"I can't believe you're going to make me late!"<br/><br/>"...weren't you the one who said you wanted to stop and get breakfast?"<br/><br/>Two sets of shoes padded along the road, only slightly hastened in the interest of getting there on time. Seiji knew they wouldn't be<span style="font-style: italic">late</span>, but he'd have preferred if Koji didn't wait until the last possible minute to complain about being hungry. The way Koji was glaring at him told Seiji that it was still somehow his fault if they were late. He found himself not caring too terribly much though; it was hard to take the man seriously at any point in time, this wasn't much different.<br/><br/>"I mean.. well, yeah," Koji reluctantly admitted, toying with the long, blonde and unkempt braid that lay draped over his right shoulder. And just for a moment, Seiji looked over at the other curiously, waiting for the drop. It was never this easy to get Koji to admit defeat on anything. An admirable quality, but... "But it's not like you<span style="font-style: italic">had</span>to say yes."<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">There we go,</span>Seiji mused to himself, once again putting his focus straight ahead. Former classmates and comrades passed them by on the street, each of them waving and smiling in their direction. Koji was happy to oblige and stop to say hello, and Seiji found himself dragging the blonde by his braid. Eventually Koji would learn how to cut his hair, or at least keep it in a bun like Seiji did, but for now it was a useful way at getting his teammate to do what he wanted, and right now, that was to actually get their next assignment.<br/><br/>The pair rounded their last corner and Seiji took longer strides and Koji half-jogged to keep up, both headed for Asami and Hikari, both women having found their perfect perch against and on the tree, respectively. Once they were a few feet away, Koji picked his half-jog up to a run. "Sorry, Seiji wanted to get breakfast!" Being the safety of his glasses, Seiji couldn't resist rolling his eyes at Koji's over-enthusiasm about everything, including throwing Seiji under the bus. He was harmless enough, and overall not terrible company, but Seiji supposed he was never one for socializing. "I hope we didn't keep you guys too long!"<br/><br/>The Aburame joined the group just a few moments after Koji, nodding politely to Asami and Hikari before nodding his head in the direction of the Hokage's office. "Shall we?"
