I feel bored staying at home. I mean it's better than feeling bruises but I know there at better things to do!
I'd get on a jacket and go outside. It was blue and pretty out. As I was walking, I saw flashing city lights and surprisingly relaxing noises. It felt like those weird asmr videos!
I'd walk around till I ended up near the beach. It was a beautiful sight. Crystal clear water just drifting up dry, peachy sand. I'd put my hand in the water. Looks were deceiving, as it almost froze my hand.
"Ah-"
I'd shake my hand.
It's best not to touch the water, even it if looks a bit nice.
I'd walk back up to the porch area where I'd find the old ice cream shop that was open. It was usually open in the summer and early fall, so I was surprised when the open sign was still up there.
If only I could pay for it though..
Dang it! I forgot the 10$ dad gave me!
Might as well just check out the flavors.
Wait a minute.. the money Ibuki gave me!
I'd check all my pockets until it fell out of my jumpsuit pocket.

The bell ring as I opened the door to the sugary smell of ice cream. I'd look at the flavors and discover that there was a limited flavor.
"Pumpkin Spice"
Maybe I should get that.
As I got up to the register area, I'd hear a familiar female's voice.
"Uh! Excuse me?"
I'd turn around.
"Sheesh! Men can't wait in line, can't they?"
Mahiru?
"Uh... I didn't see you there."
"Of course you didn't."
She'd sigh in disappointment.
"Whatever. You can order your ice cream first."
"No no it's fine. Go ahead."
Her face seemed more calm.
"Hmm. I suppose not all males would apologize for their mistakes. Alright."
She'd go up and order her ice cream.
The ice cream parlor would come with her ice cream.
"You two together?" They'd say.
"Uh. No..-"
"Oh? He's just a person from school. Sure. We're together."
"Mahiru- you didn't need to-"
"Don't argue with me."
I'd gulp. She could be a scary person when angry. But at times, she can be nice.
I'd go up and order my ice cream as well.
In fear of Mahiru of course.
As my ice cream came out, I'd pull out the 10$ and pay for our ice creams.
"How nice. You're willing to pay for mine."
I'd just ignore her response.
"Here, let's sit down."
She'd drag me to a spot near a window where we could sit.
"A nice man needs a reward for being nice! Why not have a view of the beach!"
Still in fear, I sat down. She sat across from me.
