"Valt! [First name]! Stop it! I'm just fine!"


"B-But, if you carry your bag, won't it feel too heavy?"


"I already said I'm fine, so just drop it! Give it to me!"


"But Shu!"


You gripped the strap of Shu's bag rather protectively while the boy in question had his hand outstretched with the intention of ripping it away from you. Valt, however, stood in front of you protectively in an attempt to prevent Shu from taking it. The classroom you three were in was empty, completely undisturbed, and silent aside from the fight you three were having.


Long story short, you worried for his health regardless of what he might say. Humans are delicate, you know this, and you didn't want to see him getting hurt even more because of his stubbornness. So you chimed in whenever he needed help. Picking up heavy things for him, asking him if he was okay frequently, and more little things you thought Shu needed assistance in. Valt seemed to agree with you on this notion as he fully supported you and did the same thing the entire day.


"I swear the two of you are incredibly. . .argh. . .annoying!" Shu spat, shoving a finger in your face. His eyes narrowed and full of irritation as he stares at the two of you in frustration. "You've been acting like this. All. Day. I'm fine! I'm able to move! I don't need to be babysat!"


"But you're hurt!" Valt shouts, "How can we just leave you like that?"


"For the last time," Shu huffs, his free hand attempting to reach out for his bag but Valt immediately got in the way. Shu quietly growls, his eyebrow twitching in annoyance as his glare hardens. "I just—stop! Give it back!"


A brown dog puppet pops out of the hallway door, Kensuke's body coming soon after. "Woah. . .these three havin' an argument?"

"That's not somethin' you see every day," Ker follows soon after.


"Hmm?" Rantaro appears behind him with a curious look etched on his face. One glance at the trio was all it took for him to feel the exact same tension that filled the room. "Woah, if they're having a fight, then it must be serious. . ." Rantaro noticed you and Valt open your mouths to continue the argument, but Rantaro beat you to it. "Hey! You two!"


You lowered Shu's bag downward, [e/c] eyes staring at the blonde before switching toward the clock. "What're you two doing here?" You asked, "It's not time for club activities yet."


Shu took this opportunity of you being distracted and snatched his bag back. You flinched as did Valt as Shu turns around in slight frustration. "Listen, Kiyama," Shu says, swinging it over his shoulder. "Nothing's happening. There is no fight."


"No! There is a fight!" Valt stood his ground while you crossed your arms. He quickly faced Rantaro, "Shu's shoulder is hurt!"


"'Hurt'?" Kensuke used Beus to repeat.


"Don't listen to him," Shu shook his head, "I'm fine. I'm all better."
