|a cup of bitter tea|

Haru's pov
______________________________________

After suffering the great boredom of waiting for Ari and Persephone to arrive haru decided to make tea with the remaining tea leafs he had,after all what's a good breakfast without something to drink, maybe after having a taste of his "tasty" and totally "delicious" tea Ari and Persephone would regret what they had said about his cooking skills and shower him with praises and love "I'm sorry for insulting your great cooking dear brother" Ari would say while Persephone says in delight "it's the best tea I've ever tasted,thanks haru!"
Haru smiled in pride and started brewing the tea thinking that the fantasy he had thought about would become reality

"It's bitter, awfully bitter" Ari and Persephone had just arrived with the berries and had settled down for breakfast they both said the words at the same time seconds after drinking haru's tea "I should have ate the berries last, maybe they could wash out the taste" Persephone gagged barely getting the words out of her mouth while poor Ari was shaking in the corner "what did you even place in there haru!?" Haru ignored them then stares at the cup of tea he had just made,it's color was as murky as the water in Golden wasteland, the annoying part in his mind had second thoughts I don't think their joking-
Shut up the other part of his mind told itself,with shakey fingers he tasted his own tea and unfortunately they really weren't joking the tea reminded him of all the bitter things he has tasted in his life, the strange plant that was growing in the dirt,the clear shiny mushrooms he saw in forest,the old rotten crab he had cooked once it was all coming back to him,haru quickly placed the cup down in regret he was going to admit that the tea was indeed horrible but his pride couldn't let him
"I-i don't see what's wrong with this lovely cup of tea" haru said desperately trying to wash out the taste by imagining his favorite foods "lovely cup of tea" Persephone repeated "er- yeah" haru replied while Ari rolls her eyes
