"you can put me down now."
"if you weren't so stubborn, i wouldn't have had to pick you up in the first place." you retorted with a scowl, glaring at the boy you were carrying over your shoulder.
in the time since your little rooftop confession (that wasn't really a confession, you reasoned), you had urged amane to sneak out of the school with you. he was unwilling to follow at first, but he couldn't really argue if you were forcing him to come along.
you paused in front of the school's gate, allowing the boy to wriggle out of your grasp as you stared down the metal bars.
"for how short you are... you're really heavy." you muttered, reaching out and running your hand over the cool metal.
"hey!"
"do you think we can climb this?" you wondered, ignoring his insulted yell of protest as you rattled the metal bars. "i think it's locked, i can't open it- goddamn it!"

"why not?" you huffed, placing your hands on your hips. "i can and will pick you up again. you know i will, hanako—!"
"it's amane kun. i keep telling you." the dark haired boy insisted. "why would i want to run away? we're... just now getting to the best part." he smiled, though it didn't reach his eyes. "besides, there's nothing good out there. the streets are dangerous at night... and with all the light pollution, you can't see the stars. let's go back and join everybody, misfortune. or..."
