"Experimenting?" Takuro cocked his head. "That could be fun. Here..." he tugged off his bag again and pulled out a scrap of paper. He scrawled down a series of digits before handing it over to Akito. "This is my mobile number. I'd prefer it if you'd use this instead of using the school network to talk to me. I-if you wanted to talk to me, I mean, for whatever reason-"

He was self-conscious again.

"Although you could just talk to me after class, I guess. Never mind..." Cheeks burning, he crumpled the paper but dropped it into Akito's hand anyway. "I'll see you later, Terumi-kun."
