Jab. Thump!

Uppercut. Thump!

Turn kick. Thump!

Hoo– "Lunch has been over for t–ten minutes! You should be d–dressed and washed by now. If I hear another hit in that room, so help me." Both people stood silent for a moment, one daring the other to so much as touch the punching bag. You had neither faced away from the punching bag nor moved from your original stance.

Hook. Thump!

There was stomping from the other room towards yours. The stomping stopped at the door and the doorknob shook vigorously with Hikari's attempt at opening it. "[F/N], I swear to– Tem, open this d–door." The border collie lying on your bed stood at attention and pushed itself off towards the door.

Your mom had tried to get you into her style of clothes, but they never did feel right on you: they were uncomfortable. Hikari, however, picked a style one day while you two were out shopping and not only did it feel nice against you, but Hikari thought it matched you perfectly.

Then you have to figure out which is the body wash and which is the shampoo. Long story short, you regret choosing the same scent for both because you switch them around way too
