When they left the Kendo Department, Uesugi Shio didn't stop them, just lazily waved a hand in farewell.
The time was four thirty in the afternoon.
The train home was already packed with people, mostly young students.
Uesugi Sakura sat on the reflective train seat, flipping through a book, preparing for the upcoming monthly exams.
The unique scent of a girl suddenly filled his nostrils.
"What's wrong?"
Little Hanabi moved closer to him, and because they were on the train, Uesugi Sakura lowered his voice.
Hanamaru Hanabi tugged at his coat with her small hand, her weak voice barely louder than the clattering sound of the train: "Did... did you come looking for Hanabi today too, Sakura-kun..."
Uesugi Sakura closed the book, a smile appearing on his handsome face that he showed only to her.
"Little Hanabi has been very clingy lately, always messaging me to ask where I am, even though I'm just at the library reading."
