RyoAli [Ryo Kurokiba x Alice Nakiri] - Young Ryo tries a sweet he's never had before.

Ryo lifted his head when he heard the hurried footsteps of a couple of small, very excited, feet coming closer and closer to the door. And unsurprisingly to him, Alice barged into the kitchen just a second later.

She wore on of those extra-bright smiles of her's and exclaimed. "Look what Father brought me from Paris!" Her little hands held up a fine-looking, pale pink box.

Alice came closer to him and opened it with the same excitement a pirate would open a treasure chest with. "It's macarons."

Ryo squinted at the explosion of bright colours his eyes were met with. When Alice noted the alienated expression he wore, a little frown appeared on he round face. "They're sweets...French sweets."

As Ryo remained silent, Alice (as ever so often) decided to jump into action. She grabbed a dark-pink macaron from the box and before Ryo even knew what was happening, she had already stuffed it into his mouth. "Here, try raspberry."

Instantly Ryo felt himself getting hit by the familiar berry-flavour as well as a lot of sugar. It did not exactly taste bad to him but...

"Way too sweet." He gave his verdict, resulting in a couple of stunned eye-blinks from Alice. "Don't you like sweet?"

Ryo's answer was a mediocre shrug, but apparently that was enough for familiar fires of challenge beginning to burn in Alice's eyes.

"Understood." She smiled mischievously. "Sit back and watch Ryo-kun. I'll be making you a cake! And I am certain that it will be one that even you can't say no to~!"
