MIYAAAA HI POOKIE !!! i’m here for the ask game >:)

strawberry 🍓 & cake 🍰 !!!!

YUUEEE SWEETIEEEEE I LOVE YOU SOOO MUCHHH ask game here !!

🍓strawberry / originally, kokonoi and i did noootttt like each other, not even one bit. i'd made relatively fast friends with seishu, since he was the first one i met while he was in the reform school. my brother was a guard there and i was introduced to a lot of people in that way, so i started to talk with seishu more and more until he eventually asked me to meet kokonoi for him because he wanted information on the gang world outside of the reform school, stuff that he wouldn't be able to get without an insider's information.

i did go to meet kokonoi at the end of the day, where i met him making a deal with some men. the men spotted me, though, and ended up hurting kokonoi because they thought he had betrayed them and was planning to use me to go to the cops since they'd recognized my family name on my backpack. we both got hurt pretty badly that day, but we started to talk nonetheless because i knew seishu would be sad if i didn't come back with any information.

the first thing i got from the conversation was that he was snarky, and completely unafraid to call me a dumbass to my face if i said something stupid. he told me that i was completely unaware of the ways of the world that he lived in, but he still gave me the information anyways. hours past, until the day was running out. even though he was so mean to me practically the entire conversation, when we got ready to leave, he offered to walk me home. i said sure, and he walked me towards my house, even staying until i made it inside, although he had to stay a distance away because he couldn't afford to be spotted by my brother. i went back to seishu the next day and made an offhanded comment about how gentlemanly kokonoi was. no matter how mean kokonoi seemed, he definitely had a soft spot for me from the start, and it was so obvious. that little act of kindness was definitely the first thing that attracted me to him.

🍰 cake / absolutely !! although it,, didn't go so well. i'm not the best baker, but i still wanted to attempt something nice for him for his birthday, anyways. people always associate april fools day with something lame, so i wanted to do something cute for him in return !! i knew he had anything that he could buy, so something handmade had to tug at his heartstrings a little, right ? well, i enlisted seishu and yuzuha's help, and together, we all did our best to make two different treats. yuzuha was in charge of the cupcakes, and seishu and i would tackle macarons. and then once we were done baking, we decided to come together and decorate them all together.

yuzuha did great !! she had gotten tips from mitsuya previously and nailed it with the cupcakes. seishu and i on the other hand,,, well, it didn't turn out quite so well. some were slightly burnt and some were undercooked, each were overmixed and the filling was lumpy. they were,, not great. but fuck it, for seishu and i, we were damn proud of our little treats ! although yuzuha didn't seem to share the same sentiment, seishu and i were overjoyed to be able to present our culinary creations to kokonoi !!

he took one look at them, and then at the cupcakes that we had decorated together. and he looked back at seishu's nervous but stoic demeanor, and the way i was practically jumping out of my boots in excitement, knowing he would just love them, of course he didn't have the heart to tell me that they sucked. he took a bite out of the macarons and told me thank you, and he really meant it. it was much less abut how they turned out and much more about how we had taken time out of our days to make something with our own two hands for him. he could handle monetary gifts, he'd been given plenty of expensive things that he did enjoy. but it was different when it was a testament of hard work and trials that we had to overcome for him that really sold it for him. this is how i figured out that he preferred more thoughtful gifts rather than just a price tag.
