Chapter Text
It was the school's tradition that every student in the first grade had a pen pal with a student from another city. It was a project that was only required to last for the entire year, but it was encouraged that they keep in contact with their pen pals afterwards.
If it wasn't for his brother's messy handwriting, Yukio probably wouldn't have found it so easy to read the name in the card in front of him. Shima Renzou. It was an interesting name. He'd never heard of a name like it before. He wondered if it was more common in Kyoto.
Looking over at his brother's card, he found the neat penmanship of someone who looked like they could be writing in a textbook. Suguro Ryuuji. Well, Ryuuji was more familiar but Suguro again was another weird name.
Yukio sighed with soft worry. He wondered if they would be able to get along, if maybe they were too different for friendship.
But Rin was already chatting about what kind of a person Suguro could be and Yukio was once again swept away by his big brother's bravery. What kind of person is Shima Renzou, he thought to himself.
I hope he'll like me.
