"[n/n]!"
Kalim's cheery voice reverberated around [m/n]'s ears. Unconsciously, a smile bloomed on his face as he watched seven students walk towards him.
'Will this be okay?'
[m/n] had to think that what he's going on right now will be tough for him, even if he's already adult-minded.
Kalim didn't notice [m/n]'s hesitation but some keen eyes did, however they kept quiet. [m/n] went to accept Kalim's big hug and looked at the others, "Hey."
"What's up with you?" Leona yawned. "Let's go sit down, I'm tired" he urged everyone else.
"I'll go ahead and get our food," Riddle said and Vil went to tag along.
[m/n] couldn't help but wonder if they were this harmonious before. He distinctly remembered that each prefect preferred to keep their own privacy within their dorms but today. . . he can't seem to feel that it was different.
.

[m/n] wandered around the halls of his supposed home. He thought that when he grew up he'd still be living off in the castle but this was better than he expected.
Speaking of his old home, he couldn't help but be curious what happened to his family, yet before he could even act, he stumbled upon a locked door.
The guys never told [m/n] about this door, and [m/n] wouldn't have known if he never stumbled upon it.
Seeing that it was locked, [m/n] squinted his eyes and tried to test out his magic powers. He gradually made a replica key of the door and gently unlocked it. The door opened and soon [m/n] was met with. . .
"Is this. . . a nursery?" [m/n]'s eyes widened in shock.
It was clearly a nursery for a baby. There was a crib placed near the big window and countless toys placed from all corners of the room. However, there was no child.
"Whose room is this?"
[m/n] walked inside and went towards the crib. He gently touched the edge and felt a tingling sensation, feeling some complex emotion well up inside. It was probably the body reacting, but the soul could not.
However, after a few minutes of hanging around the room, [m/n] reluctantly left and locked the room back, opting to go back to his room to rest.

"He really is acting weird," This time, even Yuu can't help but comment about [m/n]'s behavior.
He wanted to try to have a chance to talk with his senpai yet he'd always disappear. Many times he felt that [m/n] was intentionally avoiding everyone, even the other prefects.
"Eh. We can't really do nothin' 'bout it now." Grim shrugged and munched on his tuna.
"Still," Yuu looked at the school cafeteria and hummed. He added, "Maybe he's doing something we don't know about."
Contrary to Yuu's thoughts, [m/n] was merely biding his time here. As much as he wanted to dote on the prefects, he can't help but feel awkward.
'These boys. . . Younger me was too blind to not see their pinnings.'
That's right, the old and experienced [m/n] saw right through these boys' actions from little acts of hugs to massive verbal flirtation. [m/n] wondered how did he even survive all this, was it because he was too de-attached back then? Eh.
So when [m/n] had the time to himself, he quietly went to the school garden and tried to just have some peace. Crowley said that he was almost finished and [m/n] could go back soon.
"[m/n]."
[m/n] opened his eyes to see someone sitting next to him. He chuckled and let his body gradually relax and lean to the boy's shoulder. There was a sigh and soon the place was silent.
". . .Are you okay?"
"Hm?"
[m/n] was close to sleep and wasn't really in a clear mind. Yet he did manage to question something that caught the boy off guard.
"What do you think is a good name for a child?"
"Why ask me this?" The boy chuckled but then pushed a few strands away from [m/n]'s head.
"I guess. . . If it's a girl, call them Snow, and if boy then Winter."
"Pfft." [m/n]'s shoulder shook. "Did you really have to name them with the names corresponding to winter? Hahaha!"
How cute, [m/n] was clearly amused at how much care this person had for him that he can't help but smile.
And so, he did something that was out of character.
"?? [m/n]–" The boy felt his vision darken. His eyes were blocked by [m/n]'s cold palms, and soon he felt a warm sensation touching his lips.
The boy was too stunned to react and could only continue when [m/n] went back to sleep. He thought that what happened just now might've been an imagination, yet the feeling was so real.
After a few more hours of awkward chaos in his mind, the boy felt [m/n] stir awake.
"Awake now?"
"Ah?" [m/n] blinked clearly and found himself back in the garden of NRC. "I'm back?"
"What are you talking about?" The boy chuckled and pulled [m/n] up. "Let's go, class is about to start."
[m/n] felt weird. Clearly he went to the future, met the old version of his friends, then he slept and soon he woke up back here. Was that. . . maybe just a dream?
For now, [m/n] put it all aside and wondered why his lips felt tingly.
.
.
.
"I'm home."
[m/n] woke up from the bed and found himself back in his room. He figured that he went back to the future without Crowley's help and shrugged.
He clearly heard his voice and went to welcome him back with a kiss. "Hey, you know, I just had some interesting encounters."
"Oh? Do tell."
"Later," [m/n] waved his hand and went to the kitchen. "Ah, by the way, how's things going on back at your place? Are they doing okay?"
"Yeah." the male chuckled and took off his coat. "Winter and Snow are developing well, even though we created them out of magic, I can't help but worry about their future constitution."
"That's alright, I'm sure your friends are taking care of them well."
[m/n]'s heart was warm at the mention of the kids. "Winter and Snow." He can't help but remember how he had asked the younger version of his husband about what names would've been perfect for his kids.
He can't help but laugh, even when they were young, this man had already thought way ahead in the future.
