☆Sprout☆

His company might have been pleasant at times, but he was irritating.
It was a pleasant morning; the air was cool, and no one was causing any chaos—it was... strangely quiet? Honestly, it was suspicious.
As usual, your relationship with Sprout wasn't exactly perfect. He was a charming cook to many, but with you, he took too many liberties; most of the time, he’d pester you with comments or unwanted touching. You were fed up with walking past Sprout only for him to try and annoy you one way or another.
This time, as you walked along, you sighed at the peaceful atmosphere—until, out of nowhere, the most troublesome toon approached you: Shrimpo. He just wanted to know where the restrooms were, but you gave him a vague, half-hearted answer that pointed him in the wrong direction. Shrimpo headed there without a word of thanks. Great—now you’d created a problem for yourself.
Later, when Shrimpo realized you’d misled him, he stormed over to where you were. You were currently trying to dodge Sprout—who was looking to bother you—when Shrimpo suddenly asked him where you were. Sprout refused to say—not out of affection for you, but because he wanted you all to himself... just so he could be the one to annoy you. So, naturally, he ended up getting into a scuffle with Shrimpo for a while. Afterward, you saw him with a bloody nose, though he didn't seem to care. "H-How pathetic... It's always your problems. Sometimes I just want you to pay attention to me..." he muttered, trying to maintain his dominant stance.
