“FOUR MONTHS.” Inunaki looked at Meian in defeat.
“What’s he talking about??” Hinata was at a loss.
“You looked so happy that it wasn’t dying, though” Meian tried, failing to defend himself.
“FOUR MONTHS YOU WATCHED ME WATER A FAKE PLANT.”
That’s when everyone burst out laughing. Almost everyone low-key knew the plant that Inunaki religiously took care of was fake, but didn’t have the heart to tell him. Meian thought about telling him about a thousand times per day. Inunaki was just so proud of himself. To be honest, he thought it was kind of cute.
Bokuto and Hinata had almost slipped up and said something basically every time they saw him water it. Sakusa couldn’t care less, Atsumu and Barnes thought it was the most hilarious thing ever, and Adriah praised him for his ‘green thumb’ because he didn’t even know it was fake.
“Baby, I’m sorry I didn’t tell you. I’ll buy you a real plant soon, okay?” Meian was trying to bargain at this point.
“Hmph, fine” Inunaki huffed as he kissed Meian on the cheek and stomped off.
