Work Text:
After becoming a detective within the Armed Detective Agency and all of the huge issues with the Port Mafia, Izumi was naturally overwhelmed mentally.
I mean, c’mon? That shit gotta be traumatising and stressful…
Anyway, back on topic.
A few days ago, Atsushi suggested to the young lady that she should take annual leave. He explained how a few days off may help her process everything that happened in a more healthy way than acting as if none of it happened and suffering down the line due to her not moving on.
The albino freak (🤤) bribed her with crepes to make sure she’d take time off of work.
Whilst she was quietly taking nibbles of the pancake, Kenji came over to simply accompany her with no real intention to do something. It was mainly just Kyouka listening to Miyawaza yap about how he needed to plant some new crops at his home village.
After about five minutes of endless yapping, he politely asked Izumi if she wanted to join him. She hesitated for a small moment but nodded; she didn’t verbally say yes as she was still munching on her crepe.
Now, present day! Yippee !!! Kenji wore his usual outfit, of course. As for our dear Izumi, she borrowed some overalls (borrowed from Miyawaza to not get her usual kimono dirty) and a simple white shirt. She had accidentally been matching with the boy she’d be farming with. They stood on the fertile land.
“Great!” Miyawaza exclaimed with his usual joyful demeanour. His hands cupped a small amount of sow seeds from a bag he had bought the day before. Turning to Kyouka, he shot her his bright smile.
“These are the seeds we will be used! Do you know how to plant them?” He asked as he tilted his head.
“… I believe I do… but I can at least watch beforehand to make sure.” She mumbled. Lifting her hand, she let the blond give her half of the seeds.
Kenji crouched down and pointed to an area of soil.
“That’s great! You should try plant there.” He stated before moving his index finger to point to the ground next to where he just gestured to. “I’ll show you here.”
Crouching down next to him, Kyouka stared at the dirt. Kenji used his fingers to make a small shallow hole before dropping a singular sow seed inside. His gaze lifted to watch Izumi copy.
She did identical steps to his. Make a shallow hole and place a seed in. At seeing her do well, he smiled a little more. Then, he pulled the soil into the place he had just dug.
Kenji patted the soil to be slightly more compressed. A small bump was laid over where he had just planted the first seed. Kyouka quickly scraped the soil into her own dug area and gently tapped the top with delicate hands. She took a moment to look at all the grime that had already built up under her fingernails.
“Woah! You city girls sure do learn quickly.” Miyawaza gasped as Izumi glanced up,"You did great for your first try!" He complimented.
Flattered, Kyouka's cheeks tinted a light red but the colour quickly faded as Kenji stood up straight and began to repeat planting seeds in other places. She stood up too and followed him.
