[Earth has a saying: The people who matter don't mind, and the people who mind don't matter. While definitely harsher than something Hiroto would ever speak out loud, the meaning of the phrase rings mostly true. No one at Sun Garden did anything that was 'trouble' for them. Everything they did was with every ounce of love and care of their hearts. And to them, Midorikawa needed more than usual. Hiroto was always the driving force behind their enthusiasm. His caring nature often made him the leader everyone followed because they wanted to, not because they had to.

And with the way Hiroto's looking at him, he can only hope that Midorikawa gets that feeling too. That he's not trouble--he's just in need of some help.

That's what made them strong in the first place--looking out for each other.]

They did. They said that...[He laughs a little, turning so that he can continue this conversation as they continued down the hall.] 'We ask for seconds anyway, so he can have the first.'

No one can really fault that logic, right?

[His hand gives his friend's a little squeeze, his voice nothing more than its natural whisper.]

They insisted, when I considered saving mine. [Which he did anyway.] So...I snuck mine away too, so we could eat it together.

[Because eating food WITH someone is always better than one person alone.]
