"Seeya!" This has been a good, fun, productive evening. Mondays aren't usually this good.

She waves and hops off.

"We are very cool superheroes," says Haru smugly, leaning on Yutaka and hugging his arm.

"We are," and Yutaka has a very cool BOYFRIEND eheheheheh. He kisses the top of Haru's head.

"Dinner?"

"Yeah let's."

"So. What's this about."

"W-well, of course you can. When's he arriving?"

...man, how did he miss that Toshiki liked him. It was probably because his head was buried so far up his own ass.

"You're very funny."

"The girls love to tell me that."

Oh no he's adorable. Yutaka somehow forgot that. That's why he enjoyed toying with Toshiki so much, he's so cute.

"I can believe that."

"No. You're very charming, and you know you're not unpopular with girls."

"Itadakimasu."

"Itadakimasu..."

"I'm not gonna waste time asking how you've been. Akira told me school's been..."

"Of course you talked to Akira."

"...I'm sorry."

"...for talking to Akira?"

"No, for, for... you know. Not being there, leaving you guys in the lurch."

"Well it's not your fault your dad's a piece of shit."

Yutaka coughs and looks away. "Well, that's. Direct."
