(name)'s eyes fluttered open as he yawned quietly. his eyelashes fluttering back and forth while he tried to process his brain power right now. he looked around and saw the book on his lap, the blanket draped over his shoulders too. his brain was slowly starting to function and work its gears again after a long, nice nap in ego's office.

ego was still there of course, watching and rewatching matches with a blank stare as well as big glasses for some reason, though ego did not pay (name) much attention when he saw that he had woken up. instead, he only gave (name) a small nod and moved the cup of coffee that anri had brought earlier for (name) since ego had drunk his fair share of coffee too.

"thanks." (name) said quietly in reply while holding the cup of coffee in his hands and slowly drinking it to wake himself up from his slumber. (name)'s head turned to the clock and it was already pass dinner time already which meant he had slept for a while now, possibly around  4 to 5 hours. he was probably going to go to dinner now since he has not eaten anything yet since around 12 am.

(name) and ego sat beside each other in the office with an awkward silence as (name) sipped his coffee while staring at the many screen monitor ego has in his office. after drinking his coffee, (name) placed his cup down on the table silently before standing up to go get himself some dinner since he felt quite hungry right now so he waved ego goodbye for now and left ego's office to go to the dinning area to eat something.

(name)'s tall figure quietly walked in the long halls, his face as stoic as usual while his footsteps were quiet. he entered the dining area, no one was there because they were all probably resting in their own dorms right now after a day of long training as well as many matches that they have to play in to be the best striker.

he pressed the button on the machine and out came his warm meal. he took his tray of food and placed it on the table then sat down silently. he began to eat his food slowly in silence that was quite peaceful in his opinion but as always and as per usual, his silence was disturbed when a brown-yellow haired male sat next to him with a big grin. (name) already knew who it was at that point as he turned his head towards bachira.

bachira giggled when he saw (name) turning his head towards him, his smile widening as well while he placed his tray of food down. bachira had snuck out of the barcha stratum because he was hungry right now for a midnight snack though he certainly did not expect to see his favorite manager, (name), there eating silently all by himself. in bachira's eyes, (name) really did look like a lonely kitten when he was eating so he joined him.

"ehehe~" bachira giggled again as he scooted closer towards (name). he was happy to be able to eat with (name) after a long day of practice, especially because he was unable to spend more time with (name) lately so this was his chance for him and (name) to hang out together, just the two of them in the dining room and eating their food together. (name) just stared at bachira awkwardly and bachira stared back with the biggest smile.

there was a silence for a moment between them before bachira threw his hands over (name), clinging onto (name) tightly like a leech. (name) grunted quietly when bachira was hugging and clinging onto him so tightly but made no effort to push bachira away, instead, he awkwardly patted bachira's back before trying to go back to eating his food in peace. bachira was not going to let that happen clearly.

(name) was probably not going to eat in peace today because of bachira. (name) was eating silently while bachira sat beside him with one arm around (name)'s waist and the other was eating really messily because bachira was ranting about how training was so exhausting as well as ranting or talking about the most random things (name) has ever heard today. bachira was an interesting person in (name)'s eyes. he was so bright.

bachira was as bright as a sun in (name)'s perspective. (name) really could not help but have a tiny smile on his face while eating his food. bachira was nice company right now and (name) could listen to all of bachira's rant and random talks all day long right now when he eats his dinner. bachira served as both entertainment and company right now, something that (name) much needs on this very boring and lonely day.

they both ate while chatting, well, it was bachira who did most of the chatting and talking but that did not matter right now. what matter was that both of them were enjoying their time eating together. perhaps they should do this together more often, since they both seemingly get along pretty well. even though their both quite different when it came to personality.
