2nd Course - Chocolate Kisses

[Video]

[The vine turns on to the image of Kazumi in a room you might not recognize if you don't know what the inside of Akira Satou's apartment looks like. Even if you do, you might not recognize it: everything's been cleaned up and organized and it looks like there's at least 3 things cooking in the kitchen right now]

It's definitely a lot more fun cooking for more people. It's hard cooking just one serving, so you end up eating the same thing for a while if you're by yourself. Cooking for other people means you get to cook new things more often! Though...

[The girl looks over at the stove, ahoge twitching before she turns back to the vine]

...I think I might have made too much! So, um, Akira, if there's anyone you want to bring over for dinner, well... tonight would be a good night? I got all my things moved in [It was mostly food and cooking stuff. Your fridge has never been so stocked] and wanted to make something nice to celebrate but I kind of went overboard, eheh... I just really wanted to thank you for this! And for the kiss, hehe.

[She giggles and blushes a little, then remembers the vine's still showing and turns her attention back to it, all happy, innocent smiles again]

Anyway! Who else out there likes cooking? The party made me think, there's probably people here who are from different places with aaaaall sorts of different cooking! We should exchange recipes!

Is that her name? She was kind of... short with me...

[drinkswithminors]

... And I think I know why.

You know how you weren't my only date that day, sweetness? Well... I guess I didn't think she'd be the jealous type.

[starofpleiades]

Eheh, yeah, I do. [She kind of found out or realized after, so... while she still thinks Akira is totally handsome she's! Trying not to make a big thing of it and maybe not go full on crush like she did at the party (IT IS ALMOST WORKING). And she really is happy about getting to cook for someone; cooking is for friends, not just romance!] Oooh... so that was why...

[drinkswithminors]

So let's just... leave her on her own. For now.

[starofpleiades]

Ahh, okay...

I hope there aren't a lot of other upset girls.

[drinkswithminors]

You and me both... I shoulda held back.

[starofpleiades]

Really! Just how many girls were you flirting with besides me? [half-teasing, half-serious]

[drinkswithminors]

Um, like... four?

[starofpleiades]

No wonder she got mad at you!

[Because clearly Akiha's glares were meant for Akira and had nothing to do with Kazumi at all]

[drinkswithminors]

Look, look, I know it was probably a bad idea, but where I come from, it's not uncommon to date around before going steady with someone...

... Though it's not usually all on the same day.

[starofpleiades]

I don't know much about dating, but I think doing it all at one party was a little much.

[drinkswithminors]

I think you're right... Sorry you got dragged into this.

[starofpleiades]

Heheh, it's okay... well, as long as I don't get any more jealous phone calls! I hope living here doesn't cause any problems...

[drinkswithminors]

I don't think it should. Having you around is kinda like having my little sister around again.

[starofpleiades]

Heheh, I'm glad. [Well, kinda sorta! She still kinda has a crush on her so being a little sister to her isn't great for that but... she also just likes Akira as a nice person and being likened to her sister like that makes her feel nice! It's complicated? She kind of knows its a crush and she shouldn't get... too hung up on it! Plus Akira's kind of older than her by... she's not sure how much, but a chunk it seems like!] What is she like?

[drinkswithminors]

Ah, Lilly is... She's elegant. Not at all like me. She embodies the behavior of a clever, beautiful young woman. We're kinda opposites.

[starofpleiades]

Wow, she sounds really amazing. [AND NOT LIKE KAZUMI AT ALL EITHER] I'd say I'd really like to meet her, but that would mean she'd have to be kidnapped here too, huh?

[drinkswithminors]

Yeah, and... it's probably for the best. But still... I miss her. A lot. And it really hit me at the party.

[starofpleiades]

Yeah... there a few times there when I was sad I couldn't show my friends all the neat things, or even just hang out with them... and you've been here longer than me, right? It's only been a few weeks for me...

[drinkswithminors]

... But it's not so bad. I think having you around will keep that loneliness at bay. I'm happy I met you, Kazumi.

[starofpleiades]

[Blush] I'm happy I met you too, Akira. I already feel better about it all.

[drinkswithminors]

That makes two of us, sweetness.

[starofpleiades]

Heheh... well, I'm gonna get back to cooking! Oh right, I kind of already made everything for tonight but... you'll definitely have to tell me what kinds of foods are your favorites, okay?

[drinkswithminors]

I'm not exactly picky.

[starofpleiades]

You've gotta have something you like best though, right? Hehe, well, not that I mind... with all the ingredients here, I'll be trying lots of different things!
