I wonder if we could all still do this even when we're busy with college. 

"You okay?" Satsuki asked.

What the fuck?

She was up front a few minutes ago.

"When did you get here?"

"Right after I finished hugging Tetsu. You were pretty deep in thought, not in a bad way so I just watched you for a bit."

"That's creepy."

"No it's not!"

She looked a bit annoyed now.

"Sorry," I said. I didn't want her directing her anger at my future training regime. That would mean little to no free time.

Satsuki didn't say anything. 

"You're mad that I called you creepy so in case you didn't hear, I'm sorry," I said again.

She pouted this time.

Well there goes my free time.

"Ah fuck. That was very creepy though."

"Weren't you apologizing just a few seconds ago?!"

"Yeah but you didn't say anything."

"So you're taking it back?"

"Just take it like I never apologized in the first place."

"You're such a dick sometimes!"

"How was this a dick move?"

"I don't know it just was!"

Satsuki wrapped her arms around my arm. "I thought you were mad," I said.

"I'm not. It was just weird of you to say sorry without me having to force it out of you. Twice at that. I liked that."

"Yeah well it's never happening again."

"I know that but you know.....I'm really happy for you," she said with a smile on your face. 

She looked genuinely happy as she said this. She had one of those smiles that you could actually call sweet and it sometimes just made you want to stare at her.

If Shinra saw her now he'd fall for her all over again.

"You haven't said that to me before," I said.

"I know. It's always good job, you can do it but I guess I never said I was happy for you because there wasn't anything to be happy for."

"Now there is?" I asked.

She looked at me and smiled. "Don't you think there is?"

I looked at our friends in front of us as they were just talking and laughing. 

This made me smile.

"On the last day of camp, we're all going to have a talk," Satsuki said. She wasn't smiling anymore, if anything she looked nervous now.

"You guys do you. Why are you telling me?"

"We were going to talk to Tsumu and Kawa's friends. Pretty much all who play volleyball."

"Okaaaayyy........."

"With Sakusa and Tsumu in the same room."

I stopped moving and so did Satsuki. "Does Tsumu know - well that's dumb. He's in the hospital and I don't know if you've spoken with Osamu but he would have refused if you did. So when are you planning on telling him?"

 "When he gets back."

"Okay," I replied and continued walking.

"Okay? Just okay?" Satsuki started to catch up to me.
