The Service Club usually spent their afternoons in silence. Today was no different. However, joining them in their silence was a certain green-headed bird waddling around eating bread crumbs off the ground.

"Yuigahama-san…" Yukinoshita trailed off.

"Hmm?" was her reply.

"Don't… spill… food… on the… floor." Yukinoshita struggled to reprimand her friend as the recently resident duck adorably bent down and gobbled a piece of bread.

"But- but…" Yuigahama was on the verge of tears. "Duck-san is just too cute!" She cried, "Munching on those crumbs with his- he is a guy right?"

Hikigaya nodded. "Retractable."

"-his adorable waddle!"

Yukinoshita frowned, "Duck-san…?"

Yuigahama froze, slowly turning towards Hikigaya. "WHAT IS HIS NAME?!?!"

Hikigaya opened his mouth, seemingly to answer the glaring question that Yuigahama asked, but his eyes widened as he muttered, "...duck."

"YOU NEVER NAMED HIM?" Yuigahama screamed.

"I FORGOT THAT'S A THING YOU NEED TO DO!" Hikigaya screamed back in panic as the two of them flicked their gaze to their feathered pet.

Yuigahama squinted. "Donald?"

"No way." Hikigaya replied, "It was to be something noble like Ahirumaru."

"That's just weird!"

"What, do you not want to be called Yuigahamaru?"

"No!"

Hikigaya sighed. "Fine, what about Kurekure?"

"Kurekure?" Yuigahama asked.

"Like my cat."

"Won't that be confusing?"

"No? It's Kurekure and Kamakura."

"Karakara?"

"Are you making fun of me?"

"Sorry, I flubbed it."

"No way, that had to be on purpose!"

"I fwubbed it!"

"It wasn't on purpose!?"

"Kurekure…" Yukinoshita mumbled as she picked up the duck, "How cute." She smiled softly as she stared into the bird's beady eyes as the newly named Kurekure munched on bread.

'Too cute!' Hikigaya and Yuigahama mentally exclaimed, staring at the sight in front of them.

And thus, Kurekure was named.
