It was a roasting hot summer day, and Kuwabara didn't particularly want to spend it outside. But both his father and Shizuru were at work today, so there wasn't really anything for him to do at home on his own, either.
Well, I guess there is something I can do, he thought, looking with guilt toward the pile of summer homework he had yet to touch, much less make an attempt at doing. Of course, there was plenty of time left to get it done, he didn't have to do it right this minute, but when he was home alone like this, what else was he supposed to do?
Just as Kuwabara was reaching for the first worksheet, someone started pounding on the front door. "Who could that be on a day this hot?" Kuwabara grumbled and went to answer the door. He opened it up to find his friends standing on the porch, and they shoved their way inside as soon as there was space for them to do so.
"Man, it's hot out today," Kirishima complained.
"Do you have anything to drink?" Okubo asked.
"In the fridge yeah, help yourself," Kuwabara said automatically. "What are you guys doing here?"
Sawamura held up a game. "I got a new video game! Thought you might want to play it with us."
Kuwabara grinned. "Sweet!"
