he’s waiting for her at the gates. The day couldn’t have went by slower. It doesn’t show it on his face at all besides the tint of redness to the tips of his ears. He’s nervous. Offering to let her visit him , follow him home , stay the night if it got too late ( it was a stupid suggestion , wasn’t it? ) His brother would say it was a foolish mistake. His hands are placed neatly in front of him , his thumb rubbing circles on his pointer finger , an attempt to self sooth.
It was quite the walk , he wonders if she would be okay. He woke up extremely early to make it to school every day. He was used to getting up to do chores in the early morning to avoid getting scolded when he was living with his teacher. So he guesses he just never grew out of it. His focus shifts to whether or not he finished his homework , not that it mattered right now, his nerves were flying off the wall. But again , it doesn’t show on his face.
His eyes watch each student leave one by one , waiting for her.

an honour to be able to visit him home - however, a soft voice beckons, what if she messes up ? stream of thoughts rush through various scenarios ( unsure as to why the nervousness runs so deep )
and yet, mama's words arrive to her,
' 𝐭𝐨𝐡𝐫𝐮, 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 '
relief swells, weight dripping off her shoulders, right ! yes! she just needed to be herself! Oh ! and hadn’t souma-kun said something similar as well? courage arrives, sweet as 𝐇𝐎𝐍𝐄𝐘 to the soul. a ring of a bell gently tugs her from her thoughts - the relief of students can be felt through the halls, containing a lighthearted yet contagious feeling.
a small bag is carried with gentleness ; her feet begin to carry her towards the gates, she begins to wonder that perhaps she should have gotten more things for him when her heart jumps,
" ah - ! Videl-san! Hello ! "
she hurries towards him, nervousness fading slightly, her entire being cascades with 𝐉𝐎𝐘, " ah! I brought you this ---! t-thank you so much for allowing me to visit you today ! " tohru bows respectfully,
“ i - i’m so happy ! thank you ! “
