It Was Always You, love triangles with no point!

Chapter 15 - Day 1 of the school field trip

The early morning sunbeams through the overcasting clouds, heating the humid air. The trees of Osaka Park bathe in the sunlight and absorb the surrounding moisture. Underneath the trees, in their shade, sitting, overcome by feelings of heatstroke, the large group of students and teachers wait for the tour of Osaka Castle Park.

Yon, along with his friends, sits on some nearby benches underneath the tree's shade.

"Why is it so hot?" Yon asks everyone.

"Well, it is the middle of summer." Sam answers him.

Yon and Kanna sit back to back, both sweating profusely. Sam and the others all look at them, thinking the same thought.

"They don't go outside much, do they?"

Yon stands up, loosening his school shirt to cool off.

"I'm going to get us some water."

Kanna shakes her head in agreement as Yon wanders off for water. The refrigerated vending machine makes a humming noise, and the glass fogs up because of the humidity. Yon has his face pressed up against the glass, trying to cool off. He shakingly lifts his wallet from his back pocket, pulling out five hundred yen for eight bottles of water.

He holds all eight bottles tightly against his chest, enjoying how cold they are. He smiles with relief and makes his way back to the group. Everyone else has now loosened their collars and is fanning themselves frantically with their guidebooks.

Kanna, fanning herself with her eyes closed, opens them to Yon, handing her a water bottle. He smiles at her with sweat running down his cheek. She smiles back, taking the water.

"Thank you."

Kanna twists the cap off and begins downing the water. Yon hands out the rest of the water to the rest of their friends. Ereen, who has been sitting with her eyes closed for quite some time, opens one eye to see Yon handing her a bottle of water. She scoffs, taking the water and turning away.

"Don't expect any thanks."

Yon gives her an annoyed look but is too hot to care. He walks away, while Ereen frantically uncaps the water bottle and drinks the water so fast, she chokes a little. Yon gives Sam and Lincoln water next, both of them happy and enjoying the heat.

"What do you mean, it's hot? This is great!"

"Yeah! I love weather like this."

"These two are freaks..."

Yon looks around for a moment, noticing that Kareen and Maka are nowhere to be seen.

"Hey Sam, where's Kareen and Maka?"

"Hmm? Oh yeah."

She downs some water quickly.

"Ah! Yeah, they're running late, apparently. Kareen sent me a message this morning. Just give me those two water bottles, and I'll give them their water."

Yon smirks and gives her a suspicious look, and whispers under his breath.

"You and Lincoln will probably drink them."

"What was that?"

"Nothing! Here you go."

Yon hands over the water bottles, ready to fall over from heatstroke. He once again wanders off, looking like a zombie. He makes it over to Yui, who is sitting by herself on a bench. Yon stumbles over and plants himself aggressively on the bench, scaring Yui.

"Ah- Oh. Yon, it's you. Are you ok?"

"Uhhhh." Yon groans.

Yon looks over at her, a creepy look on his face, unable to speak words.
