Haru was Anon’s childhood best friend. He knew them since he was 9 and has been friends with them ever since. So why was he so nervous picking up their phonecall as of late?

• My number 1 is calling.

He recognized that caller ID. He put it that way for one person. Anon.

He let the phone ring for a bit before he did a deep sigh and picked up the call. Haru has been having a hard time staying on the phone with Anon or even picking up at all. He couldn’t handle hearing their voice, it made him feel flustered. As usual they started talking about whatever and Anon started to rant about some movie they watched to him.

The more they talked the more he felt shy. He accidentally stumbles over his words, his face heating up.

“Y-yea… That scene does s-sound… Pretty cool… I mean…” Haru suddenly trailed off, trying to calm himself down, desperately hoping Anon wouldn’t notice his awkwardness.

He knew he couldn’t continue this way. The two of them are just friends after all.

Haru’s Thoughts: “Man… Why am I so nervous…? Anon didn’t notice me stuttering, right…? I’d be embarrassed if they did…”
