"So? How'd it go?"
It was the next day, Keiwa had a date with his sister. Haru had decided to visit LeBlanc for some relaxing coffee when Futaba came rushing to her from upstairs, with a massive grin on her face.
"So~ How'd it go?"
"Honestly, Futaba…" Makoto merely sighed as she too entered the café. "I will admit, I'm curious myself, Sakurai-kun seemed out of his depth when he asked us for opinions for White Day."
"Well, I was the only girlfriend he had to celebrate White Day with."
"Oh? A heartbreaker like Joker?"
"I resent that Futaba, you know as well as everyone else that everything was a misunderstanding."
Ren had been in the back, preparing for the scheduled meeting with the former Phantom Thieves of Hearts. They randomly decided to meet up just to rant to everyone about their personal lives. It sort of became a group therapy session between friends.
They wanted to vent, and with each other they can vent.
"Nyehehe, it was still fun seeing you cower from the death glares of the girls that thought they were in a relationship with you."
Ren shivered at the mere mention of that particular February 15.
"Thank the heavens for Kawakami-sensei and Takemi-sensei," Futaba snickered. "Don't think you've escaped my clutches yet, Haru, I still want the deets."
"Oh? We're already asking Haru how Keiwa-kun gave his chocolate to her?"
"He did more than give me a chocolate." Haru shyly revealed.
"I'm intrigued." Ren stopped whatever he was doing and paid close attention to his older friend.
Haru then recounted the events that happened the night before, including the gardening work the two of them did together.
"Sakurai-kun is really a thoughtful guy," Makoto commented. "He didn't think a simple White Day Chocolate would suffice because of what he was doing with them when he was still in school, he still went ahead and cooked for dinner on top of giving you the traditional White Day Chocolate."
"Normally, it'd just be a fancy dinner at a fancy restaurant," Anne offered her comment. "Before the White Day Chocolates even were given."
"So? Where is he now?" Ren questioned.
"He's on a date with his sister."
"I really envy Haru's security with her relationship," Anne exclaimed. "She can just say that her boyfriend was on a date with his sister without feeling an ounce of resentment, I can't even stand calling my boyfriend calling his meeting with family a date between them."
"Anne, you and everyone here are beautiful." Ren immediately assured.
"And that's why people would feel like they're dating you, Ren." Futaba snickered. "You're quick to reassure them."
"If I hadn't known which way Ren swings, I would have fallen for him the first time he did that to me." Anne admitted.
"Same here," Makoto blushed. "You really do have that effect on other people."
"Rizzing people without meaning to rizz them," Futaba snickered. Thank goodness for Kawakami-sensei and Takemi-sensei for setting the girls straight, or you would have been in a world of hurt."
"I prefer Akechi's hissy remarks over the glares those girls gave me, thank you very much." Ren shivered.
Everyone in the café just laughed at Ren's remark.
