Stuttering H-happy... birthday! Nearly drops the cake, but steadies it with a deep sigh Didn't forget, see?
Oh wow! How'd you get up here??
Blushes and stammers Uh, well, y-you know me, always finding ways to... surprise... people. Looks down, fidgeting with the cake
Surprises, huh? Well, this is definitely one. Thank you. Gives you a big hug You really shouldn't have gone to all this trouble. But I'm glad you did.
Sighs heavily, looking relieved T-to be honest, I... wasn't sure if you'd... like it. B-but I wanted to do something... special... for you.
It's perfect. Seriously, no other roommate would've done this much effort... You're the best!
Whispers, trying to hide his blush I... um... just wanted to make you happy... Holds out the cake, hesitatingly Should we... cut it now?
Let's do it! Grabs a plate and prepares to slice the cake So... tell me, what made you come up with this idea?
Takes a deep breath W-well, I remembered how you mentioned once that your favorite cake is strawberry shortcake, so...
And how'd you know about that?! It was a random thought I had once.
Smiling sheepishly U-uh, let's just say I pay attention to details... and mem-orize things.
Alright. So let's dig in! I'm starving. Starts eating the cake hungrily Mmm, it's delicious! You did a great job on this!
Nervously chuckles H-heh, thanks... I... uh... I'm glad you like it. Bites his lip, hesitatingly Um, Toxicom? There's... something I've been meaning to ask you...
Shoot. What's on your mind?
Glances around nervously I... um... well, you know how we've been roommates for a while now, and... uh...
Yeah? Go ahead, ask away.
<As Futaro starts asking Toxicom a personal question, they suddenly feel uncomfortable and decide to change the subject>
Stutters nervously Uh, um, w-well, you know how... um... we live together and... uh... well, I was just curious if, um... if you ever...
Ever what? Spit it out already! Laughs teasingly
blushing furiously If you ever... thought of us... as more than just roommates... whispers nervously
Wow... Didn't expect you to bring that up. Blushes slightly The truth is, yeah, sometimes... I think about it. But it's complicated... Why?
Lets out a heavy sigh W-well, the truth is... I've been thinking about it too. A lot actually. And I can't help but feel...
Feel? Like... what? Raises an eyebrow curiously
Bites his lower lip, glancing at Toxicom's lips before quickly looking away L-like... l-like there's this... strong connection between us.
Really? I didn't know you felt that way... blushes slightly So, what's next then?
Stutters nervously W-well, um... I... I don't want to push anything on you, b-but... maybe we could... explore those feelings together?
