He looks at her bathing in sunlight, her eyes focused on some far-off thing in the distance that only she can see, disheveled and distracted and not quite aware of his presence. For a moment he stands on the edge of her blanket and holds his breath, afraid that he may startle her - or wake her, perhaps - from her reverie. For that moment they are frozen in time, watching and waiting, and then a book slips from his hands and falls to the grass.
"Narumi-san is clumsy."
Her head doesn't turn; he is suddenly aware that she knew he was there the entire time. He bends to collect his book and grumbles a little as he does so, not wanting to give away the fact that he is quite flustered. She yawns and stretches her arms before folding them beneath her head again, her lean figure stretched out on her small picnic blanket, bare feet resting atop what he assumes is a basket of food. "Narumi-san is late, too," she adds, crossing her feet at the ankles. "It's usually me who's late, isn't it?"
He mumbles something in agreement and sits down in the grass. He is regretting this immediately - this brilliant idea of hers, to make them a lunch and have a little picnic in the park. He is regretting agreeing to it because he knows that it is another opportunity for her to make him look like a fool, something she's become startlingly good at in the last few weeks. He scowls and goes on regretting, this time thinking of the last time he found her sitting alone under a tree like this -
She laughs suddenly and turns her head. "I was looking at the clouds. I thought I saw one that looked like a dinosaur."
"A dinosaur? Your imagination is too vivid for your own good."
"No, really! I don't remember the name of it, but - here - " She grabs his arm without warning and points with his hand to a large, bumpy cloud. "There's the two little horns, and the collar-thing, and the spikes... oh, and the tail back there..."
"Ah."
"Do you see it?"
"Not really." His mouth twitches as her face falls. "But what you're referring to is a stegosaurus."
"Oh! I think that's right... see, Narumi-san knows just about everything." She drops his arm and pushes herself up to sit beside him, her hair falling in sunlit waves around her shoulders. "Should we eat now?"
"Ah..."
"Well then." She smiles and reaches for the basket. "Let's begin!"
