“Salmon!”

The word left Inumaki’s lips with excitement, though he quickly accentuated it with a nod to quell the waiter’s somewhat apparent confusion. You don’t know quite how you got here, but you now found yourself sitting on the opposite side of your classmate at some outdoorsy restaurant with menus in your hands. Although, now that you were really thinking about it, you weren’t really complaining considering the savory aroma that permeated from the establishment’s kitchen.

Originally, you were supposed to be grabbing lunch with all of your second-year schoolmates, but of course, Maki, Yuta, and Panda ended up bailing right at the end — leaving you alone with no other than Inumaki. Despite wishing everyone didn’t flake, you still found comfort in his company.

After you and Inumaki chattered, the waiter finally returned with your first round of orders, and you watched as they placed down trays of food with astonishment. Inumaki was definitely… a foodie. You could almost feel your jaw drop as he happily picked up his cutlery to dig into his first dish, meanwhile you had only gotten something light. It seems your classmate managed to catch onto this fairly quickly though, a snicker leaving his lips as he gently pushed some of the dish over to you.

“Tuna mayo?” He inquired, (‘Want some?’) with a teasing edge to his words.
