Third Person View

Yamaguchi leaned on a wall as he looked at his phone.

People walking by was a sight that became normal once again for him, now that he's back in the city. Some girls took a second glance at him, wondering if he's waiting for someone or not.

He wasn't really doing anything on his phone.

He just needed something to do until Nagisa came. Waiting wasn't really his favorite thing to do, but he was willing to do it for her. And besides, what sort of man would make a girl wait? He simply had to be there 10 minutes early.

Not without Iyo's nagging at the house earlier.

Earlier...

"Brother? Are you meeting up with a girl? Iyo had asked her older sibling.

Yamaguchi was wearing his going out clothes. Iyo knew he had to be meeting up with someone, as he asked where a good place to eat sweets is.

When she gave him a recommendation and asked him why not ask the internet, he said, "As much of an annoying airhead you are, you're at least decent at picking out good places to eat."

Iyo didn't know wether or not to take that as a compliment.

"And why does it concern you?" Yamaguchi replied, grabbing his shoes as he sat in front of the door.

Iyo put her hands on her hips, "Of course it concerns Iyo! Is it the same girl you gave chocolates to?"

"If I say yes, will you stop clinging onto me?" Her older brother looked down at her while she held his arm.

"Oh! Iyo is right! Iyo knows if she asks who it is, Brother will not answer, so she will guess!" Iyo sparkled with a smile on her face. "Is she cute? Pretty? More so than Iyo?"

Yamaguchi put his shoes on. "Yes, yes, and definitely yes."

"Whaat..." Iyo watched her older brother stand up. "No matter. Brother's girlfriend has to be cuter than Iyo!"

Iyo didn't know much girls who fit that description. Or maybe she was just being stubborn?

"So... who is it, Brother?"

"You said you were gonna guess."

"...a hint?"

Yamaguchi gave her one last look before turning around and putting his hand on the doorknob. "Blue."

He opened the door and went out, leaving Iyo sitting on the floor. His second step was accompanied by a girlish scream coming from inside the door.

Back to the present

Yamaguchi let out a sigh. "A little late to the party there."

"Yamaguchi-kun! Sorry for the wait."

Ah, a voice that the blonde actually liked hearing.

He pushed himself off the wall and looked at the beautiful being that is Nagisa. "You ready?"

She nodded, "As I'll ever be."

As they started walking side by side, a girl hid behind the bushes. She was wearing shades as she looked at the two.

"They took off!" She said. "Let's go, guys!"

"U-um... Arisa-chan... Do you really have to wear those?" The girl beside her spoke.
