Sorry for not posting for a while... I have no excuse.
"This is it," Rin grinned. "We will finally figure out who won!" He busted through Haruka's front door holding a heavy sack.
The silence was deadly and all that could be heard was the money counting going on in the room over. Makoto and Haruka were counting all our tips in the room as we all waited anxiously. Nagisa was humming softly while squeezing my hand. Aiichiro, or as I later found out Nitori, was playing with his hands while Sousuke was insisting he calmed down. Although, I think Rin needed to hear that more than anyone else. His focus was solely on the door. You could practically see his ear twitch every time a coin would drop.
Then, Makoto opened the door, his usual smiling giving no hints as to who won. Haruka followed, and of course his face said nothing. Rin's sharp teeth bit his bottom lip and his fists tightened. Nagisa stopped humming and Nitori stopped fiddling with his hands. Everyone was still.
"Okay guys," Makoto's voice was low. "The winner is..."
"Us," Haruka finished. "We won."
"YES!" Nagisa jumped up. "We won, Rei-chan!" He hugged me, pushing me down to the floor.
Rin's expression was disappointed, yes, but he manged to get up and pat Haruka on the back. Nitori sighed and mumbled something about next time, however Sousuke smiled. This was unexpected, but welcomed. His smile was bright and it made me wonder why he didn't do it all the time. Sousuke simply congratulated us and left with an excuse of having to wake up early.
We were treated greatly by the losers with frozen yogurt. Nagisa took this as an invitation to clear the store of all their toppings. It was maybe three-fourths topping with the remainder being yogurt. Rin, and the employee at the time, made the expression that possibly meant the most in body language. It was a face of horror, wonder, confusion, but also a bit of disgust. Maybe the bill was the reason Sousuke bailed because Nagisa's alone was about 1,000 yen.
"Say ah~!" Nagisa sung as he took my spoon.
"I'd rather not..." I turned my face away.
"Do it or I'll eat it!" He dangled it above his mouth.
I gasped. "No-" And then the spoon was shoved in my mouth.
"Why are you so against me eating your yogurt?"
"I would prefer it if you don't use my spoon," I cleared my throat. "I don't like having other people's saliva on my things. You could have some, if you use your spoon."
Nagisa giggled. "That's going to be a problem when we have our first make-out session."
"Don't say that!" I slammed my face in my hands.
Right about then was when Makoto, Haruka, and the others realized we needed a table to ourselves.
