"A BACKPACK? A PENCIL CASE? A-"

Before you could say your 3rd guess, the timer went off. Denki shook his head at your inability to guess what he'd drawn.

The two of you were playing Pictionary with a mini whiteboard and marker you in your purse, and Denki wasn't lying when he said he was shit at it.

"No, it was a purse," he sighed dejectedly while erasing the mini whiteboard.

"I was close! Plus you're getting better, it somewhat resembled a purse," you cheered. You took the board from him and handed him your phone.

"Lemme think of something," you said. "Ok got it, start the timer."

He started it, and you started drawing on the board.

You drew a bit, then turned it over so he could start guessing.

"A building? A school?" he guessed.

You shook your head and drew a bit more. You turned the board around again, and he took a bit more time guessing.

"Is it a factory?" he said unsurely.

"Yeah! How'd you get it so quickly?" you asked while erasing the board. He just shrugged and reached for the board.

"Maybe it's because my drawings don't look like chicken scratch," you chuckled lightly.

"That was just unnecessary," he muttered. "Start the timer."

You started it, and he scribbled away. He turned the board towards you so you could start guessing.

"A diplomat? Politician?" you asked.

"Time's almost out," the yellow-haired man taunted.

"Shut up! Is it a principal?"

"Nope, and times out."

You looked down to see the timer going off. You groaned and looked back up at Denki.

"What was it?" you asked.

"It was a president," he said while erasing the board.

You groaned again and let your body fall onto the carpeted floor. Denki set the board aside and sat next to you.

"Pictionary's getting kinda boring. Wanna make it more interesting?" he asked.

"Interesting how?" you questioned, sitting up.

"Let's say whoever the loser is, has to pay the winner 500 yen."

"Do you have the money for that?"

He paused and reached for his wallet. Looking inside, he concluded he had enough money to gamble with.

"Alright, I go next. Set the timer up," you said.

You grabbed the board and thought of what you were going to draw. It had to be difficult, difficult to the point where he'd lose all his money to you.

You quickly thought of something and told him to start the timer. You began to draw a picture of someone.

You turned the board and let him start guessing.

"Huh?! Who the hell is that?" he exasperated.

You laughed lightly and drew a bit more. You gave the drawing a fancy-looking toga and sandals.

You turned the board again and let him guess again.

"A Greek person? A roman?!"

You shook your head and drew something in the background. A building made of stone and columns.

You turned the board around one last time, certain he wasn't going to get it.

"Is that a building? What is this?!" he cried frantically.

Before he could say anything else, the timer went off.

"Damnit! What was it?" he asked.

"It was an aristocrat," you laughed.

"WHAT- How was I supposed aristocrat from that?!" he exclaimed frustratedly.

"I'll explain," you said erasing the board.

"Ok, so I tried drawing a patrician because they made up the aristocracy in Rome right? What were patricians a part of? The Senate, so I drew that thinking it resemble some sort of government building," you explained.

You looked up to see the man staring at you dumbfounded. He rubbed the side of his head and muttered something.

"I knew I should've paid attention in history, what the fuck," he murmured, slightly annoyed.

"You know I'm getting you back for this right? You think you can pick something ridiculously hard and get away with it?" he challenged, taking the board from your grasp.

"Uh yes? It's not my fault you didn't pay attention in class. Now stop complaining and start," you responded playfully.

He rolled his eyes and started drawing. He turned the board around for you to guess.

You looked at the board to see an extremely uneven circle with an odd expression on it.

"Denki what hell is that?"

He shrugged his shoulders in response and just told you to guess.

"A face? A head?" you guessed.

He shook his head and kept the board in its place.

"Time's running out," he teased.

You started panicking internally.

"I can't lose! I refuse to give this man squat!" you mentally yelled.

While you were getting lost in your head, the timer went off.

"Oh no, looks like the timer ended. Too bad," he snickered.

You were brought back to reality and sighed. "Yeah, yeah, now what was it?" you asked.

"It was mortified."

You scrunched up your face in annoyance and took the board from him one last time.

"Ok I've thought of something, start it up."

He started the timer one last time and you began to draw. You finished the drawing and turned it around for him to see.

"A card? Credit card? Debit?"

You shook your head, relishing that you'd soon be 500 yen richer.

"OH! Is it a license?" he guessed.

"Are you serious-"

He pumped his arms in the air, knowing he was the winner.

You threw the board aside and faced the other way.

"I was gonna use that money to buy a sandwich," you muttered sadly.

"Bye-bye sandwich," you thought.
