Happy with her tofu, Misono noted Meisa's blush. There was one of two reasons: Meisa was thinking about having sex with Toma or else Meisa was thinking about Yesung and sex. Yesung was lovely to look at, after all. But it was probably Toma. Huh. She was going to need a regular dating book for sure.
But not for Yesung. She beamed at him as she swallowed. "I really want to have dinner with you on Valentine's!" she told him earnestly. "I just wanted you to know that you can have one-night stands if you want and Valentine's Day is a good day for that, you know. But any time you want to have sex with somebody, you can say and I can go somewhere."
Oh, his coffee was empty! She took his cup and rose to her feet. Refill time! "I'd go to Aiba-chan's, first, but tomorrow is Valentine's so he might have plans and I know Osaka-kun doesn't," she called over her shoulder as she went to the kitchen. "Not beyond seeing me at work that day, so I can give him his chocolate! And he's got a present for me, he said!" She got Yesung another glass of water to go along with his coffee and went back to his side. "I hope it's not nasty flavored condoms again." Then she giggled. "Or maybe yes."
Chinese cabbage! Oooh! She began to drown it in egg, poking at it rudely with her chopsticks. Complete coating achieved, yay! She popped it into her mouth. "If it's from Osaka-kun, it's tooooooootally okay."
As she chewed on some noodles, Meisa's thoughts had turned to Toma, but they weren't about sex with him. Well, at least they weren't until Misono started talking about going away for the night if Yesung wanted to have a one night stand. Being with Toma would be really romantic, wouldn't it? And maybe Meisa could put the purchase from Come Again to use... Willing a blush away, she tried to hide it by taking a sip of her tea.
"Who is this Osaka-kun?" Meisa asked Yesung as she watched Misono get up to go refill his coffee. Managing to grab some meat with the tofu she had been going for, she dipped the combination in egg, split the tofu in half, and popped it in her mouth with the meat. Yum!
A bit of the puzzle fell into place when Misono came back. Osaka-kun. Condoms. "Oh! Is he the one you sucked condoms with a couple weeks ago?!"
Yesung was about to say he didn't have the faintest idea who Osaka-kun was, aside from someone Misono had apparently taken a liking to, but then Meisa seemed to make the connection and Misono had gone on nattering.
"What?" he could feel his blood pressure raising. Probably why Misono hadn't really bother to tell him how she'd known Osaka-kun. "Misono. Explain." He did his best not to die. She was nine years old! Gah!
Misono hurriedly shoved some enoki into her mouth, giving Meisa a betrayed look. There was a reason she didn't say some things and there went Yesung. She hunched down inside herself without really meaning to before straightening and reaching for another piece of meat as nonchalantly as possible.
"Nothing to explain!" she chirped. "Osaka-kun is somebody I met at work on free condom day." Or what had turned INTO free condom day. "It was flavors and I wanted to try some and so we tried some together." She wasn't going to talk about how they'd licked each other's fingers or anything. Yesung would TOTALLY get the wrong idea about her sucking on Osaka's fingers. "It was perfectly okay! We're both kansai!" He was from Osaka. They were all but related.
She shoved the meat in her mouth, having totally forgot the egg, and chewed. She also very carefully didn't meet any eyes. "Kitty von Catcat! You need help, huh?" Kitty von Catcat really didn't but feeding her a bit of meat from the chopsticks she'd set beside the cat's bowl was something to do that meant not looking at anybody without it LOOKING like she wasn't looking. "Say 'aaaaaaaaaah'!" she directed, dangling the meat over the calico's head.
Meisa's eyes went wide at the betrayed look Misono had shot her. Oops. She bit her lip and gave a sheepish look back, mouthing a 'sorry Misono-san'. She hadn't meant to get Misono in trouble! But her friend had been talking about condoms and this Osaka-kun and how was Meisa supposed to know that Yesung didn't know about this?!
