Tetsurou sighed.
He had a complete meal with fish, squid, vegetables, and rice, which he lovingly prepped the previous night. He was fairly cheery then just like any other day, well, that's what the appearance of his lunch looked like. Despite that, Tetsurou didn't have much of an appetite, especially from all his sulking. Being the typical archetype males, his friends didn't ask him what was bothering him though.
The wooden chopsticks the boy held loosely in his fingers simply poked at the unwanted pieces of the meal. Maybe he was expecting them to complain. Tetsurou thought that he definitely would have if he was a part of someone's meal. He kept nudging them from side to side as if he was trying to convince himself to eat. Kenma and Bokuto simply stole glances at him silently, the atmosphere Tetsurou's been didn't encourage conversation. Akaashi didn't seem to mind at all and ate his bento meal. Tetsurou kept poking and nudging his food until his gray-haired friend couldn't take it anymore.
"What the hell is the matter with you," Koutarou scolded irritably at Tetsurou. "Don't abuse your food! If you don't like your food, I'll eat them myself!"
"Stay the fuck away from my food!" Tetsurou yelled and shielded his precious meal. "You got yours, let me have mine!"
"Huh?! What do you mean?! You clearly don't want your food; if you do you should've eaten it ages ago!" Bokuto yelled back while pointing his chopsticks at Tetsurou.
"Is something on your mind Kuro?" Kenma suddenly asked without bothering to lift his eyes from his phone.
The four stayed at their usual lunch spot outside the cafeteria that's airconditioned. Everyone else avoided staying outdoors, although there was a few who enjoyed the breeze. Compared to the cafeteria, the outdoors was far quieter. Tetsurou could kid around with his former rival Kotarou without needing to be so conscious about how boisterous they could be. They even had two quiet pairs to even out the chemistry, much to the former two's dismay.
But seeing Tetsurou so quiet and serious was a new sight. Maybe he was upset even as if someone popped his bubble of ego. That was the only plausible explanation.
"Did something happen with Shirai-san?" Kenma asked abruptly with a deadpan look on his face.
Of course Tetsurou wouldn't answer immediately, Kenma knew the answer even without his friend needing to reply. But he found the big dude a tad bit pathetic for sulking. He should've saw this coming, Mitsuru was simply someone who didn't interact with anyone--she was antisocial.
