A gentle Autumn wind blows in the distance, carrying the sweet scent of various fruits. The wonderful scent catches a particular man's attention. He turned his head to an open window beside him, following the sweet smell.
Outside, a man is harvesting some apples, wearing a long-sleeved shirt, some baggy pants, and his whole body covered by bandages. The man outside stumbles as he notices him. He hurriedly picks the rest of the apples and rushes into the house.
—
He decides to get himself down to the kitchen. The sink rushes as the man from earlier washes the apples he picked. "Dazai, why didn't you tell me you'll harvest them today? I would have helped you if you'd asked."
Dazai chuckles, still washing the apples. "I wanted to surprise you, surprise!" He sets the apples down and turns to him, raising his hands jokingly. Sigma sighs, trying to take some apples and wash them. "My, my. I can't believe Sigma himself is helping me right now!" Dazai playfully jumps out of his way.
—
Sigma carves the apple into little bunnies, Dazai intently watching him, humming a little tune. After a minute, Sigma finishes and plates the bunnies into a heart.
He invites Dazai to eat them with him on the patio of their house. Dazai follows behind him while grabbing drinks for the both of them. When they get to their patio, Sigma sits and puts the plate on a little table. He waits for Dazai to join him and takes an apple bunny slice.
"How do you think about making some apple pie?" Sigma finishes his slice, taking a second one. He glances at Dazai, as he's not taken any yet. "I think that would be great," Dazai snatches a slice. Sigma takes his drink as Dazai moves his attention to the orchard behind their house, taking a breath, feeling proud of his and Sigma's hard work.
Dazai looks back at the plate, now empty. He tries to hold back a laugh, now his eyes back at Sigma. "I guess someone was hungry," Dazai chuckles, grabbing his glass. He takes a sip of his water as Sigma hurriedly takes the plate, turning away from Dazai and going back inside, quietly closing the door behind him. Dazai finishes his drink and carries him and Sigma's glasses back inside.
