“Do you want me to pretend we’re just friends?”

"No."

There was no hesitation in it, though he wasn't quite so sure what he really did want, he knew it wasn't that.

"No, I don't want that. I want you know that you have me here without feeling like you have to hide... And that means hiding from me as well. There won't be a need for that."

[shicri]

The response doesn't necessarily take Shiori off-guard, as Roy was nearly always so incredibly cool; if anything, it was simply relieving to know an even deeper working mechanism to the other's brain.. Yet, one couldn't help but be afraid. Need reassurance. Of course he knew this was new and completely uncharted territory for the other.. And yet, to see him so confident, even now..

" Thank you. "

It's really all he can say. Slowly, his old and fond smile creeps across his lips, this time with something akin to the coolness the other's own response had given, as he eases the digits of his left hand between those of Roy's right. He rather felt a bit guilty at the question out of the blue, not wanting to have stressed the other.. But having needed it. The reassurance. Blues catch those deeper ones and he decides that he hates seeing that sadness on Roy's face- knowing he himself was rather patient.

" That would have been difficult... " " After all, I don't really think I can hide my entire self. "

The uptick to the corner of his lips, gentle and faint is something only Roy would be able to notice.. A teasing little quip of a tease to lighten the mood and the burden he had just placed on the other's shoulders.

It'd been a long time since she'd had a strawberry. At the time she had it, it was perfectly ripe, straight off the vine. It was rewarding to taste the literal fruit of her labor.

But to see it now in a beverage that smelled of the likeness of the berry, but sweeter somehow and inviting... she honestly was curious to try it, however interesting it was that he could even make such a thing in the first place.

" This is called tea, right? "

She had finally lifted it to her lips, blowing a bit onto it before taking a sip. It did have the very essence of strawberry, from the bitter to the sweet, but it was so hydrating and fresh that she had to take a moment before saying much else.

" That's... really good. How did you manage to make it? "

Before she had tasted it, she had no interest at all in how it was made. She actually thought it may have been a waste of food and water, but after, she seemed much more curious and open to the idea of it.

[shicri]

" It is! "

His cheery grin is rather radiant for his usual solitude, the guy seeming pleased that the other knew that much about what he had created for her.

" I boiled tea leaves with strawberries I diced, and added some honey as well.. I managed to find some and stored it the other day as I was out with the supply team.. I got a few weird looks, but I think it was worth it. I've been growing tea plants myself for a little while, now.. Took a while to get ahold of them, but..- "

He drifts off, just finding himself smiling in pride at getting such a response from the usually-sarcastic girl.

Yet, quickly, his gaze is falling to the ground as the words seem to tack onto him without the other even once saying them.

These ingredients still shouldn't be abused.

" I- I know it seems sort of unnecessary b-but I - it's really nice to c-calm and relax yourself.. I-In fact I try to find or pay - pay for all of the ingredients myself.. And - I ..Don't waste anything.. "

And he's stuttering again.

[ficryfingcrs]

Nodding in approval very slowly.

[secondequinox]

" Ih nah haf bah. "

Quickly she's lighting another right in front of the clearly shocked young man, smirking behind the hand the holds the rolled piece of paper (and other contents not recommended for a nineteen year old woman).

" I'm lying, they're absolutely horrible. "

She's chuckling softly at the look on his face, as well as the sheer social anxiety of the topic, apparent from his very energy.

" I just got a pack and honestly didn't know what to do with it, so I decided to freak you out. Kinda worth it. "

[shicri]

The poor man simply watches in basically horror for a long moment as the younger woman lights yet ANOTHER cigarette right in front of him for evident dramatic affect. Even as she reveals that it was all in jest he can't help a double blink before his lips purse the faintest bit, a completely clueless blink given once more.

" A-ah. I - well I didn't think they'd be all that great...- "

Shiori casts the woman a hesitant smile before finally he seems to relax a bit more, visibly apparent in his shoulders untensing and becoming more slack before the faint quirk to his brow is also rested. Yet his voice? Completely as meek as it had been moments before.

