Strawberry
When they first met on the set of Tantei Gakuen Q, he was mostly quiet and awkward among his co-stars. Not having any experience acting beforehand, he suddenly felt so small around his already interacting co-cast. He wanted to talk, but almost immediately after he took three steps at most towards the guys, he would turn his back, sigh, and return to where he was sitting a moment ago. After his third attempt, he felt a tap on his shoulder and when he turned around, a big scoop of strawberry ice cream in a cup was shoved to his face. He quietly accepted the ice cream offered to him by the only girl among them (minus the crew).
“They are nice so you don’t have to be scared of approaching them” she smiled at him. “Hurry and eat that before that melts.”
He could only nod and beam at her as they ate their respective ice creams in comfortable silence.
“I’m Shida Mirai.” she held her hand as she introduced herself after they finished their cups.
“Yamada Ryosuke.” And when he shook her hand, she tugged it and dragged him towards his co-actors, thinking that he’d enjoy shooting his first acting project.

Butter Pecan
He congratulated her through e-mail for her successful portrayal of a fourteen year old mother. And just as she was replying the e-mail with another scripted ‘thank you and hope you watch the final episodes’ since she’s really tired, another e-mail came from him, this time with an attached picture.
Let’s eat this together next time, Ms. Hardworking! My treat as a thank you for that strawberry ice cream you gave me. (^_^)v
She couldn’t help smiling, feeling more at ease than she had been for the past months and thinking of a good date to let him treat her.

Vanilla
She’s very spontaneous; he learned when they met again after a long time in a drama that she does not back down on anyone, any day. They were paired by draw lots on a hide and seek game around the park. It’s the director’s way of making the relationship between the actors better: a team building in other words (not that they need it since it’s not their first time acting together). When the director proposed the idea, everyone was more than willing - even her, his hope at sanity. He didn’t know she would be the first one to agree and even added some punishment game for the pair that would be captured first by the director.
The close proximity between them made him uncomfortable. He could actually hear her steady breath and could feel the warmth of her arm touching his. She’s a young lady now, he pondered as she laid down their next strategy. All went down the drain though when she suddenly craved for an ice cream and dragged him out in the open to order at the kiosk stationed at the park.
Both of them eventually treated everyone to a vanilla ice cream served by the park. She apologized and he could only laugh at the misery of being near penniless.

Cookies n’ Cream
“It’s seems like we’re both in - and in the same class no less.” She spoke to him before their classes started.
After the mandatory introduction in the classroom which occurred after the welcome remarks in the hall, she and Kamiki Ryunosuke went up to him.
“So if you’re not busy and don’t have any appointments regarding work, we could grab some cookies n’ cream from the ice cream shop after school.” She said.
“I won’t be able to choose my own flavor?” I asked, looking at Kamiki now which was only replied by a shrug.
“It’s their specialty! You can’t miss their specialty!” she argued.
And before long, their classes were over. For some reason, Nakajima Yuto and Chinen Yuri insisted to come; Shida also invited Ohgo Suzuka and Irie Jingi while Kamiki invited Sakamoto Shougo. It didn’t take long till almost the whole class was tagging along to get some popular cookies and cream ice cream.

Banana
Her eyes were red and puff, still fresh from crying over the fact that Kamiki, her best friend also known as her unrequited love was dating Fukuda Mayuko. He did not know the first thing about love and did not know how to console her so he did what he thought was best: buy her an ice cream.
When he handed her a pint of banana-flavored ice cream, she could only smile and tell him that he's really unreliable before he could go out of the door. She could never finish a pint (nor would she be forgiven by her agency if she did) plus, Kamiki always shared a banana split with her and not a mere banana-flavored ice cream.
When she finally ate a mouthful though, all she could think about was that the gesture was just like Yamada’s.

