WHY: See what, kids.
WARN: None.


Kozue wasn't normally a student who focused that much in class; her mind drifted off and she stared out the window, or she passed notes, or she sent text messages composed one slow key-tap at a time on a totally silenced phone tucked in her desk. Today, she'd been thinking about Misaki. Of all the odd things, yes, Misaki. Of course, it wasn't easy to completely disregard her when the fluorescent-haired girl was in the same room with you all day.

Misaki had been visibly upset at the assembly on Monday - had she been agitated on the camping trip, too, or was Kozue just projecting bad feelings backwards? Certainly, when Kozue had seen her at the arcade, she'd also dropped hints... Or maybe just spoken of her feelings honestly, as that seemed more consistent with Aoi's usual behavior.

By the time class ended, Kozue had formulated a plan of sorts. Maybe Misaki was, in fact, down in the dumps; maybe not. Either way, Kozue could still very clearly remember that visit to Oubai's ryotei, when Misaki had offered -- practically fought, in fact -- to pay for her dessert course, and how she'd said she'd make it up to the other girl when it sort of fell through. But she hadn't ever gotten around to it. And kindness like that was the sort of thing that really deserved reciprocation, more than any fancy after-dinner treat. And why wasn't today a good day? At least, provided that Misaki wasn't headed for one of her many club meetings. If Kozue had known what days the clubs all met, she could have planned better - but why was she interested in finding that out? It hardly mattered. Either it'd be today, or they'd make plans for later.

When the teacher dismissed them, and the students started to rise and unsettle and chat, Kozue got up and made her way over to Misaki's desk: "Misaki-chan, are you busy today? I was thinking about going out for a snack, if you'd like to join me."
