Takeshi smiled slightly as Reina stopped mid sentence when he mentioned bringing her food. But even more so was seeing that rare smile grace her face. A genuine smile of happiness. Enough to make his own heart skip a beat. 

He watched her as she moved forward towards him, using his middle finger and thumb to spread the bag opening as much as he could for her as she peeked in. She then teased about getting free food with only fighting off a murderous villain or two. He snickered slightly. In all honesty Michiko would bake cookies for strangers. She enjoyed cooking and baking so much that the effort put into it was half the reward for doing it. [color=bc8dbf] “If free food is all you wanted, simply asking her to make something good would have sufficed. You just earned free food for the rest of your life.[/color] he said with a smile but with the redness on his cheeks apparent. Thinking the implications of her being in his and michiko’s lives for the rest of it. 

Luckily Reina had turned around and took the bag with her, moving a table so she could eat it while sitting on the bed. Takeshi stood at the door still, his fingers rubbing against each other as he didn’t know what to do at the moment. He noticed her glancing at him and then back to the food, before motioning him over, moving the table enough to make it clear that she wanted him to sit next to her. A sudden wave of heat brushed against his face, as he slowly made his way over. 

She then mentioned she would be able to eat all of it, but that would have been rude. She paused for a moment then suddenly thought he was just trying to leave it and go, saying he was free to do so. In all honesty, he was planning for that...only in assuming that she would want to get some rest...but he chuckled inwardly for thinking that...it was Reina of course. The only reason she was still in the hospital was because she wouldn’t rest. 

He shook his head. [color=bc8dbf] “I have nowhere else I need or want to be at the moment….”[/color] He blushed as he scratched the back of his head. Suddenly realizing what he said he stammered, trying to move on [color=bc8dbf]” A-also it w-wouldn’t be rude of you to eat that all by yourself...it was meant for you.” [/color] He said as he sat down next to her. The table was small enough that they had to sit close to each other, their elbows and biceps touching as he reddened more. 

However his stomach growled audibly as he smelt the sushi again. Causing him to blush even more and abead of sweat trickle down his temple. It was Michiko’s sushi. While making it she didn’t allow him to have any. Slapping his hand as he tried to take a sample. But he turned and insisted. [color=bc8dbf] “It is your gift, Just sitting here is enough. [/color]
