As the bell rings, it indicates the little ones to go play outside and eat for recess. Chuuya Nakahara, and his other classmates coming from Mori-sensei's class, have their own little table where they all chat and have fun, but, while his friends circle around the table, he heads on down to the swings, sit on one of them, while being greeted with a certain brunette reading then immediately beaming with joy as he sees Chuuya.
"Chibi! I missed you~" He says as he nuzzles his face onto the small ginger's collarbone.
"Stop with the nickname, you're a chibi too! ..And we we've only been apart for 2 hours because you were a big sleepy head earlier and dragged me with you to be late!"
"Mm, at least we didn't had to not see each other for another 10 minutes so it was all worth it!" The small pest then sat down to the swing beside the redhead's as he places his bento in his lap.
"Let's just eat already, meanie." He then unwraps the bento made by one of the ladies in the Orphanage, to which he called 'Ane-san', while the brunette could only chuckle in response.

As the two are having their little conversations here and there, out in the distance their teachers, Mori and Fukuzawa, talk about the inseparable relationship the two kids have.
"It seems like Dazai-kun intentionally made Chuuya-kun late earlier this morning, so that they can see each other 10 minutes less."
"Yes I have ears, Mori-san, I know.."
Mori ignored the white-haired man's comment and continued;
"For us to separate them, we simply just ask them to do something that involves them being far away from each other for the whole recess."
"Unfortunately, we do have to separate them yes, because they're too focused on each other that they forget about their classmates, this is for their sakes."
"Now then Fukuzawa-dono, let's make this quick."

As the old men approaches the duo by the swings, Fukuzawa spoke first;
"Dazai-kun, can you help me in cleaning the classroom for our next activity?.."
"Fukuzawa-sensei, are you turning old now and your eyes are bad? I am not Kunikida-kun, as you can see."
A twitch in Fukuzawa's eye as he got offended in being called old. "Now now Dazai, I am positive that you are not Kunikida, and I am asking for your help in cleaning the classroom."
Dazai pouted and pointed at the ginger "But I'm with Chuuya."

"Well Dazai-kun, I was just about to ask Chuuya-kun here to accompany me to the Cafeteria and help Kouyou get ready for lunch later." Mori butted in, as he 'helps' pack Chuuya's bento and help him stand up.
"Mori-sensei, it's still recess? Lunch is in 3 more hours?" Chuuya confusedly asked.
"Yes but we're helping Ane-san in preparing dessert!"

Startled and little, the two couldn't do anything but follow their teacher's orders— I mean, requests.
They head on separate ways and wonder when they were gonna see each other again because there is still 24 minutes until recess ends, while lunch is in a couple of hours more..

Dazai, being an impatient child, he asked for permission from Fukuzawa to go to the bathroom and wash, mainly to clear the thought of the ginger in his head, and secondly, because he accidentally slipped and his hands caught him and the floor in Kenji's spilled milk from earlier. As he does that in the bathroom, not even a minute in, and a certain ginger made its way inside the bathroom, with cream and toppings all over his tiny hands.
"Chuuya? What happened to your hands?" As he licked some of the icings in the ginger's fingers, making the owner of said fingers squeak in surprise.
"Oi! It may be dirty, you slob.." "Also this is nothing, I just got into a little accident with the desserts.."
"Chuuya made desserts?! Can I have some??" Said the little brunette with a ton of dazzling stars gleaming in his eyes.
Chuuya flicked Dazai's forehead and pointed a finger at him "Idiot, It's for lunch time later!"
Dazai chuckled as he continued washing his sticky hands, Chuuya was now the one asking questions.
"What happened to you?"
"I slipped and caught myself with my hands, but the floor was where Kenji spilt his milk earlier."
"Oh.." The ginger now reached to the brunette's hands and helped him scrub it. "L-let me help.. I-it's disgusting so I want it clean! Don't think of a-anything weird ok?!"
"Whatever you say Chibi~"

Unsurprisingly, the two returned to their teachers by the time the bell rang. Mori and Fukuzawa sighed in defeat and hope for a next time..
