Chiaki's school day
Chiaki woke up in the morning. He was greeted by his mother and started heading to school. He had everything planned out today! He was going to meet his unit members and practice in the morning, and then he would take his regular classes and at lunch time, he would contact Tsukasa to ask him when they should meet ag-
*BEEP*
"WOAH!"
Chiaki wasn't paying attention on the road, well, he was paying attention to the traffic light, but not the cars next to him.
"HEY! WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING! YOU ALMOST MADE ME KILL SOMEONE!"
The driver screamed at Chiaki's face, then drove off as fast as possible. He probably didn't want to take any responsibilities.
Well... that wasn't the best morning. Chiaki stood up, realizing that he might have sprained his ankle. Well shit, that was a problem. This way, he couldn't practice as much! There's no way his unit member will let him. And if he goes to the infirmary it will stand out even more! Chiaki thinks, and decides that he should probably go to the infirmary at lunch time, he at least can't miss morning practice for such a stupid mistake! Oh and talking about stupid mistakes, he needs to go get his wallet as well! Gosh, how bad could he-
"Good [ morning ], Chiaki~"
"Oh, uhm, Kanata! You startled me there! You're early today!"
"Yup, I wanted to go [ swimming ] early today~
Chiaki met Kanata and started walking together, and the first thing on his mind was
You can't let him know.
Kanata was a smart guy, and he would definitely know if Chiaki started acting weird. If he knew, he can't join morning practice, but he can't miss that!
"Uhm Kanata, I need to visit my classroom! Can you go wait for me in the practice room?"
"Hmm... Alright Chiaki~ See your there~"
Phew, he didn't realize. Right? Well, he can't just worry about it now. He should visit his classroom and probably treat his ankle, at the very minimum as possible. He would hate to miss any practices, but he would hate it more if he has a bad ankle for a long time.
He arrives at his classroom, and feels relieved that nobody's there yet.

"GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!!"
Chiaki opens the door to the practice room, seeing his unit members as expected. But, there faces were... weird? A look of... ...concern...?
"Uh- W-Well! Let's get along with our morning practice, shall we?"
"Taichou... ar-are you alright?"
......
"What do you mean Nagumo? I'm perfectly fine! Why do you ask?"
Chiaki started sweating. They don't know, right?
"Uhm... we heard from Shinkai-senpai, and... your ankle... it's, bleeding..."
Shit.
shitshitshitshitshitshitshit
They know. They know. Of course they know- I mean, why wouldn't they? It's just dumb little Chiaki trying to cover his STUPID mistakes!
"Oh- about that, uh, it's just a little bruise! It's not a big deal, I'm totally-"
"Taichou-!"
...
'Ah, they're worried. I made them worry for such a insignificant thing.'

That morning, Chiaki had to just watch. And he couldn't even watch much because his unit members insisted on going to the infirmary before school hours. Well, that morning absolutely sucked! He literally made his precious unit members worry over HIM. And he even skipped practice! He probably can't join practice until, I don't know, THREE DAYS?! Ugh... at least he still has a call with Tsukasa left.
&
As soon as Chiaki knew, it was lunch time. He was planning to go to the infirmary now... but he already went, so he thinks he should probably wait a while and call Tsukasa, guessing he'd be having lunch right now as well. Or maybe he'll just text him. Yeah, that sounds better, let's do that.

[ TUE 12:52 ]
Chiaki : HEY! It's Chiaki from yesterday! This is your number right?? Wanted to ask when do you have time!
-
Chiaki sent the text expecting to get a response a bit later, but the next moment, a reply arrived.
-
[ TUE 12:53 ]
Tsukasa : HEY!! YEAH ITS ME! IM FREE THIS WEEKEND, IS THAT OKAY??
-
Wow, he was really energetic even when texting... Chiaki wishes he could be like that as well.
-
[ TUE 12:53 ]
Chiaki : Yup!! See you then!!

The rest of the week was... a bad week for Chiaki.
Firstly, he couldn't attend practice for the WHOLE WEEK. At least he stayed late and practiced on his own.
Next, he accidently dozed off in class! That was so embarrassing! A lot of students don't really pay attention to class, or even show up- but Chiaki was different! He needed those classes!
Lastly, he stupidly got caught practicing by his underclassmen, Isara Mao! He knew about his bruise, so Chiaki ended up worrying him as well! Gosh... at least he promised not to tell the rest of Ryuseitai about it.
&
As soon as he knew, it was already Saturday, the day he promised he would meet Tsukasa.
