Work Text:
The cafeteria was quite empty, since it was not exactly morning anymore. Jun anxiously glanced at the clock, then remembered that Eden had the day off. As he went to get some food, he yawned and almost bumped into a table with his eyes half-closed.
Yesterday, after Ibara had dragged him and Hiyori back to the Starmony dorm, Jun was going to go to sleep right away. But it so turned out that Hiyori had other plans, and they ended up staying awake until around three in the morning. Kohaku was nowhere to be seen, and so...
Jun snapped out of his thoughts as the speakers in the cafeteria started blaring music. Vocaloid music, even. Jun had never heard vocaloid music from any of the ES speakers. Maybe the sound system team—if that's what they are called—wanted to experiment with something at the hours when the cafeteria was supposedly empty?
Ah, back to reality. Jun rubbed his eyes, trying to keep them open.
He took one of the food trays and walked towards the counter. When he saw some eggs in one of the trays, Hiyori's joke about Ibara-coloured eggs reappeared in his mind.
But the eggs here had their shells peeled off and showed the egg whites, so instead of Ibara's they looked more like Nagisa's hair.
Jun chuckled to himself and scooped up one of them into his tray just as he heard gentle footsteps approaching. He turned around and saw Nagisa just before the cafeteria door.
"Good morning, Jun."
Nagisa's face was calm as a lake, as it usually is, but somehow Jun started to see a resemblance between Nagisa's face and the peeled egg on his tray.
The thought was so ridiculous that Jun couldn't help but laugh.
"Hmm? What are you laughing at?"
There was a loud clatter on the corridor, and Ibara appeared at the door, short of breath. "Your Excellency!" He shouted, "I looked for you everywhere!"
For some reason, Jun heard "Eggcelency" in Ibara's words. He fought down laughter as he watched Ibara scolding Nagisa for disappearing in the middle of something.
Jun wondered why Ibara's footsteps sounded way louder than usual. He looked at Ibara's shoes and saw that he was wearing... Heels?
He snickered.
Ibara glared at him, took Nagisa's arm, and clattered away down the corridor.
With the two out of the way, Jun's attention went back to the food on the counter. As his eyes caught the peeled eggs again, he laughed.
