"San, we've been driving around for hours and my butt is hurting. Could we please stop somewhere to stretch my legs?" Kurenai pleas for the umpteenth time, finally managing to capture his attention with her pleading expression.

He steals a glance in her direction, taking in her pinching up brows and the tiny pout of her lips as they turn down in a frown. He sighs.

"Alright, I suppose we can stop somewhere. We're close to where I was thinking of stopping initially, would you like to go there?"

"How long will it take to get there?" She answers his questions with one of her own as he makes a left onto a very familiar street.

"Not long, actually. We're like two minutes away." He speeds up the car's pace a little bit and as he had promised, they end up at the destination he had in mind since the beginning.

Pulling up to the curb in front of the location, San kills the car's engine, turning to look at Kurenai with a dimpled smile to see how she likes the place he picked.

"Butterfly Cafe? Are you serious?" She gives him an incredulous look, watching as his smile falls into a confused frown.

"What? I thought you liked the cafe the last time you visited."

"I mean, I do, but did we seriously drive around for almost 5 hours just to end up 20 minutes away from the dorms? And isn't this place owned by the Meisters? They'll literally be able to see us if they have any cameras installed in there and I'm sure they do because they always have cameras in their establishments." Kurenai reasons with him, but she starts to grow impatient when she sees him rest his head back against the headrest of his seat and completely ignore her, getting lost in his own world. "What if they catch us both on the cameras and send someone here to get us both? Do you know how bad the team will— San! Are you even listening?"

"Mm, yes and no." His head lolls to the side, so he can see her with a cheeky grin and Kurenai bites down on her tongue, giving him a murderous glare before turning to the car door and opening it silently. "Kurenai, what are you doing? I was joking! I was listening to you." San attempts to grab her, but she moves faster than he can catch her, prompting him to also climb out of the car and go around to get her.

Kurenai starts to speed-walk to get away from him, being unable to run or jog because of her injured state, and San is grateful that she isn't at her full capacity. If not, it would've been much harder to catch her.

He tries to grab her wrist the first time, but he misses completely when she snatches it away, so he does the next best thing he could think of and wraps his arms around her tightly, but not tight enough to harm.

"Listen, I was only joking—."

"No, you were literally ignoring me. Now, let me go!" She writhes under his grip. A futile action because of the obvious difference in strength. She could have probably freed herself if she weren't injured. Sadly, that was not the case.

To stop her from moving completely, San presses her back against his chest and sets his chin on her shoulders to calm her down which works surprisingly. The convincing warmth of San's body wasn't helping her out either, so she ended up giving in, letting her hands drop limply as he steers her back toward the cafe.
