A/N: Another birthday present, this time for Tatsumi, I posted these at the right time on my Ao3 I promise lol

Ah, HiMERU hated this, absolutely despised having to pretend he was a friend of Kazehaya Tatsumi's. Kazehaya Tatsumi... the name made him want to throw up, the name tasted bitter on the tip of his tongue, he wanted to spit it out like the venom it was, but it always came out soft, polite, laced with entirely fake fondness and adoration for the man he despised so much. This part of being HiMERU was easily his least favourite, he had to tread lightly around the feelings of a man he would much rather trample all over. What he wouldn't give to knock Tatsumi off of his saintly pedestal and crush him under his feet. Alas, he had to always be endlessly polite, betraying every single one of his true emotions, so when Tatsumi came up to him with such a gentle expression asking if HiMERU wanted to join him on a car ride, his only choice was to smile softly and say yes, it was Tatsumi's birthday after all, HiMERU might not care about that, but his brother definitely would have.

All things considered, this wasn't the worst car ride HiMERU's ever been on. Sure, Tatsumi was going slightly over the speed limit, but they had at least not hit anything (yet). HiMERU was honestly surprised, he was used to fearing for his life everytime he stepped into a car with Kazehaya Tatsumi, maybe he had finally learned to drive properly? Tatsumi had been making small talk for the whole drive, luckily, HiMERU had perfected the art of making conversations go stale in the most polite way possible, but unluckily, Tatsumi was way too persistant with talking to HiMERU for his own good, seriously how is it even possible to continue a conversation after "HiMERU thinks the weather is alright today."? It was honestly quite impressive, but HiMERU would rather swallow his own tongue than ever admit that he was impressed by anything Tatsumi did.

HiMERU had been looking at his phone for the whole car ride, occasionally piping up when Tatsumi asked him a question, he couldn't seem rude, he was supposed to be this insufferable man's friend after all. He felt the car coming to a stop, that was strange, Tatsumi usually ran red lights when possible. He glanced up from his phone, oh, fate must really hate HiMERU. HiMERU could see nothing but cars out of the window, not one moving an inch, great, just great. HiMERU could overhear people complaining, someone mentioned the cause of this traffic jam as a horrific car crash. HiMERU groaned, if that was the case they could be stuck here for hours. "Ah, this is bad luck, isn't it HiMERU-san?" ... HiMERU didn't think he could last a few hours in the same car with Tatsumi without killing him, or himself, either one sounded fine to HiMERU. Definitely preferable to spending any extended period of time with the Saint Bastard. "Indeed it is, HiMERU hopes we will not be stuck here for long, it would be quite inconvenient." Inconvient was putting it lighter than fresh whipped cream, Tatsumi was disgusting enough to be around for any amount of time, HiMERU thought he might actually lose his mind if he had to be stuck alone with him for any longer than half an hour, and that's being generous.

HiMERU honestly thought it couldn't get any worse, but then his phone's battery died, fate must seriously have it out for him huh. HiMERU placed his dead phone down with a sigh, turning his attention to a fidgety looking Tatsumi. "Is there anything wrong Tatsumi?" HiMERU truly didn't care whether Tatsumi was okay or not, but what kind of friend wouldn't ask? "It's nothing really HiMERU-san, it's just that you said you were busy this afternoon, and I'm worried that you may be late because of this." Tatsumi's kindness made HiMERU feel sick, his genuine concern over him was disgusting. Where was that concern when Kaname needed you, you false prophet? Tatsumi's voice was the most annoying sound HiMERU had the displeasure of hearing, he would much rather listen to the scraping of a fork on a plate than listen to Tatsumi's unwanted kind words, can they even be counted as kind when they made HiMERU wish he was deaf?

"Fufu, HiMERU appreciates the concern, but it is not something you need to worry about, HiMERU is sure the rest of his unit will understand the circumstances." That was the truth, and both Rinne and Niki had no sense of punctuality regardless so even with the delay, there was a high chance he'd still be one of the first ones there. He did wish he could've messaged Kohaku however, the other two might not care what HiMERU was up to, but Kohaku tended to care a little too much. He didn't want to worry him, but there wasn't really much he could do. "Ah, I did think so. Fufu, in that case, let's enjoy the time we have together ☆" ...Gross.
