Rolling his head back, Chifuyu stares at the school rooftop. Surely, Ryusei’s gotten all sorts of chocolates already. What good would giving him more do? He grimaces at the thought of further inflating Ryusei’s ego. Searching the sky for answers, an idea lights in his eyes. Popping from his perch, he slides his way down the stair railing ( making a scene in the process ) and races to his locker. Frantically, he undoes the combination and sorts through the clutter before grabbing his choice in gift. Setting through the hallways, he calls Ryusei’s name several times until he finally finds him in a new napping spot.
“Oi, Ryusei!” He exclaims almost belligerently. Cheeks starting to flush, he dramatizes his breathing to a huff. Maybe it’s the running. Maybe it’s his own sensitivity to what he’s about to do. Or maybe ( most likely ) it’s a combination. “Since I’m sure every girl in school’s already given you chocolate, here.” He states, unceremoniously tossing a manga volume onto Ryusei’s stomach. “You wanted the next volume, right?” Chifuyu mutters the question, evidently embarrassed. Who in their right mind shares BL with a bro friend?
Ryusei had been stopped in the halls more times than he would have liked, receiving chocolates from multiple fangirls of his at school. He appreciated the thought, sure, but none of it really mattered to him. In fact, he even had to go find a new spot to nap because girls kept disturbing him just to try to give him candy in hopes he'd give them his attention. Though when it comes to receiving something from Chifuyu, it hadn't crossed his mind. He didn't picture Chifuyu being the kind to get anything for someone unless it was someone he was interested in. Not in a bad way, but still.
Hearing the familiar voice, he lifts the eye mask as he peeks over, jumping a bit out of surprise when the book suddenly makes contact with his stomach. Staring over it as he picks it up in his hand, he chuckles but the smile is fond nontheless. "Yeah. I like that you remembered. I can read it later and give it back to you tomorrow if you want it back. Though you're right on the chocolates." He laughs, reaching around to his bag and holding out a decorated bag. "Want some? I've more than plenty to last for like a week. You're definitely welcome to have some. Oh, that reminds me. I've got something for you too in my locker. If you remember which one it is, you're welcome to go get it on your way out. I keep my locker unlocked, after all. I just dummy it so people don't know it's unlocked."
"And thanks again for the volume. I've been looking forward to see what happens next. Have you read it already, I'm taking it?"
