Chapter Text
Guess who finally got a snapchat!, reads the black bar over a selfie of himself and Sakuma. He’s doing a peace sign and giving a wide smile while Sakuma on the other hand looks a bit surprised, nonetheless it’s still a cute picture of them so Miyoshi saves it after posting it to ‘My Story’ before sending it to his own phone via text message.
“Well, there you go! Welcome to the modern times Sakuma-san!” he says as he hands the phone back.
Sakuma takes it and tucks it into his shirt pocket. “I still don't see the point of it though. If it's to be social then shouldn't it be in person? And if that's not possible then that's why we can call or text.”
Miyoshi shrugs. “True, but this way it's so much more fun. You post pictures about whatever you're doing at the moment and you can talk with your friends about it, there's lots of other cool features too. Trust me, soon enough you'll be interested in it.” he says with a smirk.
“We’ll see.” Sakuma eyes him.

Miyoshi
Sakuma-san, did you check out the app for yourself yet?
Sakuma reads the message with a brow raised, that again? He had decided to look at it tomorrow since he was busy with work all day and right now he just wanted to relax. However, knowing better and preferring to rather not have Miyoshi on his case he goes along with his whim and opens the app.
At first, he's confused because literally how would anyone figure out how to use this stupid thing (meanwhile he also wishes that Miyoshi had shown him how to use it instead of just leaving him to learn on his own) but he manages to gather that the screen you come onto is where you take photos, and swiping downwards will let you access your settings and list of friends. So far he has Miyoshi of course (@handsomemiyo) (he wasn't really surprised), Hatano (@hatayes) (hmph, clever), Jitsui (@s_master) (what is that supposed to mean?), Kaminaga (@kamidaddy) (why?), Tazaki (@pigeons4lyfe) (to be honest he's not even surprised there either), Fukumoto (@chefuku), Amari (@amarinii), and finally, Odagiri (@odagiri) (and once again he's so, so grateful for Odagiri). Sakuma guesses Miyoshi must’ve added them earlier while he was on his phone.
He swipes left and sees that there is a list of ‘stories’ from his friends. He picks the one that's apparently his and it’s the picture from earlier with him and Miyoshi. He looks good as usual, he blushes at the thought.
Deciding to ignore that, he exits out and taps on some of the others.
With my precious darling *blushy closed eye smile emoji* *pink hearts emoji*, captions a picture of Amari with Emma sitting next to him on a table drawing a picture with crayons. Sakuma loves kids, especially Emma, who's always so cheerful and cute wherever she goes.
With a small smile, he goes to Fukumoto’s. At first it's a simple picture of a dish with some kind of filter, then one of Odagiri, who’s sitting on a couch watching something on television. He seems relaxed, he's wearing a light blue sweater and a pair of grey sweat pants. His hair is down and a bit wet but he has a calm and content expression on his face. Huh, I’ve never seen him like that before.
Next he goes to Kaminaga’s. It's a picture of him and some woman who looks like she could be a model with the words: scored another date! *tongue emoji* *2 water drops emoji* Within about a second of opening it Sakuma automatically closes out, losing interest.
No one else seems to have updated theirs so Sakuma attempts to close the app, but then he stops when a notif appears.
Snapchat: Miyoshi is typing…
And another about a second later,
Snapchat: So Sakuma-san, what do you… the rest is cut off.
Sakuma sighs and taps on the grey box, it takes him to a messenger on the same app. Miyoshi did say you could talk to others… I guess this is it? He proceeds to read the rest of the text.
Now that I think about it, I did get a lot of message notifications throughout the day…
Miyoshi
| So Sakuma-san, what do you think?
| Does it not peak your interest?
He’s a bit peeved to answer when he types, I admit, I am a bit intrigued. It does seem to have some value. Send.
Buzz.
Miyoshi
| Ohh? “A bit intrigued” huh? Well I guess
| you could still say this is my win.
Me
| ...
Miyoshi
| Anyways, good night Sakuma-san~ And I
| hope you dream of me *wink with a kiss emoji*
…
Me
| Good night, Miyoshi.
---extra---
I am a bit curious of what the others had to say, Sakuma thinks to himself as he lies on the bed. He logs out of his conversation with Miyoshi and, as he thought, the rest had all sent him messages too.
Hatano
| huhh, guess ur not as boring as i thought
…
He doesn't bother replying.
Kaminaga
| Welcome to the party Sakuma-san!! It's
| about time you finally joined! *three confetti emojis*
Me
| Ah, Kaminaga. Yes, Miyoshi made me
| join. Is this app really that good?
Kaminaga replies about a few seconds later.
Kaminaga
| Ohh, lol yeah that makes a lot more
| sense *laughing emoji* this app is
| pretty fun, me and the others go on here
| all the time
Me
| I guess I’ll try it out for awhile then.
| Goodnight.
Kaminaga
| Alrighty then, talk to ya later *smiling w teeth emoji*
I guess this isn't so bad, Sakuma admits.
Tazaki
| Hello Sakuma-san. It’s great to see that
| you've joined in as well. I hope we get to
| know each other better on here.
Me
| Good evening Tazaki. I agree, I look
|forward to getting to know you more too.
Jitsui
| Hello Sakuma-san! I'm so glad you finally
| got an account! Let's become good
| friends on here too okay?
Sakuma always did like Jitsui... when he wasn't doing practice matches with him that is.
Me
| Ah, you too? Well, anyway I agree. Let’s
| get along well on here then.
Jitsui
| ^^
Odagiri
| ...good luck Sakuma-san.
Me
| ?
| Er, what do you mean by that?
…
Me
| Odagiri?
Amari
| Hello~~Sakuma-san *blushy kissy face emoji* It’s about
| time you got a Snapchat!
Me
| Yes, I've heard so from all the others.
Amari
| Haha I bet. Well let me know if you ever need any help trying to figure something out alright? *wink emoji*
Me
| I’ll see if anything comes up, thanks for
| the help. Goodnight.
Fukumoto
| Good afternoon Sakuma-san. It's good to
| see I can communicate with you now on
| here too.
Me
| Likewise. By the way, I saw your…’Story’
| was it? The dish looked very appetizing,
| and I've never seen Odagiri look so
| relaxed.
Fukumoto
| Ah really? It was just a simple dish but
| thank you very much ^^
| Oh is that so? Well I'm glad, he seems
| tense but really you just have to get to
| know him is all *blushy smiling emoji*
Me
| Seems so. Well, I’ll be taking my leave
| then.
Fukumoto
| Goodnight from us both.
Sakuma smiled to himself, he was glad he was able to get to know the others a little better.
…
Wait. They're staying over together?
