“Do you think I can go to a regular university once I start college?” Tatsuya asked as he munched on his french toast.
Tatsuya has always wanted to go to school like normal people do but he knows it’s not practical. When you’re moving every year, it’s easier to get tutors than transfer schools with all the paper works. Going to college is a different thing and he’s determined to be a regular university student.
Aoki looked up from his morning paper. “You’re going to Keio University,” Aoki replied.
Tatsuya looked up, puzzled. “But I’m qualified to go to Tokyo University.”
“I know but Keio is still among the top schools. That decision is final,” he said with finality.
He sighed knowing there’s no use arguing. He’s lucky enough that he’s finally allowed to go to a regular school. It doesn’t really matter what school because he knows he’ll excel anyways.
“Fine but it’s either I live in the dorms or we’ll stay here. I’m tired of moving every year,” he said finally voicing his thoughts.
“I understand but I’d rather we stay here than you live in the dorm.”
“Fine. I’m going out to jog,” he said finishing his breakfast.
“Bring your phone with you,” Aoki reminded as Tatsuya was walking out the door.
He held up his phone for Aoki to see before pulling the door close.
He was listening to music as he jogged with Earo at his heel. He was nearing the park when he noticed that someone was jogging beside him. He stopped when the person waved his hand as a greeting.
“Aren’t you…,” he started.
“Iriguchi, Deguchi, Taguchi desu,” he finished off with that big smile on his face.
Tatsuya looked at him incredulously before laughing out loud. “You’re weird!” he said when his fit subsided. Taguchi only looked at him. “I mean, you say the most unexpected things. Yeah, I forgot to introduce myself the last time. Ueda Tatsuya desu,” he said offering his hand.
Taguchi took his hand eagerly. Time seems to stop after that. They don’t know how long they were standing by the sidewalk hands clasped together, looking into each other’s eyes. Both of them jumped when Earo barked. They looked at Earo who pulled at Tatsuya’s pants. That’s when they realized they were still holding each other’s hands and let go abruptly. Earo, in turn, jumped on Tatsuya and licked his face.
“What are you jealous about?” Tatsuya said while laughing at his dog. Earo, getting his master’s attention back, pulled on the leash.
“Hai! Hai! We’re jogging.”
The two jogged in silence towards the park. They made a few rounds around the park before sitting on a nearby bench. Tatsuya was about to ask Taguchi something when a car parked near them.
“Oh, that’s my ride. I’m visiting the university I’m going to. I hope I can see you again soon,” Taguchi said. He bowed and ran towards the car.
Feeling a bit disappointed, Tatsuya trudged back home. As he neared the house, he noticed a box just outside the gate. He picked it up when he was by the gate and was surprised as to whom the box was addressed to. It was addressed to him.

A/N: That was the continuation from my previous drabble. Sorry it took a while. RL has been quite hectic.
What do you think is inside the box? Why was it addressed to Tatsuya?
Let me know what you think.
