"Waaah, just look at all of the different flavors of melon bread they have, Producer!" Kokoro's eyes sparkled as he read the list of types of melon bread, wondering which ones to get.
"You can get two kinds- my treat." Producer smiled at how excited Kokoro was to see all of the custard melon breads, knowing that he'd been wanting to try custard melon bread but not knowing where to find a shop that sold it. Even when she'd told him where they were going after practice, his eyes lit up and he'd squealed, hugging the producer.
"Producer, can i get the vanilla and chocolate custard melon bread?" Kokoro turned to her after reading the list and making a decision, and Producer nodded her head, placing the order for two vanilla custard melon breads, one for Kokoro and one for herself, and a chocolate custard melon bread for Kokoro. Once she'd thanked the clerk and gotten their food, she gracefully sat down at one of the tables in the shop and called Kokoro over. Kokoro bounced over, taking the seat across from her and scooting the chair in.
"i'd recommend staring with the vanilla custard one. That one is my absolute favorite out of the custard varieties of melon bread they have here." Producer picked up one of the vanilla custard melon breads and took a small bite, prompting Kokoro to do the same. Kokoro followed Producer's lead, grabbing the otehr vanilla bread and taking a medium sized bite to gauge whether or not he liked it. His eyes went wide, and he took another bite, but this time one of a bigger proportion.
"It's delicious...!" Kokoro smiled widely as he took another bite of the custard-filled pastry in his hands, eating quickly and not taking his time in the slightest. Producer chuckled at how excitedly Kokoro was eating the bread, covering her mouth slightly with her hand.
"Kokoro, make sure not to eat too fast, or you'll get a stomachache. At least savor the flavor!" Producer tried speaking to Kokoro, but laughs interrupted her words, the smile in her voice evident.
"Kokoro wouldn't get a stomachache that easily. I'm used to eating quickly and besides, this is just so good!!" Kokoro polished off the vanilla bread that was in his hands, reaching for the chocolate one that was still on the table. "Thank you, Producer, for showing me this shop's melon bread! I never knew that there was a place nearby that sold custard melon bread. I've always wanted to try it!" Kokoro giggled as spoke, taking another gigantic bite of the chocolate bread.
"It's no problem Kokoro," Producer replied, but her smile disappeared a second later as she looked at Kokoro's face, "oh, but you've got some custard on the side of your mouth." Producer leaned over to Kokoro, using her thumb to wipe away the chocolate custard that was on his lower cheek. Kokoro's face flushed red, and he quickly took a bite out of his melon bread, looking away as he gulped it down, his face still blushing. "is something the matter the Kokoro? Oh, should I not have touched your face?"
"Cute." Kokoro murmured, making Producer give him a look of confusion.
"Hm? What's cute, Kokoro?" Kokoro turned back to face her, his face still red but this time smiling widely at Producer.
"As usual, you're so cute, Big Sis!" Producer spluttered at Kokoro, giving him a look with wide eyes.
"K-Kokoro, I thought we agreed not to call me big sister! Just 'Producer' is fine, okay? Big Sis is a bit much..." Kokoro laughed at how absolutely adorable producer was being.
"No need to be shy, Sis!" Kokoro joked around with the Producer, holding back giggles as the Producer would blush slightly. "i'm just joooking, Producer~! But really, thank you for bringing me here today. Everyday, you're so kind to Kokoro, even going so far as to get me melon bread and help me with practice... Hehe, i love you, Producer!" Kokoro grinned, hugging Producer even from across the table, making sure not to get melon bread crumbs on her.
"Thank you, Kokoro. I like you as well." Producer's smile was warm as she looked over at Kokoro, making his face start tot urn a bit pink, but he hid that fact by smiling wide and giggling.
Producer really is cute... not as cute as me, obviously, but she's really something
"You should show me your cuteness more often, Producer!" When he noticed the questioning look Producer was giving him, he decided to elaborate. "Like, you're stressed lot of the time, and i love it when i can see your sincere, warm and dazzling smiles. Ah, you've been learning from Kokoro, haven't you?" He beamed, for emphasis, and Producer covered her mouth, stifling another laugh from coming out.
"Yes, i suppose I have been smiling more thanks to your smiles. Though i shouldn't say I've been 'learning from you' per se," Producer replied, uncovering her mouth so she could properly speak. "Your smiles are far more dazzling than mine, Kokoro. You're quite the adorable Aichuu. Maybe perhaps even the cutest."
"'Perhaps'? I am the cutest! Kokoro is the cutest idol there is- that's just common knowledge, Producer!" Kokoro finished off his chocolate melon bread with a huff, a smirk on his face.
"Heh, but of course. My apologies..." Producer's lips were upturned, even as she got up to throw away their trash. "Well then, Kokoro, i should be getting you back to the dorms, shouldn't I? And I myself should be getting back home."
"Already? We can't stay and talk longer? Alright..." Pouting, Kokoro stood up and followed Producer back out to her light blue car, opening the door and climbing inside the passenger seat as Producer climbed into the drivers seat. Kokoro held Producer's hand, smiling as he intertwined then untangled their fingers, looking at Producer's painted nails. "You really have nice nails, Producer. Will you let me paint them one day?"
"If you would like, then i suppose you may, Kokoro." Producer responded, turning her key into the car and starting it up with a rumble. "Feel free to choose whatever color you like. Seeing your nails, I can assume you can paint nails rather nicely." Kokoro hummed in agreement, looking down at his bright pink nails.
"...Thank you for taking me out today, Producer! I'll make sure to paint your nails the very best i can to make up for it!" Producer chuckled upon hearing Kokoro's response.
"Mm, sounds like a plan. I'll eagerly be awaiting your manicure, then." Producer smiled as she began driving in the direction of the dorms, and Kokoro threaded thir fingers together for a second time, deciding in his head that he would definitely paint her nails the same shade of pink he was wearing so they would match.
