[It is certainly a situationship.]

Maybe I just don't want to say "yes" or "no".

[book2thehead]

[Which is fine. Heizou's used to people not liking him the same way he likes them.]

Do you ever~?

[threebetrayals]

Wouldn't you like to know. Here.

[Your fake tea, sir.]

[book2thehead]

Thank you~

[He chuckles softly as he straightens up, pulling the cup of tea closer to join the sugar and milk he still has next to him. Time to make Wanderer's favorite abomination!]

Are you making some for yourself? Surely you're not thinking about leaving me alone in your kitchen with my tea, right~?

[threebetrayals]

You'd just follow me out if I did, because I trust you're not foolish enough to try and make anything deep-fried in my kitchen.

[book2thehead]

[Heizou's just laughing again while he stirs his tea.]

You also don't keep the right oils for it~

[threebetrayals]

And there's a reason for it. It's unhealthy~

[book2thehead]

[He smirks.]

It's delicious~

[threebetrayals]

You're impossible. I don't know why I like you so much, honestly~

[He's teasing.]

[book2thehead]

[That makes his eyes go big for a second, heat rushing up into his face. And then he very quickly attempts to laugh it off, looking back down at his teacup.]

It's the flowers, isn't it? I always knew you liked flowers~

[threebetrayals]

The flowers are a perk, it's true.

[But just a perk. Not the sole reason.]

[book2thehead]

I see.

[Wanderer might get the distinct impression that Heizou is focusing on stirring the tea in his teacup solely to keep himself from looking the other in the face.]

...Are there other perks you like?

[threebetrayals]

Obviously. Your intelligence, for one.

[book2thehead]

That's a perk?

[threebetrayals]

I said it was, didn't I?

[book2thehead]

That seems like less of a perk, and more like a feature, no?

[threebetrayals]

Features can be perks.

[book2thehead]

[He chuckles a little, finally taking a sip of his tea.]

I suppose that's true... You being pretty is a perk~

[threebetrayals]

[He scoffs.]

I'm not pretty.

[book2thehead]

[He turns a fond smile on him at that.]

No? I think you're very pretty, Wanderer~

[threebetrayals]

[Another scoff, but...]

Is that why you like me?

[Said casually, but Wanderer is clearly a bit on edge as he asks it.]

[book2thehead]

That's not the only reason. Like I said, it's a perk~

[He turns his attention back on his tea, sipping at it carefully. And eventually he adds, very quietly-]

...It's kind of hard to explain.

[threebetrayals]

As in you can't explain it, or you won't?

[He just. needs to know. Maybe.]

[book2thehead]

[He lets out a very soft huff, back to stirring his tea and watching the way the liquid swirls. It might not be all that obvious, but... he's nervous.]

As in... I feel like I shouldn't. Like if I try, you'll run away.

[threebetrayals]

I'm asking, aren't I?
