Wakatoshi and I arrive at the restaurant. Unsurprisingly, it's a barbecue place. It's a bit crowded so I stay close to him.
Looking at his phone screen, he says,
"We need to go in and place an order."
"Okay."
We walk in and I walk behind him as we pass through.
We wait in line, making awkward conversation as he texts the team. We finally reach the counter. As we walk up, he pulls up the order. I see her.
Though it's been two years, she still manages to give me that nasty look of hers.

"Last one, Suzuki." Kiyomi speaks.
"Thanks" He takes the chair from her.
"Okay, I think that's the last of the things!" Tendō says.
"We've emptied the chairs, the umbrellas, the cooler, and the bags." Reon points as he talks.
"Yeah. Now we need to set everything up. Semi, mind giving me a hand unfolding the chairs?" Yusho says.
"Sure thing."
"Gather round! We've got an update from Ushiwaka." Umeda yells.
We're getting barbecue like you said. What do you all want? Umeda reads aloud.
With that being said, Goshiki and Yu begin jumping and squealing.
"Tone it down, you two." Shirabu says irritatedly.
"Let's definitely get ribs." Jin says.
"And steak." Kiyomi adds, laughing.

The cashier, could it be? Kirai Fujita? With wide eyes, all I can mutter is,
"Fujita?"
"Takahashi?" She says, the color draining from her face.
"It's been a while! How have you been?" I put my hand out to shake hers.
"I've been fine." She doesn't shake my hand. Instead, she looks down and presses buttons on the register.
"How's your school? I hope it's all working out for you." I put my hands together.
"What would you like to order?" She says blankly, sighing.
Have it your way. I stay quiet.
"We'd like to order three orders of ribs and steak. Two bottles of iced tea too." Wakatoshi doesn't look too happy, something about him is tense.
She looks up at him and beams. The cheekiest smile I've ever seen.
"Sure thing! I'll get them started on the order for you." She winks.
"We have to wait here, I suppose?" Wakatoshi asks as he pays. A little beep comes out from the register after he puts his phone up to the pad.
"Yeah! So what's your name?" Her hair is around her fingers. She leans on the counter.
"Ushijima." He says.
"I know, I know. This is a funny pairing, the top ace Wakatoshi and the Takahashi girl." She laughs.
"Please don't call me by my first name. It's not appropriate." He's on edge. She ignores him.
"Is it really you, Hana? I haven't seen you in a while. You've lost a little weight, it's no wonder you ordered this much." She drags her finger up and down.
