"Here." Hotaru shoved a box of something into Yuya's hands. She instantly wanted to smack him with it. It had been five days since the "incident" and she had managed to completely ignore him. If he thought he could get her attention by rudely forcing a gift on her, he was sadly mistaken.
Bad enough that he had chosen to stalk her on her walk through the woods. She took these long walks to get away from annoying people like him! "Keep it." She shoved it back into his hands.
"But, I made it for you." It was pressed back into her palms, a little more sharply this time. He was giving her that deadly serious look, like the one he'd had when he'd been trying to kill Kyo. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to push away the crazy man's gift, but Yuya still felt cautious.
"What is it?"
"Your lunch." She looked at him in disbelief, but Hotaru was still treating the matter as heavily as if they were discussing the current political situation of Japan in relation to other foreign powers.
"This better not be more plums." With her free hand, Yuya was already reaching for her gun.
Hotaru grabbed her wrist, with a hand that was strangely hot. "It's not. I'm a super cook." Jerking her hand free, Yuya huffed to herself as she opened the box.
Inside sat six lumpy looking rice balls. It was as if a child had made them. "This is lunch, super cook?" Yuya pulled one out and held it. She resisted the urge to reform it.
Shrugging, he poked his finger into one, revealing a pink center. "They have fish in them." As if that was all it took for it to be a proper meal.
"This isn't lunch."
"Yes it is."
"Alright, alright, I'll eat it." Seeing a nearby shade tree, Yuya sat down under it and patted the spot next to her. Hotaru pointed at himself in confusion, then joined her. As she took a bite out of one of the rice balls, Yuya had to admit that even if it was far from the best rice ball in existence, it certainly wasn't the worst. She handed one over to him and watched him look confused, then take it, almost looking gleeful for a second. Just for a second. Yet, that one second was more confusing than any other she's experienced in her entire life.
