I've been on a roll since I started writing this yesterday.
That's why there's so many chapters.
Disclaimer: I wish...
"Did you get my egg-rolls?"
Sou glanced sideways as Ichirou sat down, then handed him a small round box.
"Bento? For me?" Ichirou asked, sounding surprised. Sou felt his cheeks heat up.
"Getting just egg-rolls seemed stupid" he claimed, "So, I put in some vegetables and rice since I was making it anyway" he said.
Ichirou stared at Sou for a long time before Sou got the courage to look up and make eye-contact.
"Arigatou" Ichirou said, then started to eat.
Sou wondered how long his cheeks would be stained red.
Sou ate in silence, like he always did.
Once he was done, he looked sideways and noticed that Ichirou was fast asleep, the bento box empty and his melon bread unopened.
Sou sat there for a few more minutes, waiting as his heart rate slowed down to normal.
Then, he took the melon bread, opened it and put it to Ichirou's mouth.
Ichirou's eyes blinked open and he looked at Sou with his ever-expressionless face.
"Sou" he said, pulling the bread out of his mouth, "Arigatou"
Sou stood abruptly, his heart racing like there was a race and fidgeted.
"I'll get lunch tomorrow too" he said, then walked away, before his heart leapt out his throat and out of his body.
Why was he reacting like that anyway?
It was just Ichirou, not Uru.
Sou stopped for a moment and frowned.
It wasn't as if he liked Ichirou still.
Was it?
Let me know what you think!
