002 -- [Video]

[breaking_candy]

[Break is sitting on the front porch of Gilbert's house with something in his hand. He shows it to the screen. It's a cupcake.]

Aren't these a nice thought?

[Break pulls the cake away from the screen.]

I found them outside just as I was leaving today. There was even a note on the box. What a wonderful gift!

[And he starts eating it. Video still

[Opening up the door and stepping out--

And juuust managing to stop himself before he goes tripping over Break. He blinks. Ooh? What's that smell?]

Oh, hey-- Where'd you get those? [Cuuurious.]

[Break leans his head back and smiles.]

They were a gift! There was even a note!

[He lets Naoki see it. The note just says, "Break, thank you. Lilly."]

(action)

[scalethetower]

Oh? [Naoki leans over to have a good look, edging to the side and closing the front door behind him.]

You helped someone out, then, eh?

(action)

[breaking_candy]

I suppose, though I can't imagine what I did for her.

[Must have been something though.]

(action)

[scalethetower]

You don't know?

[Blinks.]

(action)

[breaking_candy]

Nope!

[Break doesn't normally think about what he's done for others.]

(action)

[scalethetower]

Well, whatever it was, it helped her out.

[Laughing. Naoki plops down alongside him.]

(action)

[breaking_candy]

I suppose it did.

[There's a pause. Break, despite his want to keep them all, plucks one from the box and hands it over with a smile. He wants information from you, Naoki, and this is the perfect way to get it.]

(action)

[scalethetower]

Oh--

[Surprised, Naoki takes it.] Thank you.

(action)

[breaking_candy]

You're welcome.

[A pause as Break takes another from the box.]

We talked before, but I don't believe we've sat down and had a conversation before.

(action)

[scalethetower]

Ah--no, we haven't, have we?

[He grins, sheepishly.]

A lot happened there. I was, ah, a bit distracted. [And panicked and all other manner of things until Gilbert's return.]

(action)

[breaking_candy]

It's perfectly understandable. You were so worried about Gilbert-kun. That must mean you're pretty close~.

(action)

[scalethetower]

Ah-- [Naoki goes pink and rubs the back of his head.] Y-yeah, we are. [Sort of an understatement, really.]

(action)

[breaking_candy]

[Well, Gilbert did tell Break that they were dating and to be nice. Buuut Break feels like trolling.]

How close are you two?

(action)

[scalethetower]

...

[Well, it's nothing embarrassing to say so, right? Heck, Naoki's proud of it. Still goes red, though. Before he lifts up his hand and points to the simple band on his ring finger.]

This close.

[Liiiiittle bit beyond dating, there.]

(action)

[breaking_candy]

[Break can't see, but given the movements and the words, Break can imagine what it is. A ring. Leave it to Gilbert for being so tacky.]

Congratulations~! I never thought Gilbert-kun would be so close~!
