I SMILED SO STUPIDLY WHEN I SAW THIS AT WORK..... also this is text sometime later.

[mapsio]

Hibiki-kun? Are you available?

i'm glad c:

[secrowtary]

Yes. Is something the matter?

[ He replies immediately, realizing that Haru must have received the gift. ]

c:

[mapsio]

Nothing is the matter. Just, I recieved your gift.
It was very thoughtful. Did you make them yourself?

[secrowtary]

I just wanted to thank you, that's all. And yes, I did. Actually, I quite enjoy cooking and baking, so expect such gifts more often.

[ This means war. Gift war. ]

[mapsio]

I certainly appreciate the gesture. May I come over, Hibiki-kun?

[THIS MEANS W A R. ]

[secrowtary]

Of course, I'll be waiting.

[ He doesn't suspect anything... ]

[mapsio]

Good. I'll be over soon, okay?

[Give or take an hour, where ever Hibiki is staying there will be a knock on the door. The gifting and spoiling war will now continue.]

[secrowtary]

Alright.

[ He's so not ready for what ever she's planning?! ]

Haru-san?

[mapsio]

[It looks like she has a small basket in her hands?]

Hello, Hibiki-kun. I've brought a few things for you and I to share.

[secrowtary]

Oh? [ Hibiki just doesn't understand. ] Hello. But...you didn't have to bring anything.

[ Screaming internally. He's so unprepared!! ]

[mapsio]

Are you sure? I brought tea, some tea cakes, and some cookies. I thought we could share a snack.

[Aka) TIME TO SPEND MORE TIME WITH HIBIKI.]

[secrowtary]

[ He can't imagine Haru arriving empty-handed now, how could he made such an oversight...!! ]

Make yourself at home, Haru-san. I can't believe you have caught me off guard...

[mapsio]

Does that never happen, Hibiki-kun?

[She's almost proud of herself. Entering in and setting down the things she brought.]

[secrowtary]

Quite rarely, I'd say. I always try my best not to allow it to happen, but there are some people who are capable of taking me by surprise...

[ That's at work, though. And this is a friend's meeting, which is why he's so flustered right now. In a moment, Hibiki will bring some plates and offer to prepare tea, but before that happens: ]

I hope that you do realize that I'm going to repay your kindness.

[mapsio]

I think I want to mkae it a goal to surprise you more often.

[That's just dangerous, but! She is willing to do it.]

Oh? Why? You don't have to do that Hibiki-kun.

[secrowtary]

That's...

[ There's only one way he can react to Haru's words, and that is to blush...of course. ]

I'm honored, but making it a goal...isn't it a bit too much?

[ Is it a friendship thing? Setting goals? He's a bit confused here. What his goal should be? Making sweets for her once a week? Or perhaps twice a week? Or, perhaps, it should be something different? ]

But I... [ To be honest, it's not even a matter of repaying the favor or anything like that. He just— ] I want to do it.

[mapsio]

[This is definitely one of those friendship things.]

The goal isn't too much. Because the real goal is getting to see you smile, Hibiki-kun.

[Haru is totally winning here.]

[secrowtary]

[ Hibiki.exe has stopped working. Haru's cuteness caused the program to stop working correctly. Hibiki.exe will now shut down. ]

I'll...prepare the tea for us, yes. Excuse me.

[ He's going to run to the kitchen, blushing. Haru won this round so easily, and it becomes clear that he'll need a plan if he wants to go against her in this friendship battle?! ]

[mapsio]

[Well then she will set up the table with the sweets and snacks she brought. She feels super accomplished right about now.]

Take your time, Hibiki-kun.
