#i like drawing them <:) hero is very difficult to draw though GFSFGKJ

[kiisaes]

pining (catholic school au)

misc info about them below:

they are not dating at this point in time, or even that close of friends

in the span of their HS years they shared a couple classes together, so they were aware of each other and were like. crushing on each other from afar teehehehehhe

mari was part of the student government and hero was part of the speech team, both were straight A students and popular/well-liked

they had like maybe 10 conversations total LOL. during this time hero was crushing Hard and mari was vaguely interested in him but due to their catholic upbringings, they couldn't really progress their friendship outside of classes (couldn't hang out alone outside of school, were technically a part of different social cliques, etc.)

he wanted to confess to her by graduation but chickened out, and thought he'd never see her again so he beat himself up about it the entire summer :')

but then they ended up in the same college!!! so that's when they became best of friends :)
