It was a regular Friday evening in the Itoshi household. It was practically your second home.

Your parents have been close friends with the Itoshi parents, leading to a close bond between you and the brothers. Even though they didn't make it all too obvious, it was there. Maybe.

Due to an unexpected business trip, your parents went out of town for the week. You decided to crash at their place, as Auntie and Uncle were more than willing to let you stay. However, there was a slight condition.

Sae was in town. Meaning his room wasn't empty, and you had to share it with him. It was arguably better than sharing with Rin, who didn't want to in the first place, but... you would make it work. Hopefully.

It was around 7 PM when you finally finished your homework and wanted to get something to eat. So, you walked to the kitchen and fixed yourself a bagel with cream cheese.

Soon after, Sae, wearing a white form-fitting shirt and basketball shorts, came out of his room. He looked at you blankly before approaching.

"Freeloading tax." The boy said flatly, opening his mouth for you to give him a bite.
