Thankfully, Fish has decided to perch himself on the table, so he doesn't mind that Ryunosuke's lap is soon to be taken over by dog.

"See, that's what I've been worried about." He points out before he sits back in the chair. "What will you do while I read? I mean it must be awfully boring just waiting for me to read something."

And really, it could wait! He didn't mind waiting to read more about Natsume-san when he was home so he could spend his time with Manabu. That was the point of the date, right? To spend time with each other?

"I really don't want you to get bored..." He admits, reaching over to pet Fish as he loafs on the table. "Or feel like I'm ignoring you. We're supposed to be spending time together, right?"
