, "She's a big fan of steak."
"Well, ask her out tomorrow, we'll have a nice talk about things," she said. The four ate dinner and talked, eventually heading to bed.
*The next day after school*
"Hey Chie, I have a question to ask you," Yu asked, "My mom wants to meet you, and she said that the three of us could go out to get at Aiya's, her treat."
"Today?" Chie cried, "I don't know…"
"She really wants to meet you," Yu said, "It'll be fun, I promise."
"Alright," she nervously shook in place, "I feel like I'm going to explode." The two walked out of the classroom and down the stairs. "Okay, here we go," she said holding his hand as they walked out of the school.
*At Aiya's*
"Is that her?" Chie squeaked out, "She looks like you."
"Indeed it is," Yu said at the two walked towards his mom, "Hey Mom!"
"Hi sweetie," she said.
"Mom, I want to introduce you to Chie Satonaka, my girlfriend," Yu said as he pushed Chie ahead towards his mom.
"Hi, I'm Chie Satonaka, my girlfriend… his girlfriend," she gasped out.
"It's nice to meet you," she said as she shook her hand. Yu could feel the awkward tension emanating from Chie. She was so clearly nervous, looking like she could keel over at any moment.
"Let's head inside," he said as the three went inside and got a table. They placed there orders and waited.
"So, Chie, what do you like to do?" Yu's mom asked, "Do you have any hobbies?"
"I really like Kung fu movies and martial arts," she laughed nervously, "I work out a lot."
"I can tell, you've got some killer arm muscles," Yu's mom smiled, "I assume you two are in the same grade?"
"Yeah, we're in the same class," Yu said, "We sit right next to each other."
"That's nice, so I heard the two of you have been dating for almost a year now?" she asked.
"Yeah," Chie said.
"So I presume you two are very serious about each other?" Yu's mom asked.
"Yeah, it's super serious," Chie managed to muster up all her courage, "I lu-lu-lu-lu-lu-love your son." The three fell awkwardly silent over Chie apparently having a stroke mid-sentence, "I...I'm sorry."
"No don't be," Yu's mom said, "Do you feel this way too?" she asked Yu.
"Yeah, I love her too," he said. Chie looked like she was going to die; there was nothing more embarrassing to Chie then having to talk to your parents about things like love and dating, except maybe one thing.
"So, I know this is awkward, but we need to talk about you two being sexually active," Yu's mom calmly said. The color completely faded away from the two of them as they looked around expected people to take notice of what Yu's mom said.
"God," Chie cried, "Kill me now."
"Now, I'm more understanding about this than your uncle is, but as long as the two of you are being safe, I'm okay with it," Yu's mom said as they tried to change the subject, "This summer, you should come out to the city and stay with us Chie, I bet you would really like it there." The waiter arrived with their food; the three had a pleasant dinner, eventually leaving.
"You know, if you really want to be a cop Chie, try to get into the Tokyo police academy, Yu is thinking about colleges around there, so the two of you could get an apartment somewhere," Yu's mom said as they walked out of the restaurant.
"Really, that sounds amazing," Chie said, "I'll look into that."
"You should, and really think about coming out to the city for a week or so," Yu's mom said, "There's a lot to see in the city. It's been a real pleasure meeting you Chie," she shook Chie's hand.
"You two," she laughed.
I'll meet you back home honey," she said as she hugged Yu, "Love you."
"Love you too mom," said Yu said as she turned around and left.
"See it was a wonderful night," Yu said to Chie as the two began to walk back to her place.
"It was, I really like her," Chie said, "I hope your dad is nicer than mine was."
"Hey can be a bit rough, but he's a good guy," Yu said as they continued on their way. The two talked and eventually arrived at Chie's house.
"Goodnight," Chie said as the two leaned in and kiss, "I love you."
"I love you too," Yu said.
*The next day, after school*
"Dude, this steak is delicious," Yosuke said. The group was hanging around in the shopping district eating steak skewers. The group sat there and chatted for a little while.
"Hey, Yu, it's your mom!" Chie said as she waved her over.
"That's your mom?" Yosuke said he turned to Teddie and Kanji whispering, "Guys…Yu has a hot mom!"
"She's bearutiful," Teddie whispered back.
"Oh hey there sweetie," Yu's mom said coming over to the group, "I take it these are your friends?"
"Yeah," Yu said, "You know Chie, and this is Yosuke, Kanji, Ted, Naoto, Rise, and Yukiko."
"You're staying at my family's inn," Yukiko said, "Maybe you've seen me around."
"I recognize your face," Yu's mom said, "Your family runs an amazing inn, and those hot springs, have you guys tried those? Amazing!"
"Yeah," Teddie cried out, "We all took a bath together a while back; it was really fun seeing everyone naked." Yu put his hands over his face, the entire group cringing from Teddies' comment.
"Well that's… good," Yu's mom said, "…I'm glad you found some friends, Yu has been really lonely these past few years, constantly having to move school to school. I'm happy for you."
"Thanks mom," Yu said, still embarrassed.
"If you want to be naked with me in those springs," Teddie slid up to Yu's mom, laying out all of his charm, "I'd be happy to bear myself for you."
"Oh," Yu's mom began to blush as every muscle in Yu's body tightened in rage, "I'm married to Yu's father, but I appreciate the offer," Yu's mom seemed to flirt back to the amazement of everyone in the group, "I'll see you later honey," she said walking off. Yu turned around and kicked Teddie right in the shin. "Why the hell did you tell my mom we all bathed together? I'm never going to hear the end of this! And don't hit on my mom!"
