(A/N): Updates are super slow now, but I'm trying! Labor Day is close, so I have a three-day weekend now! I'm updating this book and hopefully my other book, so try to be patient with me!

Your POV

Your shoulders were tensed up as you carefully opened the bento box, taking way longer than you needed to open the box. Jyushimatsu hungrily looks at the box while jumping up and down in anticipation while Ichimatsu just sits there, pressing the soda against his eye.

"...Hey...you need help?" Ichimatsu offers out of nowhere as he points at your shaking hands. You sighed as you just shook your head in response and successfully popped open the lid.

Jyushimatsu's eyes sparkled and drool started to slowly run down his mouth as he stared down the bento box.

"Jyushimatsu, don't get into a staring contest with a bento box..." Ichimatsu flatly stated as he gripped his shoulder roughly shook Jyushimatsu back and forth.

"Eh!?? Staring contest?" Jyushimatsu's pupils were placed in different directions, making you giggle as you took out three pairs of chopsticks.

Handing the pairs of chopsticks to the two, you motioned Jyushimatsu to the bento box. "Y-You can eat first, Jyushimatsu..."

Ichimatsu looked at you understandingly, knowing why you wanted Jyushimatsu to eat first. Jyushimatsu by now was positioned in a dog-like posture, ready to pounce on the bento box and gobble it all up.

Jyushimatsu gave you a grateful smile as he expertly grabbed a piece of meat with his chopsticks.

"Thank you [Y/N]-chan~!" Jyushimatsu thanked you out loud, hungrily chewing his food.

You smiled a bit in his direction as you patiently waited for him to finish eating his portion of bento box. Jyushimatsu finally finished his meal and sets down his chopsticks carefully.

He smacks his hands together as he quickly said, "Thank you for the meal," before standing up and grabbing his bat.

"Come on! Let's play more baseball!" Jyushimatsu enthusiastically said as he ushered the two of you to eat quickly.

You chuckled as you waited for Ichimatsu to start eating, but he doesn't move much.

"H-Huh? Aren't you going to eat..." Confused, you tilted your head as you waited for his response.

"No, you can eat first..." Ichimatsu muttered out as he sets his chopsticks down.

"N-No, you don't have to do that. You eat first..." You set down your chopsticks as well, putting down a firm fist.

Ichimatsu must've been surprised since he stares at you a bit, with slightly wide eyes. (Really only his left eye only widened XD)

"I got an idea! How about if you eat together?" Jyushimatsu suggests.

The both of you looked at each other, giving in to Jyushimatsu's recommendation as you each picked up your chopsticks. You can't argue with Jyushimatsu after all...not with that cheerful face that he has...

A light blush spreads across your face as you started to awkwardly eat, trying to ignore the fact that Ichimatsu was right across you.

Ichimatsu looks like he doesn't really care since he just continues to eat, like you weren't inches away from bumping your forehead against his.

You were about to grab a dumpling when your chopsticks clashed against his, both of you grabbing the same dumpling. You desperately tried to untangle your chopsticks from his and instead grabbed another one. Sadly, Ichimatsu had the same idea and the both of you got the same piece of meat. You blushed as you set down your chopsticks and decided to not eat anymore.

Ichimatsu has a light blush on his face as he embarassingly puts down his chopsticks.

"It was...edible..." Ichimatsu awkwardly comments. (That's a pretty good compliment for me!)

Jyushimatsu smiles wider as he hears that.

"Ichimatsu liked it!" He shouted out.

A bit confused, you realized that he wasn't really good at words, let alone compliments.

"T-Thank you!" Still flustered, you thanked him.

°•◇◆Timeskip◆◇•°

You sighed as you swiped the sweat off your brow, exhausted from the practice.

"Oh! [Y/N]-chan! It's pretty late, we have to go home before Mom worries about us!" Jyushimatsu suddenly said as he gathered his equipment together.

Ichimatsu nods as he lightly touches his right eye.

"What are you going to say to your mom?" You worriedly lightly touched his right eye before realizing what you were doing.

Ichimatsu steps back, away from your touch, shrugging his shoulders. "I'll just say I got hit by a baseball. It's that simple..." Ichimatsu explains as he looks at his soda.

"A-Alright. I'll see you both on Monday." You stammered out as you grabbed your bag.

"Bye [Y/N]-chan!" Jyushimatsu yelled out as he waved his hands like there was no tomorrow.

Ichimatsu only awkwardly raises his hand to you.

You waved back to them--not enthusiastically like Jyushimatsu--and exited the park.

-

Sighing, you finally reached your house and opened the door expertly, putting away your bag before sluggishly going upstairs and collapsing on your bed. Just when you were about to fall asleep, you heard the sound of your ringtone playing. You sighed, wondering why you have a loud ringtone as you lazily picked up your phone and glancing at the caller's ID.

You slightly looked away from the phone when you read the Caller ID: 'Tater Totty♡♡♡.'

"Hmm? D* Pe, my favorite..." Ichimatsu whispered to himself as [Y/N] left, smiling at the soda.
