It was their last free day before exams and the football tournament, so they decided to visit the nearby mall. Despite planning to go alone, they were joined by the team's main goalkeeper, Genda.

— I'm really excited; it's a shame Sakuma and the rest of the team couldn't come. Although it surprises me that they all confirmed at first only to quickly remember they had other commitments... — spoke the boy with orange markings on his face, walking cheerfully alongside his friends, completely ignoring the icy glare from the one with a mohawk.

— Yeah, it's a pity — the buzz-cut one muttered while crossing his arms behind his head, trying to shoot a deadly look at the goalkeeper. Kazemaru found himself torn between amusement and embarrassment throughout the situation. Fudou, despite not saying it out loud, knew they had planned this day like a date.

— I just hope Sakuma feels better; luckily, he managed to give me a list of what he wanted to buy — mentioned the defender, holding a sheet where the team captain had listed his planned purchases. He also had a mental list of what to buy, assuming Fudou did too. He glanced discreetly at his not-yet-official partner, unable to hide a smile.

— You know, I've heard that people with a fever sometimes delirium. How bad would it be if Sakuma delirium alone in his room? — the midfielder blurted out, hoping to discourage their inconvenient companion from joining them. — "You're not going to ruin my plans, idiot" — he thought. Even though he had some affection for that guy, it wasn't enough to accept his company that day.

The brown-haired one with long hair suddenly halted his steps; doubt was written all over his face. He looked ahead, turned his head to see the school, and pondered on what should be his best course of action.

— I don't think that'll happen... or will it? — he observed the faces of his companions, seeking a signal of what he should do. Seeing the one with the ponytail shaking his head and the buzz-cut one feeling quite confident, he hesitated again. — But I suppose if that happens, I could call someone from the infirmary to help him... — a part of him debated whether to go to the mall or stay behind to take care of his best friend. Biting his lip, he decided it was best to return and look after his friend. He would have a chance to go with him on the next free day. — You know what, I think it's best if I stay... — he said quickly as he waved goodbye and rushed back to the school.

— Poor thing, you really scared him... — the one with the ponytail said as he bid farewell to the guy with a gesture. The mohawk guy just shrugged.

— It's something that could happen or not; he'll never know. — he smiled, satisfied that he had achieved his goal. He had managed to get rid of almost all the team members. He would have counted on Sakuma and Genda, but he knew he could easily get rid of them too. Although he hadn't counted on the first one falling ill, dealing with three people was more complicated, especially without hurting their feelings. — Now, let's hurry. I really want to eat a hamburger. — he extended a hand to the defender, who, somewhat surprised and a little flushed, accepted it, and so they walked towards their destination.

After arriving and enjoying the long-awaited hamburger that the rebellious guy wanted, they decided to go shopping before watching the movie they had planned. They strolled through various stores, looking at clothes, phone accessories, but so far, they hadn't bought anything until they stopped at a candy store.

— Look, I used to eat these when I was a kid. — the sky-blue-haired one pointed to small bags containing fish-shaped cookies filled with matcha-flavored chocolate. — I'll buy some to have. — he took a few, then continued to see what else was available. The brown-haired one decided to take a few more just in case his guy ran out. Both grabbed a considerable amount of sweets and snacks, including those requested by the team captain.

That's how they spent most of their day, looking at shop windows, feeling affectionate, buying what they had planned, and what their sick friend had asked for. Hand in hand, they walked through the entire mall, enjoying the stroll and each other's company. It was late when they decided it was best to return to the dormitories to get a good night's rest for the exhausting day they had the next morning and possibly the rest of the week.

— Your room or mine? — green eyes, while making a suggestive gesture with his eyebrows, although he knew it was a joke, the former Raimon member couldn't help but blush while laughing.

— Well, I think the first thing will be to visit our friends and leave them their purchases... After that, we could go to your room since it's closer... — he said the last part with a flirtatious tone, an invitation to something more than just sleeping for the first time.

— Let's go. — Fudou replied with a smile, pleased with how everything had turned out. A good day of shopping and rest.
