I know! That's why I'm telling you to not say it! I'm a healthy young man, do you have any idea how many guys would kill to have the girl they like tell that to them even once?! It's too much!

If you wouldn't start to think that sort of stuff about it, there would be nothing wrong with it, you know--

[ ... cutting herself off, because wait he did just say 'the girl they like' didn't he oh god he's getting more and more clear about it even though it was pretty obvious before.. ]

Sorry for having hormones and an active imagination.

[He sighs and scowls, looking away half embarrassed. He scratches his head for a second before he shakes it and attempts to grab her hand to start walking, leaving the dome.]

Whatever, let's continue. As good as it was to hear you say that it's not what I want to hear today. Save it for next year.

[ She does allow him to grab her hand again, although she doesn't actively offer it out, and lets herself be led along more or less passively as she thinks about it - it's not what she wanted to say, not at all, and the sheer thought of it embarasses her because of the misunderstanding.

She wants to say something, opening her mouth, but.. she just swallows the words again, instead shaking her head a little as she walks. ]

[She should choose her words better then. Initially Keiichi leads her a bit quickly, wanting to leave the dome and the moment behind as fast as possible. But soon they end back on the same mere walking around peacefully.]

Are you hungry?

[ This is a girl who barely spent time around any guys her age before, okay. It's what an all girls school and isolation does to you. Amakusa comes the closest to 'a guy her age' and he's still way older than her.. ]

Well.. A little, I guess? [ she carefully glances over a little to Keiichi again now. ]

Good. Let's have dinner then.

[Off to the restaurant now! But still walking calmly after he checks his watch. Yup, still time.]

[ What are you keeping track of the time for, mister Maebara.. but it's okay, Ange just walks along. ]

What kind of dinner did you have in mind, then?

Does it matter? I thought you said you were okay with anything.

[Lalala, heading for the Seventh Heaven. Okay, we now know it has chances of being fancy at the very least.]

So now you decided to turn it against me, huh?

[ but even as she says that, a little more like her usual deadpan already (but not completely there yet) he's right - she really is okay with anytime dinner-wise, okay. ]

... Oh, a real restaurant dinner?

Sorry, home made dinner is out of the options, I don't want to spend the night with you in the clinic due food poisoning.

[Neither he wanted to make Minato cook for them.]

Why are you apologizing for that? [ nudging him a little in the side with her elbow. ]

I don't mind this at all.

Well, you seemed surprised as if you expected something else.

Well, you're a pretty unpredictable person, after all, who knows what could have happened, you know?

Unpredictable? Really? Why do you say so?

I don't know anyone else who would dump flowers outside my room in the morning randomly.

[ even if she knows that was partially the experiment pushing him. ]

So I guess I'm allowed to call it 'unpredictable'.

[The experiment only pushed him to "follow his heart", okay? It would have happened sooner or later either way.]

Flowers are a pretty cliché part of wooing a girl, though. And you liked them, right?

Bringing a girl a bouquet of them, not putting that many out there randomly.

[ But.. well, she has to agree on the latter part - she didn't mind, not at all, and it had been rather sweet that someone did all that just for her, the way nobody had before.. ]

... Yeah, I liked them. It's not like I minded it.

Ah, but I didn't want to reveal myself right away! And if I went out for you with a bouquet you would have had to reject me directly. The way I did it you could have just stopped it all at any moment before you went to have lunch with me.

[He smiles at her, the last thing he wanted to do was force her for anything, right from the start it had been that way.]

Besides, I wanted it to be special, not just cliché.

Did you think I would reject your offer that badly? I mean.. I ended up coming to Seventh Heaven in the end, right?

It was a possibility. Besides I didn't trust myself to not be overwhelming if I did that directly... I suppose I'm still being so but... You're not complaining so I guess it's okay for now.

Overwhelming is your style, pretty much. I don't think you could manage to not be overwhelming even if you tried.

[ it's not a bad thing though, and it's easy to read that fact off her face - even with Ange being.. well, Ange, there's a faint hint of a smile. ]

But you can keep being that way.

[Girl, don't tell him that, he really tried to not be so! You saying all his plans failed?]

Maybe I should just give up and be straight forward if my attempts to not be overwhelming fail so much.

[ sorry, she's a very honest person ~~unless it comes down to her own feelings~~, okay. and she didn't mean it in a bad kind of way, or she would have told him before. ]

Being straightforward, huh.. [ what do you even mean by that, Keiichi, you have already practically confessed to her plenty of times by now. ] You mean you haven't been so far yet?

Not really. I could be if you want to, though. If you think you can take it, that is.

[The smirk he displays isn't different from the one used in games when he's throwing out a challenge. Having played with him already she should be able to recognize it.]
