[I]"You heard the damn idiot."[/I]

From the tone of the younger boy's voice, and his words...it was plain as the current moment of this day that he was upset by something. Letting himself be dragged along, Sakaki slowly furrowed his eyebrows before finally asking..."Ummm...Kiku-kun, is something bothering you?" Just as he was being dragged around, the man caught sight of two shops in passing. Digging his heels into the pavement, which eventually became enough to stop Kiku, Sakaki alternated between pointing at one shop and the other, "Oh, Kiku-kun! That shop is a decent enough bakery, we could get a replacement pastry for Kuyu-kun there! But...that hostess bar over there has the best green tea you'll ever taste! Perhaps...could we stop by to one of them?" Sakaki didn't mind letting the younger male choose which shop, smiling and looking over at him.