" Are.. You sure it's worth it if you had to taste that, just for a gag..? "

Oh god, yeah, it probably if not most certainly totally would be for Autumn considering the guy had looked like he'd seen a goldfish speak with how he had stared at her in both concern and confident-lacking panic.

"Was that that Anus Unnus guy?”

“Is that the youtuber all these kids keep saying Hughes looks like?”

He’s still extremely unaware of the technology stuff and by this point tries his best to avoid it, but his poor, dearest friend seems to always get pestered about some… ‘’ Mark With Pliers ‘’ guy and it’s honestly gotten quite irritating.

“Regardless, no. I don’t even think that he would be in this area for any reason. A videographer has no business here… Can’t say it would be shame to see him around though, it would be nice to finally see the resemblance.”

[shicri]

" Ah. I suppose he does look like Mr. Hughes. "

Shiori hadn't even thought about it before, nor really looked at the guy much past the occasional clip he stumbled upon yet, the alikeness was.. Rather bizarre. Sure the guy didn't have short hair, and he was a bit more squared off in shape, yet there was that similar father-like pride that radiated from the two men that was undeniably apparent.

" Maybe he is here? " The man is typing away at his little laptop and pulling up a page, blinking up at the other in both bewilderment and curious confusion.

" It says he's making a video by the park... So about fifteen minutes from us... That's really funny, actually. " Despite saying it's very funny, the guy doesn't even smile at the computer; too deep in thought wondering what other likenesses the famous person had to their very own dear friend.

❛ before you do anything, try this and tell me what you think. ❜

“If it’s that mud water stuff everyone always talks about, I think I’ll pass.”

Regardless of dismissing it however, she’d caught a slight sniff of it and glanced at the contents of the cup being offered to her, beginning to reconsider her decision. She was still wary of it, but had given it this much of her attention already.

“What is it?”

Taking the cup into her hands, she brought it closer to give it a much better whiff.

[shicri]

" No, it's not mud water. I guess- some people might call it that.. But- It's much better than mud water.. I was able t-to buy some ingredients to make it.. "

The drink had an oddly sweet scent to it, something that wasn't so normal to come across in this day and age. Yet- somehow, Shiori had managed it. The liquid wasn't brown, instead, miraculously it held an almost reddish hue.

" I even saved some of the strawberries so you could eat them.. "

[shicri]

❝ last night, i smoked a cigarette. ❞

" Oh, you did? "

Wait, was she even old enough to smoke? Does it even matter? If he gives a positive response, is he encouraging it? Should he be encouraging someone to try smoking? What's the best way to respond to something like that?

" Haha, cool.. "

This feels wrong, somehow.

[ficryfingcrs]

"Please tell me you're going to eat that." The shorter male's gaze is stuck on a piece of waffle that had been sitting on the other's plate the entire time they had been talking. Their food had been delivered eons before; yet that small piece of the meal remained untouched. "It looks so sad."

“Well, you can’t blame me for forgetting I had food in front of me, I was invested in the conversation.”

He’d eyed the last couple bites of his delicious Belgium Waffle and only now remembered just how hungry he was, sort of taken aback that he was truly that involved in the topic at hand to forget to eat such a treat.

“Did you want the last bit? I didn’t think it was like you to notice, perhaps you wanted bite for yourself.”

A cocky little grin crossed his lips as he raised the glass of water to meet them, thinking maybe, just somehow, Shiori had grown a little bolder.

[shicri]

" Well you were devouring it like a starving animal just a few minutes ago~ "

Shiori takes a moment to gleam over the look the other man was giving him before a giggle burbles past his lips, eyes narrowing in that relaxed manner they did anytime he was truly amused by the other. His chin rests onto his palm as he still watches the other,

" But the waffle does sound good. You did eat my french toast.. I only think it's fair now. "
