[it takes too long. this is a chronic problem, with Haru -- he's always looking away, turning his chair in a different direction, running from him, wasting time on an inevitable decision Rin's already made twenty minutes (or four years) ago. if Haru had accepted the damn thing normally, maybe the gesture would remain what it was; selfless, thoughtful, maybe even a little sweet, like the way Makoto or Nagisa treat Haru]
[instead, Rin treats Haru like... Rin treats Haru, which means that when Haru finally starts reaching slowly, Rin is already dropping his his head to chomp on the mackerel stick, leaving a huge, obnoxious bite in it]
...
[without lifting his face from the stick, red eyes flicker up again, like he's in disbelief at his own actions. he is a bit, but Haru's reaction -- temporarily take precedence. he'll be embarrassed for himself later, he's always got time for that]
[eventually;]
...Too slow, Nanase.
[the more things change, the more they stay the same]
