Shifts in the Days

by Synergetic Prose

Connected drabbles set about two years after the series: There's something changing between them. Leon isn't as enclosed in his own fortress of ice and Sora's finding it easier to approach him, especially now that they're partners. "I wonder why he's loosened up," Sora wondered aloud. May wanted to strangle her naive friend. "You idiot. He's like that around you!"

36. Chapter 36

Sora knocked on Rosetta's door.

She tapped the toe of her shoe against the ground as she waited for her friend to come out. The door opened with a soft click.

"Sora?"

"Hey Rosetta! I was wondering if you know any good French dishes."

Mint eyes blinked. "I know a few, but why—" The younger girl stopped her question as she connected the dots.

Sora + French Food + Dating= "You're making food for Leon?"

The redhead lightly blushed. "Yeah. I decided to make him something for our dinner date. I brainstormed a few ideas when I thought some French dishes would be a good idea." She rubbed the back of her neck. "I, uh, heard about a few like escargots," she wrinkled her nose, "but I don't feel like cooking them. Or frog legs."

"Frog legs aren't solely a French cuisine." Rosetta leaned against the door way. "They're not so bad either. It's like eating a fishy chicken." She tilted her head in thought. "Though, I've heard that when you're cooking them the legs twitch because of the heat or something."

Sora blanched.

Rosetta quickly spoke up, "Ok, so no frogs. How about lobster?" She immediately winced as she recalled how they're cooked. "Maybe you should try a vegetarian dish."

"I think so too."

AN: Yes, I know Rosetta's from Belgium, but in the series I believe it said that she lived in France.
