Aye:
Are you two going back to class today?

Rain:
Yeah.
The longer we wait, the worse it's going to be.
Like, anxiety wise and shit.

Aye:
Yeahh.
Let us know if you need anything, okay?

Rain:
We will.

Akk:
Good luck.

Aye:
^^

Rain:
Thanks.
God knows we need it.

"You ready?" Sky whispers softly, Rain staring ahead of them at the university building, squeezing Sky's hand tightly

"No" He admits, Sky smiling sadly as he gently turns Rain's head to face him

"We've got this. Me and you. Okay?" He whispers, Rain taking a deep breath as he nods

"Yeah, me and you" He whispers back, Sky pressing a gentle kiss to his forehead, before taking his own deep breath as they both get out of the car, barely having time to prepare for Sig and Por running over to them, before they're both being pulled into a hug

"Oh my god, we were so worried! Are you okay? I mean, of course you aren't, but-" Por starts to ramble, before cutting off as Sky covers his mouth

"We're good. We're sorry that we worried you" Sky says, only removing his hand when he was sure that Por was calmer

"Don't be. Some really messed up shit happened. I don't blame you for disappearing" Sig says, he and Por standing either side of the two as the group start to walk into the university, people's eyes following their every step, some of them whispering to the people around them

"Ignore them" Sky whispers as Rain tenses up. "They don't matter"

"Right...they don't matter" Rain whispers back, taking another deep breath as they get to where Ple and Som were sitting on the steps, Ple immediately shooting up and pulling the two into a hug

"Oh, I am so glad to see you!" She whispers to them, pulling back to check them over, as if searching for injuries, frowning a little at the peek of the bandages adorning Rain's skin, before quickly wiping the expression away

"We're glad to see you too" Sky says with a smile, following Ple and Som inside, the older male falling into step beside him as Sig moves over to Ple

"Phayu texted me. Said that someone in the union spread the... things?" He whispers, Sky humming softly as he nods

"We think so, yeah. We think they're working with Bas, because he got someone on the union to give him my number before, when Rain wasn't responding" He whispers back, Som nodding slightly

"I'll figure out who it is and deal with it, I promise" He says, Sky sending him a small, appreciative smile, Som splitting off from the group as they head to their first class

Sky carefully grabs hold of Rain's hand under the table as people around the room continue to whisper about them, squeezing gently to keep Rain's focus on him, Sig and Por quickly talking over the whispers to help further distract them, before the room goes silent as the teacher enters

Rain can't focus during the entire class, or the ones following, something that they had all expected to happen, Sky already planning on sharing his notes with the other male when they got home

"How are you feeling?" Sky whispers as they walk with their friends to the student union room for lunch, Rain taking a deep breath as he stealthily looks around them, the halls relatively empty at the moment, but the students that are lingering staring at them and whispering to each other
