"I look forward to it, Saito. Enjoy the rest of your night. I have to go get some homework done. Good night."

"Good night!" Korei called after him, waving as he left her room. Once he was gone, she shut the door and sighed, going to sit on her bed. Where the hell is Shinsou? Is he okay? Why hasn't he responded to her text message yet? Woah, calm down there, Korei. He's probably busy training, stop acting like he's dying. Why is it that she always freaks out like this when he isn't around? Is she too dependent on him? God, what's wrong with her?

The idea that she's too clingy makes her want to take like three thousand steps back. Would this side of her scare Shinsou off? If he knew just how deeply it ran, would he even want to be around her anymore? It's not like she can really control it! She just realized that she's doing it! There has to be some kind of explanation for it. Maybe she just really cares about him and that's it? No, because she gets this insanely dreadful feeling that he's just going to leave her like everyone else in her life...or worse...what if he turns out to be like her grandmother? What if he thinks she's not good enough? Fuck, she's crying now.

No! She can't be acting like this! There's no point to be thinking like this! Shinsou cares about Korei, that much is evident. He would never treat her the way her grandmother does...and he definitely wouldn't leave her like her father did...and there's no fucking way that he'd ever lie about loving her like her mother did. She was stressing herself out over nothing. Maybe she needed that joint a lot more than she thought?

"Hey, kitten. Sorry, it took me some time, I wanted to get a quick shower so you wouldn't have to smell me," Shinsou chuckled as he entered her dorm room. He noticed she was sitting at her desk, messing around with the acrylic nail kit that his mother had given her. He also noticed that she had her earphones in. This made him smirk to himself, the idea of scaring her popping into his head. Should he? He didn't want to mess up her nail process and he knows just how confusing it is for a beginner, remembering how focused his mom was on it. Sighing to himself, he decided not to scare her today. Instead, he removed his shirt and tossed it onto her other desk chair as he made his way to her bed.

Korei's music was blaring through her earphones, Shinsou able to determine exactly which song she was listening to without getting too close. Shaking his head, he mumbled about how she'll most likely go deaf when they get older. Now standing behind her, he stepped out of his slippers and then plopped down on her bed, listening to the loud shriek that came from his girlfriend as she finally realized there was someone in her room.

"Hitoshi Shinsou! Never scare me like that again!" Korei scolded him, yanking her earbuds out and pushing herself away from her desk. Her purple-haired boyfriend smirked at her, his eyebrow raised in a challenging manner.

"Or what? You gonna hit me?" He winked and watched her face go bright red. Korei stammered over her response, watching him laugh and just kick his sweatpants off before getting comfortable in her bed. "That's what I thought, kitten. Plus, I wasn't even trying to scare you. You had your music up so loud that you didn't hear me come in. I tried talking to you." His hands were situated behind his head, this sly look on his face as he glanced over at her. "You really should get a TV in here or something babe. I'm dying over here."

"Hush it, Hoshi! You're lucky I'm letting you in here at all," she teased, sticking her tongue out at him before turning back to her nails. She was only able to do one hand, and it was definitely not the best but it looked really good. "I'm just glad I didn't mess up on my nails. I would be so embarrassed if that had happened." She pouted, grabbing her clear nail polish for the final layer. Shinsou rolled his eyes at her before letting them shut so he could drift off a little.

"I doubt you could mess up on anything, kitten. You're pretty amazing," he hummed quietly, the idea of sleeping becoming increasingly more attractive to him. "Now hurry up with that so we can cuddle."

"Of course, baby. I'll be done in just a few minutes." She smiled, glancing over at her boyfriend before suddenly getting this giddy feeling in her stomach. "Can I paint your nails, baby? I'll let you pick the color~!"

"Sure, yeah," he mumbled, clearly unaware of what he had just agreed to. "What color?"

"I have all the colors pretty much. I was thinking you'd like purple with a silver accent, solid black, solid navy blue, or solid silver. Which do you prefer?" She asked, rolling the chair closer to the bed so she could grab for his hand. Shinsou shuffled, one eye cracked open as his girlfriend's delicate hand held his rough one.

"What are you doing?" He asked again, enjoying the way her thumb rubbed over his skin. Why was that so soothing?

"I'm gonna do purple and silver, okay? I think it suits you," she giggled, tracing over the palm of his hand before turning to reach for her nail polish. "I wuv you~" she cooed, preparing to paint his nails while he half-slept.

"I wuv you too, kitty~" he mumbled tiredly. "You're the best thing in my life. I'm gonna marry you one day, promise."

"I'll hold you to it," and she would.
