It's no secret that Sasaki is smitten with his boyfriend. Even his college friends, who may not know his partner's identity, know how his priorities line up. His partner, his responsibilities, and everything after that are in a miscellaneous order.
So after agreeing to get ramen after class one day, Sasaki gets a sudden call that he unsurprisingly answers. His classmates brush it off as nothing, probably his partner saying 'hi' like usual whenever Sasaki complains they haven't seen each other in a while.
"Hello?" Sasaki answers in his sweet, lovestruck voice. One of his classmates gags affectionately.
A sniffle on the other end of the line gets Sasaki on high alert.
"Mya-chan?" Sasaki asks, not mindful of his audience. His voice is laced with concern as he presses, "What happened?"
"Shuumei-san," Miyano sniffles into the phone. Every alarm in Sasaki's mind is going off, every bone in his body activating emergency mode as he forgets about his plans and swings his bag over his shoulder. Miyano sniffles again, "It's over."
Sasaki's heart drops but he doesn't dare draw any conclusions. He swallows thickly and tentatively asks, "What is, Mya-chan?"
He listens with panic steadily rising. He continues to repeat calming mantras in his head, hoping that things aren't going in the direction he fears. Sasaki's friends watch his mortified face with concern, gauging if they need to comfort him.
"Yuri on Ice!" Miyano exclaims through a sob. Sasaki's heart skips a beat. Miyano, unknowing of the momentary panic he had caused, continues, "Mappa announced that they canceled 'Ice Adolescence'! This, after eight years of waiting… I'm going to die."
It took half a minute before Sasaki remembered how to breathe properly again. When he did, he couldn't help the relieved sigh he let out, much to his friends' relief. He then sighed into the phone, trying his best to not make Miyano think he found amusement in his predicament.
"Do you want me to come over?" Sasaki asked, earning a high-pitched gasp from one of his classmates who in turn shook Ugawa's shoulders. Ignoring his friends, he proposed, "We can rewatch the series if that would make you feel better."
"Please," Miyano sniffed again, "That would help a lot, actually. But ugh, this is so frustrating! Why, Mappa, why? This was just the representation we needed and then… it's so dumb!"
"I know," Sasaki agreed, "I'll be there soon."
Ugawa gawked, "But what about-"
He was promptly tackled by their friends. The girl with the short, brown bob hissed at him, "He's going to comfort his girlfriend! Don't you dare interrupt!"
Ugawa didn't interrupt after that.
The night was spent with many angry rants from Miyano, a full-season binge, and lots of snuggling.
