The pause that Beta took after Fudou’s declaration was a bit unnerving, but Fudou couldn’t seem to rouse the efforts to be bothered by it. As she dragged him to the counter of ice cream flavors, his smug grin widened, his suspicions confirmed. He stood by the counter, eyeing all the flavors with amusement before opening his mouth to speak.
"Got something of a sweet tooth, do you?" he questioned, his attention still on all the different kinds of ice cream flavors. He’d never heard of some of these flavors, was it becoming a new fad or something?
The mohawked boy shrugged internally, dismissing his own question directed at nobody. It didn’t matter, there’s nothing wrong with ice cream. Good on a hot day or after practice, all that. It was also fun to shove into people’s faces when they weren’t paying attention.
It was easily noticed that both Beta and Fudou’s hands were connected, but the boy himself didn’t pay too much attention to it. It was when he spotted a very colorful flavor full of purples, pinks and greens that he let go, using that same hand instead to point to the peculiar looking ice cream, his finger up against the glass and confusion clear on his face.
"Wait, what the hell is that one?" Ice cream shouldn’t be all those bright colors!
Beta realised that she didn't recognise any of these ice cream flavours either, apart from the most standard ones such as strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate. Still, they looked good enough, if not a little bit on the bland side compared to the ones she was used to. Maybe this was yet another side effect of the time travel rumour - for some reason, she was now perfectly content with accepting this as fact, even though there wasn't any concrete evidence towards it.
Suddenly, Beta felt Fudou's hand yank away from hers, and she turned to him, slightly alarmed. She relaxed, however, when she saw that he was simply shocked by... something. The ice cream, most likely, since he was pointing at it with an incredulous face.
"It looks like the Alice In Wonderland flavour back at home!" Beta said cheerfully, pressing her face and hands against the glass as well. "We should try it out!"
It didn't feel half-bad, this.
