[ PAU.... SE. ]

You're right. [ I mean it's only logical. She scuffs her foot against the ground. ] But thank you for doing so anyway. It was good, even with the pineapple like you said.

[ It has some Cheering Up buff possibly ]

1/2

[rollin]

Hehe, it was, wasn't it? [ Asuna, his pineapple comrade. ]

[rollin]

[ NO stop getting too chummy, Asuna. It's lowering his defenses! ]

A-and you got brainfreeze! You should be more careful.

[avantguard]

[ Asuna used PINEAPPLE to lower Yata's DEFENSE.

She blinks at him. DON'T REMIND HER OF BRAINFREEZE AND HER SHAME. He's such a mom!! Or just nagging. Her lips purse. ]

Yes, sir. [ Why is a thug telling her to be more careful? What is her life. ] You should also be careful. You spilled hot cocoa, didn't you? Before that, you had ice cream on your face.

[rollin]

[ Don't remind him of how lame he is, please. Now he has to one-up her. ]

You had some, too!

[avantguard]

Heh!?

[ WHAT. THAT'S EMBARRASSING. Brainfreeze and food on her face?! ]

I-I didn't. [ Wait. ] Why didn't you say anything!

[rollin]

Ah, um—! B-because... [ Because of reasons he would rather not disclose!! He's obviously embarrassed about it from how red he's turning. ]

[avantguard]

[ Why is he embarrassed about the food she had on her face

Homra's gangsta princess is clumsy. ]

Yata-kun. Tell me why.

[rollin]

[ DAMMIT PUPPY DOG EYES

He answers in a mumble. ]

... 'Cause it was cute.

[avantguard]

[ Not expecting that. Her puppy dog look changes and she leans back.

Cute? He thought it was cute.

SHE SHOULDN'T CARE. How is it cute? It makes her feel childish. (She is childish.) ]

That's... not cute for a girl to do. [ Not one like her she's LOOKING AWAY. ]

[rollin]

[ He looks at his feet and sheepishly scratches his cheek. ]

You do everything so perfectly, I just thought you'd be like that all the time... Seeing you like that was, well, new.

[avantguard]

[ Ah. What a shy gesture. But she's more focused on the next part. ]

I-I don't... [ She tries. Asuna is a hard-worker so everything she does probably seems like it's close to perfect. And anything she puts her mind to, she usually succeeds at.

So, yes. Not being so great at something so basic like putting food in her mouth is very embarrassing. And Yata calls it cute. Why does that... make her happy? That someone actually likes a fault of hers. She's not used to it. She's used to being acknowledged and praised for all the perfect successes.

Not for her bumbling failures. She rubs at her arm. ] Nobody is perfect. [ EXCEPT YATA. No, he's an idiot but he's cute so it's fine. ]

Even the most well-composed person has moments of weakness.

[rollin]

... Yeah. I know.

[ Even Mikoto could stumble and fall. Asuna, too. But that doesn't make Yata think of them any less. ]

Let's go back. They'll start getting ideas.

[avantguard]

[ Yeah, but Asuna probably literally stumbles and falls. WHAT IDEAS YATA

After furrowing her brow at the mention of "ideas" she shakes her head, not moving. ]

No, it's embarrassing to go back in there. I'll just wait out here until everyone is ready to leave.

[ OR HITCHHIKE. ]

[rollin]

[ Like what if they think Yata and Asuna were murdered or something... I'm kidding. He is totally thinking other ideas. But he doesn't want to leave Asuna alone here either.

So he leans his back on the van and crosses his arms. ]

Then I'll stay here with you.

[avantguard]

[ I thought that said married. He can leave her alone though she's fine STOP HOVERING YATA. Even if she would be lonely if he left.

She can't make him go back inside. What about his ice cream?? It is his choice in the end but she doesn't know why he's hanging around with her when he can eat ice cream. It was good. ]

And what about those ideas you think they'll be getting?

[rollin]

[ He's red in a second. ]

Uhh, I was just... joking... Haha! [ Then his tone drops. ] It's a joke.

[ He doesn't have any ulterior motives. Her feelings are just more important than ice cream. He'll just... take a few steps away from her. This is fine. ]

[avantguard]

[ Raises her EYEBROW at him. She still doesn't know what ideas he could be referring to. ]

It didn't seem like one. [ WHATEVER. She tilts her head back and looks up at the sky, watching the clouds with her hands pressed back against the van and her ankles crossed.

She's making shapes out of them because Yata is being awkward. A hand raises to point at a spot with a small smile on her face. ]

That looks like ice cream, doesn't it?

[rollin]

Huh? [ Is she looking at the sky? He lifts his eyes and searches the clouds. ] Pfft, no. It's a snowman. See the arms?

[ He even points at them! ]

[avantguard]

[ SMALL FROWN and pushes his hand away. ] No, those are the spoons.

[ The ice cream they shared, that's what she's thinking of. ]

[rollin]

[ dON'T TOUCH HIS HAND He's freaking out a little. ]

It's on a cone... [ What does it say about Asuna if Yata's the one correcting her? ]

[avantguard]

[ He can't, it's impossible. Besides, he's agreeing it's ice cream now RIGHT? ]

You can still eat ice cream in a cone with spoons if you're sharing with someone.

[ Because both people licking a cone is NO ]

[rollin]

[ 2 PEOPLE 1 CONE yeah no, he'll pass. ]

Why are you still thinking about that... [ BECAUSE HE'S NOT THINKING ABOUT IT. Not until she brought it up AGAIN. ]

[avantguard]

Wha ─ [ Don't question her. He means ice cream sharing, obviously. ]

I'm not! I'm thinking about clouds! [ SHUT UP. It's just because there are two spoons in the cloud ice cream.

The alternative is hot cocoa. ]

[rollin]

Yeah, right. [ He's not that dumb. ] ...

You wanna get more ice cream later?

[ She's into the ice cream... obviously. ]
