"Is that what you were trying for?"

"Not exactly but I guess it'll do."

"What were you going for then?"

"The complete boyfriend package, no 'ums' and 'ahs' involved."

"I am not completely sure how that works in practice."

"Not avoiding me at all, jokingly or otherwise, is a start."

"I got that much."

"Good."

"And – further than that?"

"Seeking me out? Enjoying my company, being there, being close, that sort of thing."

Anthony opts to finish putting some stuff away and then goes over to and kisses Kaede.

Seeing as they're conveniently alone in the cafeteria.

!!!!!!!

Grinning does not get in the way of this too much.

And then Anthony breaks away to say: "You're adorable."

"It's true, I am. Good thing I got an adorable boyfriend to match."

"Hope we don't break people."

"By being overwhelmingly adorable?"

"It seems plausible."

"If you say so."

"Maybe you haven't seen us, not properly."

"What an outrageous hypothesis."

"Outrageous, is it."

"Yep. Look at me. Outraged."

"You really seem it," he says, continuing to smirk. Then he goes to kiss Kaede again.