"Could you blame the guy though?" Rise laughed, "She is pretty good looking."
"Yeah, if she was single and I was single you know I'd be all over her," Yosuke said hi fiving Kanji.
"No!" Yu yelled out, "I would never let any of you date my mom, and I don't want you even thinking about her like that. Plus, you guys are all dating someone; you can't just flirt openly like that!" Chie let out a huge laugh as the entire group began to crack up, "What?"
"Yu," Yukiko wiped the tears away from her face, "You literally flirt with every girl you talk to, including all of us."
"I do not," Yu said.
"Are…are you serious," Naoto asked, "We all talk about it; nobody thinks you're serious about it, but how do you not know you flirt with everyone?"
"I swear I don't do that," Yu explained.
"Okay Mr. Manwhore," Rise laughed.
"Manwhore?" Yu asked.
"That's what we all call you behind your back, Yu "Manwhore" Narukami," Yosuke said followed by Yukiko hitting him on the back of the head, "What? The truth is coming out so we might as well say it; we all think you're a manwhore and you're mom is hot."
"I'm not a manwhore, because that implies I've been seeing other girls than Chie!" Yu said, "Chie, you don't think that do you?"
"No," Chie said, "I know you're loyal to me, because if you weren't I'd kick your ass so hard that the beating my dad gave to you would be a walk in the park, but you are a flirty manwhore."
"If that's really what you all think, then I'm gonna change it, I'm not going to be a manwhore in your eyes," Yu proudly declared.
"Sure, that'll be the day," Yosuke rolled his eyes as Yu threw his steak skewer at him, the group all laughing as the two began to fight.
*The next day at school*
Class was just about to begin and Yu was sitting at his desk, getting ready for another day at school, when he looked over and saw a guy going up to Yukiko.
"Hey there Yukiko, do you wanna get some coffee later?" he asked her, "Just the two of us, my treat."
"Sorry, no thanks," she rejected his advances.
"Come on, I'm asking you out on a date, don't you want a boyfriend?" he desperately asked her.
"I already have a boyfriend," she said. The entire class almost yelled after she said the statement. All the guys turned to her looking at her to see if she was serious.
"Someone won the Amagi challenge?" A dude yelled out, "Who?"
"I shouldn't say, you'll all be mad at him," Yukiko started to blush.
"She's lying," another dude said, "She just wants to have people stop asking her so much."
"Fine, you really wanna know," Yukiko said, "I'm dating Yosuke." The class all started laughing at the mere thought of the two going out.
"Quit laughing," Yosuke yelled, "It's true."
"Yukiko, if you're gonna lie, try to be a little more believable," the guy who just asked her out explained.
"But he is my boyfriend," Yukiko said as she turned to Yosuke, grabbed his head and started kissing him in front of everyone. Every guy in the class lost it, most in shock over what they were seeing.
"This is bullshit!" a guy yelled as he stormed out of the class. Yukiko stopped kissing Yosuke, who was seeing stars at this point from the passionate kiss. Chie was in shock too; mostly over the fact Yukiko was being so open with Yosuke now.
"Well…shit," the man who asked Yukiko out pondered to himself, trying to somehow top it all off, he turned to Chie, "You wanna go out with me? You're the only other girl in this class people like…so…"
"I'm dating Yu," she said.
"Goddamn it," he said, "I live here my entire life and the only two girls worth a dime in this grade are taken away by transfer students." He let out a disgusting sigh as he went back to his desk to pout, the entire class still amazed over what they had seen.
*Lunchtime*
"I really cannot believe you made this," Chie said to Yu as the two along with Yukiko and Yosuke ate some delicious spring rolls Yu whipped up last night on the roof, "How are you so good at cooking?"
"Practice and I follow the instructions," Yu said as he took another bite, looking around as he noticed a bunch of people near them on the ground watching them eat, "Hey!" Yu shouted down at them as they all began to scatter away.
"What's with them?" Yukiko asked.
"Probably wanted to see if we were making out," Chie said, "Apparently the show you and Yosuke put on earlier wasn't enough."
"Well, I'm not complaining, but I wouldn't mind doing it again," Yosuke smiled.
"We can make out later after school back in my room," Yukiko bluntly said as Yosuke gave a fist pump. Yu softly laughed to himself as the group finished up their lunch. They headed back to class, Chie and Yukiko heading off to the bathroom together as Yu and Yosuke continued on.
"So, you and Yukiko getting along?" Yu asked.
"Yeah," Yosuke smiled, "It's weird, we've got similar interests and stuff, she enjoys my company and I enjoy hers, who would've thought?"
"No one," Yu said, "The two of you have really grown up over the past year." The two sat down at their seats, still talking.
"Hanamura!" a man popped his head into the classroom and looked at him, "You da man!" Yosuke gave a thumbs up. Yu smiled too, happy Yosuke finally found someone.
*The Ladies Bathroom*
"So tell me how is it going with Yosuke?" Chie asked as Yukiko washed her hands, "I'm surprised he hasn't annoyed the hell out of you yet."
"You'd think that, but I don't know what it is," Yukiko said, "He's changed a lot and I really like hanging around with him, it's… an odd feeling."
"Like, you… care about him?" Chie asked.
"Yeah, he's fun to be around and we have a lot of things we like to do together and…" Yukiko pondered to herself.
"Do you… love him?" Chie asked.
"No, I wouldn't say that…but he's important to me and I know he cares about me," Yukiko smiled.
"Well, good for you, just ignore whatever the other girls say," Chie and Yukiko walked out of the bathroom together. The two laughed as they headed back to class.
