New chapter coming Saturday! We finally see happened after that (mean) cliffhanger I left the last chapter on!
I don't have much else to say besides I'm sorry for leaving last chapter on a cliffhanger 😭 on top of it coming out with chapter 261 last week. The cliffhanger part was intentional and I wanted it to happen, but to top that with what had happened in the JJK manga was a lot lmaoo
Anyways, enjoy this sneak peek :D

Sneak peek for Chapter 19 (spoiler warning): You're the One Thing I Can't Stand to Lose
Satoru was late. He should’ve been there a couple of minutes ago.
It wasn’t necessarily the biggest deal, Satoru wasn’t always the best with time to begin with, so maybe he just got distracted once they got off the phone.
Yes, that had to be what it was.
Satoru was fine. He was almost there. Suguru would hear the buzzer any second.
Any second spanned several minutes, with nothing to satiate the growing pit in Suguru’s stomach. It tore through his gut, making him feel hollow.
Should he call Satoru? What if he was trapped somewhere? But if he was, why hadn’t he called? Maybe he didn’t have service?
Suguru debated it more, but figured he probably shouldn't call. If Satoru was still driving, he should focus on getting off the roads safely, whether that was to Suguru’s apartment, or back to his own house, or even holding himself up in a building with other refugees of the storm.
Yet, the pit in his stomach still nagged at him. Suguru settled on just calling Shoko, to check in with her and see if she knew anything.
Satoru was fine. He had to be fine.
The call seemed to ring forever before Shoko picked up.
“Aren’t you supposed to be having a little date with the birthday boy?” She said, half teasingly, half curious.
Suguru felt his heart drop though, his throat closing. “So you haven’t heard from him?” His voice was choked out weakly.
“No?” Shoko said, “Isn’t he with you?”
“No.” Suguru’s hand shot to his mouth as his body started to shake. This wasn’t happening, it couldn’t be. Satoru would show up any second, laughing about how long he took, and giving Suguru a hug for how much he was scaring the life out of him.
Suguru was just overreacting. Satoru was fine. He said he would be.
