Fuji's POV
Fuji: "Hachiman-san's cooking is always delicious~ Even cold, it keeps the flavor. Envy! How's my bento?"
Hachiman: "Yeah, Fuji's is tasty too."
Fuji: "Hehe, glad♪ CB-senpai?"
CB: "Yep, both bentos rock♪ Makes mine feel low-level~"
Hachiman: "Nah, huge improvement. For sloppy you—decent bento."
CB: "Decent!? First ones weren't bentos!?"
Hachiman: "Figure of speech… nom."
Wow… CB-senpai's early bentos were that bad…
Hachiman: "Phew, delicious. Thanks."
Fuji: "Thanks for the meal."
CB: "Thanks♪"
Hachiman: "Alright, I'm—'Nap tiiime♪' …right. 'Hachiman-san, shoulder as usual.' Here."
Lately, lunch break highlight: CB-senpai's fave nap♪ She uses Hachiman-san's lap; I sofa-sit, head/body on his shoulder for a snooze. This short doze feels blissful.
Few Minutes Later
CB: "Woo~ Post-nap feels great~♪ Refreshing!"
Fuji: "So refreshing."
Hachiman: "Hey? You two refresh—me? No payoff?"
CB: "Eh? Rare! Girls demanding lap/shoulder pillows."
Hachiman: "Rare thing's ongoing forever? Explain?"
CB: "Hmm… Perk?"
Hachiman: "Think I'll buy that?"
Fuji: "Hachiman-san hate it? Us using you as pillow?"
Hachiman: "Not hate—but immobile till you wake. Hell."
CB: "Then bed!! Comfy sleep for all!!"
Hachiman: "Bed? Oversleep—late class?"
CB: "…You'll cover, Hachiman?"
Hachiman: "Nope, your fault. Sofa's better."
Fuji: "I like bed. Set phone/alarm timer?"
Hachiman: "You just want bed sleep?"
Fuji: "Huh? No? I want bed with Hachiman-san?"
With Hachiman-san—key. Plain sleep? Boring.
Hachiman: "Hey, back to class. Late—no joke."
CB: "Yess~ After school, Hachiman!"
Fuji: "Class effort."
One more push! Then training!
Hachiman's POV
Hachiman: "What now… Fuji's closeness? Sudden clingy?"
Not rivaling CB… but arms, hands—constant.
Hachiman: "Countermeasure? Or—whoa!?"
Something on head… this weight. Friend?
Hachiman: "Hey, Friend?"
Friend: "…!!" pull pull!
Hachiman: "Long time—pre-Kikuka last year? Invisible. Stop ahoge yanks. Kinda hurts."
Friend: "~!!" giggle!!
Hachiman: "Why? Ghost, right? Zero malice—amazing. No hostility?"
Friend: "!!" shake shake!!
Hachiman: "Good spirit—real. Tell Café you're cool?"
Friend: "~!!" pat pat!!
Yeah, relay. Pranks, but never truly hated. My experience.
Friend: "…?" stroke stroke
Hachiman: "? Café-bound? Free time?"
Friend: "!" shake shake!!
Hachiman: "No… always like this?"
Friend: "!!" nod nod!!
Hachiman: "Huh… Makes sense. Friend—taste food?"
Tens of Minutes Later
Friend: "~!!" floaty~!!
Gets it… super happy, fun aura. Invisible, but Café-lookalike: imagine Café cheek-squeezing joy.
Grab!
Hachiman: "Eh? O-Okay…"
Friend: "!!" shake shake!!
Hachiman: "Got it, more coming. Wait."
Friend: "!!" nod nod!!
Food passes through ghost—no loss. Oguri/Spe'll eat.
Bonus
Café: "Eh, Trainer's cooking?"
Friend: "!!" nod nod!!
Café: "You tried? Nice. Reputed delicious."
Friend: "~!!" pull pull!!
Café: "Me too? Later. Not hungry—training."
Friend: "…" droop
Café: "Next time, ask♪"
Afterword
Lunch bentos fuel naps—and Friend's feast! Fuji's bed tease escalates cling; ghost buddy vibes on Hachiman's snacks.
