Sweet rays of the afternoon scattered around the hectares of land owned by the Kambe's, the overused scenario of the birds chirping on the background currently playing on the area. The wind is rather lovely as it slithered its way towards the neck of a certain (h/c) haired girl, making her shiver in return.

Amidst the calming environment that she was currently in, the young woman still feels the other way around. A bored sigh came out of her as she plopped herself on the grass and rolled on it like some dog that was currently experiencing some tick problems.

"What are you doing?" (Y/N) paused on her childish actions before looking up to see Daisuke standing over her. She ignored the said man and continued to spin around the ground.

The ravenette did not step away from his current position as he patiently waited for the girl to stop what she was doing and respond to his question. She noticed the boy still around the vicinity, persuading her to cease for a moment with her face planted on the grass-covered soil.

"I'm rolling on the grass, just in case your eyes can't tell that." Her words were muffled since she was still facing the ground but were still clear enough for him to understand. She finally faced him without leaving her comfortable position of having her back resting on the cold yet surprisingly cozy dirt, catching sight of his ice-blue orbs looking down at her.

"Wanna join me?" An immature grin was slowly painted on her face that has some patches of grime and dust on while persuading him. Daisuke did not say anything but just sat down beside her resting form, putting his hand on the ground to support his body.

A feeling of peculiarity started to tingle on his spine since the coldness of the ground was now felt by him through his pants. (Y/N) placed both of her hands at the back of her head and made it as her pillow, scanning the sky with the clouds wonderfully painted all around it. The scenery was very much relaxing that she would have already drifted to sleep if Daisuke did not spoke out of nowhere.

"Do you do that always?" 

"What? Are you talking about my random stealing of food from your bedroom refrigerator?" The ravenette tried to process what the girl spatted, only to be disturbed by her clearing her throat. 

"Oh- you mean this lying on the ground?" She choked out some nervous laughter while shoving the sugar-free protein bar that she snatched from his food storage deeper in her pants' pocket. 

Daisuke nodded while maintaining his gaze on her expression. It was the first time that he saw her deep in thought after almost a year of them knowing each other. This fact pushed him to be curious on what she was about to respond despite the simplicity of his question.

"Well.. sometimes. I technically consider everything as my bed." 

The ravenette lightly smiled with how straightforward and unusual her response was. There was a solid minute of silence since he does not have the heart to interrupt whatever it is that was going on her mind. He tried to follow where she was looking, his sight shifting towards the now orange tinted sky that was waiting for the sun to set for the night. 

(Y/N) puffed out a huff as she sat up, dusting her top before looking at the distracted boy that was currently glancing at the vastness of the heavens above them.

 A bright idea popped in her mind as she took this opportunity to sneak out of the place and have her leave. Her time-out is 7 P.M. but she was already done analyzing and encoding his case reports a few hours ago. She couldn't wait for another two hours since she really wants to visit the new meat shop that was said to sell beef jerkies for a very low price.

She slowly stood up from her sitting position, doing her best to make the slightest noises.  However, since the ravenette was literally sitting beside her, he immediately sensed her sudden leaving. He turned to look at the young woman, catching her tiptoeing like the fox thief from a kid's show about a kid who keeps on lurking around the different parts of their town with her monkey friend.

(Y/N), who got caught sneaking, fixed her composure before clearing her throat as if nothing happened. She pointed towards a certain direction, aiming to distract the boy's attention off of her.

"Hey! Look! There's a deer in your yard!" Daisuke raised his eyebrow in disbelief, his sight strained on the girl who tried to lure his gaze elsewhere. The young woman huffed in disappointment, her face slowly clouded with embarrassment after failing to sidetrack her boss' attentiveness away from her.

"JUST LOOK AT WHERE I'M POINTING AT SO THAT I COULD HAVE MY GRAND ESCAPE!"
