Expectations

This is it, you wrote the post. You took a lot of time thinking about it and the shower you took earlier might've helped as well. You hope this will be enough, a concise and precise sentence that shouldn't leave anything up to interpretation:

[Michael Shaw, John's best friend woke up from a 2-year long coma and will transfer to our school next week.]

However, you feel selfish, you could make it so that he was moving here instead of waking up from a coma but you have no idea of the possible effects on your past. You felt like this wording, as cowardly as it is, should be the most responsible one. You won't let chance decide what happens, you're in charge.

You expect this change to be good, for once you're actually doing something for someone else.

"John, are you busy?" You look up and see Kana waiting at the door, you quickly send the post on the forum and turn off your phone.

"No, come in!" She sits down on your bed next to you, she leans down against and you start chatting.

"What did you do today?"

"I... visited a friend, and you?" You send the question back. She starts telling you about her mostly uneventful day.

"Oh, I also wrote another song... Do you want to hear it?" She sounds excited and you can't refuse.

"Sure, bring your guitar." She leaves, letting her spot on the bed cool down, and after a minute or two, she back, guitar in hand.

She starts playing her new beautiful melody and after a while, she starts singing. She's quiet and her voice isn't loud enough for you to hear everything, but as she starts enjoying herself more, the pace speeds up, and her voice gets louder and more confident. You're now sure that she was restraining herself last time, and as you listen quietly something starts bothering you.

You swear you've heard her voice before... but she never sang for you so where? As you wonder why her singing voice sounds so particular, she finally finishes the song. She waits for your compliments and you serve her.

"That was great! You're so good at this! I'm impressed..." She smiles proudly and you continue.

"Hum... I'm sure I heard your voice somewhere before..." She starts getting embarrassed and struggles to answer.

"I... have a youtube channel..." She says.

"Oh, that's why! I must have watched it once before... Send me a link!" She mumbles for a while.

"I-I'll send it to you later... ANYWAY!" She tries to get her confidence back.

"Y-yeah?"

"A-about this morning? When are we gonna fuck?" She startles you. You don't know how to respond. Don't you want this? You added her to your harem after all. But that doesn't stop you from being very anxious. Furthermore, with Michael possibly coming back you're not in the mood.

"Yeah, can we do that some other day? I can put a movie on if you want." She seems a little disappointed but also relieved for some reason. You open netflix on your computer, quickly choose a movie and cuddle under the blanket while warming each other up.

It's comfy and you really needed a mental break from real life, you feel tired and it doesn't take you long to fall asleep.