Rocky Road
“You’re hurt.” It was a statement and he could only nod in fear of the possibility to outburst publicly.
“Nakajima-kun didn’t mean it. You should really just let it go. Chinen-kun is already troubled for being the middleman. If giving fanservice is not helping your popularity, he would’ve said a thing or two already.” She added.
Chii already did, he thought but couldn’t really say it out loud as he’s sure she’d be giving him one of her ‘I-told-you-so’ speeches again. Instead, he bit a mouthful of rocky road ice cream, leaving stains around his lips which made her laugh at his childish behavior while she handed him a tissue.

Mint Chocolate Chip
“It’s the right thing to do, right? To let her go?” he asked her as he sat quietly in her living room, watching some random anime on air with eyes that looked like they were about to cry.
She’s never been knowledgeable about relationships, neither did she know how deep he felt for Nishiuchi Mariya so when he asked, she just remained silent and offered him a spoon. When he blinked at it, he realized that she was holding a half-gallon mint chocolate chip ice cream, eating in silence as she watched.
He grabbed the spoon and ate without a word, shedding his tears as the comedy show plays in the background.
----
Green Tea and Sakura
“Make up with Nakajima-kun already!” She said without hiding her annoyance.
“But I don’t know how.”
“Here” she gave him two small cups of ice cream - one green tea, the other sakura-flavored.
“Will any of these taste good?” and when she felt her intense stare at him, he just asked “Which one should I give?”
“You know, friends always give way and grab the flavor that the other party would like less but best of friends usually fight for the flavor they want only to share it in the end.”
And he didn’t need to be told twice as he already made his way to Nakajima Yuto, thanking her.

Pistachio
It came as a surprise when he confessed to her all fidgety with a cup of what appears to be pistachio ice cream held in front of her.
It was a nice surprise though as she said yes and grabbed the ice cream before being engulfed with his hug.
----
Sesame Seeds
He betted on her treating him to a cup of sesame seeds ice cream (it’s healthy and wouldn’t really put much weight) if she ever found Hey! Say! JUMP’s concert amusing. He’s proud of his work and his members but she’s really reluctant as she still remembers the rumors of her dating Yaotome Hikaru as the reason why she came to the concert in the first place. Against better judgment though, she puts on a disguise and went.
When he came on the stage, dancing and singing, she knew it would be the typical Johnny’s concert. But midway through the song, he said a rather awkward “I Love You” and winked. She tried not laughing in the midst of fans, resigned as she really did find the concert (or rather, Yamada) amusing.
----
Coffee
She’s memorizing her script, trying her best to not fall asleep as she sips on her second cup of hot latte when he called to check up on her and brought her coffee ice cream instead, insisting that hot beverages would make people sleep even before the caffeine kicks in.
Half way through their respective ice cream cups his right hand brushed against her left and when their eyes met, his lips slowly inched towards hers and brought them into a kiss. It was gentle and sweet and tastes like coffee ice cream.
The rest of their ice cream melted as they kissed with a smile on their lips.
---
Raspberry
They’re just planning on going home from the Horikoshi farewell party when they both agreed to eat ice cream on their way back. They would finally graduate, but the thought of leaving their friends who has been there for three years made the majority cry and all of them sad.
3-D batch 2012 was just about the best class anyone could wish for.
They ate their raspberry ice creams in silence when she broke it.
“Do you think we’ll all meet again?”
There was a long pause before he replied with a melancholic smile “I know we would. We may not be complete or we may be old and married or just working on our careers as we used to but I know we will.”
She didn’t know if she’s tearing up because of the sadness she currently feels or if it’s the sourness of the raspberry but she did feel better with him around knowing exactly what she felt and knowing the right words to say.
---
Chocolate
“I don’t know who you got your stinginess from but I’m not amused.” She said with bitterness, noticing how he got the attention of the women who lined up for ice cream and the waitresses, even the young lady manager, only to come back with two scoops of chocolate (possibly the cheapest flavor) ice cream in a single Belgian cone. “Are you planning on not eating or not let me eat?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I got two scoops and chocolate is delicious” He mused as she glared. “Plus, we can always share a cone. We’ll take turns at eating.”
And suddenly, she’s not so mad about seeing a single cone or his dork boyfriend being the center of attention a minute ago. His hand entwined with hers as they walked around town, hoping this simple happiness they have will last.
