Day 17
After the morning announcement Makoto made his way to the dining hall, and immediately noticed Toko was there for once "What are you s-staring at...?"
"Oh, Toko...?"
"What, you think y-your eyes will rot just by l-looking at me? Fine, then DON'T l-look at me!"
"I think he's just surprised to see you at the breakfast meeting, is all..." Hiro told her
"Indeed. It's been quite a while since you joined us." Sakura added
"Yeah, what made you change your mind?" Hina asked
Toko looked down as her face went red "Byakuya said he...l-likes girls to have some meat o-on her bones, so... I'm g-gonna start eating! I'm gonna force it d-down into my stomach! I'm gonna eat till I d-drop!"
"I refuse to l-lose!" Hina took that as a challenge for some reason
"I wouldn't do that if I were you..." Sakura advised
"Well, other than that..." Makoto looked around again "it looks like Kyoko and Quill aren't here."
"Oh, they said they'd come by later." Hiro told him
"Later...?"
"Yeah. After you leave."
"I don't know what you did, but they seemed super upset" Hina added
"You three just need to make up already, ya know?"
Makoto sighed, not having a chance to do that yet. he decided he needed to talk to Sakura first "U-Um...Sakura?"
"What is it?" she asked
"Can you make some time later? I was hoping I could talk to you."
"Can our talk wait till tomorrow? I'd like to get some rest today... For some reason, I've been feeling worn down these last few days."
"Huh? Are you sick? Did you get hurt?" Hina worried
"No, nothing serious. I've just had some minor aches and pains..."
"But it must be pretty bad if you have to go rest. Are you sure you're okay?"
"I'm sure a protein shake and some sleep will get me back on my feet."
"That's true, protein is good for all kinds of stuff!"
"You guys, like, worship protein. It's like your god or something..." Hiro commented
"Makoto! I dunno what it is you wanna talk to Sakura about, but save it till tomorrow! She's in pain!" Hina told him
"Y-Yeah, I got it..."
"Sorry..." Sakura apologized
"Well...for now, let's eat!" Hiro said
"E-Eat? I'm kinda n-nervous..." Toko smiled despite that
"Huh? How come?"
"Cuz...I don't usually...e-eat in front of other p-people. Ever since I w-was a kid, I'd...eat b-by myself."
"What about your family?"
"Oh, well-y-yeah. I used to live with my d-dad, my mom, and my m-mom."
"You had...two moms?"
"What? That's just how th-things were..."
"That's, like, a serious issue!"
"Just let it go." Hina told him "You're asking for trouble getting involved with her more than you have to."
