Obviously.

[The tiniest, tiniest of smiles.]

Obviously~

[He sees that smile! Heizou is counting that as a win for him.

He talks Wanderer's ear off about the new books he's picked up until they get there. At which point he orders for both of them; it's easy to guess what Wanderer will like, after all. And of course he makes sure Wanderer knows that this is all still Heizou's treat.]

Don't even think about repaying for any of this. If you try, I'll just keep taking you out~

[He rolls his eyes.]

I understood that the first six times you said it. You're paying me back for finding your Vision.

[He spreads his hands with a shrug.]

Hey, you're stubborn. I have to make sure the message sinks in properly.

Do you? Do you really?

I do. Seeing as you certainly haven't caught on to the fact that some of us here actually like you.

I try not to assume everyone is an idiot masochist.

[Wanderer...]

[That makes Heizou grin, amused.]

Awwww, you always say the sweetest things. Careful now, you might make me like you more~

[Just the most baffled-yet-judgemental look.]

[His grin just grows a little.

And of course that's when their drinks are ready at the counter, so Heizou goes to grab both and hand Wanderer his bitter, bitter tea.]

Here you go~
