Nanba Shorties!

Bento

Kenshirou had his face practically buried in a stack of paperwork, busy enough to miss the door to his office creak open, yet he perked up when the metal clanged shut.

Hitoshi, strutting into the office draped in her white uniform, her gloved hands both clutching a melon pink vinyl briefcase.

"Ah, Hitoshi. You left something here last night."

Kenshirou pinched something out of a rusty metal filing cabinet.
Between his nails; a miniature pink doggy bento box fruit pick.

Hitoshi's eyes lit up when she released her briefcase to run over to his desk. She leaned over his computer to pluck the fruit pick from his fingertips.

"Omigosh! I can't believe you found it! I thought I lost iiiiit!"

Kenshirou regripped his pencil and focused back on his work.

"Yeah. You know Number 634 actually found it last night, in the tea room."

Hitoshi gently slipped the fork into the pocket of her blazer and truffled back over to her briefcase, unbuckling and swinging open the lid on the floor off the office.
Shuffling through her stuff;

"You know, it's such a shame! I really wanted to use it in your bento box! It would have been so perfect."

Hitoshi slipped the bento box onto the stack of paperwork, right between Kenshirou's busy hands, but he brushed it back.

"The gesture is appreciated, but bento boxes aren't my thing."

"Huh? Everybody loves a bento box! You didn't even look inside its so cutesy!!"

Hitoshi popped the top of the bento box.

A 3sectioned bento box; split into a half and two quarters.
Soy sauce and mirin stewed Nikujaga, with extra care put into the potatoes which were cut into stars and the beef was patiently sliced into thins.
Rice balls that were shaped into balls with cat ears and a face made up of roasted seaweed and sesame seed whiskers.
A colorful assortment of cherry and auburn tomatoes, sliced dragonfruit with the skin still on for the pop of magenta and cantaloupe and honeydew punched with a sakura blossum fruit cutter. A gold doggy pick stood straight up in one of the cantaloupe flowers.
And the icing on the cake, a red puppy dressing cup of ginger dressing lay among the rice cats.

"See? It would have been perfect with that dog pick!" She exclaimed, excitedly whipping it out from her blazer."

Kenshirou stared stunned at the presentation.
"You did all this for me?"

Hitoshi chuckled and joined Kenshirou behind his desk to look at her work from the same angle.

"Of course I did silly goose! Anything for the best boss ever!"
She patted him atop his military cap.

"Wow.."

".. Do you wanna have a picnic Supervisor?"

Kenshirou held out his hands and lifted the box softly off of the table and smiled.

"Why not."
