Atsushi Murasakibara was still amazed at how much it snowed in Akita. Just the previous evening, there had been a blizzard, and it had already started snowing again this morning. There was one thing he did like about the snow, however.
"It looks like everything's covered in powdered sugar. It's making me hungry."
"We just ate, Atsushi. Lunch period hasn't even been over for ten minutes yet. Keep it together." Himuro didn't know how he'd been appointed as Murasakibara's babysitter, but he was going to find out so he could smack that person with all his might.
"Akachin would let me eat."
"Do I look anyting like Seijuro Akashi to you?"
"You are both high school aged young men who both play basketball. In addition, you both-"
He's really picking now to act smart? "Quit being a smartass and answer the question."
"No, you really don't."
"That's what I thought."
Murasakibara decided to switch tactics. "Mamachin, I'm hungry."
That was certainly a first. "Who is Mamachin? I don't know who that is."
"You are, Mamachin."
Himuro had to admit, he really did feel like Murasakibara's mom sometimes, a lot more than he ever had with Kagami. Did two months really make that much difference, or was it the difference in upbringing? Himuro suspected the latter. With Murasakibara being the youngest of five siblings, it wouldn't be too surprising if he had been babied for most of his life.
"Alright. If you hurry, you could probably grab a snack from your room. Just promise that you will never call me that horrible name ever again."
"What name is that?"
"The one you just called me."
"I don't know what you're talking about." We're seriously doing this now? He was definitely up to something.
"I mean…" Himuro couldn't believe what he was about to do. "Mamachin," he whispered.
"Oh, that. Sure." If he encouraged this kind of nonsense, Murasakibara would never grow up and start acting his age. He would have to eventually, but Himuro was not actually in charge of him, so he really didn't care when that was.
My sister came up with Mamachin. I just wish I hadn't been driving at the time, because I had been laughing so hard, I almost crashed my car.
Next chapter features Hyuga and Kiyoshi. Pretty sure Hyuga's going to be made fun of again for his cardboard helmet.
Thanks for reading!
