"So? Where are you taking me to?" A voice belonging to a certain silver-haired idol asked as him and his friend walked side by side in a school hallway.
"Hmmm~? Didn't you tell me you'd let me take you anywhere?" The other replied, a slight spring in his step. "Maybe I'll make you run away with me to a foreign country ~"
"Haah? No way. I have a modeling job coming up soon."
"So you would come along with me if you didn't?"
"I- Shut up and just tell me where we're going. If you put in all that effort during practice, it has to be something of significance."
"We're almost there so be patient, Secchan~" Ritsu hummed, taking Sena's hand in his. They were as soft as always. Especially compared to Ritsu's own. Nacchan usually puts hand cream on them during these winter months but that just made his hands all sticky.
Ritsu soon stopped. The door in front of them had a cutely decorated sign titled 'tea club' It was similar to the name board his dear Maa-kun's sister had on her door.
"Haah!? No way, I'm going back!" The silver-haired immediately said, turning his feet to leave before realizing Ritsu's hand was still holding his. And he didn't look like he'd be letting go any time soon.
"Ehh? Come on, Secchan~ I worked so hard in practice, didn't I? For a whole week too!!" Ritsu whined as he lightly stomped his feet. It was true! He sacrificed his precious nap time for that! Sure, both Sena and Tsukasa were really happy with that, but he still had to try!!
Sena stared at the ebony-haired for a while, trying to resist the cute pout on his face, before finally sighing. "Fine..Just this once, 'kay? Don't expect me to eat anything though!"
Ritsu smiled at that, you could almost feel his happiness radiating off of him as he opened the door to the club room, announcing his presence with a 'I'm home~'
"Ah! Ritsu-onii-chan! Welcome home! And with you is..Sena-senpai?" Hajime spoke up, delighted to see his beloved club-mate.
"Hm? Did you say Sena-kun's name just now?" A certain blonde perked up with curiosity. Why on Earth would Sena Izumi be here?
"Yeah yeah..Kuma-kun dragged me along, sorry for the intrusion." Sena replied, crossing his arms with a huff.
Hajime soon stood up from his seat, asking the silver-haired if he had a tea he preferred, only getting a 'get me anything that's healthy' back. It wasn't his fault he didn't know a lot about tea like Kuma-kun or Kasa-kun did.
"It sure is a surprise to see you here, Sena-kun" Eichi started, sitting up straight.
"Well I sure can't say the same, Tenshouin."
"Oh my, in a bad mood, are we?"
"I don't think this a 'we' situation in any way though~?"
"Ah, you're right. Allow me to correct myself. You're in a bad mood, I see."
"..How annoying. Say something too, Kuma-kun!'
The atmosphere was tense, Ritsu noted as he sipped his tea, heavy enough to be cut with a knife.
"Sena-senpai~ Your tea is here!" A blue-haired bunny chirped up, breaking all the tension that was in the room before with his gentle voice.
Hajime placed a tea cup in front of the silver-haired. It was pretty, Sena noticed, a porcelain base with a rim covered in countless red flowers. It reminded him of a certain member of his unit.
"It's jasmine tea! It has a lot of antioxidants and is good for your heart" Hajime explained, carefully pouring the tea from the pot into the cup.
"Hmmm really~? Thank you, Ra*bits' Shino Hajime-kun"
"Doesn't it get tiring saying that every time?"
"I'm not like you, Kuma-kun"
The rest of the meeting progressed smoothly, them talking about their personal lives and idol jobs. That was until, the topic of a tea time snack came around.
"Sena-senpai, will you not be eating anything?" Hajime asked as he opened a box of cookies he baked the other day.
"Ah no thanks" Sena said almost immediately, earning a concerned face from Hajime.
"Are they perhaps not to your liking..?"
Damn tea club and their adorable pleading faces.
Except Tenshouin of course.
"No it's not like that uh.." Sena thought for a while. The more he looked at the blue-haired's face, the more hesitant he felt. Sure, he wasn't ever one to break his diet, no way was he ever doing that, but sometimes, looking at Tsukasa indulge himself in, what he would call, too many sweets made him feel a bit jealous. Maybe it would be alright just this once?
He hesitantly reached out to grab a cookie from the box in Hajime's hands. The smile that Hajime gave him was almost akin to an angel. He took a bite. It was just like he liked them. Crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside.
He couldn't help the smile that formed on his face that day.

"Ah, are you leaving already, Sena-kun?" Eichi asked, noticing the silver-haired reach for his bag.
"Yeah, we have homework to complete, right~? The quicker I finish it, the more beauty sleep I get. And that's extra important considering I have a modelling job tomorrow." Sena said, turning to thank Hajime for his service today. "Besides, shouldn't you be going home soon too? I don't know about Hajime-kun, but Kuma-kun's still waiting for his 'darling Maa-kun' to finish up his student council duties." He continued, earning a 'Don't call him Maa-kun!!'
"I'm having Wataru escort me home today, you see. And Hajime-kun is waiting for Tomoya-kun to finish up with his club activities too. Apparently they're putting a play soon, featuring people from the acting department as well." The blonde explained, Hajime nodding along.
"Is that so..Not like that matters to me. Anyways, I'll get going now, thanks for having me today" Sena bid farewell, the keys of his motorcycle in his hands.
"Oh, and one more thing." He spoke up, not turning to face the other three. "I'm glad you have others to rely on, Kuma-kun."
Before anyone had the chance to react, Sena was out the door already.
