Summary: Thoughts of inadequacy can easily be put to rest by a popular dessert—ice cream. Cookies 'n Cream at that. Itadakimasu!
Prized
"Maybe this will help."
Her eyes snapped open at the sound of a deep voice.
She saw a pint of Cookies 'n Cream flavored ice cream being offered to her.
She traced the hand that was holding it with her eyes and met the icy blue gaze of Mikagami Tokiya.
"I don't need that." She muttered stubbornly, looking away and completely ignoring the ice cream.
Maybe it's pride.
She's not quite sure.
Or maybe it's embarrassment knowing that he was there at the auditorium and saw the whole thing.

"This looks better on you." Tokiya poked the side of her lips.
Fuuko felt a sudden chill whip up her spine but her face felt warm. She could bet she looked like a tomato on top of an iceberg.
"Because when you were frowning you look like a monster. A really scary monster." Tokiya added, turning away rather too quickly.
Fuuko glared at him and pushed him off with huff before crossing her arms.
"A 'thank you' would be nice." He muttered as he headed towards the door going inside.
"Michan!" Fuuko called out, stopping him on his tracks.
She bit her lower lip in hesitation when he didn't turn around. He could be stubborn like that but she knew he was waiting for what she has to say.
"Thanks." She said softly with a smile.

And when the door closed, he smiled.
