Ness reacted with a “ ♥️” to this message
Reo reacted with a “ 💜” to this message
Hyoma reacted with a “ 🤤” to this message
Smiling Reo places his phone down, returning his focus to his professor.
On the board was written “principles of finance : TVM”
“Assuming you paid attention in science class, you should all know the principle that matter equals mass multiplied by the speed of light squared. Now I’m sure you’re all wondering what exactly this has to do with the principles of science.” His professor said, turning towards the board and writing something in chalk.
“Similarly, we in business use TVM, time value of Money.”
Reo’s already familiar with this term, but he has nothing else to do, so he just writes some notes.
Who knows, maybe Yuki will want to borrow them or something.
Clearing his throat and turning his attention back to the class, continuing, “Now pay close attention, take a look at the board”
‘PV(present value) = FV(future value)/ (1+r)n’
“Can anyone tell me what r and n represent?”
Reo raises his hand on instinct.
“Mikage,” his professor acknowledges.
“R represents the interest or discount rate, while N shows the number of periods”
The professor nods. “Yes, very good, Mikage. I’d like to go over more, but the period has come to an end. I’ll see you all Thursday, and remember to pick up your textbooks for the new unit from the library by then”
Quickly gathering his stuff, Reo is stopped by a hand on his shoulder, “Hey Mikage! Are you busy after this?” Yuki smiles at him.
“Yeah, sorry, but I’m free tonight. I can come by and see you guys after the movie thing the baking club is hosting.” he smiles back.
“If you want,” he adds, grinning.
Yukimiya's cheeks slightly redden. “Ah, it’s ok, maybe another time.”
“Yeah totally! And hey, what’d I tell you about calling me by my last name, kenyuu?! We’ve known each other long enough; don’t be so formal,” he chuckles, flicking Yuki's forehead before turning on his heel to leave.
“Right, sorry!” He hears as he walks away, waving him off.

Meguru
Yo is anyone gonna be here soon? I look like a loner sitting by myself 😭😭
Hyoma
Just talk to your monster
Ness
I’ll be there in five🥺
Reo
Same here
Meguru
Guys hurry up it’s getting boring talking to my monster 💔
Hyoma
I was just joking please stop…
Anyways
Im literally one minute away chill
“Reoo,” Ness coos at him.
His usual soft smile on his face, the one that was slightly different from the fake one he used. If you looked hard enough, the creases in his face were softer when it was genuine.
It’s a smile Reo has been familiar with since they poured their hearts out to each other.
"Haha, we're here at the same time.” Reo smirks while Ness just nods at him.
Bachira immediately perks up when he sees them.
“Reochi! Ness!! Over here,” he yells obnoxiously loud from a booth, receiving strange looks from customers.
Hyoma smiles up at them, offering a wave. “Hey guys,” Reo greets, sitting down next to Bachira, leaving his bag next to him.
Hyoma and Ness start idly chatting while Bachira contemplates what to get.
“Can we share a milkshake, Hyoma?” Bachira winks at him, while Hyoma recoils with a look of disgust.
“Ew, no.”
Bachira just whines at him.
“Reochi, you’ll share one with me, right?” He sulks, hugging Reo's side. “Ah, sure.” Reo chuckles nervously, ruffling Bachira's hair.
Freeing himself from Bachira's grip, Reo stretches his arms.
“I’m gonna go order. What do you guys want?” He says, looking at them all expectantly.
“Can I get one of those bubble waffles?” Ness asks,
“I’ll get a strawberry Nutella crepe,” Chigiri adds.
Ringing the bell at the corner, he was greeted by Kurona. “What can I get for you?” he paused before looking up.
“Oh hey, it's you, Reo Reo.”
“Hey Kurona, I completely forgot you worked here, anyways can I get one bubble waffle, one Nutella strawberry crepe, A vanilla milkshake with sprinkles and whipped cream, and whatever today's special is.”
“Alright, that'll be 6,432 yen. Would you like a receipt, receipt?”
“Nah, it's ok,” he says, tapping the card reader.
It didn’t take that long for their stuff to be ready; he could see about three people working in the back.
