WHO: Kozue and Keiichi
WHAT: Lots of discussion of things.
WHERE: Kozue's room, at a time when Kiriko is Not Present.
WHEN: Today!
WHY: Because it's long overdue?

Keiichi knocked on the door of his ex-girlfriend. As had become his wont lately, he had a small tray of cookies with him. With lots of time on his hands due to break, he filled it with baking. These cookies happened to be of the peanut butter variety.

"Kondo-san? It's me, Keiichi. I'm here."

Lots of time had passed, but Keiichi still felt a tad awkward around her. After all, his virginity was hers, and all that. Considering her reputation, one could be mistaken for assuming it was on a jar with the others she'd claimed.

"They're great," Kozue said, eying them and wishing for another; surely one more cookie wouldn't be the difference between model-skinny and pig-fat. Right?

"Thank you. And… You know, Satou-senpai isn't as horrible as I used to think he was, he's just really sensitive. Kind of like a little boy who drinks too much." If that wasn't damning him with faint praise, well… "It's probably not easy for everyone to sympathize with him." She inched her hand closer to the plate. One more cookie. Just one more.

"Probably not, no. I haven't actually had that much alcohol, not even at your party, so..."

Keiichi watched her hand creeping towards the cookie, and he chuckled. "Go ahead, eat it. I hate to be a killjoy, but we spend a good chunk of our fair time in mortal danger. I find it hard to deny myself yummy things in such situations."

Unspoken was the "you are rail thin and do not need to worry."

"It would be a waste if we had to go into Paradise to get someone and I didn't get to eat them all," she mused, justifying it to herself. "And Kiriko-san might steal them while I wasn't looking, too…"

Kozue had no doubt of that fact. No doubt at all. She reached out and took another cookie from the plate. "Oh. Would you like one? Here I am, stuffing my face, and..." She grinned.

"I am on board with this reasoning," Keiichi agreed. "These are cookies for you. No Kirikos allowed."

Ito shifted uncomfortably in his chair. He really was trying to avoid the topic of Ikeda-san, but it kept rising to the front.

Nodding, he reached across and took a cookie. "Thank you." He took a bite, and smiled in satisfaction. "These are pretty good. Maybe I'm getting better."

Kozue laughed, and crunched down on the cookie. "Okay, I can get behind that plan. I'll hide them. Or finish them all."

In the name of keeping all the peanut butter goodness to herself, she could definitely get behind eating more cookies. Just a few more. Maybe just the entire plate more.

In a moment of generosity inspired by Keiichi's tacit point that she wasn't fat and could go ahead and eat cookies to her heart's content, sans judgement, Kozue continued, veering off the topic of Ikeda (mostly). "It's better that we stopped dating sooner—it's not like it could have worked between us in the long run." Oh, that sounded ungenerous, um, oops; Kozue rushed to continue. "I mean, since I'm not allowed to choose a long term relationship for myself anyway, and you're a good guy. That seems like what you want."

It still came out all garbled--why did all her attempts at goodness end up self-centered and fragmentary? Ugh. She bit into her cookie in frustration. Stupid words.

	Keiichi's eyebrow cocked in what best could be described as confusion. "What do you mean, you don't get to choose?" He still looked confused, really. The entire concept of arranged marriage had been one of those things tangent to his mind even when introduced in Ikeda-san's dungeon. It was 2013, for crying out loud. Such things didn't still exist, right? (Reply to this) (Parent)
