Rock-paper-scissors

“A game, huh?” She echoed as she looked up at me, her lips curving up slightly. “You’re not trying to slack off or just flirt with me, are you?”

I pushed my chair closer to her, enough that our shoulders touched.

“You wounded me, senpai. Think of it as my way to give you some stress relief. Remember last week? You looked so tired from all the work handed to you. I didn’t have time back then but now… I think I can spare some time before we go and help them out in the conference room.”

Minami Shouko exhaled through her nose as she pretended to contemplate. “And what exactly do you have in mind? Don’t tell me it’s the same ‘one question, one answer’ game.”

“Not this time,” I replied as I inched closer to her, my naughty hands gradually stretching around her back, “How about something simpler? Rock-paper-scissors.”

She noticed what I was doing and immediately leaned back, trapping my hand between the backrest of her chair and her back.
