[ . . . he

holds his hand out like he expects takeru wants him to cook it?]

And what were you thinking about? You didn't even answer my question.

[dotcom]

[ he hands it over. i hate this. ]

More importantly, who were you talking about during the trial? You don't know any women.

[sengokus]

[he points out]

Why do you make a fuss when I'm making lunch anyway... Get another one, same flavor. I want some too.

[but then he'll actually go to get a pan and some veggies]

But don't just forget Hoshino, what the hell....? And I know other women! Sakuragawa!

[HE'S NOT EVEN INTO SAKURAGAWA]

[dotcom]

You have hands?

[ HE SAYS, WHILE MAKING MINEO COOK HIS RAMEN,

but he snorts. ]

You're avoiding the question. I just needed to check something.

[sengokus]

You're closer!

[HE'S ALREADY CUTTING VEGGIES WITH A BUTTER KNIFE FOR YOU, TAKERU]

Tell me what you're checking...

I wasn't talking about Hoshino either - I mean, she's really cute, but I don't know if I'd call it love....

[dotcom]

[ he's checking because mineo is so fucking cagey about what he was doing back home so he's trying to find info :/

but this seems to be a dead end, so he eats some frosting. ]

Okay. We can drop the subject now.

[sengokus]

[HE'S THROWING A LEEK AT TAKERU]

Wait ten minutes before you just eat frosting!!

[HELLO????? HE HATES THIS]

And tell me what you were trying to figure out, huh!!

[dotcom]

Don't throw food, dumbass!

[ he can have food and also frosting. ]

It doesn't matter. We've moved on.

[sengokus]

Don't gorge yourself on frosting when the ramen is already instant?!

[HE CAN'T MAKE THIS FOOD ANY FASTER, TAKERU but at least it's gourmet instant ramen.... he's made this enough times he's good at it.]

What if I don't wanna move on.... Am I supposed to ask about your love life? Is this a test?

[dotcom]

Don't say something so disgusting while I'm eating.

[ he'll throw up. ]

[sengokus]

[HIS EXPRESSION DARKENS]

I thought we were going to bond....!! I wanted a different topic but I steeled my heart....!

[dotcom]

I already had to listen to enough of that during the trial.

[ the amount of people who offered to fuck mineo?

horrible. ]

[sengokus]

[slkfjsklflkjlkj he just flusters - the first real emotion on his face in the past day]

Sh-Shut up! Fine! New topic!

[he doesn't know what the new topic should be]

[dotcom]

Ugh...

[ he puts the frosting back in the fridge. ]

There's nothing in particular I want to talk about.

[sengokus]

[ . . . ]

So if you're not grilling me or testing me, you don't know what to talk about?

Dude...

[dotcom]

I don't like to waste time on useless chatter. Being here is exhausting.

[ he has to do so much stupid small talk and he hates it. ]

[sengokus]

Yeah, I guess there's a lot of get-to-know-you stuff between all the... impending doom.

[just

yeah.]

But I hear that at least you and Grace-san get along well. So that's a start?

[dotcom]

[ ... hnnnn. ]

I wouldn't go that far. We respect each other's space.

[sengokus]

[ . . . ]

Are you against having friends? I can't be friends with your roommate before you are - that's too awkward.

[dotcom]

I didn't come here to make friends with anyone here.

[ kara voice ]

[sengokus]

[hmmmm. mineo will just tilt his head at that as he cracks two eggies into their ramen pot. they will be runny. anna please understand this is the only way to have eggs.]

... but it's easier to work with people if we're friendly with them, right? I don't mind doing most of the running around [he knows he is just. the easier one to approach] but....

[takeru is just. smarter. he will pick up on things mineo will not.]

[dotcom]

[ I LOVE THAT YOU ARE ASSUMING ANNA IS READING THIS ]

I'll find other ways to get information.

[sengokus]

[in case she finds it, it's really important that she knows about egg discourse]

... alright.

[he just

shrugs and accepts that i hate this]

[dotcom]

[ and he just goes back to quietly waiting for the food. ]

[sengokus]

[this is so stupid i can't believe mineo just doesn't care if takeru has other friends

but it's fine because he's pretty sure they're friends???

and he'll be serving takeru a bowl of instant ramen! hell yea! there's an egg, scallion, onion, bean sprouts, ginger, the Works(tm) it actually looks good even if the veggies had to be chopped with a butter knife]
