"How is your phone already low on space? We literally just got it," Ran questioned in bewilderment. He'd asked not long ago to borrow your phone to look something up while his is currently reviving itself on the charger, but came face to face with your device's poor state before he could open the browser.

"Correction: We got it three weeks ago," you stated as though that made the situation any better, the disproving look your boyfriend sent you perfectly telling you so.

He swiftly tapped his way into your file manager as you hovered over his shoulder in shame, and his eyes nearly pop out if his head upon seeing the 17GB worth of images you have saved. "Why the fuck do you have so many pictures? How the fuck do you have so many pictures!?"

You'd laugh at him losing his composure if he weren't looking down on you like a disappointed parent finding out their kid was sent to the principal's office. You attempt to explain as you avoid his hardened stare, "Look, if I see something I like, I'm bound to take pictures of-"

"You did not take that many pictures in three weeks time."

"It's plausible!"

He pulls up your gallery and is met with 30 albums full of much more than camera shots, most of which is either memes or images of anime & recipes. "Why do you need screenshots of recipes, that's what the notes app is for."

"I was gonna put the links there, I just forgot..."

"Just like how you 'forgot' to delete all these random pics of animals? What even is this?" He questioned as he made a face at the phone screen.

"It's an Okapi."

"It looks confused to me. I can't tell whether it's supposed to be a giraffe or a zebra. What did you even save this for?"

"It just looks funny to me!"

He left that album and traversed to another, "And what are these, reaction images?"

"Yeah, I sent you some before."

"Oh yeah, I remember this one." He sees a random one he'd received from you a while back before remembering something, "Wait, where's the one with the chicken-"

"I think it's in--yeah there it is!" You wheezed towards the end of your sentence, Ran joining you when recalling your text days ago of Rindou's lookalike being Chicken Little.

"Those fuckin' glasses, bwahahah!"

You force yourself to wind down and speak clearly, "He was so pissed when I sent it to him!"

"You should've saw him when I started using that as his icon when he calls!" Ran wipes at his eyes to rid them of the tears his laughter forced out and brings his focus back to the phone, "You need to delete stuff."

You flip a switch at his reminder and visibly droop as you say, "But everytime I think of deleting something, I remember why I saved it in the first place!"

"Y'know that almost sounds touching until I remember the Okapi."

"I like it, shut up!"

"We'll come back to that, but why do you have 14GB of audio files?"

"...Because I like music."

"The alert sound affect from Metal Gear Solid is not music." He goes further and comes across a 17 minute long song, "What the fuck!?"

"What?" You look over to see what he's talking about, "Oh that, it's a good song!"

"Buy the CD or some shit!"

"You sound old saying-"

"I'm pretty sure a band from the 70's has their songs on CDs and said CDs are currently being sold to this day." He leaves the music app and looks at your homescreen in pity, "And why do you have such a God awful amount of games here? We have 3 different consoles right here in front of us."

You puff your cheeks out and finally snatch your phone from him, "Leave me and my phone alone you bully!"

"Your phone is crying for help! It's probably slow as shit-"

"It runs just fine, thank you very much!"

"Okay, look," he puts his hand out to silently ask for your phone, "how about we go through them together and-"

"Without you criticizing my choices?"

"Sorry bae that's a perk that comes with dating me. But you aren't gonna delete enough on your own knowing you. So..." he shakes his hand a little.

You nibble on your bottom lip in consideration of his compromise, eventually bringing yourself to hand him your phone again and say, "Fine, but I'm chopping one of your braids off if you delete something important."

"That Okapi has to go."

"That's important you fake blondie!"

"I'm deleting it!"

A grueling 30 minutes of back and forth about what to keep and what to delete proved somewhat helpful by it significantly increasing your storage capacity. It was also a bit of an eye opener for Ran seeing the copious number of candids you took of him without him knowing, which eased his annoyance anytime you tried to get him not to delete something you didn't need.

With your phone back in your grasp, you skim through your files and sigh with a sense of emptiness at the sight of how much space you have now. "I have to get used to this..."

"You'll be fine." Ran pat you on the head before he stood to unplug his phone, "And your phone isn't on the brink of death."

"You're exaggerating." You glance up and just so happen to catch sight of his screen, clearly seeing a notification alerting him or his dwindling storage. "Hey!"

He jumps at your sudden yell and looks back at you in surprise, "What?"

"I saw that!"

"...Saw what-"

"Haitani Ran!"

Needless to say, you raided his device and forced him to get rid of half of his unsuspecting candids of you, despite how cute he claimed them to be.
