Servant's Quarters, Room 4, 8-15-07

Sousuke had come back from class to find a package waiting for him outside the door (thankfully, for whomever had dropped it off). After ascertaining that the box posed no threat, he'd carried it inside, and opened it

If she didn't cook for Sousuke, the dumb boy would eat nothing but army rations and would eventually waste away to nothing. Clearly that's the only reason Kaname was paying him this visit. No ulterior motives at all, her.

Knock, knock.

[fumoffu_fmp]

It says something about the lack of threats in their lives that Sousuke just opens the door on the assumption that it'll be Kaname standing there.

And hey! With clothes all over the place, it almost looks like a normal seventeen year old boy lives there.

"Hello," he says simply.

[whisperedblue]

Kaname blinked, peeked around him at the mess inside, and blinked again. "What happened here?"

[fumoffu_fmp]

"Mao sent me some clothes. I mentioned not blending in very well, and apparently, these are supposed to be more suitable for young men in America." He stepped back to let her in the room.

"The shirts seem acceptable, but I'm not sure about the rest. She may not have had the correct measurements."

[whisperedblue]

Good enough. Kaname stopped short of actually hitting him and did an almost frightening change of face. "Besides," she added, almost slyly, "Homemade lunches are traditional. That's what girls do for their boyfriends. Don't you know anything?"

[fumoffu_fmp]

"I... uh..." That? Was a no.

And then he remembered. "I have something for you," he said quickly.

[whisperedblue]

This was a surprisingly effective way of getting her to cease before it became full scale attack, as she stopped giggling and merely blinked at him. "Oh?"

[fumoffu_fmp]

He went over to the bag he kept most of his belongings in, and returned with a bag from the aquarium they'd visited, and handed it to her. He'd forgotten to give it to her in the chaos following Conner's accident. There was a rather cute stuffed penguin inside.

[whisperedblue]

Well, good. Now he knew what she felt like when he did it.

"Don't worry about me," Kaname replied, smirking, and then deftly snagged a piece of fruit from right under his nose. "Eat your shrimp."

A pause as something occurred to her. "Are you doing anything tomorrow afternoon?"

[fumoffu_fmp]

He ate the shrimp as ordered.

"Tomorrow? No, I don't think I am."

[whisperedblue]

"The cooking class I TA for is holding a kind of makeshift festival at the YMCA... I'd like like it if you could come."

She'd also like to badger him into a yukata. Even if it did turn out to be camouflage. Sigh.

[fumoffu_fmp]

"Oh." He paused. "If it's all right with your teacher, I should be able to." It was true that he didn't have anything else he was doing, and it wasn't as if he had to be forced into spending more time with her.
