❀ Caleb is so busy with missions that he can’t visit you every month anymore. Sensing your anxiety about the exams, he skips introducing you to his friends, and instead you go watch the planes together from a viewpoint.
❀ Caleb says you can always try again next year— or the year after that. No matter what—he’s already proud of you.

❀ The colleague who picks you up writes your name in huge letters—on Caleb’s orders.
❀ Caleb introduces you to his colleagues as his childhood friend (aka meimei hehe)
❀ Caleb promises his colleague to treat both him and you to a celebratory dinner if you pass your Hunter exam.
❀ Caleb’s favorite aircraft is the T-93. Only veteran pilots are allowed to fly it.
❀ The first time Caleb takes you to see airplanes is in spring, mid-March. It’s raining, and you’re grumpy. His memory is excellent.
❀ Caleb uses his Evol on you to pull you into a hug *screams internally*
❀ His hands are calloused from gripping a yoke.

Caleb’s wearing his pilot fit aka “Supersonic”; Fighter jets move so fast that no one can make out the pilot’s face.

❀ Caleb attended SummerSpace Camp during the summer in high school. It lasted a month, and Grandma recorded your reunion.
❀ You and Caleb watched planes together from the riverbank as children; an L380 passed overhead once.

❀ Caleb doesn’t seem to mind the idea of you flunking your exams. He promises he’ll help you no matter the outcome. You joke that you’ll just have to do more chores— he replies that you can forget every kind of payment except the massages you offered. Sneaky. Let’s just say Fiery Embrace immediately comes to mind. Note to self. Lmao.
❀ Imo, the L380 is likely a fictional counterpart to the A380, the largest passenger airliner, suggesting a huge ass plane rather than a routine flight. Caleb knows his planes mhm
❀ Later, Caleb asks (almost deadpan): “What if I don’t want to be your childhood friend anymore?” You actually stop to think about it and you agree to be seagulls in the next life.
Caleb leans in and whispers, “Little seagull in the next life, promise me you won’t disappear again.”
Again…? Oh gosh.
Are we talking a prior loss you don’t remember? a bond that outlives roles (childhood friend, gege, labels in general)? fear of abandonment dressed up as a whisper? All of them??? And yet he’s the one who explodes? I need to touch grass
basically for a start i was out with my friends earlier and out of nowhere my mum sent me a really ominous message with my full name at the start saying "come home.", so i instantly panicked knowing she's just found something that i was meant to take to my grave so i run home and when i get back shes in my room (heart was going 100mph at this point), and she was stood near a drawer that i have a lock for but for some reason it was open so i just accept my fate at this point. (i have the most absurd shit in this drawer btw like about 50 pages of incest fics, tons of Polaroids / printed out photos of screenshot from chats and me and my secret bf all that) and she's just stood there like she's about to skin me alive and my brother is just stood behind her like a lost dog looking at me like he's just accepted his fate as well 💔💔 so i tried acting stupid and asking whats wrong and she said with the upmost bass in her voice "you know what you've done hunter." so im genuinely on the verge of pissing myself and start tearing up and just start apologising for everything and she just shook her head and left so im stood there with my brother looking like he just watched our whole family get murdered. and then our mum comes back and yells at me for a few minutes calling me every swear ever and a f@g and then left for a few hours so me and my brother just cried a bit and lowk made out while she was gone to piss her off (not like she'll ever know) and when she came back she just gave us both silent treatment and locked us in my bedroom (funny she trusted us) and she's still mad but hasn't killed me yet so i think that's a start
and also my friends house got broken into while her parents were gone 2026 is not our year
fml
holy shit
that's terrifying and I would have peed myself but also love that she left you two alone together like nice job preventing the incest
