komaeda dries off his hands with a counter towel, making sure that his hands are completely clean before walking over to the freezer to pull out a tray, and on it is a literal bowl with another bowl inside, and ice settled between it. it takes a few good taps on the side to wedge it out, but the bowl comes off the top half, and then the bottom to show an actual bowl of ice that he sits right side up on the tray. the two bowls he used are tossed into the sink, and if narumi squints, he can see that the ice has a few cut up fruits between that looks like strawberries? very thin and small slices. )
Are you lactose intolerant?
( anyway, can't make fruit bowls in the classroom. )
no subject
[ What kind of lunch is he...? frozen strawberry slices? surely there was a less complicated way to do that ]
no subject
( he's going to search for some kiwis and cantaloupe, they might have that, i hope they do because he's going to start cutting them into portions before he pours in the milk. he's making something like this because i rolled a d20 on how bad he'd be fucking this up, and he got a sixteen, so it'll say he puts in pepper, and peppermint for the added flavor because so it has a kick. i'm so sad, make komaeda make his horrible foods, because this is so... )
So what did you want to talk about? This is our time together.
( that komaeda has an idea he didn't really want to talk because he never brought that up at the start. )
no subject
Uh.
[ Correct, he did not want to talk. But he can be polite, until the end of the lunch hour. ]
How have you been?
no subject
...Hm! I've been fine, a little stressed out because finals are coming... what if I fail?
( jk, he's going to pass because it's komaeda, he's a smart kid, but he can make conversation to. )
no subject
[ Honeydew and milk would maybe be okay if blended into a smoothie, but that and watermelon and pepper...
Narumi looks away from the culinary atrocity and takes another bite from his gratefully normal onigiri. ]
You just have to do your best, I guess.
[ The concept of failing is a strange one to him, never having problems with pen-and-paper exams. ]
no subject
( it rolled a 16 so that means it'll be good!! trust komaeda's bad taste buds, i promise you. he'll slide the bowl to narumi because he's interested in his thoughts. )
...Yeah, I hope everyone else can make it! I don't really have to deal with those problems.
( "but he just said," yeah, and he changed everything. )
no subject
[ And he has his own lunch. But he also didn't wash his hands, so he does not touch the bowl of ice to slide it back to Komaeda. ]
no subject
( because narumi sucks and doesn't want to have fun, why are all the third years dead inside...? komaeda's not hurt though, and he fans the cool smoke towards narumi as he eats. )
What do you like, I can try again... Hm... Water works too.
no subject
[ He is not walking across campus with a bowl of ice looking for Hikaru, okay. ]
You don't have to worry about me, seriously. I've brought my own lunch, so you should eat something yourself, while you can.
no subject
I'm not really hungry... I've lost my appetite, but that's normal.
( for people his age as he looks at the onigiri that narumi has... )
Did you make those?
no subject
I did. It's just rice and furikake, though.
[ You pack some rice into a mold and squeeze it tight and it's done, quick and easy and, most importantly, very cheap. ]
no subject
No potatoes this time?
( that's what he should have made, actually, but that's for next time. )
You should make some for Chidouin-san, too. Every time I run into her, she has a hunger that's never satiated.
no subject
[ Like, rice is a staple. Potato is a stable. You use them as bases for actual meals, you don't use them together. ]
I guess I do owe her, though. Do you know what she likes in her onigiri?
no subject
If you had to make a lucky guess... what's your favorite type of paste?
( they're on the right path. )
no subject
Lotus seed, but not in onigiri. Surimi would work, though.
[ Dessert onigiri... Actually that does sound good, Narumi would eat dessert onigiri. ]
no subject
That'll work, and red bean, she's a basic girl after all.
( why does that icon looks like he's the shy crush trying to cook right for his strong crushee. )
I can teach you a trick when asking what someone likes to eat, too.
no subject
Besides just asking them?
no subject
You are asking them, but it never hurts to have a little fun. Chidouin-san doesn't do well if you aren't a little creative.
( yeah, it's called being creative. )
no subject
[ Maybe that's why it feels like she's always angry at him, because he's more or less the opposite of creative.
With a sigh, he breaks off what little is left of his onigiri and holds out the wrapped unbitten part to Komaeda. Advanced payment for advice, even if it's just rice. ]
What's the trick?
no subject
You tell her to guess what you're going to make for her. ( it works on hinata, trust me. ) And whatever she says first, you agree to it!
( it's those lifehacks when you ask your crush to guess where you're taking them out to eat, and they whatever they say is where you go so you're praised and right. )
Chidouin-san may be smarter than Hinata-kun, but she has a good heart, so she'll give you an answer.
no subject
But then I would have to make it.
[ Sara would hold him to it, he knows it. If he says never mind or that he was just kidding, she'd sock him. ]
no subject
( it's easy as one, two, three. ) If she could leave school grounds, you could take her to said place, and tell her no, a place of your choosing since we aren't sure what's all beyond the forest, but... we're here.
( so he has to do with making her stuff, but he'll twist it a bit. )
You can tell her to guess what favorite snack you'll be getting her, now that seems easier on your end.
no subject
[ He's seen what you're like in the kitchen, do not touch anything he's trying to make. ]
But... I guess I can try that, the next time I see her.
no subject
...Okay.
