December 22 ~ Thursday ~ Food Place
With his chopsticks, Shuichi poked at his yakisoba, lacking the motivation to eat it. To not eat it would be a waste, seeing as he went through all the effort to travel to this shop, which was supposedly renowned for having the best yakisoba in the area. Honestly, it didn't look nor taste much different from the next guy's yakisoba. The restaurant was visually appealing, and the smells didn't disappoint. Perhaps the food had more credit than Shuichi was willing to give it. He was grumpy and refused to see the positive in anything. Anything and everything was just proving to be a nuisance to him. He was beginning to regret coming out today.
The only reason he had decided to venture out today was because it was his birthday. Normally, he would be spoiled rotten with presents and foods of every delicacy. He would be waited on hand and foot (though the maids did that on any other day as well), if only he was at home. Instead, Shuichi was stuck at an apartment complex alone, other than Washio, who kept to himself. Washio attempted to have a tiny birthday party for Shuichi today, but Shuichi proclaimed that it was childish, and refused. Washio took that as Shuichi wanting to be left alone today, and he honored his cousin's wishes. Once Shuichi realized that Washio wasn't going to be catering to him today and making him a special meal, Shuichi stormed off to make the best of rest of the day.
So he ended up at this yakisoba food shop because it was supposed to be among the best. The dinner only acted to remind him how lonely he was. He had the best noodles in the area, but no one to enjoy it with. Somehow, that took the quality out of the meal, and it left Shuichi in a bad mood. He almost considered leaving his plate there and heading home. However, he was taught well in etiquette and leaving his food unfinished would only be an insult to the chef. Shuichi took another bite. He had to make the best of it.
