In the cafeteria, May watched from her table as Sora and Leon entered.
A few heads turned to look at Leon's silver hair as it floated as he walked. May rolled her eyes as dreamy sighs sounded around her. She took a bite of her sandwich, still watching their progression. Leon sullenly walked, but it must have been too slow for Sora or something for the redhead turned towards him in order to grasp his hand.
May took a breath in and proceeded to half choke on her food.
She coughed out some tomato and bread and quickly grabbed her cup to soothe her throat. The drama was unveiling some more.
Finally!
What with the end of her Netflix free trial, she was out of TV shows and movies to watch, having exhaust YouTube and Hulu already. There was the same old stuff even though there were new shows. The plots were too similar for her tastes.
She saw Sora's mouth moving, but she couldn't quite hear what was being said. Darn!
Quickly thinking of what to do, she got up to snag some other food item.

A thrill washed over him when she grabbed his hand.
He reminded himself of Dr. Kate's words and let it travel instead of stressing over it. He slowly blinked as the feeling of her hand in his settled into a warm, comfortable feeling.
Curious.
She went into the food line and he followed, still holding onto her hand.
"We can share a tray," she chirruped, flashing a smile at him when he continued to hold hands. She grabbed a tray with her free hand and moved down the line.
"Salad?" she asked.
He slowly shook his head, the warmth in him making him feel languid and relaxed. His earlier indignation of having her come get food with him passed somewhat as he took some comfort in her presence instead of worrying over his symptoms.
What a difference attitude had over how he reacted to his condition.
Sora hummed a little as they passed that section and onto the soups and pasta section. She grabbed a soup bowl for some chili, putting the bowl down and then uncovering the lid with the saucy beans and meat. As she scooped some in her bowl, Leon peered at the labels of the other options. Sora smiled as he silently debated what to get.
"You've not been in here before, right?"
"No," he murmured, finally grabbing a bowl but still not sure what to get though he knew he was interested in getting one of these options.
"You can mix them up," she suggested, "if one soup lacks something that you want from another one."
He had not considered that. He gave a nod to her in a silent thanks; she beamed back at him and then proceeded to sprinkle some cheddar cheese on the chili. He waited for the initial shakiness that came with her smile to lessen and then he uncovered a lid.
Sora was putting a dollop of sour cream when she thought of something.
"Ah, Leon," she started, a light pink appearing on her cheeks, "does this count as our date?"
He may not have been aware what asking someone out meant, but the word 'date' was definitely recognizable to him, having trained himself to come over when a boy asked Sophie on a date so he could ward the boy away.
Date Date Date Date Date Date Date Date Date Date...
The metal ladle slipped out of his hand, loudly clattering onto the counter.
