laughter over the phone isn't quite completely contagious, but it's been a while since he's heard that particular inflection of a laugh, and he knows how exactly this will go. nazuna will laugh, his laughter bright even through the phone's speakers, giggling until he snorts and--
he would be lying, if he said that he'd forgotten what it sounded like, but the sound of nazuna's laughter causes his lips to twitch upwards into a smile. it's small, but it's there. ]
Mm. [ there's a pause, there, almost as if he's contemplating something to say in return
but he's interrupted but nazuna's knock on his door
(he's fairly certain that nazuna can hear it too, picked up by his phone's speakers)
and that's when he finally cuts the call
because why speak over the phone when they're finally here, face to face? he leaves his phone on the table when he answers the door, finally, and for the first time in a while, shu looks at nazuna.
(it's been three years, but nazuna's smile still takes his breath away)
he knows that he's a little thinner now, his eyes are a little more sunken and he's subconsciously leaning his weight a little more on his right instead of standing up completely straight, but nazuna looks happy, as bright as the sun even in the dark of night and still as good as the day shu last saw him--
i missed you, he doesn't say. what he says instead: ] Are you alright?
[ a pause, and shu gestures for nazuna to enter, steps aside to let him in before closing the door behind him. it's not much (but really, that's the lie, it's actually a decent apartment for someone who's living alone). ] You can go sit down, if you like.
