บท 64: A Sense Of Urgency

"Gotcha!" I grunted, pouncing on Orion as he chuckled and held me steady.

"Yeah, yeah~ You got me~" Orion grins as he replies in a jovial singsong tone.

"N-now give me my bag!" I panted while catching my breath as I swiped aimlessly from fatigue, totally missing and collapsing against his chest.

"Alright, alright. Here, and while you're at it, take slow and deep breaths." Orion slips my bag's strap onto my palm while rubbing circles against my back.

I met his gaze and pursed my lips as he grins with an innocent look before taking my hand in his. I hadn't noticed where we were since I was only focused on pursuing after his back, hence, I let him lead the way while surveying the surroundings.

"The subway?" I raised an eyebrow, shifting my gaze back in his direction as he pulled me towards an array of lockers.
