“Honoka-chan, what a surprise! To think you actually agreed to be my lunch date for today!” Yuta grins as he juggles the menu between his hands, before finally offering it to her. Happy that he has managed to act smooth for once, he gives himself a mental pat on the back.
“Lunch is on me today, so order whatever you’d like.” His smile fades as he leans on the ball of his hand, but keeps a steady gaze directed at Maki. Suddenly, he finds himself speechless and unable to utter a single word. Averting his gaze (she is way too cute. That needs to be illegal.) from her, he decides upon letting his mouth run instead.
“You’re alright now, right? With Ruru-chan and everything...” Yuta asks tentatively, as anxiousness bubbles and simmers, even, in his stomach. “I just want to make sure you’re happy, Honoka-chan! What Hisomu said to you the other day... I won’t stand for it. That guy is an asshole in every way, it pisses me off that he has the natural hot guy thing going on for him.” Realizing how he spits out so much (and even outright admitted his distaste for Hisomu) in only a few minutes, he reddens from his sudden outburst.
