Lemonade (Kenji x Junichiro)

(Idk why I ship this, I just do)

Kenji's P.O.V

I walked into the big building on the corner of Hibushi avenue. As soon as I did, I got a bad feeling.

I decided to ignore it. I walked up to the main office and said good morning to everyone.

I sat down in my normal spot and drew a cow on an extra piece of paper laying around.

A few minutes later, Junichiro and Naomi wandered in.

"Good morning, everyone," Junichiro said.

He smiled like normal and sat down. What wasn't normal however is how Naomi has a scowl on her face.

"Hey Naomi, are you ok?" Atsushi asked.

She glared at him and muttered a small yes. I assumed it was her way of asking him to be quiet, and he did.

She plopped down into her normal chair and stared out the window silently. Just then, Kunikida told me and Junichiro that we had a job to do together.

We walked out onto the street after getting the details from Kunikida. On the way, Junichiro asked me a question.

"Hey Kenji? I've never thought to ask, but why don't you go to school?"

"I was never enrolled, and since neither of my parents are here, I legally can't be I guess. I'm not fully sure. I've never thought about it," I replied.

He nodded and a silence fell upon us. A few moments later, he asked me another question.

"Did you go to school when you lived with your parents?"

"No. I worked all day. We all did, actually. No one went to school. We didn't even have one."

"So what kind of work did you do?" He asked me.

"Hm... I helped garden, collect supplies, take care of the animals, build things, fix things. I did pretty much anything that needed to be done."

"I see. So I assume you were still pretty social, even if you didn't go to school?" He asked me.

I nodded and asked him why he wanted to know any of this. He looked down, clearly nervous to tell me.

I put my hand on his shoulder, saying, "Trust me. Whatever it is, I'll help you with it."

He looked at me and smiled momentarily, then proceeding to look off into the distance.

"You know how me and Naomi had..... an interesting relationship?" He started.

I nodded.

"Well, I told her that maybe we should cool it off for a bit. Take a small break. And.... I guess she took it the wrong way, and now she won't look at me or speak to me. I don't know what to do, Kenji."

"Hm... I'd say to give her some time. She just needs to really process and accept it, and it's hard to do that when the person causing these emotions is close by," I told him.

"You're really good at giving advice " he noted.

I nodded and told him that we'd arrived.

He looked up and yelped in surprise.

"W-What the?!" Junichiro exclaimed.

Upon seeing the massacre in front of us, my smile dropped. I closed my eyes and silently prayed that their souls would rest in peace.
