Haruka opened the large doors to the dining room, stepping inside with a loud yawn. She was dressed in a thin, light blue top with long, loose sleeves. Lace decorated the ends of her shirt in beautiful, blue flower patterns. Long, blue skinny jeans covered her legs, reaching down far enough to almost completely cover her snowflake patterned socks. Haruka rubbed her eyes and she walked over to her seat and sat down.

She looked to her watch, finding that she was there a little early for breakfast. Haruka leaned back in her seat, closing her eyes. Her senses dulled as she lolled herself into a sense of peace, feeling her body relax fully. She would have drifted into a deep sleep if the large door to the dining room hadn't opened suddenly. Haruka lolled her head to the side, peeking through heavy eyelids to see who had entered the room.

Haruka bounced up in surprise as a familiar head of blond hair appeared in front of her. "Jinguji-san?" She asked in surprise, rubbing her eyes.

"Good morning." Ren greeted her with a smile, walking over to his seat in front of her and sitting down. Ren was dressed in a pair of gray sweatpants and a loose, white shirt with the first three buttons undone. Haruka blushed, seeing his exposed chest, causing Ren to smirk playfully.

"It's been awhile since you were here for breakfast." Haruka pointed out, smiling at him shyly.

"Sorry, I have been busy for a while." Ren apologized. "But I should be able to come to breakfast for the next week at least." Haruka smiled at Ren, leaning forward in her seat.

"So you're done with work?" Haruka asked innocently, cushioning her cheek with her arms on the table. Ren chuckled, running a hand through his hair.

"Done? Oh no, I'm never done with work. I just finally finished enough to have some free time." Ren sighed, stretching his arm.

"That's too bad." Haruka frowned, pouting. Ren smiled and shook his head.

"No, I'm use to it. It's actually a little relaxing at times."

"So what are you doing today?" Haruka asked, smiling again.

"Not much- I've got an appointment today to discuss the creation of a new branch." Ren shrugged. Haruka stared at him in a childish awe.

"That's really cool? Why are you meeting- do I know them?" Haruka asked.

"Shinomiya-san is coming over." Ren smiled.

"Really?! Is Kurusu-kun coming too?" Haruka asked, sitting up.

"If Shinomiya-san is coming, Kurusu is never far away." Ren shrugged. Haruka giggled, nodding. "They should be arriving around midday today."

"Okay~" Haruka smiled. The doors to the kitchen opened and the chefs came out with the plates of food. Taichi came out with a big smile on his face, rushing over to Haruka with a plate of eggs.

"I mixed a lot of bits of ham and cheese in it before cooking it along with some black pepper." Taichi gushed, placing the plate in front of her. Haruka smiled and thanked him, taking a bite of the scrambled eggs. Her face lit up in an instant and she turned back to Taichi.

"Delicious!" She cried happily. "These eggs are the best I've ever had!"

"I'm glad to hear that!" Taichi replied, pride practically spilling out of him.

Ren watched from across the table as the two of them chatted happily. Ren frowned when Taichi pet her head softly, stuffing some eggs into his mouth, grumbling. Ren didn't think the eggs were THAT good- they looked a little burnt in areas. Ren stopped momentarily, staring at the two friends across the table. Something about it... upset him. He bit his lip and looked away.

"I'll make you some more tomorrow, Nanami-san!" Taichi smiled, heading back into the kitchen. Ren watched her for a moment as she continued to eat her eggs before clearing his throat. Haruka looked up at him with an innocent smile.

"Haruka," Ren said, only a small smile on his face. "Are you two friends?"

"Oh! Yes, we met a few days ago. His name is Taichi-kun, and he's a really really good cook! I can't believe he's only an apprentice- his eggs are really good!" Haruka said, holding up her plate for emphasis. Ren felt a little tick of displeasure in seeing her eggs cooked to perfection- definitely better looking than his. In fact, it seems that his eggs were entirely different from Haruka's.

When Ren came back to reality, he was surprised to see a spoon in front of his face, Haruka leaning over to table. "Here, try some!" Haruka smiled. Ren blushed, bringing the fork into his mouth. Ren couldn't help but peek down her loose fitting shirt to see her cute, baby blue bra. Ren closed his eyes, trying to focus on the food. Ren's eyes popped back open when he bit into the eggs, surprised to find them so delectable. It was obvious now that Taichi only made Haruka's eggs and not Ren's. And he had to agree- the eggs did taste like they came from more than just an apprentice. Ren nodded his head in approval and Haruka smiled, sitting back down.

Haruka put down the fork she used to feed him and picking up the one on her plate. Ren chuckled, finding it cute how she couldn't bring herself to eat with the same fork he did. Ren smirked, cutting off a piece of his own eggs and taking a bite of the chunk that he picked up, leaving it half eaten.

"Haruka." He called. She looked up to find a fork of half eaten eggs in front of her. She blushed, noticing the obvious bite mark on it. Haruka wanted to turn it down, but when she looked at Ren's smiling face, she bit her lip and ate the eggs. They weren't very good compared to her eggs, but they still tasted good. Before she could compliment them, Ren stuck the fork back to his mouth and licked it, causing Haruka to blush. He winked at her and her eyes fell down to her lap. Ren chuckled again. Oh how very fun it was to tease her.
