"You. Sit here."

Nanon reached out and dragged Chimon down onto the seat next to him, leaving Ohm to sit by himself on the opposite side.

Both boys quirked an eyebrow at their younger friend's insistence, having gotten used to Nanon and Ohm sitting together so that Ohm can pester Nanon to feed him.

The hurt that briefly flashed across Ohm's eyes didn't go unnoticed by Nanon who was just about ready to take it back when he remembered his bet with Chimon.

Too bad he was not going to give in so easily. Especially when they are just three regular friends eating dinner together. Seating arrangement shouldn't even be an issue!

Chimon noted how Nanon made sure to order all of Ohm's favorites so when he quirked an eyebrow at his super obvious friend, Nanon quickly added a few of Chimon's favorites. Ohm was left completely oblivious, just smiling happily because he was excited to eat.

"Soooooo, what's new?" Ohm directed to Chimon.

"Mhm, just working as usual. Have you see any episodes of The Player?"

Nanon chimes in. "Yeah, we watched you together the other day."

"Oh I see~ together huh?" Chimon took a pointed sip of tea.

Nanon's lips flattened into a tight smile. Dammit.

Ohm carried on enthusiastically. "Yep. Nanon slept over that day too, since we had work the next day."

"Oh did he now?" The corner of Chimon's lips twitched upwards in amusement. "I'm sure he liked-"

"OW!"

Nanon smiled as he gave a good stomp on Chimon's foot, only it was Ohm's instead.

"Non! Why'd you step on me??" Ohm winced in pain but his concern seemed to be on the flustered young man.

Nanon blurted apologetic words and gave the first lame excuse that his mind conjured up. "Sorry! M-my leg twitched!"

"Twitched? Are you okay?"

They totally didn't notice the way Chimon's eyes kept shifting between the two of them, mouth stuffed full of sushi so that they couldn't tell he was snickering.

"Y-yeah! I just pulled something during football practice!" Nanon started waving his hands and babbling nonsense.

Chimon was not above watching his friend flail around miserably.  He looked quite like an inflatable balloon man and it was rather amusing.

"O...kay?" Ohm tilted his head in slight confusion. He looked at Chimon with questioning eyes but his friend just shrugged and shoved another one of the more expensive pieces of sushi into his mouth.

"S-sorry about that Ohm..."

Ohm was rather confused by Nanon's unusual behavior at this point but realizing he had an opening, he quickly bounced back. "It's okay, just feed me some uni and we'll call it even."

The taller boy smiled to himself when he saw Nanon pout a little as he assembled his own favorite for Ohm, placing the rice and uni carefully into the crisp seaweed.

"Ahhh~" Ohm closed his eyes and opened his mouth wide to be fed.

Shyly, Nanon brought his hand up to soft lips (he knew this from experience).
