S1 E1: Beginning From 1

(WARNING THIS STORY CONTAINS VULGAR LANGUAGE)

Staring up outside into the beautiful night sky...man I could never get tired of this.

???: Oi, Jiro! Could you come inside? I need you to pay for something...

-Rolling my eyes in annoyance, I figured my best friend would ask me this-

Jiro: Wassup, Natsuki.

Subaru: (Grinning) Oh don't be that way, Jiro.

Jiro: Well...If I could recall, you asked me about money.

Subaru: Yeah, are you broke?

Jiro: Not anymore. I got a job remember.

Subaru: So, I was wondering---Can you buy this ramen container for me? Please? I---

Jiro: (Interrupts) "I would be eternally grateful" When haven't I heard that line before....

Subaru: Um, not from me...obviously.

Jiro: Whatever. Move over, bro...I'll pay for it all.

Subaru: Thank you, Ren!

Jiro: Uh huh.

-Swiping his card to officially pay for the items-

Jiro: If you don't mind following me, I wanna buy some food on the way too.

Subaru: Alright, lead on.

-Walking through the aisles, I spotted a bag of chips, soda, popcorn, toothpicks and an exotic magazine. As I felt someone watching me from behind, I turned over to see Subaru with a cheeky ass smile on him-

Subaru: Why don't you go ahead and buy it, perv?

Jiro: (Blushing) I am not as low unlike you to get such things. I am slightly younger than you anyway. Couldn't get it if I wanted...unless---

Subaru: Guess you're right. Anyways, just wanna check up. Got everything you need.

Jiro: Almost...give me a sec

Subaru: No worries, I'll be standing over here to the magazine section.

-Finally grabbing my last item, extra soda ain't bad...right? Any-who, I found Subaru once the search was over, watching a cute couple pass by...man he shouldn't worry so much about women all the time...but we are hormonal teenagers so I can't blame him...just pity I feel.-

Jiro: Hey, Natsuki. Ready?

Subaru: Y-yeah....

Jiro: Everything alright?

Subaru: (Fake smile) Of course, I'm Subaru Natsuki...you know me.

Jiro: Okay then...(feeling awkward) I'll be right back. Need to pay for these stuff..

-I stood near the cash register and paid for the groceries, now we can go-

Jiro: I'm done, Natsuki.

Subaru: Yup, let's go.

-Exiting the door, we began to talk about personal things while we waiting at the other end of the crosswalk-

Jiro: I know you've been distracted inside the store. What's bothering you?

Subaru: Nothing, Ren. Don't worry---

Jiro: Why? Do you not understand---how much I care? Be honest, Subaru. Are you "worried' about not finding a girl yet?

Subaru: W-what? How did you find out?
