7 The fluff continues~ (2)

- MC's POV -

"I am lying if I say I'm not surprised that you acknowledged you were satisfied with this Suzune~... I thought you would just be annoyed... I'm really happy~. Oh! And your rare beautiful smile honestly suits you, it added to your charm... I like it." I said the former while rubbing the back of my head with a little smile on my stoic face, the latter complimenting her with a serious stoic face, staring straight at her eyes.

"A- ri- ga- tou... (Thank you)" She mumbled slowly while averting her eyes and blushing furiously.

'I truly am happy with our development... Right now that is...' I thought.

"Let's take it gradually... And make fate do its thing~." I said like a Wise Man...

"For now... Let's eat our lunch! It will surely get cold if we did not eat it any minute now..." I suggested and she responded "Un." While nodding.

"Wait... I have a question..." I said to her which the latter immediately put her attention to me.

"Is my dish... Delicious? Is it to your liking?~" I asked her with a hopeful voice.

"I... F-forgot the taste because of what h-happened after..." She said embarrassedly while looking at me expectantly and my lunch.

"Hmm..." I look at her doubtfully and ask "Are you... Lying because you just want to taste it again?..." And bingo! After I asked her she hid her face with both of her hands because of embarrassment.

'I could let her have a taste again and be done with it but... There's no fun in that so... Let's tease her...' But... before I could speak...

"It's n-not delicious..." She said... Oh... That makes me a little sad and again... Before I could speak... "B-but It is mind-blowingly delicious! And I certainly like it!..." She continued while raising her voice a little... It seems she notice my saddened expression on my stoic face earlier, Hah... That made me sigh in relief, the sadness I felt before, washed away, replaced by a little smile on my oh! So always of a stoic face.

"T-that's why don't make that s-sad expression again... It made me feel sad too when I saw that... And... I honestly... L-like your always stoic expression on your face... Also your s-smile too... W-why are you m-making me say this?!... Bakanokoji... This so embarrassing..." She said, keeping her head low while the latter, she said with a raised voice because of embarrassment, then she now reach the point where she kept murmuring "Wa-wa-wa-wa..." and there is imaginary steam coming out from her head which is red as a tomato.

'This is really... Cute... Probably, this is one of the personalities of this cute Proud Princess that only you can see if you go with this route... And this truly made me happy.' I thought while looking at the adorable scene happening in front of me.

"Arigatou~ That made me happy, Suzune~..." I said which makes her go back from the embarrassment she felt earlier to herself including her beautiful smile staring at me.

"Now, in the other case... Our lunch is now cold..." I said which ignited a chuckle from the two of us.

"Let's me share with you... I like the wiener... (A/T: No pun intended... And no gae vibe intended here...) Could you give me some?" I ask her while picking it up with my chopsticks but she stops me... I look at her with a questioning expression but she just shook her head.

She picks up a wiener (A/T: Srsly, no pun intended...) with her chopsticks and placed it mid-air directly at me while saying "Aaa-" motioning me to open my mouth. I obeyed, not so she could put her wiener in my mouth... (A/T: ...) But so I could speak.

"Hooh... So daring~..." I said with a little bit of teasing tone in my stoic voice... While her reaction is another masterpiece... Made by me...

"T-this is just payback from you..." She said with a blushing face while averting her eyes and she continued with "Hurry up before I change my mind..." And now, I certainly obeyed her and chomp on the wiener. (A/T: I am speechless at my wording...) She has a hopeful look on her face and my answer does not disappoint her.

"It's delicious~... One more~" And she sighed in relief and heeded my expectation.

"Me too... Give me some of yours too..." (Author has no comment at this) She said while pouting, I just smiled while thinking 'She's cute too when pouting...' and heeded her wish.

...

They continued feeding each other... While this is happening... Suddenly the door in the classroom opens.

"Nothing lasts forever" Is certainly a good quote for this...

End of Chapter Seven.