When he came back with their orders, Bachira was lying down at the booth playing some game on his phone, immediately sitting up when he saw Reo approach.
“Sorry, I wasn't sure what flavor to get, so I chose vanilla. Don't worry, though I got whipped cream and sprinkles!” he grinned, while Bachira cheerfully took the drink from him.
Ness looked amazed while he stared at the bubble waffle. “I don't think I've ever seen anything like this in Germany,” he beamed. Chigiri trying to hold in a laugh next to him.
“So how's everyone's day going?” Bachira asks with a mouthful of raspberry mouse cup from Reo.
“It's been way more chill since we finished most of our core classes this year, but I've been spending all of my time trying to get in my hours.” Hyoma sighs while Ness pats him on the back.
Bachira grimaces. “Yikes, I'm glad I'm an art major, anyways what about you, Ness? Reochi?”
“Nothing interesting with me,” Ness huffs, taking another bite from his bubble waffle.
“Same here, hey I heard they're holding a movie night in the building two dorms common area. Are you guys going?”
Everyone looks at him, shocked.
“Why are YOU going?” Hyoma interrogates.
“I mean if you guys are…”
“REO GOING TO THE DORMS MOVIE NIGHT SOMEONE WRITE DOWN THIS MOMENT IN HISTORY!!” Bachira exclaims, shaking Reo by his shoulder.
“Wait, who's hosting it?” Ness quips.
“The baking club is; I'm probably gonna go since Hiori is one of their presidents, but it would be nice if you guys are going too...” Reo trails off.
“Aw, you do love us,” Chigiri teases.
“Whatever,” Reo huffs, “So are you guys going or not?”
A brief moment of silence passes between them before anyone speaks.
"Of course I'll go!” Bachira shouts.
“Since Reo wants to, sure.” Ness chimes in, Chigiri nodding his head along.
Reo lets out a sigh of relief. “Perfect. Text me when you guys get there. I have a student council meeting to attend, so I'll see you guys there!” he smiles, slinging his bag over his shoulder.
“Aww, bye, Reochi,” Bachira whines.
Ness and Chigir say something, but he can't hear them as he walks to the counter.
“Hey, Kurona, is Niko off yet?”
“Yeah, he's just getting his stuff.” Reo nods, idly chatting with Kurona as he waits for Niko.
“Oh, hey Reo-san, what are you doing here?” Niko taps his shoulder.
"I was getting food with my friends and figured I'd wait for you before I leave so we can walk to the council meeting together.” Reo smiles at him, leading the other to stutter and blush slightly at his directness.
They walk together, quietly, occasionally talking about their classes.
Student council
7:31 pm
General committee - Zantetsu
Hey
Can somebody let me in?
I think the buildings locked
General committee - Aryu
Zantetsu dear the door is unlocked
Are you at the right building?
General committee - Zantetsu
Oh
Dont think so
Fundraising officer 2 - Hiori
Someone should probably go find him 😭😭
Vice secretary - Niko
Reo and I will be there soon
We’ll look for him i guess
Reo chuckles reading the text, seeing Zantetsu outside the wrong building.
“Zantetsu over here, you're at the wrong building,” Niko shouts.
Zantetsu jumps from the sudden noise before walking over to them and pushing up his glasses.
“Right, I knew that.”
“Sure you did”
“You're late,” Rin grumbles when they arrive.
“Well, actually, the meeting doesn't start for another fifteen minutes,” Niko chimes in, earning a dirty look from Rin.
“Nice to see you too, Rin,” Zantetsu waves.
Someone clears their throat to get everyone's attention.
“Well then, seeing as everyone's here, we should start. Sit down, everyone.”
“Actually, you're the only one standing,” Otoya interrupts, Sae glaring at him and Karasu smacking him, earning a youch from the latter.
Chuckling at everyone's antics, Reo gets their attention when he starts speaking. “Nice to see you're all getting along. Anyway, there's not much to cover today, besides the upcoming festival and movie night in dorm building two today.” he trails off. “Has the dorms supervisor been alerted”
Kunigami raises his hand. “Yup, I'm actually the supervisor.”
Right.
