"You said that you bought this," Murasakibara says, peering into the back of chips that he's just finished.
Himuro hadn't actually meant to say anything of the sort, but when Murasakibara took the bag and commented that he's never seen any of the other snacks wrapped like this before, Himuro decided that telling the truth would be easier than lying. If Murasakibara's going to be angry at him, Himuro thinks that he'd rather it be due to his laziness than for lying, because at least Murasakibara wouldn't have a single justification for being angry with anyone else's laziness when it's overshadowed by his own.
"From the combini, yes," Himuro replies. He doesn't think he's ever seen Murasakibara eat something quite so quickly before, but now, he's frowning down at the bag and Himuro can't tell if it's because he doesn't like it, or because he doesn't understand it. "If you'd prefer, I can go back to bringing homemade snacks for you."
"No," Murasakibara says immediately. He holds up the bag. "These. I like these. I want you to bring them next time too."
"There are other flavours too," Himuro tells him. "Would you like to try them?"
"Will you bring me a new flavour every day?"
"Until they run out of flavours," Himuro replies with a smile. "And then I'll start on the other snacks."
Murasakibara hums in thought, and then reaches his hand out. "Fine. You can go."
Himuro's gotten used to this particular ritual every time; he takes his ring from Murasakibara when he arrives, and puts the chain around his neck. It's always a little warm, because Murasakibara has taken to carrying it around in his pocket, and Himuro might not get to wear it for very long each time, but that doesn't matter. Even if Kagami doesn't know what really happened to it, the ring means just as much to Himuro now as it did before. More, perhaps, but he doesn't say anything about that, not to Kagami, and not to Murasakibara either, who probably wouldn't understand.
Unclasping the chain, Himuro takes it off and places it into Murasakibara's open palm. His fingers hover over it, not quite ready to pull away yet, and Murasakibara's fingers brush against them as he closes his hand around the metal.
"I'll see you next time," Himuro murmurs, turning to leave.
He's almost at the door when he hears Murasakibara call out, "Hey."
Stopping, Himuro looks over his shoulder and waits.
"The combini," Murasakibara says, and then frowns and looks away. "Do you think maybe sometime you can take me there? I don't want to go right now, and not until I know that all the snacks are good, but. Maybe…"
"Yes, Atsushi," Himuro replies with a smile. "We can do that."
