"What in the world-" Rin instantly blushed at what Junior said but then he cracked up at the sight of him sitting on Haruka's head. "Eh, OY! don't laugh!" Rin shouted at him.
"Sorry sorry, that was just so funny!" Kazuki couldn't stop laughing.
"Rinny Rin Rin? That's a strange nickname for him Junior, where did you get that from?" Haruka asked Junior. "Eh" Junior squawked, "Rinny's got a girly name!"
"Shut up you" Rin groaned. "I don't think so Junior, Rin is a boy" Haruka said.
"Oh..." Junior realised. "S-sorry..." He whined a bit. "Oh no no, it's okay buddy" Rin said, feeling bad for the bird. Then Junior flew onto Rin's head, "Ah, he's not so bad isn't he?" He appreciated the attention.
"He's a great pal after all" Kazuki smiled, "Come, sit down with us. We're having dinner but please feel free to join us"
"Sure" Rin went over and sat down with the others and Kazuki and Haruka continued to eat their dinner. "Ah, this seems healthy- that's mackerel in it isn't there?"
"Yup" Haruka nodded, helping himself to dinner. "Ah, you and mackerel... You never stop with it"
"Really?" Kazuki said, "Yeah, Makoto tells me that every morning after taking a dip in the bath with cold water he then dries himself, puts on an apron and starts grilling mackerel. He then puts it on toast after and eats it that way e.v.e.r.y m.o.r.n.i.n.g"
"Whoa! You like it that much!? Don't you ever get tired of it?" Kazuki asked him and Haruka shook his head. "No way! You have very good tastebuds, I wish mine could be like that too!"
"Eat more mackerel then" Haruka suggested and Rin gave him a look.
Haruka and Kazuki then finished up their dinner, "Ah~ What's for dessert?" Kazuki asked Haruka.
"Mackerel ice cream" He said and Rin and Kazuki sweat dropped. "Seriously?"
"Of course not, I was just kidding" Haruka gave them a chuckle.
He smiled! He just smiled! Even if it was just a little bit!
"But I tried it once, I made some one time and I don't know... It tasted a bit off..." He said before Rin laughed his heart out, Haruka wondered what was going on. "What?"
"You smiled Haru!" Rin laughed, "Eh, what's so funny about that?". "It's not funny, it's nice Haru"
"Well" Kazuki spoke, "When you smile it's like you're exposing yourself, like being free in being yourself. Eh, it's kind of hard to explain. When you smile when you speak it's like you're telling us that you're happy and you're exposing your personality and being free being you"
Haruka blushed, "Is... Is that so?" His head turned to the side a bit.
"Awww Haru! Don't be shy~" Rin teased. "I'm not" Haruka fought back.
Then a phone started ringing, the sound of it halted everyone. "Ah, sorry, that's mine" Kazuki goes and picks it up. "Hello? Ah, Deni!"
Rin and Haruka watched Kazuki talk on the phone, once they heard the name of the caller they thought that Kazuki has a girlfriend or something, it can't be but Kazuki looks like he is so happy when he is talking to this person.
Kazuki had a cheerful smiling face until it became serious, he talked in a steady tone but then he started to smile again, Haruka and Rin became curious.
"Okay! I'll be there soon! Wait for me!" Kazuki then ended the call. "Sorry guys, I have to pick someone up!"
"Eh? Now?"
"Yes, I am so sorry but can you guys please look after the place? I am counting on you Haruka!" He bowed to them before grabbing his wallet and things.
"Ah, no worries, I can look after it. Go ahead and come back soon"
"Yes. Thank you very much, I'll be back!" He opened up the front door in a hurry and left.
Haruka and Rin were left alone.
