[h3]Shizuka Otonashi || Pastry Shop || June 13 SAT: After School[/h3]
Before she could locate her wallet in her school bag, Shizuka was stopped by the upperclassman and was offered to be treated to whatever she wanted. [color=violet]"E-Eh, bu-but I couldn't. I-I'm able to pay for my ow--"[/color] While the freshman attempted to hesitantly reject his offer, Masahide had already made his order and directed an expectant expression with a small grin towards her. The thought of rejecting and paying for her own item crossed her mind but as she paused for a moment to think, Shizuka decided that if he seemed insistent on it and he had already informed the clerk, might as well gratefully accept the offer.

After releasing a defeated sigh, the dark haired teen parted her lips, [color=violet]"T-Thank you, Saji-senpai. Ju-Just this once, I'll accept. "[/color] Her half hidden gaze directed itself towards the glass case of cakes again. [color=violet]"Well, tiramisu is one of my favorites... Or perhaps I shall try a slice of millefeuille..." [/color], she mumbled to herself as she excitedly decided between the little treats sparkling with appetizing aura. [color=violet]"I suppose I'll take a slice of mont blanc."[/color] Shizuka spoke shyly, still hesitant about having Masa pay for her cake. Before heading towards an empty table by the window side, she waited for the transaction to finalize.

Upon taking her seat and settling herself down, a sudden realization struck the younger student, from an outsider's point of view, [i]this looked like a date[/i]. Spacing out towards the window, she shook her head and convinced herself that it wasn't, it's merely a 'hangout with a friend'. I mean, she visits this shop with her friends all the time, this was probably similar to that. But why did this scenario have to remind her of a certain shoujo manga she read recently? The boy treats the female protagonist to a cake and tea, almost like what Masa had just done for her! At the end of the cafe scene, the female protagonist confe-- 

[i]SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE.[/i] Shizuka comically and violently shook her head to get rid of her usual silly shoujo fantasies and paused. Oh no. Does she look stupid right now? Did she get any weird look from the upperclassman? [color=violet]"Um..... Do-Don't mind me, senpai. T-There is nothing wrong."[/color], she softly whispered with cheeks tinted with a bright red hue from embarrassment.
