◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

I was blankly staring at the claw machine. The surrounding noise was lost in my ear as my focus was at the lights that was blinking.

A tap on my shoulder made me screech a bit. "Remi." Sengoku looked at me with his straight face as my eyes could only see red all of a sudden.

"For you, that should snap you out of it for a while." I took hold of what was covering my eyes. It was a red bird plushie. "How many times did you play for you to get this."

"Hah, I only tried once and despite how I look I'm pretty good with games ok." Sengoku, can seem really cool sometimes but even when he isn't. I think I like him a lot.

"You didn't have to though." I stared at plushie in my hand as a feeling of warmth and happiness slowly seeped in.

"Remi, let's go." His back seemed reliable as he walked.

"Sengoku." I tugged on the hem of his school blazer as I whispered his name. A hint of confusion was on his face.

"Let's check another claw machine." His eyes widened as he looked at me before giving me a smile. I saw him reach into his pocket. So he did attempt the claw for some time. Anyway.

"Next week then? Since I'm honestly feeling a bit tired today." His face had brightened as I held his hand and ran.

"Remi why are you running if you are tired then!?"

I did not turn back to look at him as I ran and had his hand in mine.

"Ah." I stopped in front of a cafe and looked at him.

"Sengoku."
"Remi."
"Sengoku~"
"Remi."

"There's a bug on your shoulder." He took a look and slid his hand through this shoulders obviously disturbed by my statement.

"Pfft."
"Remi, is it gone now?"
"Yeah." Because there never was a bug. Sengoku is afraid of bugs.

But I also love that part of him.
