"-Besides, when is megumi not irritated?" Nobara asks, walking infront of the two boys holding her bags.
"Don't lie on my name like that, I'm happy plenty of times-" Megumi argues, as he struggled with keeping her bags stable on his arms.
"Exactly! Like that time when-" And when Yuji's voice goes silent for longer than usual, they turn to look at him.
"Oh, he's thinking."
Megumi side-eyes Nobara, "Why...?"
"He's trying to figure out a time when you haven't been irritated! Obviously!" She rolls her eyes.
"Still," Megumi says, eyes never leaving Yuji. "Isn't he... Taking too long?"
"And what does that say about you?"
Before Megumi can decide to either throw Nobara's bags in the garbage or at her, Yuji interrupts them.
"I've got it! That time when he made us dinner!"
"That doesn't count! He poisoned it!" Nobara's quick to shoot Yuji down.
Megumi however, winces, "I said I messed up the recipe-"
"So basically poison!"
"That's not-"
"Stop arguing! Nobara help me think!" "Yuji pleads, turning in her direction. "Two minds are better than one!"
"Not when you both share one braincell." Megumi mutters.
"I heard that, that's mean- he's irritated!"
All Yuji can do is laugh, "I mean it's fine! Besides, when are you not mean, Nobara?"
Her eyes go wide in offense, before her hands are at Yuji's neck, attempting to strangle him. "Don't do me like Megumi! In fact, how dare you suggest that I'm mean-"
"Exactly." Megumi nods as they turn to him, "Like that one time when-"
It only takes them a second to get the reference before Nobara has decidedly let Yuji live in favor for chasing Megumi down.
And when Megumi turns around to run from her, and Yuji starts running after both of them, he makes sure he runs fast enough to where they can't see his smile.
