"Haru wanted to come," he shrugs.

"No, I mean, why haven't you come more times since?"

"Dunno."

"Well, we should, then. Maybe visit other cafés, cycle through them so you can taste more food and meet more cats."

...there's an idea.

Yessssss... all according to plan.......

In a few minutes the waitress returns with the family size double strawberry milkshake and two straws. After asking Tōkan if they want to order anything more she walks off, muttering something under her breath about teenage alphas and omegas' unreasonable metabolisms.

Inori notices the milkshake immediately and flops back down onto the cushioned seat across the table from Tōkan. He grabs both straws and pulls the drink closer to him then lowers his mask and starts drinking.

He raises an eyebrow.

...what?

Oh, nothing. He supposes it's his own fault for assuming that the "family size" "double" thing meant Inori would share. 

Is he also a fool for assuming Inori will share the fries?

Yes. Get your own.

Figures.

He's still cute tho.

Fortunately for Tōkan's health Inori cannot read his mind to know that's what he's thinking.

Man, just the other day he was thinking he didn't want an omega crushing on him. Oh, how the turntables.

The manga store is probably very useful for Tōkan's character observation! Mostly Inori's choices are very characteristic: he likes action, tends to prefer stories that happen "on Earth" rather than isekais or pure fantasy, and goes for underdog protagonists. Some of his choices might be a bit stranger, though, like Not Your Typical Reincarnation Story.

Huh. Yeah, that is strange.

"What do you like about that one?" He wouldn't have expected an isekai romance between an omega and an alpha to be his thing.

He shrugs. "Dunno. I just like it."

"...alright." Well, more information to incorporate into his idea of Inori, then, he supposes.

He squints at Tōkan's smile but decides that it's not his problem and goes back to his manga.

The movie Tōkan picks is an action movie of the "someone being incredibly badass in martial arts" kind, and he specifically goes for one with a beta protagonist that's popular recently (though the actor is an alpha). He'd go for an omega if there was one, but those are very thin on the ground, and he expects Inori will appreciate a story about a bunch of alphas and betas having their asses kicked. And the popcorn.

Correct.

And on the way back to the Yamadas' he'll try to get opinions out of Inori and actually discuss the movie.

...fine. He'll get what he wants.

Inori doesn't love that the protagonist is a beta but it definitely is better than if they were an alpha; he absolutely hates stories with an alpha protagonist kicking ass, real life has enough of that for his tastes thank you kindly. He likes that the asskicking ended up solving problems. He likes that it wasn't just the asskicking, that the protagonist had to be good at other things, too. He has opinions on those other things, and opinions on what he thinks the protagonist should've done better and what he was being dumb about.

He thinks the plot was kinda bad? Mediocre? But he doesn't expect much from action movies anyway. It was fine for what it was.
