This choice: "Tomorrow. I've got an idea for lunch..." • Go Back... Lunchtime at Kibogamine Academy. Mondo once again found himself waiting outside the doors to the cafeteria, collecting "kind gifts" from the students "lucky" enough to be under his gaze. Of course, anyone who were to question the rough and tough biker would have pointed out that he did not appear to need any more lunch money. After all, he carried two lunch bags with him...
Kiyotaka bounded around the corner, smiling at Mondo. Mondo could have sworn it was the fastest he had ever seen the kid move in the halls. It wasn't running though. Never run in the halls. Never.
"It is good to see you, bro! Are you ready to help be grow plump?" Kiyotaka said out loud.
Mondo just as loudly shushed him. "Bro, don't talk about that stuff out loud! People will think it's weird..."
Kiyotaka cocked his head. "I do not understand. What is there to judge?"
Mondo was perplexed. He was perplexed that Kiyotaka was perplexed. "Uh, don't you know that most people kinda avoid... ya know... fat? Of all kinds? Just cuz you and your family thinks it's good doesn't mean everyone does."
Kiyotaka sighed and looked down, smirking. "Oh, brother... I am flattered that you show concern for me, but any judgement that could be sent my way could only come from those too immature to accept differences! Sticks and stones, brother."
Mondo grabbed Kiyotaka by the collar. "HEY, I COULD GET IT ROUGH FOR THIS TOO, YA KNOW?!?" A few students turned their heads.
Kiyotaka simply put his hand on Mondo's face and lightly pushed him away. "If you're so concerned you do not have to help me."
Mondo took a deep breath and relaxed. "No, no. I'll be honest, I don't really get this whole "family tradition" stuff but it means a lot to ya... So if it's important to you it's important to me. Now come on, I picked you up a little something!" he said, gesturing to one of his lunch bags. The two boys walked into the lunchroom and resumed their previous seats. Hifumi slid his soda out of Mondo's reach in case he wanted to splash him again.
Mondo pulled his own regular lunch out of his bag. Kiyotaka did the same, giving a nervous look to Mondo. It was the same dry, low calorie morsel as yesterday and the day before. Mondo just looked at him. "Well? Eat up!" Kiyotaka nodded and dug in with determination. It wasn't much so by the time Mondo was half done he had finished.
Kiyotaka sighed. "So what now?"
Mondo chuckled and dumped the contents of the second bag in front of Kiyotaka. Out fell a small pile of some kind of bar wrapped in plastic. The hall monitor picked one up and read the label out loud. "Healthy Choice Nourishment Bar. Energy rich meal substitute. What?"
"That's your ticket to getting bigger!" Mondo said, leaning in to quiet the conversation. "Those things are packed full of calories. Carbs, sugars, fats, proteins, vitamins, all of it. They're meant to replace full meals for really poor people that can't feed themselves or sick people or something. Too bad they always sell 'em for crack, damn fuckheads... Anyways, they practically give them away in some of the run down neighborhoods my boys are from, so I had them pick me up some. Hell, they were happy to get them off their hands. Complaining they were gonna get fat n' shit. So it should work for you too! I've got some more in my locker and I can always get you more."
Kiyotaka flipped over the bar. "Serving size, one bar. Calories per serving... 600 calories?!?"
"They're not bad either. I tried one. Fills ya up fast though, so it'll be good training for pushing yourself to eat more. We'll work on that later tonight though."
"Tonight?"
"Yeah, we're going to that place on the corner near the park. You know, with the pet store?"
"The one with the baby husky you played with for an hour?"
Mondo blushed and slammed his fist on the table. "W-well he was a tough little guy! And it wasn't an hour! Anyways, we'll meet there at six thirty. That gives you time for studying so don't get your panties in a bunch about that. Until then, snack on those things."
"I will! Thank you for this gift!" Kiyotaka beamed up at Mondo. "And I will see you there!" | Members who added to this interactive story also contributed to these: |