Her eyes went to watch Yesung's reaction as she listened to Misono explain. Kansai? Hey! She sort of knew somebody from Kansai. Well, at least she thought Ryo was, from the way he spoke the Japanese she could follow.
Meisa kept quiet but let out a small giggle at Misono feeding the cat.
Yesung felt himself making a serious face. "Just because you're both kansai doesn't mean you can just suck condoms with him." Yesung didn't even know what kansai was. And he didn't want to tell Misono what to do, which is why he probably zoned out so much of what she said so he didn't die, but was it really alright for her to be friends with someone she met at a sex shop on free condom day? "What if he's a pervert?" Of course he was a pervert! She'd met him at a sex shop!
He wasn't tired anymore, but that was probably because he was worried and felt heartburn coming on. One of these days, someone was going to take advantage of Misono, and he was going to have to kill them.
"Feeding Kitty von Catcat does not distract me from this, Misono." Even if Kitty von Catcat was really cute with her tiny head tilted and looking contemplatively up at the meat overhead.
Misono cringed. He wasn't going to let this drop easily. Which she'd suspected which was why she'd never said. Yesung was protective. He didn't like even AIBA looking down her clothes, much less having anybody doing anything else.
She kept dangling the meat for Kitty von Catcat, trying to tempt her into leaping for it. But no, no it was not going to distract Yesung because he was Yesung. "Pervert?" Was Ryo a pervert? Probably a bit of one because otherwise he'd not have said the thing about taking her shirt off or looked at her butt when he came in. "No, no, he's a nice guy!" Because he was that, too. "He's fun." Giggling over the nasty mint condoms going out to unsuspecting customers. He really was fun! Yesung would LIKE him! She just had to convince him of that.
"I even put my shirt ON for him!" She didn't have to mention taking it OFF again straight after. She did not look at Yesung. If she looked, he would know she was being all hedge-y. "He didn't try a thing when I wiped his hand on--" Oh, oh, oh! Yesung would not like THAT. He would not like where she'd wiped Osaka's fingers. "He helped me sell vibrators! I had a challenge!"
Damn it, Kitty von Catcat, take the meat! She was floundering. "Meisa-chan, don't ever buy the big, multi-brand flavor assortment of condoms! They're not good!" She didn't even care if it meant Meisa was having sex with her boyfriend. She had a mission to distract Yesung. "I don't have any but I would absolutely let you try them if I did. Both of you could try them!"
Eyes bouncing back and forth from Yesung to Misono and then back to Yesung, Meisa discreetly went to take some chrysanthemum leaves to wrap around the other tofu half. She had planned to keep quiet longer and just let the two of them work it out. It wasn't any of her business, right?
Trying to be ninja and sneak some meat next, her chopsticks stilled over the donabe and Meisa went bright red at Misono's advice.
"I - I, we - I..." she stuttered and trailed off. She couldn't even muster the effort to make a face at the offer to try what Misono had deemed earlier as nasty flavored condoms.
Yesung huffed, and sat back. He definitely didn't want to continue on in front of Misono's friend, because who liked horrible domestic fights? But this definitely was not over. He still had problems with Aiba, the pervert, though he guessed he really couldn't say anything about that. But a whole new pervert? Argh, he really hoped she wasn't going to bring him around any time soon.
"I think I'm going to go get ready for bed now. It's been a long day." No, he wasn't going to go sulk. He was an adult and didn't do things like sulk. He drank the rest of the water in his glass. "It was nice seeing you again, Meisa."
Huffy Yesung. He was that way a lot lately. Like things that didn't normally bother him for real now did. Misono reached out and caught his shirt as he stood. "Ne, if you want you can scold tomorrow," she told him. "We can do a fight tomorrow, that'd be okay, right?" She could say nice things about Osaka and he could yell at her about strange men.
"If you're tired, then you should sleep but...but otherwise stay and eat." She smiled at him hopefully. "You can bother about what we were doing and why and try to wheedle more chocolates out of us!" What else? What else might make him happy enough to stay? "And Meisa-chan has a boyfriend and we can tease about it, if you want!"