Reo's smile falters as his heart begins to sink; hopefully Kunigami doesn't cross paths with Chigiri
“Oh right.” he straightens up, “Ok, so anyone got ideas for this year's theme?” he inquires.
“Why don't we do a forum or something this year, let the students pick?” Yukimiya pipes, earning looks from everyone.
“Mhm, that could be interesting; we can put the most glam options in a poll.” Aryu nods.
“I suppose that could work. Anyone else have suggestions, or is Kenyuu's idea good enough?” Reo asks; everyone just nods, no one seeming to have anything to add.
Everyone stands up to leave. “Sae, can you write a proposal?”
“Sure.”
“Oh, and Kenyuu or Niko, I need one of you to submit it to Ms. Anri, please.” The two nod at him.
Five minutes later..

SOMEONE GRAB A PAIR OF PAJAMAS FOR ME PLEASE
I DON'T CARE WHICH ONES
Ness
Dw hyoma already did
Istg he must be a psychic
Meguru
Yo that’s what I’ve been saying
Stuffing his stuff clumsily into his bag, Reo sprinted to dorm building two, bumping into someone on his way in.
“Ah, sorry, I’m in a hurry!” He apologized, bowing his head before running off to the common area.
That person he bumped into, though, looked kind of familiar…
Not many people around campus had white hair; Reo quickly prayed to himself that it wasn’t Nagi Seishirou.
Never mind that he needed to get to Chigiri.
When he did, it seemed like Reo was far too late; Kunigami already cornered him.
“Hyoma!” He waved, rushing over to them. “Sorry I took so long. I had some stuff I needed to do,” he pants.
Kunigami looks over at him, a bit bothered, waving them both a goodbye before walking away.
The two just look at each other in shock. “So..what was that about?” He gapes at Chigiri, who is silently staring at Kunigami's back, eyes widened.
Snapping his fingers in Chigiri's face, the other flinches. “Oh uhmm…I don’t even know,” he sighs.
“Looks like Knight Reo came to Princess Hyoma's rescue!” Bachira chuckles, approaching with Ness.
“I feel like Reo's also a princes he's basically royalty,” Ness snorts
“Anyways, Hyoma, spill why’d Kunigami come up to you!” Bachira squeals. The latter just looks at him blankly.
“I’m not really sure, to be honest; we haven’t really talked since…you know…”
Reo sighs, patting Chigiri on the back. “Can you two go pick out a spot?” He asks Ness and Bachira.
“Sure thing!” Bachira smirks as he fake salutes them.
Taking Chigiri's wrist, Reo drags him to the bathroom.
“So what’d you bring me?”
“Just your purple pajama set with the Kuromi on the pocket”
Smiling at him, Reo takes the shirt and changes in a bathroom stall (albeit reluctantly).
“All right, done. Let's head back”
“Hopefully those two chose a good spot,” Chigiri grumbles.
They spotted Ness and Bachira with Otoya, Karasu, and Yukimiya.
“Hey where Hiori?” Reo asks, raising a brow at Karasu.
“Manning the front, he said he’ll join later,” Karasu dismisses, his slight frown noticeable.
“Wait, are you all wearing Sanrio? Was this some kind of secret plan behind my back?” Ness joked half-heartedly, eyes squinting slightly.
Right, I guess they were matching.
Reo with his Kiromi shirt, Chigiri wearing his My Melody shirt with some faded black sweats, and Bachira with his Pompompurin shorts and shirt set.
Oh, and Chigiri was sharing a My Melody and Kuromi blanket with Reo.
“No Ness, we love you!” Bachira coos, wrapping his arms around Ness.
Chigiri pokes Ness in the cheek. “Please don’t tell me you're wearing that stupid dog shirt Kaiser got you ages ago.” he rolls his eyes, Ness sputtering.
“Hey, I just really like dogs ok!”
Otoya eyes them, “Yeah, and I just really like soccer,” he snickers, making Ness scowl at him.
He’d never really played soccer before Yukimiya and Hiori convinced them.
They’re interrupted by someone making a speech; it was one of the baking club's presidents, Nanase, thanking everyone and saying the movie would start shortly or something.
