There it was again. It starts with little flicks of his eyes, taking short, sharp peeks at the person sitting next to him. Or to be specific, the lunch that was laid out for the person beside him. These peeks would turn into slightly longer glances, and would soon turn into stares of longing as his eyes are suddenly glued to the light blue colored boxed lunch. As Kuwata takes off the lid to unveil what Maizono had packed him today, he looks back at his plain bread that was bought from the school cafeteria and starts to eat.

You could practically see hearts in Kuwata's eyes as he dug into his lunch.

"This is amazing as always Maizono!" Kuwata exclaimed, food stuffed in his mouth. Maizono's cheeks flared as she giggled happily

"Don't talk with your mouthful! And slow down you're going to choke!" As if on cue, Kuwata started coughing and quickly reached for a water bottle and washed down the food just as fast.

"I'm serious! This is the best one you've made all week! Yo Naegi, you want some?" Naegi quickly waved his hands in front of his face and laughed nervously

"No thank you, it would be rude of me to eat what Maizono worked so hard to prepare for you. You should be the one to enjoy it!"

"C'mon, I'm sure Maizono wouldn't mind." Maizono then smiled and nodded quickly

"Of course, I wouldn't mind at all Naegi, it's Kuwata's lunch after all, he can do what he wants with it. You too Kirigiri!"

"No need." I said as I raised my hand and took a bite into my own lunch, two onigiri I bought from a convenience store on the way to school.

"Really, enjoy your lunch, it looks great!" said Naegi as he smiled at both Maizono and Kuwata and gave a thumbs up.

"Well suit yourself then. Seriously, I have no idea how you don't get bored of eating that stuff everyday." At that statement my irritation began to grow as I bore my eyes into Naegi to gauge his reaction. Naegi then chuckled nervously again and rubbed the back of his head.

"I like bread though, trust me I'm fine. Thanks for the offer."

It was like this everyday. Maizono would bring two boxed lunches to school everyday, one for her and one for Kuwata. You could practically see invisible drool leeching off of Naegi's mouth as he would stare in wonder and curiosity at what Maizono had made for him. I must agree that it did look very delicious, as well as very presentable. Maizono would often shape the rice into cute little animals, or whenever Kuwata would have a baseball game she would form letters of encouragement with the food. Kuwata would then ask Naegi if he would like a bite or two, but being the character he was, always declined, politely using the same excuse every time: Maizono made it for Kuwata not him. Anyone could tell that he secretly wanted to try and taste what was being offered to him. Of course, whenever I asked Naegi if he had wanted me to make one or if he wanted to buy a few frozen ones from the grocery store he declined, saying he was content with what he had. I would never think much of it until today, I trusted Naegi. But as I looked across the table again to Naegi munching on plain bread, seemingly not finding it distasteful while not finding it good either I thought back to what Kuwata said.

Naegi was extremely bored.

For as long as I remember, Naegi would eat bread or onigiri at lunch time. He wanted something new, something fun and exciting to eat like the boxed lunches Maizono made for Kuwata. I looked around at our other classmates, and noticed other guys eating their own homemade lunches made by the various other girls in our class. My irritation grew once again.

"Kirigiri? You okay?" I glanced up at Naegi wearing a concerned expression on his face. "You look...angry...or something." I realized I was grimacing slightly, and returned to my stoic expression.

"Don't worry it's nothing." I quickly took another bite of my onigiri to avoid talking about the subject further.

"Okay then..."

Naegi and I have been in a relationship for a year now, but we didn't really act like it. At least not in public. Everyone knew about the straight faced master detective Kyouko Kirigiri, and in turn people knew about the close relationship she had with Makoto Naegi. But that was it. To anyone that didn't know Kirigiri and Naegi personally, it would seem as if the two were just really close friends, not dating. They wouldn't even refer each other to their first names unless alone. Of course we would spend much more time together outside of school, hanging out and doing various other things that couples do. They had kissed a few times as well. For Naegi and I, there was no need to broadcast to the world that we were in a relationship. But as I quickly eyed the room again, I couldn't help but feel...inferior. Which was very strange. Even though it was not my style to display public affection, I cared and loved Naegi. He was in my eyes the perfect boyfriend. Caring, sweet, considerate to her feelings and her personality. Extremely patient and loving. He would go out of his way in order to make me happy, or make me laugh and make me comfortable. I remembered all the little things he did for me. Even if it was out of my comfort zone...

I made up my mind.

I stood up, grabbed Maizono's arm and walked briskly out of the room, ignoring the startled comments of surprise from Kuwata and Naegi.

"K-Kirigiri?" Maizono seemed just as suprised as Kuwata and Naegi were.

"Maizono."

"Y-Yes?"

I felt my cheeks getting warmer by the second. I took a deep breath and then looking into Maizono's eyes seriously, I braced myself for the reaction I knew I was going to get.

"Teach me how to make a boxed lunch."

Maizono stood quietly for a few seconds, then broke out into a huge grin and squealed with excitement as she grabbed my hands.

"You wanna make a boxed lunch for Naegi?! Of course I'll help!" I felt my face heating up even more as I quickly pulled her away and attempted to quiet her down.

"I-I never said that..." Maizono let out a sharp gasp.

"You're...getting embarrassed?! Kirigiri this is so cute!~"

"Just answer me! Will you help me or not!" I almost shouted.

"Don't worry I already said I would! Trust me he'll be so happy! I'll explain to plan to you later okay?" I nodded and as I walked back towards our class, I couldn't help but feel a slight tug upwards from the sides of my mouth. I couldn't help but feel excited imagining Naegi's face light up at the sight of a boxed lunch made by his girlfriend.

A/N:...that was god awful. LOL. For the people that made it this far, I thank you for reading my first story. I feel like I can't leave it like this without writing about Kirigiri actually making the lunch/giving it to Naegi but this is just something for me to try. That being said this WILL be a oneshot unless people want a second chapter highlighting the aftermath of this. I was honestly extremely nervous writing this despite it being only a oneshot. I've been wanting to write a story of my own for a while now, and this idea just popped into my head today and decided to finally put it into words. I love Kirigiri's character SO much, and Naegi just seems perfect as a balance to her usual stoic traits. Again I was extremely nervous writing this, and was even scared I didn't want to attempt a chapter story yet so I probably made a bunch of mistakes. Helpful criticism is more than welcome! I think this A/N has gone on long enough so once again thank you for taking the time to read my first story!
