Chapter Text
The walk home was pleasant for both of them, as they now became official. The two held hands and walked to the neighborhood before departing in opposite directions.
“We’ll just so happen to meet at Mami Cafe on our day off, right?” Kokomi sarcastically said, pulling Kuriko into a hug as they stood outside her house.
“Mhm,” Kuriko agreed in the form of a mumble, more focused on the hug. “I’ll see you tommorow there.”
“Goodbye, Kuriko.” Kokomi said, waving as usual.
“Goodbye, Kokomi.” Kuriko said, and she waved back.
Up in her room, Kuriko fiddled with the box that Kokomi gifted her before deciding to actually dig in.
She ate one. Then another. Then another. The taste mixed onto her taste buds before it dawned into her.
“Some are hazelnut, and some are coffee flavoured.” She realized, staring at a singular Pocky stick.
How could she not chuckle at least a little? She smiled, tracing the edges of the box along her fingers.
“I wanna stay like Kuriko forever.” She said out-loud.
“It wouldn’t be weird if Saiki Kusuo suddenly decide to study abroad and Saiki Kuriko took his place, right?” She muttered, snarkily grinning.
