AN: this is a special 200-word drabble I wrote for myself, for my birthday :)
Prompt: I had sushi with a friend while I was in England. And they had the funniest little pods for all the sushi dishes, and they even served deserts! Slices of fruit, and pankaces with custard, and chocolate-mousse cakes! XD So I just had to write something about it all.
Shuichi and Hiro were sampling the new sushi place that had opened next to NG Studios. They found seats near two foreign girls – tourists, if their maps and cameras were any indication. They were talking in English and laughing at the little pods of sushi as they passed them on the conveyor belt, trying to figure out what was what. The taller girl was doing most of the talking, correctly identifying several dishes of maki and nigiri.
Shuichi kept an amused eye on them as he and Hiro chose their own dishes off the belt. The sushi was good, if a little enthusiastic with the wasabi. The shorter of the girls apparently felt the same as she poured herself a huge glass of water. Shuichi sipped at his own glass while Hiro nursed his beer, brooding over the latest guitar riff he was unable to get just right.
As they began picking deserts off the belt, Shuichi suddenly heard the two girls laughing hysterically. He followed their gazes and had to suppress a grin himself: arriving on the conveyor belt was a group of pods containing small, round chocolate cakes, each sat on a ridiculous little mat of banana leaves.
