A Melodic Connection and a Lunchtime Proposal

Yuji Kato woke up early in the morning and noticed that Akane was already gone from their room. He got ready for school and headed to the classroom, where he saw Akane and greeted her. Yuji thanked her for taking care of him when he was sick, but he was too shy to say much more.

As they sat together in class, Yuji mustered up the courage to suggest they listen to music on his phone together. They shared his earphones, listening to calm melodies and relaxing music. Akane even leaned her head on Yuji's shoulder, and Yuji gently patted her head, feeling a sense of warmth that he had never experienced before.

After class, it was time for lunch. Yuji only had juice for his meal, but he was surprised to find Akane waiting for him on the rooftop with a lunch box. She had made him another meal, and she expressed her concern for his health.

Akane then proposed a plan that they share expenses and she would cook for him every day - breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Yuji was hesitant at first, but he eventually agreed.
