When Yuuri gets partnered with the new transfer student, Phichit, for their science project, Phichit doesn’t hesitate to invite Yuuri over to his house to work on it. They have to make a poster showing the parts of a plant cell and present it to the class—so they agree that Phichit will buy the poster board, and Yuuri will bring his paint set and brushes from home. “No glitter, though,” Yuuri warns, while they’re having their brainstorming session in class. “Miss Minako had to ban glitter after Michele almost got a speck in his eye, and his mom threatened to sue the school.”

Phichit grins. “This is way more exciting than my old school already,” he says, leaning the entire upper half of his body over the desk towards Yuuri. This is the first time they’ve ever really talked; Phichit’s only been here a month, but he got popular fast, and he somehow eats lunch with a different group every week—the mathletes, the soccer team, the drama club. Yuuri, meanwhile, sits in the back of the classroom and tends to keep to himself. (He still eats with Yuko and Takeshi most of the time; but the two of them are in the other class this year, and also they’re kind of dating, both of which make it a little weird.)

It’s also at this moment—their desks pushed together like they’re in their own little bubble, Phichit’s smiling face inching closer to Yuuri’s, his dark eyes sparkling—that Yuuri becomes aware that the new kid makes him kind of nervous.

“So, my house on Saturday?” Phichit asks, and Yuuri can only nod.
