"Heheh... Who would ever think that I could wake up early if I wanted?"
Otoya grinned while running through the desert street, carrying carefully a pretty dark red box, trying his best to squeeze through the hole in the wall.
'She's already here!', he thought surprised to recognize the dark pink hair, wondering how earlier she must get up.
"Hey! Nanami-chan!", waved him, which made her turn and smile.
Haruka stood up to greet him and got surprised when she received a full glomp, which stunned her and made her cheeks red.
"How are you?", he asked her, but blinked when he saw that she didn't move, "Haruka?"
"What?", mouthed her, with a confused expression.
"Hum? Oh! Sorry for startling you", he said with an embarrassed laugh, "I was just a bit happier than the usual because my arm is fully recovered!"
He showed his arm, holding his hand high. Haruka blinked a few more times until she could finally process what he said, touching gently the palm of his hand, which made it twitch a bit, his cheeks suddenly pink.
It was kind of unconscious the way his hand closed, gently holding hers.
Both stared for a while, feeling the firm hold of the other, but when it started to hurt for being in the same position they let go, disappointed by the lack of warm.
"W-Well", he stuttered a bit, while she just held her hand close to her chest, looking away, both being a bit embarrassed.
"…"
Haruka felt her heart beating a bit fast, feeling too self conscious and embarrassed to look at the boy.
"I… Made this for you!", he suddenly said in a high pitched voice, which caught her attention when she saw him holding a pretty dark red box.
She looked puzzled, but took the box, opening it and widening her eyes when she saw that it was a neatly made lunchbox.
"I never saw you eating, that's why I had the idea to prepare something for you", he explained when she lifted her gaze to meet his, "Hehe, I am not an expert but I cook fairly well!"
She looked at him then back the lunchbox, choosing to sit in the bench, poking the food with curiosity, before eating a bit, her face brightening when she tasted the food, nodding to him in a way to show her appreciation.
"Hehe, I'm glad that you liked it", he grinned sitting close to her, when his stomach suddenly started to growl, which made him blush, "Ah! Stop doing that!"
She chuckled silently when his stomach grumbled again, which made him hold it like he was trying to stop the embarrassing noise. Haruka took her chopsticks and took a bit of the food, poking gently the corner of his mouth, before he looked at her with puzzled eyes.
"Let's share", she mouthed.
Otoya blinked a few times, unsure about what to say, until his stomach started to protest louder this time, so he let her fed him the piece of the food, munching it with a red face.
Haruka nodded with a satisfied face, taking a bit of the food and eating it herself, munching it slowly while the chopsticks rested in her lips.
He kind of stared her cute and small pink lips in a daze, thinking about how it looked soft to the touch.
He blinked and went back to the reality when he felt the corner of his owns lips being poked, opening his mouth automatically, feeling the taste and munching.
…Then realization hit him.
'OH GOD WE ARE EATING WITH THE SAME CHOPSTICKS!', he panicked mentally, his face as red as his hair.
Haruka looked worried when he saw how he stiffed. Putting the chopsticks aside she put her hand in his back with a bit of hesitation, trying to rub in circles.
"Ah!", he gasped when he felt the touch, staring her and seeing her worried face.
"Are you ok?", she mouthed.
"Y-Yes…", he stuttered flailing his arms, "I-It was just something that was in my throat heheh"
She looked for a while, before taking her chopsticks.
"I-I will take a nap", Otoya said with a hastily tone, "Can you wake me up when you finish?"
Haruka nodded puzzled, while he closed his eyes, his cheeks having a bit of pink.

Haruka put everything back in the box, cleaning her mouth with a napkin, and would poke her friend to wake up, but when she saw his peaceful face she didn't had the heart to.
She gave a tender look, gently touching his cheek, which made him stir, so she froze for a couple of seconds until he stopped, clearly asleep.
Haruka let a breath in relief, but got surprised when she heard a faint voice coming from him.
"Mayoi konda RABIRINSU…", she heard the faint singing, surprised to recognize it as the melody that she sang one day.
She felt lost, not knowing what to do. Checking first to see if he was really asleep she approached his ear slowly, opening her lips a bit unsure before starting to sing the rest of the lyrics.

He stirred blinking a few times and rubbing his eyes, a bit dazed.
"That voice…", he whispered.
He didn't know if it was just his dream, or if that really happened, but the fact that he heard it was still a fact.
"Hey Nan", he was going to call her about the voice, but stopped when he saw that she was sleeping, her head using his arm as a pillow.
'Was that a dream?', he asked himself while gently pulling her hair behind her ear.
But it felt too real… Her voice, the unknown lyrics(which he didn't hear before), and… How close the voice sounded, it felt as if she was whispering the calm melody close to his ears.
… And he could swear that he remembered the warm of her breath close to his ear too.
"Ah… This is…", he babbled, holding his ear, that was red as his face and everything else.
Why his heart was beating so fast?
