Keigo tapped his chin. "Hmm, I think I'll go for a Mocha Frappé." He turned to Momo and Fuyumi's brother next. "And what about you two?"
He barely looked at the menu before saying, "Chocolate Shake."
Momo, with a bit more enthusiasm, chimed in, "I'll have a McFlurry with OREO Cookies!"
Keigo grinned as he stood up. "Alright, I'll go place the order!" With a playful salute, he walked off to the counter.
Itachi turned back to Him, his gaze steady but friendly. "We didn't get to ask your name earlier," he said, his voice calm and respectful.
He glanced at him briefly before answering, "Natsuo Todoroki."
"It's nice to meet you, Todoroki," Itachi replied. "I'm Itachi Yaoyorozu. A pleasure."
Natsuo nodded slightly, the stiffness in his posture relaxing a bit. There was a silent understanding between them as if Itachi's calm demeanor was reassuring. The quiet tension started to lift, replaced by the subtle beginnings of camaraderie. He said, "Natsuo is fine." Itachi Hearing this nodded with a small smile.
Fuyumi, watching the interaction, smiled softly.
Itachi smiled at Momo, his little sister's happiness infectious, while Keigo settled back into his seat after placing their orders. Momo, with a playful smirk, glanced at Natsuo, who seemed more relaxed now, and turned her attention back to her brother. Keigo plopped down next to them, stretching his arms.
"So," Keigo started, "what should we do after this?"
Fuyumi raised an eyebrow. "Didn't we decide to go to the fair?" she asked, her tone teasing.
Keigo blinked and then let out an awkward laugh, scratching the back of his head. "Oh yeah... I totally forgot."
Itachi sighed and shook his head. "You really did forget, didn't you?"
Keigo laughed sheepishly. "Yeah…," he admitted, rubbing his neck.
Momo, giggling at the exchange, chimed in, "You're funny, like a joker!"
Keigo froze in place, pretending to be struck by her words, while Fuyumi tried to hold back her laughter. Itachi let out a small smile. "Momo, that's not very nice. He's older than you," he gently reprimanded, though the amusement in his tone was clear.
Keigo, with fake tears welling up in his eyes, turned to Itachi dramatically. "My friend… my bro…" he whimpered, but before he could say more, Itachi added with a smirk, "Even if you're right."
Keigo's face fell, and the entire table burst into laughter. Keigo sighed in mock defeat. "Alright, alright, have your fun this time. But I feel something brewing here…"
Itachi, still smiling, took a sip of his coffee. For a brief moment, his smile faded, replaced by a quiet, reflective expression. He thought to himself, It's good, but not as good as the coffee I used to drink… The taste, though pleasant, stirred memories of something distant yet familiar.
Meanwhile, Momo was happily eating her McFlurry, her eyes lighting up with joy. "Wow! This is so good!" she exclaimed with pure excitement.
Itachi turned to her, his mood brightening again as he patted her head. "I'm glad you like it."
Momo beamed up at him, her smile wide and bright. Fuyumi, observing the gentle exchange, glanced at Itachi thoughtfully. "You're really different when you're with your sister," she remarked softly.
Itachi's gaze softened as he looked at Momo, then back at Fuyumi. "Yeah," he agreed, his voice quiet. "She's important to me."
Keigo, now recovered from the earlier teasing, grinned at Itachi. There was something about his friend's calm yet caring nature that made moments like this feel meaningful. They all sat together, finishing their drinks in comfortable silence, the bond between them growing a little stronger with each passing minute.
As they polished off their food, Keigo stretched again. "Alright, are we ready for the fair?" he asked, his excitement returning.
Fuyumi nodded, smiling. "Yeah, let's go."
Itachi stood, helping Momo up as she bounced in excitement. "Definitely," he said with a calm smile, while Momo chirped, "Yeah! I can't wait!"
Natsuo, quieter than the others but more relaxed now, also nodded with a small smile. "Let's do it."
As they stepped outside, the group walked toward the fair. Momo clutched Itachi's hand, her small fingers wrapped around his as they strolled along the busy street. When they finally arrived, the fair sprawled before them with its colorful lights and attractions.
"Wow! Look at the Ferris wheel!" Momo and Keigo exclaimed simultaneously, their eyes wide with excitement.
Itachi, with a small sweatdrop forming on his forehead, glanced between Keigo and Momo, amused. "I thought Momo and Natsuo would be the children here, but look at him," he muttered, shaking his head.
Turning to Momo, he smiled warmly. "It'll be fun, right?"
Momo bounced on her feet, excitement evident in her sparkling eyes. "Right!"
Just then, Fuyumi pointed ahead. "Guys, look there."
Itachi followed her gaze to see a towering roller coaster twisting through the sky, its tracks looping and diving. Keigo and Momo, as if on cue, gasped again.
"Wow, so cool!" they shouted in unison.
Itachi chuckled softly and knelt down beside Momo. "So, where do you want to go first?" he asked.
Momo, suddenly putting a hand to her stomach, pouted a little. "Brother… I'm still hungry."
Itachi smiled affectionately at her. "Alright, I'll get you something to eat."
Turning to Natsuo and Fuyumi, he asked, "Would you like anything?"
Natsuo shook his head with a polite, "No, I'm good."
Fuyumi waved her hands dismissively. "No, no, I'm full, thank you."
Itachi nodded. "You all can head toward the roller coaster. We'll catch up in a bit."
Keigo, already bubbling with excitement, grinned. "Don't forget the way, okay?" he teased, as if they could get lost.
Itachi sweatdropped again, smiling as he took Momo's hand and led her toward the food stalls. Momo's eyes darted around, taking in the vibrant displays of snacks and treats. "Wow, look, brother! That food looks so good!" she exclaimed, her gaze settling on a donut stand.
Itachi smiled, following her line of sight. "You want some donuts?" he asked gently.
Momo nodded enthusiastically, and they approached the stand. The man behind the counter greeted them with a friendly smile. "Hello, young one! What would you like?" he asked.
Momo's eyes twinkled as she excitedly ordered, "I want a chocolate donut, a caramel one, a vanilla one, and one with peanut butter!"
The owner chuckled, amused by her eagerness. "Coming right up!" he said, packing the donuts into a small box.
As the man handed the box over, Itachi stepped forward and asked, "How much?"
