Now I should go and ask Shinazugawa-San, what he prefers...
Giyuu thought.

He goes to Sanemi's estate once again.
He knocks on his door.

"Coming..."
Sanemi walked over to his door.

He opened his door to find Giyuu standing there. He was irritated by Giyuu's presence once again.

"Wha-"
Giyuu was interrupted by Sanemi.

"Why the fuck are you here again?"
Sanemi looked genuinely annoyed.

"I don't want to bug you more... "
Giyuu said, getting to the main point.

"Is your favourite food Ohagi?"
Giyuu asked.

What the hell? That was so random...
Sanemi thought.

"Why?"
He asked.

"No particular reason..."
Giyuu said.

Sanemi let out a sigh.

"It is, so what?"
He asked.

"Do you prefer the red bean paste, smooth or mashed?"
Giyuu asked.

"Don't tell me you're gonna make it now... Come on! I'm not eating that."
Sanemi said.

"Just tell me..."
Giyuu insisted on knowing his preference.

"Ugh... Fine, mashed."
Sanemi said, rolling his eyes.

"Okay..."
Giyuu replied.

"I repeat, I'm not gonna eat that!"
Sanemi said.

"..."
Giyuu stood there silently.

"The heck are you still standing here for!? You've annoyed me twice this day alone! Now, leave!"
Sanemi shouted at him.

"I'm sorry..."
Giyuu walked away.

Sanemi slammed his door close.

_______________________________________

Giyuu rushed to his estate and pulled up his sleeves, all ready to start making Ohagi for Sanemi.

He got all the ingredients and followed all the steps to make them perfect.

It was night time.

With tiny breaks in between, Giyuu spent the whole night making Ohagi, just for the sake of his friendship.
He tried to make them perfect, with the perfect colour, texture and flavour.

Before he even realised, he had already made over a hundred of them. It was the middle of the night.

"That's enough..."
Giyuu said to himself, as he looked at the tower of Ohagi he just made.

He let out a sigh as he wiped off his sweat.

"Let's get this packed."
He said as he kept all of them in a big box.
He put the box inside a bag, for better security.

He then went off to sleep.

_______________________________________

It was the next morning.

Giyuu woke up. He got all ready and took his freshly made Ohagi to Sanemi.

He smiled slightly due to the fact that this would make Sanemi happy.

He knocked on his door.

Oh God...Tell me it's not Tomioka, please!
Sanemi thought as he opened his door.

"Dammit!"
Sanemi looked furious.

But he didn't want to get all pissed off early in the morning, therefore he tried to keep his calm.
He let out a sigh.

"What do you-"
Sanemi stopped abruptly as Giyuu stepped closer, till they were extremely close to each other.

Sanemi felt a little weird, he had never felt this way before. But, he brushed it off immediately.

"Step off, tell me why the hell are you here?"
Sanemi said, pushing Giyuu to where he was standing before.

"I made these... For you."
Giyuu said, smiling softly as he extended his bag to Sanemi.

Sanemi took the bag.

Why is it kinda heavy...? Don't tell me he filled it with Ohagi or something! Great God...
Sanemi opened it to find a huge box inside.

He opened the box and was shocked, he didn't expect there to be that many of them.

"Please, accept them as a sign of our friendship. I made them just for you, I-I really hope we can be friends..."
Giyuu said, his eyes sparkled though he still had a straight face on.

"No."
Sanemi said.

"...Why? Isn't this your favourite?"
Giyuu asked as he tilted his head.

"I told you that I won't eat it, yet you still brought me this... Y'know I won't eat all of this!"
Sanemi said.

"You're turning me down again..."
Giyuu said, looking down.

"And so what if I am? What're you gonna do?"
Sanemi asked.

"I-I... Really worked hard to make you those, you know that...?"
Giyuu looked at Sanemi.

"I never told you to do that!"
Sanemi replied.

"Atleast try one, I want you to tell me how it tastes like..."
Giyuu insisted.

"Ugh, fine!"
Sanemi rolled his eyes as he took one out.

Why am I even listening to Tomioka...
Sanemi ate one.

"It's... not that bad."
He said.

"So you mean it's good?"
Giyuu asked.

"Yeah, whatever."
Sanemi said.

Giyuu had his emotionless expression on, but he was feeling really happy inside.

"Want to take the rest of them?"
Giyuu asked.

"Hell no! Don't you dare give me one more."
Sanemi replied.

"Oh uhm... Alright, but they'll get wasted this way."
Giyuu said.

"I never told you to make this many, did I?"
Sanemi asked.

Giyuu said no quietly as he stood there, looking down.

"Why are you still standing? You wanna pick a fight with me?"
Sanemi asked.

"Oh... No I don't."
Giyuu said.

"Then leave! Or I'll chase you down this time!"
Sanemi threatened him.

Giyuu walked away slowly.

He looked at his bag of Ohagi, all his hardwork, rejected in a matter of seconds.

"Good morning, Tomioka-San!"
Mitsuri walked towards him.

"Ah... Good morning."
Giyuu looked at Mitsuri.

"What's wrong? Why do you look so sad? Is everything okay?"
She asked.

"Yeah..."
Giyuu said.

"Don't lie, did something happen?"
Mitsuri asked.

"I just made Shinazugawa-San his favourite food."

"Wow!!! Really? What happened after that?"
Mitsuri asked.

"I just went to his estate to give it to him..."
Giyuu said.

"I see! Did he take it?"
Mitsuri asked.

Giyuu shook his head to say no.

"Eh??? Why would he do that!!! That's so mean, don't you worry Tomioka-San! It's okay! I won't let your hardwork go to waste."
Mitsuri told him to not feel bad and cheer up. She even offered to eat all the Ohagi so that it wouldn't go to waste.

Giyuu gave her the box.

She opened it quick.

"Wow! You really made a lot, Tomioka-San! I really love your determination!!!"
She said as she finished it all in a minute.

"Did you just... Eat it all?"
Giyuu asked.

"Why not? They were so good!"
Mitsuri licked her fingers.

"Really?"
Giyuu asked.

"Mhm! They were really delicious Tomioka-San! You're so talented!"
She said.

"Th-Thanks."
Giyuu smiled a little.

"Shinazugawa-San is so mean, I feel very bad for you... I'll visit him some day and tell him to befriend you!"
Mitsuri said.

"That would be helpful..."
Giyuu said.

"I know right!?"
Mitsuri smiled at him.

"Thank you for not letting them go to waste, Kanroji."
Giyuu said.

"No problem!"
Mitsuri said.

Giyuu walked back home, wondering what else he could do.
