"You're kidding me?!"
Though used to people making loud exclamations around him, Minato's cheeks still turned a faint pink color as he turned head away slightly. Coughing once to mask his embarrassment, Minato willed the blush down before turning his gaze back to meet Kenji's. A beat, and then Minato shook his head. No, he hadn't been kidding.
Groaning and covering his face with one hand, Kenji debated if death by drowning in ramen was a viable option to go by. In the end, Kenji decided that, while death-by-soup would be a nice way to go, he'd be wasting perfectly good soup in the process. And wasting ramen was not something he wanted to do, regardless of the reason for it.
"This sounds like some kind of bad stand-up comedy routine," Kenji muttered around his hand. "I'm the one chasing after older women and you're the one who has them falling all over you." A pause and then Kenji was glaring at Minato. "And to top it off, you won't tell me who it is! Just that it's someone we know. That's just the worst man."
Smiling sheepishly, Minato tried to come up with a suitable reply to his friend's woes... But in the end, he decided that silence was his friend and ate another mouthful of soup.
"Man, if you weren't my friend, could seriously resent your luck with women," Kenji finished with a sigh. And then it was quiet between the two of them as Kenji went back to eating his ramen, albeit this time a touch more discontentedly. However, when an idea for a bit of revenge cropped up, he couldn't help but take the opportunity.
"So, Minato-kun... What would you suggest I should say if I wanted to pick-up on someone like Ms. Toriumi?"
Kenji couldn't help but grin at the soft choking and sputtering response he received.
