"Oh my, is that (N/n)-chan?" I smile nervously at the elder and bow.
"You've grown quite a lot," She smiles sweetly at me and laughs "Has Shinsuke been taking care of you dear?" She asks.
"Of course granny! He's the best." I say and give Shin-ta a thumbs up. He smiles and gestured for the others to come in.
"You should've told me you brought more friends Shinsuke, I'll prepare some tea." I help granny up and took off my shoes at the same time, entering the house.
"Thank you dear, now.. where did I put those leaves?" She begins to search the small pantry and the lower cabinets but couldn't find any.
"Could you search the top cabinets dear? I'm afraid I can't reach them, Shisuke's always been the one to help me with these."
I nod and start searching the other cabinets. I couldn't quite see anything, heck, I could barely even touch the cabinet itself. Who even planned the interior so that the cabinets were this high?
My fingers finally brushed against something tangible and I attempted to grab it, only for it to be pushed farther away from my reach. I let out a frustrated sigh and jumped a bit, only to tip the jar of leaves and making it fall. I could hear it roll over and stop with a 'thump' at the back of the cabinet.
Just as I was about to call Shin-ta for help I felt someone loom over me, taking the jar. I locked gazes with Rinato-kun, those stunning olive eyes peering down at me. I couldn't help but stare at the wonderful shade of green his eyes were.
I could hear someone clear their throat from behind me and I quickly realize the situation. I laugh nervously, breaking eye contact.
"Granny we found the tea leaves!" I jogged towards her completely forgetting that the jar wasn't with me. I turn back to take it but come face first with something solid. I swear there wasn't a wall there before.
I quickly move back and saw Rintaro-kun squinting his eyes at me in annoyance. I shrink at his gaze and stood there awkwardly, with my arm out expecting to be given the jar. Instead, he walks past me and began to share small talk with granny. I slapped my face with my outstretched hand and walked over to the others, the embarrassment eating me up. Once I was at the balcony, I slumped at the nearest wall and groaned. I could hear someone snort beside me.
"Don't even--" Before I could finish my sentence, Atsumu-san practically burst out in laughter. Even Osamu-san was struggling to contain his laughs. "Argh, whatever." I say in embarrassment, burying my flushed face using my arms.
Sometime later, Atsumu-san's laughs began to die down. Finally.
I glared at him and he began to laugh again. "Sorry- sorry, (F/n)-san. Your face is just too funny to look at right now." As he said that, he received a bonk from Shin-ta.
"What does that even mean? Do I have something on my face?"
"Yes you do. The mask of embarrassment." He laughs.
"That's not even that funny."
"For you it's not. For me it is."
"You're weird."
"Huh, I could say the same 'bout 'ya." He replies. I sigh in annoyance and peek over the door frame. Rintaro-kun had a small smile on his face as he talked about something. He poured the freshly brewed tea into small cups and placed them on a tray. It was my first time seeing him smile, it suited him. In the small amount of time that I got to know him, he was always wearing a stoic or bored expression.
"Stop staring." Shin-ta says, gently hitting me in the head. Before I could take my eyes off, RIntaro-kun looked at my direction for a split second. "It's rude."
