WHO: Kozue and Keiichi
WHAT: Present! A Present!
WHERE: Chagall Cafe.
WHEN: After Seiko's Dungeon.
WHY: Kozue cannot resist her compulsion to buy the world.

Kozue had been medicating her doubts and worries in much the same way she had done after other stints in Paradise—aside from her own—shopping and ice cream and cake. Of course, she had covered two out of three of those things in her own place in Paradise. So she was out for coffee and cake; she was also being productive.

At the used bookstore, when she'd meant to buy a Feel Better gift for Renju, or an I Regret That Your Head God Is On Vacation present (they didn't make cards for that), she had ended up buying... More things. For other people. At least, in a used book store, she hadn't found anything for herself, which had probably saved her some money in the end.

She'd texted Keiichi to let him know she had something to give him—and she'd gotten a piece of peach pie while she waited. With a side of ice cream. If Ito showed up in time, he could have some.

"Thank you," he said, slowing down his pace a bit, allowing him to actually taste the peachy goodness.

He listened to her speak. Keiichi perceived a mix of chiding and encouragement in her voice, which was something he tended to read out of her a lot.

It was something that he really read from a lot of people, come to think of it.

"There's a certain innate awkward that comes with being Keiichi, really," he explained, and really, she'd been around him enough to know that it was likely true. "I'll avoid the benefits related awkward, though."

Really, the benefits being offered were rather nice. Especially considering...

"I don't know if I ever really said this when we dated, so it's kind of overdue. You're really hot."

It was a sort of...un-Keiichi moment, all told, but a genuine one. Dat ass didn't lie.

She laughed, her eyes squeezing closed, as she brushed another stray piece of hair back from her face. "Thanks, Ito-kun." It was sweet. Sweet in, yes, that kind of awkward way that, as she thought about it, she realized she associated with Keiichi now and again. Possibly less often than he thought it of himself.

It wasn't that she didn't know it, but this was not the way in which she usually was told she was attractive. Usually, it had more of an ulterior motive—or more spite—hovering about. And considering that Keiichi had already gotten what people usually had an ulterior motive for? It was less suspect.

Keiichi had been right, of course. Kozue *was* hot. But there was more than that; she could also be really cute sometimes too. Her laughter made him feel that way, coupled with the casual brush of hair away from her face.

"Don't mention it," he grinned back, putting away his last forkful of peach pie. It had been quite good, but his mind was temporarily diverted away from food and onto other, even more pleasant thoughts.

"When you're finished, we can go to the Iburi Duper Mart," Keiichi said, "as it's probably closest to here. I haven't been there in forever...not since the day I ended up in Paradise."

He hadn't thought about that in a while, really. Paradise he more or less remembered, but the events leading up to him going in were a blur.
