"Hey Shuichi!"

The dull clicking of heels echoed near the restaurant booths as they walked over to the table Shuichi was sitting at. His expression was his typical one, both hands were in his lap. Shuichi turned his head a bit to the right to look at the approaching person. "Oh, hello, Kaede." Shuichi responded. Kaede smiled sweetly and slid into the booth seat in front of him.

Ding!

Kaede paused for a bit before she took out her phone, then she looked at Shuichi, they both had an inconvenient expression. In order to make this a bit less awkward, she switched her gaze off of Shuichi and placed it on her phone screen. The notification was a message from Tsumugi, which was her hyperventilating about going on a date with her college crush, Rantaro. Kaede let out a giggle then put away her phone.

The two stared at each other, "So, what do you do in your free time?" Kaede had spoken, breaking the silence. Shuichi looked at Kaede like he had heard nothing, shaking his head, he had put his gaze back on Kaede, "Oh, I like to watch some movies." Shuichi responded.

Kaede smiled and Shuichi looked at her waiting for her to respond, Kaede was busy thinking about something, but she then shook her head to get everything out of her mind. "Well in my free time I teach Gonta how to play the piano or I'm trying to give Tsumugi advice on how to get Rantaro." Kaede replied.

"Hello, what would you like to order?"

The waiter's tone was softer than it was with the other group that was ordering. Kaede and Shuichi turned over to the waiter, "Ma'am can I—?" The waiter interrupted Kaede, "You can just call me Kirumi. No need to worry." Kirumi smiled at Kaede, "Well, Kirumi, can I please have chicken noodle soup?" Kaede smiled as Kirumi had written down the order. "Can I please have some salad?" Shuichi had then ordered. Kirumi wrote down the last order and walked away.

"The food was pretty good, don't you think Shuichi?"

Shuichi nodded at Kaede's question, there then was a notification sound from Shuichi's pocket. He then took out his phone and his gaze went on his phone screen, "Oh, I have a case, I have to leave, sorry." Shuichi looked up at Kaede who was grabbing all of her stuff, "Don't worry, I thought it was about time we left!" Kaede gave him a smile. Shuichi smiled a bit, then he began to get up to leave. "Oh, yeah let me go pay." Shuichi muttered. "I already payed!" Kaede exclaimed. Shuichi and Kaede said their goodbyes and both left.