Meisa had slowly brought her chopsticks, sans meat, back towards her, hugging it close to her chest as she tried to will the blush away, eyes closed. She heard Yesung huff and wondered why. He knew where Misono worked right? He had been at Aiba's Halloween party so it wasn't like that was a secret. Opening her eyes right when Yesung excused himself, Meisa bemusedly nodded at him. "It was nice seeing you too."
It was kind of disappointing to see him get up and leave. She had been looking forward getting to know him better when they made chocolate boxes later. When Misono started trying to get Yesung to stay, Meisa smiled and nodded along to what her friend was saying. "Do stay! You haven't tried all the- Wait, what?! WHY?!"
He sighed. "A fight tomorrow sounds good." Though, really. It didn't. It made him exhausted just thinking about it. He really, really just wanted to curl up with Kitty von Catcat at his feet and stare at the wall and sleep until Misono made him wake up the next morning.
He smiled when Meisa got side-tracked by Misono threatening to tease her. "Well, if you give her fodder, expect her to use it." Because she would. Not because she was mean, just because Misono liked embarrassing people, liked seeing them blush and fumble; Yesung knew - she did it to him all the time.
"No, I really am tired. Save me a bowl, Misono?" he asked, looking down at where she was sitting on the floor. He ran his hand over her hair so she'd know he wasn't really mad, just uncomfortable with how often she hung out with perverts. Also, so she wouldn't smell like that pervert, even if she didn't really, it was all just in his head.
He yawned and started making his way out of the room.
"Okay, tomorrow!" She chirpped but her heart wasn't in it. Yesung didn't look like he was happy to have a fight set up.
"You blush cute!" she told Meisa. "It's fun to make you look that cute!" Fodder. Heh. "Yesung is cute when he blushes, too! But that's not fun for him, so making you blush about your boyfriend is a better idea!"
Only...only Yesung wasn't going to stay for that. He was really tired. Really tired. Yeah, Misono could see it. Something...something might just be wrong with Yesung. Something not-right. She nodded. "I'll save you two bowls." She closed her eyes as he touched her hair, petting his hand over it. It reminded her of the way he sometimes touched lampposts and buildings--like he was marking his place. She didn't mind if he marked her. She liked that. She liked belonging with Yesung. "Good night, Yesung," she whispered as he left the room.
She looked over to their cat, licking her whiskers. "Ne, Kitty von Catcat, go cuddle him, okay?" She waited until the cat meowed and got up before smiling at Meisa. "I'm still hungry but we can fold boxes while we eat, if you want! And..." Oh, should she? "And there are Korean soap operas on. I don't know what they say, but they're really cute! Unless you want to talk about your new boyfriend?" She grinned. "Because we could talk about how he makes you blush when he's not even here, if you want!"
She grew quiet, watching the interaction between Yesung and Misono. She was really really happy that Misono had found him. They were better suited for each other than that Mackenzie person Misono had been living with. "Goodnight, Yesung. I hope you feel better soon!"
The fact that Kitty von Catcat followed Misono's command caused Meisa to quietly chuckle. "I'm still hungry too so we can eat and fold boxes." Pause. Blush. "And watch Korean soap operas we don't understand."
She refused to spend the entire night blushing. Even if she liked the feeling she got thinking about Toma.
But not for Yesung. She beamed at him as she swallowed. "I really want to have dinner with you on Valentine's!" she told him earnestly. "I just wanted you to know that you can have one-night stands if you want and Valentine's Day is a good day for that, you know. But any time you want to have sex with somebody, you can say and I can go somewhere."

Chinese cabbage! Oooh! She began to drown it in egg, poking at it rudely with her chopsticks. Complete coating achieved, yay! She popped it into her mouth. "If it's from Osaka-kun, it's tooooooootally okay."
