That ain't quite how it works.

[muttered, because this is only a token protest.]

[hasthepotential]

Have you tried before..?

[Half flirtatious, half faux-jealous. Entirely aiming to throw you off.]

[adios_comma_asshole]

What?

[He's only belatedly catching on to the double meanings.]

Hey, what kind of question is that, anyway?

[hasthepotential]

[Oh come on senpai, you're smarter than that.]

It's just a question!

[Except totally not because she'll certainly twist your answer to her favor somehow.]

[adios_comma_asshole]

Well. I mean. It ain't like I never indulged myself a little before.

[hasthepotential]

[Ooh. She wasn't expecting that answer.

Oooh no, now she's blushing a bit..!]

[adios_comma_asshole]

[Level stare.]

Tch.

Don't go askin' questions if you're not prepared for the answers.

[hasthepotential]

...pervert.

[Oops, too late...her mind's already gone down that road. What was it they were talking about, again?]

[adios_comma_asshole]

Hey, don't go jumping to conclusions! I said what I meant. You want to read something into it? Maybe you got a few more questions you need to ask first.

[hasthepotential]

[An invitation to more prying? Don't mind if she does!]

So what indulging are we talking about, senpai?

[adios_comma_asshole]

Maybe I'm just sayin' I've had cake before, you ever think of that?

[As evasions go, this one is beyond transparent.]

[hasthepotential]

[Yeah, and she's not letting up on it just yet.]

Oh yeah? I thought you didn't like cake.

[adios_comma_asshole]

Gotta try it at least once to find out, don't you?

[Now they're not talking about cake again. Oops.]

[hasthepotential]

[Folding her arms and judging you.]

So you decided you didn't like it, huh?

[Siiigh.] Guess I'll have to eat my cake with someone else, then...ho-hum.

[adios_comma_asshole]

Is that what I said? if you got a point to make, why not lay your cards on the table first? I think I've been pretty good about playing along so far.

[Glower.]

[hasthepotential]

[Ooh, now that was an interesting reaction...]

A-ha! So you do like it! [Chinhanding.] Y'got a favorite?

[How's that throat feeling, by the way?]

[adios_comma_asshole]

I like green tea and coconut. Or kasutera with just a little bit of caramel. I like making sweet potato cakes, but I don't really care whether or not people save any for me. And fruit's all right if it's got the real stuff in and not just flavoring.

[His answer is gravel-voiced, still fairly quiet. He arches an eyebrow and settles into his seat, waiting.]

Guess you could say I've tried everything. What about you?

[hasthepotential]

[For a moment she forgot the double entendre she'd intended, but with that concluding sentence, she was quickly reminded.

Bah, it wasn't working, now she's the one getting flustered.]

...a...m...my favorite...

[adios_comma_asshole]

Turnabout's fair play, right? Come on, you can't expect me to say anything if you're not going to.

[Either he's very serious about cake or he's enjoying twisting the screws, but either way, his voice is level and his face is serious but vaguely innocent.]

[hasthepotential]

[All is not lost. She could still turn this around on him if she wanted...]

...L...lavender...with lemon! [Yeah! She's totally got this!] Relaxing, soothing. A little sour with the sweet.

[Damn, she's good.]

[adios_comma_asshole]

Yeah?

[There's a niggling hint of curiosity in his voice, evident even buried as it is, and before he says anything else he takes a long sip of the freshly arrived tea and sighs in satisfaction.

All right, maybe she was right about this tea shop idea.]

And exactly how much cake have you tried, anyway?

[Which isn't to say he's gonna stop messing with her.]

[hasthepotential]

[A knowing smile crosses Minako's face--maybe a smirk, actually--and she sits back.]

Enough to know what I'm talking about. But naturally, I'm a girl, so trying out cakes and other things comes with the territory!

[She weaves her fingers together and flexes them before picking up her cup of tea.]

You don't have to try everything to know what you like and don't like!

so how far along in their relationship are they at this point?

[adios_comma_asshole]

Other things, huh?

[Pause for more tea, staring at her over the rim of the cup.]

You might think you know. But how are you gonna be sure?

However far along you like! ♥ What is decision-making? orz

[hasthepotential]

[She saw that look...and she shifts in her seat a bit.]

...you don't have to be sure. As long as you're happy. I guess.

nooo I also hate decisions. after they've started dating but before she's jumped him.

[adios_comma_asshole]

... Yeah, maybe.

[He's only going to give that ground because it's a tender subject. She shouldn't have to eat any more cake than she wants to, right? He's not gonna be the jackass who says otherwise. But this talk about being happy...]
