[hr]
As Asahi nervously sat beside his crush, he kept on eating bits and pieces of his food so it wouldn't be too awkward for him. Maybe it was a mistake to approach him since it looked like Sasuke was exhausted from wrestling with that monster of an animal from earlier. Asahi could understand that, but he couldn't just go and leave quickly when he just got there. 

So he waited, looking around him and contemplating the choices he made in his life that led him to this very moment. He could hear the sounds of nature all around their camp. Perhaps a little too well, in fact. Kunio and the others said it took them at least two hours to find a source of clean running water and yet Asahi could hear it like it was just a few minutes away from them. He heard this faint rumbling sound all over the place and panicked for a bit because he thought a group of beasts were charging at them, but it turned out he could hear the heartbeats of all his classmates. Several animals howling in the night, the wings of birds fluttering against trees, insects chirping, twigs snapping, leaves crunching, mouths breathing, mo-

It wasn't until Asahi heard Sasuke's voice that he got snapped out of his trance. He looked at him almost in shock, the light from the fire reflecting against his steel-grey eyes. Asahi felt grounded with the way he spoke to him, and his voice... Ugh. He felt he was melting just from hearing Sasuke's voice. He wanted Sasuke to speak more, to get to know him better, to try and take even the tiniest of peaks through the mysteriousness that was him.

Of course, Asahi couldn't have anything easy in life. Kumi, may the gods bless her heart, chose the wrong and most awkward moment to join one of the rarest instances where Asahi could speak to Sasuke. Asahi tried so hard not to look completely annoyed as he knew Kumi, again may the heavens show her grace, was only trying to be nice because she was a very nice person indeed.

[color=#fbb6cb]"Wow, Kumi. They look... great."[/color] He said, still not sure whether he should be very mad or just be slightly irritated at her. [color=#fbb6cb]Well, I'm sure they'll turn out really good like what you did back at our cafe but eh, if you insist."[/color] He put on the kindest smile he could muster as he took one of the balls and took a bite of it. [color=#fbb6cb]"It... Oh wow, it's-it's really good. How can you make grilled rice taste like this?"[/color] He asked in bewilderment as he took another bite, unknowingly moving closer to Sasuke until their shoulders were touching as he got interested in Kumi's cooking.
