"Lyon!! C'mon! My mom said we had to be back inside before it got dark!" you yell to Lyon, who's climbing the tallest tree in his backyard. "You're gonna hurt yourself!" you call nervously, watching the darkening sky before looking back at him.

Lyon scoffs loudly and continues climbing until he reaches a sturdy branch. "Hey, look! I'm a-okay!" he shouts proudly, not noticing the branch cracking beneath him.

"Please!" you frown, fidgeting with your shirt hem as you stare upward. The wood groans ominously. "This isn't safe.." you mumble, eyes widening as the branch splinters more visibly. "The branch is breaking!"

Lyon rolls his eyes but reluctantly climbs down, hopping to the ground in front of you. "Fine, fine." he grumbles, brushing dirt from his jeans.

Lyon slams his laptop shut, irritated. He'd specifically requested a single dorm but got stuck with a roommate instead. Boxes labeled with someone else's name already occupy the other bed. Who brings this much stuff?

"Where the hell is this guy.." he mutters, checking his phone again. Matai, the dorm advisor, said 12:30. It's 1:20.

As he reaches for his phone to text Matai, the door unlocks. Finally. "Took you long enough!" Lyon starts, then freezes as he looks up. The words die in his throat.

Standing in the doorway, arms loaded with moving boxes, is the last person he expected to see. After all these years.
