He grunted.
You shoved.

He elbowed.
You swore.

He reached for the beef strips on the sizzling plate.
You snatched a couple away with your chopsticks.

“Why the hell do you keep stealing my food!?”
“Why the fuck do you keep hogging the elbow room!?”

“Tsk. You’re being childish.”
“Ugh. You’re being selfish.”

“I can’t—” A barely stifled laugh. You both turned to the source.
From across the table, Takao clutched his face in a failed attempt to hide his amusement.
“Goddammit, you guys. Your back-and-forths are so adorable.”

The bespectacled boy beside you choked on his food and turned away.
Your face was a ripe strawberry and the ice cubes in your glass suddenly became interesting.

“Y’know what, [First], you could just sit beside me if Shin-chan’s bothering you that much.”

Said green-haired teen’s shoulders visibly stiffened.
You bit your lip to contain your disappointment, and shuffled to get up.

“How long are you two going to stare at each other like that?” Takao’s annoyingly sing-songy voice cooed.
Reality slammed into you and you simultaneously broke the eye contact.
Hawk-eyes didn’t hold his laughter back this time. He was wiping tears away. “I’d gladly third-wheel on any of your dates. Watching you—God, much better than those sappy excuses for rom-coms on TV.”

“…”
“…”
“I’m going to murder you.”
“For once, I agree with four-eyes here.”
“…”
“…okay, okay. Sorry.”
He scoffed.
You rolled your eyes.
You both tried to hide your small smiles.

“I seriously need to get this on camera—”
You both leaned forward and flicked his forehead.
set in a restaurant, after school. if you were wondering.
