Akane looked down at her cell phone, dismayed, and yet intrigued. Kazama didn't really mean… Did he? She rolled her eyes, deleting the message and slipping her cell phone into her pocket. Of course he didn't mean it. Kazama liked to joke about things like that.
But maybe…
Shaking her head quickly, Akane felt herself falling back to reality, and her eyes took into the sight of Subaru, forming words she didn't quite understand for a moment:
"Oh, hey, Akane. The teddy bear machine's free now. Wanna play?"
The buzzing and bustle of the arcade around them suddenly returned at Akane sighed, giving her consent before reaching her hand in her pocket, feeling the cell phone. Oh, what did it matter if he was kidding? It was flattering for him to ask her out, even if she was taken.
Subaru turned, a small smile on his face, and gestured for her to hurry up. Rolling her eyes, she slipped her hand out of her pocket and trotted to catch up with him, taking his arm with both her hands and letting him lead her to the teddy bear machine.
I wonder what Subaru-kun would do, if he knew… She had to giggle, trying to imagine Subaru getting protective or manly. The image just made her laugh harder. Subaru looked down at her, confused, but taking her laughter as enjoyment, continued on with the game.
Oh, he's too good for me sometimes. Akane thought to herself, the invitation still lying ever present in the back of her mind. Trying to rid herself of it, Akane leaned up and pressed a kiss to Subaru's cheek, just to watch him blush.
