Route 1

Doppio didn't like to complain...even when he really wanted to. He felt like he had a lot things he could have complained about--he got headaches more than the others. He got tired more than the others. He got carsick more than the others. Still, he didn't like to dwell on the unfairness. He felt lucky he had nice people and a warm place to lay his head down at night. When he thought about that, it helped keep things in perspective.

But right now...he really, really, really wanted to complain about Reigen's driving. It felt like they were constantly swerving or stopping--when it wasn't a rock, it was a ledge. He couldn't even look out the windows to orient himself...not that it would have helped. There was tall grass everywhere. 'It's not the Captain's fault. The road ran out miles ago.' But then the van lurched as it came to another hard stop and Doppio couldn't fight a groan as he swallowed down a wave of nausea. After several failed attempts to rise from his bunk, he had given up. He buried his head in the pillow and took a few deep breaths.

"Oh, I know exactly what I'm going to be doing for her." Reigen stretched out his fingers and cracked his knuckles. "She's not going to be having any stiff shoulders for awhile."

"Maybe we can grab some groceries and be on meal duty. She seems like the sort of person who's cooking all the time. It would probably be nice for her to have a break."

Chid nodded at Max's words.

"I used to make lunch for my little brother all the time." Hitomi resented being saddled with the task, but now she had to admit that she missed it.

"Hitomi...you're a really good cook, you know?" Even if she wasn't usually the one doing it.

"I'm not so bad myself. It kinda comes with the bachelorette lifestyle." She looked over at Reigen, the other bachelor. "Can we count on you to help when you're not doing massages?"

"Naturally...but wouldn't you rather get a massage from me instead?"
