Hanamiya didn't know why he let her sit with him during lunch today. [Last Name] had been rambling on different things, and he strived for silence.

"[Last Name]," he said, irritability evident in his voice, "you are so goddamn annoying."

She blinked, then rubbed the back of her head. "Sorry, Hanamiya-san. I don't realize I talk so much until someone tells me." She let out a nervous laugh.

"Apparently," he remarked boredly, "And drop the -san. It's too formal."

"Okay, Hanamiya-kun."

They sat in silence for the rest of lunch. When the bell signaled the end of it, they both stood up.

"Ne, Hanamiya-kun, can I go to one of your games?"

He scowled. "The hell you asking me for? I'm not your father. Go if you want to."

[Last Name] flinched at his words, specifically at the word "father."

He sighed. "Sorry."

She shook her head. "Don't be. I guess it is kind of silly to ask for your permission..."

He felt like shit that night.
