With a couple tests on his teammates

[all characters are 18+]

Ren thought about it as he went to get food. What had changed recently? It only seemed to happen when he said the word 'normal', so it seemed likely something had changed with him. At the buffet, he picked up a plate and went to scratch his ear, feeling something dangling from it. It was an earring...

The earrings! He'd practically forgotten about them! were they what was responsible for this? Well, they could be tested... Ren looked back at his friends. Well, if anything went wrong, he could hopefully undo it...

He noticed Sumire was the closest one to him from where they were sitting now so he tried it out. "It's normal for Sumire to stick her butt out at me while eating when I'm getting food." He said to himself. Looking at the redhead, she proceeded to get up out of her seat, then move so ren could see her. Once she had, she bento over at the waist, her ass very visible to ren as the girl kept eating.

He took off the right earring, placing it in his pocket as he kept looking at her. "It's normal for Sumire to sit down and eat like other people and not present her butt at me while doing so." Sumire didn't respond, just kept absently mooning Ren. He swapped the earrings before repeating himself.

The Athletic girl sat back down, but Ryuji looked up over at Ren. He started to feel nervous before he yelled over to Ren. "Hey dude! how long you gonna stand there? Can't decide what to eat!?" The others started looking over him as Ren realized what he had been doing - or rather, hadn't.

"Y-yeah, but I've got it now!" He realized how long he'd been gone and started piling up his plate from the buffet before walking back. Ren realized he had been standing there a long time, but why hadn't they noticed until now?

Once Ren sat down, he tried relaxing more and joined in the conversation. He decided to push the earrings to the back of his mind for now. He did enjoy spending time with his friends, after all...
