Leon and Sora sat by a window seat with their food in front of them.
It was late at night, Sora looked a few notches above a homeless person with her dried hair sticking out and the too large of a coat looking ridiculous on her petite form, plus the bandage on the left side of her forehead. He would have winced again - for she had obviously had better days and he had been the cause of this - but there was that sunny gleam in her dark eyes and a smile on her face.
Her legs stretched out but then retreated when she accidentally bumped into his feet. Her cheeks flamed; he caught the sight as he ate some soup.
"Do you like it?" she gestured towards the bowl. He gave a nod as the tomato and spices delightfully warmed his insides. She took a sip of hers and she giggled. "It tickles on the way down!"
The corner of his mouth twitched upwards.

May and Ken were eating as well, though the latter didn't have much of an appetite. He picked at his pasta and then looked up at May.
"So Leon's experience...is that really the case?"
May took her time swallowing. "I don't have anything more to say on that."
Ken frowned. May withheld the urge to snicker.
Where was the fun in telling the whole truth? She'll let him think about what little she said.

The small food place had some live music.
Sora's head bobbed a little to the tune of the guitar and the saxophone. She felt relaxed and comfortable; she stole a look at Leon and saw that he was sitting back in his seat and his shoulders were not up in tension or nervousness.
She liked this place.

The bill came and Ken grabbed it.
He frowned a little upon seeing the total. I forgot to say that we're on separate bills. He put his card in the plastic slot and then passed the bill envelope over to May.
She didn't touch it.
"You need to pay your half," Ken said.
"No I don't."
Ken frowned. "I'm not footing the whole bill."
May crossed her arms on the table. "You said you'd buy me dinner."
"What are you -" Ken paused as he thought about it. "From back at the Fun House?" When May nodded, he let out an exasperated sound. "That wasn't meant for you."
She shrugged. "It was said to me."
Ken stopped his aggravation for a moment and looked at her. And he really looked at her. Half closed eyes, leaning her body towards me, finger drawing little circles and-
...Was that some PINK on her cheeks?!
He hit his forehead in disbelief. Well, at least I know for sure the charm from the old dating book really does work on everyone...
Except Sora, of course.

They stayed at the little food place until closing.
Sora was leaning against his left side as they sat in the cab. "That was a great place."
"Yes." His arm was tingling pleasantly with her contact.
She closed her eyes with a smile on. "I forgot to ask, but did you like your sandwich?"
"...It was good," he said and he meant the statement.

But it doesn't have to! :P