Five minutes later, Hiori headed towards them, Shidou trailing behind him, dragging Sae with him.
Behind them was Rin..Isagi..Kunigami... and nagi.
Great.
It wasn’t much of a surprise considering Hiori and Isagi were very good friends, plus the other two were Isagi's roommates and Shidou dragged Sae, who was Rin's brother.
“Pst Hyoma…are you sure you wanna stay?” Bachira whispers.
Chigiri just nodded.
It’s not that they don’t like them.
Well ok, it was a difficult situation to say the least.
Hiori took his place next to Karasu, who immediately put an arm around him.
“Took ye long enough,” he grumbled, earning a snicker from Hiori.
“Hey re-” Nagi tried saying, beginning to sit next to him before Shidou rushed over and took his spot.
“Oh, too slow!” He snickered.
And Nagi looked at him like he had just killed his family in front of him.
“Was that really necessary...” he could hear Nagi mumble, making Shidou laugh.
“Reo, what movie’s playing anyway?” Chigiri asks.
“I actually don’t know”
“You’re joking with me..”
“Ask Hiori”
“And interrupt his moment with Karasu? Do you want me to die?”
Reo was really trying to pay attention to the movie ok?
But it was kind of hard with his ex-best friend(?) staring at him almost the entire time. Practically glaring at Hyoma when Reo tried resting on his shoulder.
Honestly, what was with him?
They weren't exactly close right now, so why on earth was he acting like this!?
When the movie was over, he saw Isagi trying to converse with Bachira, who was trying his best not to look like he wanted to burst off running, especially with Rin looming over the two of them.
Chigiri had already gone back to their dorm with Ness making up some excuse to not stay any longer.
Leaving Reo to wait for Bachira while doing his best to avoid Nagi.
After about five minutes of watching Isagi fumble at conversing, he’d had enough.
“Meguru, let's go,” he said, dragging him away by the hand while Bachira awkwardly waved at Rin and Isagi.
“I feel like the universe is out for us tonight,” Bachira groaned.
“First we had Kunigami trying to talk with Chigiri, then Nagis’ ass trying to sit next to you! You're lucky Shidou’s like besties with you,” he grumbled at the end, “And then the universe decides to send the love birds my way,” he fake-gagged, but Reo could see the actual discomfort in his face.
Trying to reassure him reo patted Bachira on the head. “There, there; we only have to deal with them a few times a month. Ness is so lucky he didn't have to suffer with us since Kaiser wasn't there”
“Oi reo what was the name of that movie we were just watching, I'm gonna be honest I wasn't watching any of it”
Reo just awkwardly scratches the back of his neck. “Beats me; I wasn't either...”
Receiving a side-eye from him before he yawned and stretched his arms before leisurely placing one over Reo's shoulders.
“We'll just have to have our own movie night,” he grins.

Ness

Ness
We like already tried and it like didnt work 😬😬
Reo places his phone back in his pocket, sliding a hand down his face, internally groaning while Bachira chuckles at him.
When they reached the room, it was already unlocked. Chigiri was lazing on the couch, listening to Ness, who was on the floor.
Ignoring them, Reo stomped over to his and Chigiri's shared room.
“Ryusei, what exactly are you doing?”
“Oh ya know, just hanging out,” he grins, kicking his feet in the air like a teenage girl.
“If you don’t get ou-”
“But Reoooo your beds so comfy,” he whines.
Reo tries to drag him off his bed before being pulled down with him.
“Oh my god, can you please at least shower first?” he scrunches up his nose, trying to push away the clinging Shidou.
“Shouldn’t you like be with Sae or something?” He adds.
Shidou sighs.
“He left halfway through the movie, said ‘have fun with your friend's whatever that means!”
“Dam he must really hate us,” Bachira chimes in from the doorway.
“I didn’t know today was takeover Reo's bed day!” He grins, plopping down in the bed.
“Both of you get out! Especially you, Meguru! You have your own bed!”
“Damm he told you,” Shidou whistles.
“If you’re gonna sleep here, please at least shower!” He shouts at him.
“Nah, I think I’m good”
