Mukuro had begun her outting reading, but soon that turned into just people watching once she had enough of her book。 Her attention being drawn away from the crowd when she heard a familiar, excited yip。 

A smile already began to grow on her lips as she turned towards the source, her eyes cast towards the ground at first, wanting to spot Luna to confirm that was the yip she heard, and then Mukuro's gaze would lift and land on Oliver once she had confirmed it was Luna she heard and her smile would grow larger。

Setting her book to the side, Mukuro gently took the gift box offered to her and gingerly opened it。 The quality of the gift honestly took her breath away for a second, it was so detailed and intricate, Mukuro honestly feared for a moment that if she put too much pressure by touching the petals that they'd break。

「Oh Oliver,」 Mukuro gasped softly as her fingers slowly trace over the hairpin。 「It's beautiful, I love it!」 There's a soft blush on her face as she not only takes in the details of this gift but it dawns on her that he said that he made the gift。

「Thank you very much, I'll always treasure this~ I know a few outfits that this would look lovely with。 Actually, would you be willing to help me put this in now? It's far too beauitful to leave in the box~」

I can't find any of my focking threads anymore sooooo

admit it. you're in love with me.

if only i had someone to go out with...

a date would be really nice right about now.

i might reconsider if you bring me flowers.

were you being serious back there?

did you just try to impress me?

was that another joke, or were you telling the truth?

we agreed that if no one asked us, we'd go together.

keep telling yourself that!

here it comes! the big love confession i've been waiting for!

you've been in love with me since the day we met.

you visited me in my dreams last night.

i know you're in love with me. you just won't say it outloud.

we can't hide this forever.

don't make me beg.

if you weren't so cute, you'd be annoying.

you're not very good at hiding how you feel.

you've been staring at me for a long time now.

is that what you really think of me?

you have feelings for me. admit it.

so what if i've been lying this whole time? for good reason!

you don't make this whole love thing any easier.

you make life difficult.

you're a piece of work.

is that how you really feel?

you're lucky you're so cute.

you're not really going out with them, are you?

i thought we... nevermind.

consider me impressed.

am i annoying you right now?

you didn't like that comment, huh.

i was only kidding!

you wish we were kissing right now.

oh, you'd just love to hear me beg.

i love our little back and forth.

sooner or later we'll have to come clean about how we feel.

i'm not good at hiding my emotions.

when were you going to tell me you were in love with me?

i actually hate your guts.

keep talking like that and you'll see how i really feel.

can your head get any bigger?

was that a joke?

were you just playing with me?

you didn't actually mean that, right?

hang on. you didn't just say that.

that was a joke, right?

this is just how we are when we're together.

i tease you, you tease me.

you and i have always been like this.

if i'm not annoying you, what's the point?

i'm allergic to tickling.

they said we'd make a cute couple. can you believe that?

are you always this annoying?

if i kiss you, will you turn into a prince? yes, i'm implying you're a frog.

you're lucky i love you so much.

you take that back!

that was uncalled for!

this means war!

this calls for a duel!

i'm challenging you to an arm wrestle.

last one there is a rotten egg!

i'm not racing you!

stop looking at me like that.

you stare at me a lot.

i know, i know. i'm irresistable.

something on my face?

a little bird told me you're in love with me.

“…Huh,” He was so accustomed to the shiny and spotless looking food depicted in anime and in cooking shows, food that was so delicious and perfectly out together that you almost felt guilty to ruin it with a single bite. “You know, I really like how you find a way to take the imperfections and spin ‘em into something good,” How often had food had been nitpicked on cooking shows, scrutinized to pieces? “I think…that’s the way I’d want to look at it too - like even if something doesn’t look the best, I’d still…be really happy knowing someone made it for me and the taste honestly wouldn’t even matter ‘cause…”

He pauses, his cheeks flushing as he recalled a childhood memory of trying to make omurice for his Ma - the rice was mush and the omelette looked deflated - yet even with ketchup smearing his cheeks he had proudly held it out to her. “I really like that a lot and I’m glad it makes people happy - I know I definitely would be…” So caught up in his own fond childhood memories, it took a moment to recognize what Akira was saying but he quickly nodded, eager to have an excuse to avoid getting in any trouble!

Sure, it might sound cheesy, but that didn't make it any less true. If everything was all the same all the time, that would just get extremely boring. He'd much prefer a lopsided cake over hundreds of identical ones! Smiling as he trailed behind his new friend, it was clear Akira was very happy with already having met someone so nice.
