Silence settled over them again after Akira left the classroom. Somebody needed to get that guy a map. Kozue fiddled with his phone for a little longer before nudging Yori. 

"Hey, it's after three. We should get going if we want to take the trail through the south part of town before it gets crowded." The two of them had biked home together almost every day since the start of middle school, and anyway Kozue needed to get home early if he wanted to have dinner before Kohaku and his teammates got there to eat it all. He was happy that his little brother had such a healthy social life, but baseball players after a practice were pretty much human garbage disposals.

Kozue stood and stretched, expecting Yori to follow him with a bit of grumbling like he usually did. "If you really wanna stay here late, we could always check out the rumors about the old school building." He teased.
