makes you sure you're all i need?

under the vast expanse of the starry night sky, a breathtaking celestial display glittered like a myriad of diamonds scattered across a velvet canvas.

the air was crisp and invigorating, a refreshing gust sweeping through the street, causing a soft shiver to run down (name) and ganyu's spines as they ventured forward.

the distant city lights cast a warm glow, adding a touch of magic to the chilly ambiance.

as they strolled down the peaceful and uncluttered street, the sound of their footfalls on the smooth pavement echoed softly, creating a gentle rhythm that harmonized with the distant hum of passing vehicles.

the area, usually bustling with people and activities during the day, now wore a serene and tranquil cloak, offering respite from the noise and chaos of daily life.

their destination was the bright and familiar facade of mcdonald's, adorned with vibrant neon lights that beckoned hungry customers in for a quick meal.

but tonight, there was something else drawing them in - a limited-edition pompompurin keychain that had captured the hearts of collectors and enthusiasts alike.

excitement painted (name)'s face as they stepped into the bustling fast-food restaurant. a mix of familiar chatter, the sizzle of frying food, and the aroma of freshly cooked burgers filled the air.

ganyu glanced around, her eyes settling on a vacant table at the corner, providing them with a quiet nook to enjoy their meal.

"okay, (name), i'll go reserve that table for us. you take care of the orders, alright?" ganyu suggested, placing her trust in her friend's ability to manage their meal choices.

with a playful grin, (name) pretended to clasp her hands together in silent prayer, secretly wishing for the special keychain to find its way into her possession.

it wasn't just a toy; it held sentimental value to her, and she wanted to cherish it as a cherished keepsake.

"i'll be thrilled with just the pompompurin keychain." (name) declared as she approached the counter, unaware of the curious white-haired boy who had inadvertently eavesdropped on her wish.

meanwhile, kazuha, the next in line, stood lost in thought, trying to decide what to order. suddenly, inspiration struck him, and a smile crept across his face.

"ah, and one happy meal, the one with the pompompurin keychain," he announced, the enthusiasm in his voice unintentionally carrying to nearby ears, including (name)'s.

with a smile, the cashier addressed kazuha, "congratulations, sir! you've got the last pompompurin keychain." as she took his order, she unwittingly shattered (name)'s hopes of obtaining the coveted keychain.

upon hearing the words, (name)'s heart sank like a lead weight. her dreams of claiming the precious keychain seemed to crumble before her eyes as if fate played a cruel joke on her.

how could he have taken the last happy meal without any malice, unaware of the impact his order would have on her?

summoning her courage, she couldn't help but voice her frustration, "hey! that was supposed to be my happy meal!"

her irritation and disappointment were palpable, and everyone around them noticed the sudden tension between the two strangers.

kazuha, however, remained composed, meeting her fierce gaze with calm composure. he didn't back down, convinced that he had obtained the happy meal fair and square.

the onlookers couldn't help but take notice of the brewing conflict between the boy and the girl, their hushed murmurs creating a murmuring backdrop to the tense situation.

"i think there might be a misunderstanding. i ordered it first." kazuha countered, hoping to clarify the situation and avoid any further conflict.

ganyu, witnessing the unfolding drama, swiftly intervened to mediate the situation. she reached out and took hold of (name)'s trembling hand, trying to soothe her friend's distress.

sensing that things were spiraling out of control, ganyu rushed to (name)'s side, trying to diffuse the tension before it escalated further.

"what are you doing, (name)? you're embarrassing yourself again." she reprimanded gently.

feeling a mix of frustration, disappointment, and embarrassment, (name) clung to her desire to possess the special pompompurin keychain.

"ganyu, he stole my happy meal, and it was the last one!" she declared, her voice quivering with emotion.

"let's not make a scene, (name). come on, we can order one online instead. i'll even treat you to some delicious takoyaki. how does that sound?" ganyu suggested, her voice gentle and comforting.

with reluctance, (name) allowed herself to be led out of the restaurant, her heart still heavy with the frustration of the thwarted quest for the keychain.

the surrounding strangers returned to their mundane routines, but the tension between (name) and kazuha lingered.

with a heavy sigh, kazuha retrieved his food and the happy meal from the counter, contemplating his options as he exited the restaurant.

as he walked away, he pondered whether to keep the happy meal or dispose of it. yet, after a moment of reflection, he shook his head, deciding to hold on to it, for reasons he couldn't quite explain.

perhaps, in some inexplicable way, fate had intended for that happy meal to find its way into his possession.
