“do you know that you can know a tree's age just by counting the rings inside them? isn't that so cool!?”

“and you called me at ..”,

rin trails off as he looks at the time, “... 2 am just to say that?”, he says, voice muffled as he buries his face into the pillow.

“oh? it's only 12 am here though. timezones really suck, huh.. ”

“uh huh. so, was that the only reason you called me?”

“uhh, well .. oh!”

“hm?”

“when you get home, maybe we can go on a hike trail and find tree stumps and count their rings... ” you say hesitantly,

“you mean that hiking trail you kept talking about 3 months ago?”

you hum in response, feeling soft about him remembering something you talked about so long ago. “yeah, that.”

he smiles behind the phone, he also wanted to go there with you ever since you mentioned it one random night. he searched for pictures of the trail and was mesmerized by some of the views, too bad he couldn't go there with you because of his hectic schedule.

“sure, i'd love that.”

“yay!”, you giggle from the other line, “i'll order us some hiking outfits now so that when you get back we're ready! gasp what if i get a matching set? wouldn't that be so cute?!”

you ramble your ideas like a child excited for his gift from santa at christmas, it makes rin's heart full of joy because it reminds him of when he was still a child, when life was all sunshine and rainbows.

“don't go overboard and spend too much again.”

“mhm, i won't!”

he highly doubts that.

silence occurs, and the only thing you two hear are the soft shuffling of sheets, occasional faint beeping of cars, and the soft exhales of the other person.

“.. hey, rin.”, you break the silence.

he hums in response, trying to keep his eyes open.

“i miss you, a lot.”, you whisper, holding the phone closer to your face.

he opens his eyes and stares at your phone id before he replies,“... i miss you too.”

“promise me that we'll go on that hiking date, okay?”

he chuckles, “yes, i promise.”

silence again.

“hey, rinnie.”

he huffs, “what?”

“i love you ..”

...

“i love you too.”
