"Momo's not gonna like this..."
"Whaddya mean?"
He glanced at his returned test and huffed at the red markings on the top left corner. "This." He flipped the page over to display to Hinata, who sucked the cold air through his teeth. The shorter boy nodded, agreeing with Tobio as he rolled his eyes and groaned with his head back.
"Well, it could always be worse, right?" Hinata reached with his pitch. He only earned a glare from his friend. "Yeah, yeah you're right. Sucks to be you I guess."
Tobio scoffed before grabbing the redhead and aggressively pushing him to the side, shoving the door of the classroom open and storming out.
He found them waiting for him outside on her phone, scrolling through an updated chapter she got excited about earlier. Their leg was bouncing as she laid against the wall with their fingers fiddling with her lips. He took a deep breath, his shoulders rising and falling dramatically before he took another step.
When she looked up, she smiled. The same smile she always offered him—content. It grew on him, he would smile too.
"Hey, how'd you do?" They asked, their voice recharging his very, very, very low battery.
"Uh...not well. I'm sorry." He closed his eyes before he could look at her reaction: empathy and understanding. He knew she knew what it was like to fail something, they knew exactly how he felt at that exact moment.
"Do you wanna study together?" They piped. "Maybe it'll help both of us, you know?"
He didn't hate the proposition, but he was nervous. What if she sees how stupid he really is? What if she thinks he's dumb? He only realized they could see the worry on his face when they put a hand on his shoulder and stroked her thumb across the fabric.
"It's to help the both of us, remember? Don't worry, I suck at a lot more than you'd think."
He finally nodded, glancing at the smile that grew upon her lips afterward.
"Awesome! Let's go to yours, yeah?"
"Yeah," he answered, sliding his rough fingers up her wrist to their fingertips on his shoulder, grabbing them and placing them beside him, weaving his fingers with theirs. "Let's go."
