When the moon shines

“Everyone becomes happy and appreciates the moon in their own special way. Children watch their shadows and play in its light, people gather at the square to tell stories and dance through the night. A lot of happy things happen when the moon shines.”

Lunamor... likes him?

…HA.

As if!

That’s the stupidest thing he’s ever heard.

Hiro rolls his eyes, before immediately wrapping his arms around his box of Takoyaki before Steven tries to snatch another one again. “It probably looks like that because she’s actually just staring off in my general direction or something. You know how she is.”

“Or maybe she’s waiting for you to do something really weird or dumb so she can have a good laugh,” then, Steven smirks, teasingly, “Aren’t you off always doing something dumb, though?”

“That was YOU!”

“HA!”

“No, for real,” Hiro snaps.
