I just... want to make sure you know what you're doin', that's all.

[His tone is an evasive mumble.]

[hasthepotential]

Why don't you tell me what I'm doing? ♥

[Scream she's trying really hard not to laugh here to be honest but the response is worth any risk..!]

sorry couldn't resist

[adios_comma_asshole]

Think you're trying to have your cake and eat it, too.

[Grumble and bluster.]

Sob of course

[hasthepotential]

[And she just rolls with it.]

What flavor, I wonder...?

[adios_comma_asshole]

Don't think this is the place to be answering a question like that.

[Turnabout is fair play when it comes to innuendo, right? Anyway, he's gotta defend himself somehow.]

[hasthepotential]

[Minako pleasantly took another sip of her tea, though she was quickly losing interest in it.] I don't think anyone can over-hear us. ♥

[YOUR DEFENSES ARE USELESS AGAINST HER.]

[adios_comma_asshole]

Maybe it's more a demonstration thing than an explanation.

[The answer was prompt, anyway, and whether or not it made a whole lot of sense it sounded good.]

[hasthepotential]

[It really didn't matter how much sense it made, because Minako didn't give it enough thought before she nearly dropped her tea-cup.]

S...Senpai..!

[She blinked owlishly. Maybe she deserved a bit of that.]

[adios_comma_asshole]

Don't start it if you can't finish it, hotshot.

[hasthepotential]

[She feigns a pout, rather obviously. The smile alone was worth the bit of embarrassment, but he'd managed to actually strike her dumb.]

[adios_comma_asshole]

[Not only does he smile -- after a moment, he actually chuckles, and stretches a little, the way he will sometimes after he's won a fight.]

Don't worry about it, if it's that bad. Not supposed to rush your way through a meal anyway, right?

[hasthepotential]

[Minako leans over the table a bit and stares sheepishly into the shallow pool of tea left in her cup.]

...didn't say anything about it being bad...

[adios_comma_asshole]

... Yeah?

[He tries, very hard, and unsuccessfully, not to sound a little bit hopeful.]

[hasthepotential]

[She peeks up from behind her bangs, sitting back up in her chair and taking her cup of tea to hide behind.]

Knowing what I do about you--you obviously have good taste so...[Wouldn't flavor be a given? ♥]

[adios_comma_asshole]

Heh. Damn right.

[Pause.]

Not too sure about your taste, though.

[hasthepotential]

[Minako lunges forward on the table and glares across at him.]

What's that supposed to mean?!

[After she was being SO NICE to you!!]

[adios_comma_asshole]

Hey, not everybody can have a perfect palate.

[His tone is joking, dismissive... but he's not talking about cake, and he's not really joking. Why she's got any interest in him at all is not only a mystery, but something suspicious, something he can't help but question. It just doesn't make sense.]

[hasthepotential]

I never realized senpai was so into himself...

[She sat back in her seat and took the final sip that polished off her tea.] It's not like you're the only one who can cook, y'know.

[She folds her arms over her chest and crosses her legs.] And it's a well-known fact that girls are the universal experts of sweets.

[adios_comma_asshole]

Sweets you haven't tried...

[He mutters it under his breath. Yeah, they're not even remotely talking about cake anymore.]

[hasthepotential]

Are you offering?

[She doesn't even wait a beat to quip back.]

[adios_comma_asshole]

You don't know what you're talking about. You get that, right? No way you'd be pickin' on a guy like me if you did know.

[hasthepotential]

'A guy like you'? [Minako picks up a fork and reaches over to poke at what's left on Shinjiro's plate.] What's that even supposed to mean?

[adios_comma_asshole]

Tch.

[It was uncomfortable to put into words, to actually describe himself from his own perspective, not least because it felt like gearing up for a fight -- he knew he was going to get contradicted.]

I'm saying I'm not a nice guy. Good in a fight, sure, and somebody's gotta look after Aki, but whatever you think you're looking for, I shouldn't be it.

[hasthepotential]

[She stabs a piece of cake, circling it around playfully, dragging it through the fruit syrup embellishing the plate it rested on.]

I wasn't necessarily looking for anything in particular...[She brings the piece of cake to her mouth, holding it in front of her to pause before biting down.]...and I never thought you were a 'nice guy.'

[She hooks her foot behind his ankle, biting down on the piece of cake without breaking eye-contact.]

[adios_comma_asshole]

So what do you think I am, then?

[It was a question he didn't want to ask, blurted before he could rethink it -- because he wanted to know the answer. What the Hell could anybody see in someone like him, anyway? And... was whatever it was actually there?]
