I'll miss him here, but it's probably really good to go home, right?

[steadier]

For him, yeah. When people leave, it only changes things for the people still here.

[serveivor]

that makes sense...

:(

will you be okay, daichi? want to meet up for dinner?

[steadier]

I'd like that, yeah. What about you? He wasn't only my friend.

[nifty evade there]

[serveivor]

[Daichi, you're awful.]

You didn't answer both questions...

Meet you in two hours?

[Equally as awful. They can cry together over pork buns or something.]

[steadier]

[The tricks that worked against the underclassmen don't work with his peers. He's learning this now.]

And you didn't answer mine at all.

That sounds good. Thanks, Asahi.

[serveivor]

I guess we're both pretty bad, huh.

I'll see you then. What are you in the mood for?

[steadier]

We'll deal with it later.

I don't know. I already had pizza and bento today so what're you thinking?

[serveivor]

exactly :)

Want to go for ramen? I'm kind of in the mood for noodles.

[steadier]

That sounds perfect, actually. I'll see you there?

[For once in his life, Daichi might be a little bit late to something, but to his credit, he's jogging when he comes up, all apologies.]

Sorry, sorry. I lost track of time, I hope you weren't waiting long.

[serveivor]

ok :)

[And Asahi isn't too late, mostly because he'd been spending it doing what he does best: being a hermit. He easily waves off Daichi's concerns with a smile.]

Not long at all. I guess you were working up your appetite, huh?

[steadier]

Something like that. It's been weird, all day people have been talking to me about food.

[It reminds Daichi of how people behave around a funeral, but he's working very hard to not think about that. Instead, ramen. What a good idea.]

I didn't even know there was a ramen place here. Have you been here before?

[serveivor]

Guess everyone wants to make sure you're fed?

[But he's starting to get that similar vibe. At least dinner will be chill. At the question, Asahi nods, smiling.]

It's pretty good. I came with Nishinoya once.

[steadier]

One thing I have never had trouble doing is eating.

[Today's been no exception, though that is in large part due to people reminding him. He settles into his chair when they're seated, offering Asahi a smile.]

I guess that means you must be settling in all right, though, if you're finding restaurants I didn't even know about.

[serveivor]

[Asahi laughs softly. At least he knows Daichi isn't broken.] That's always a good thing.

B-but yeah, I guess I am. Nishinoya drags me out a lot.

[steadier]

[It's hard to break Daichi. Not knowing when he's going to see his best friend again is hard, but knowing he's all right wherever he is helps a lot.]

That makes sense. I couldn't have picked a better roommate for you; the landlord did one thing right with that.

[Look how diplomatic he is even while wanting to strangle ll.]

[serveivor]

[Daichi, you're good, strong people.

There's a nervous laugh there. He appreciates the familiarity, but not so much the noise.]

I... y-yeah. I guess it's good that it's people I'm familiar with.

[steadier]

[He does try. The desire to strangle is still strong.]

Where else have you guys been going? I feel like there's a lot of this place I haven't seen yet.

[serveivor]

[Resist, stay out of jail.]

A few other places. There's a pizza place that I like, we can go there next time.

[steadier]

Like Western style pizza? That sounds good, I'd like that.

[He glances at the menu then back up at Asahi.]

So... how are you?

[How are you taking it, more like.]

[serveivor]

Then we'll definitely go there! It's buffet style too, Nishinoya wanted to challenge me to an eating contest next time we went.

[So he's avoiding it, given how fast he looks around the area. And he really wants to avoid this one too. Gross, feelings.]

Well... Ah, turn here. [Directions. Directions are good.]

[steadier]

[Daichi does as he's told since, well, Asahi is the one taking him there, after all. He grins at the idea of an eating contest, though. The rest of the team will carry on. Things will be fine.]

I think Noya'd cream you if it was a timed thing, but for amount I think you could take him. Let me know if you need a ref for this.

[serveivor]

[Asahi grimaces a little, turning away to glance back down the path.]

That's awful, knowing I'd lose... We'll come again and just pretend it's a loss.

[steadier]

[Daichi frowns and rolls his eyes a little.]

I didn't say you'd lose! It depends on conditions. Or do you really think he can eat more than you?

[serveivor]

You should see him at home. He's pretty vicious.

[And he turns away.] I'll probably get indigestion and lose.
