"I think I may like you"

Hu Tao almost immediately comes back to her senses, what had she just blurted? What if Kokomi thought she was some sort of creep or flirt that wasn't interested in anything other than a 'good time.'

"You flatter me far too much," a shy smile spreads upon Kokomi's plump lips. Hu Tao could hear the thumping in her neck eventually calm into its usual rhythmic hum, the other woman had thankfully taken Hu Tao's sloppy and thoughtless confession as a joke. Who would after knowing each other for the equivalent of an hour, however, Hu Tao would be a fool to ignore their blatant chemistry.

Kokomi's delicate hands then gripped onto Hu Tao's previously used knife, slowly and ever so gracefully cutting the dampened seagrass into thin strips. Even a normal activity such as this mezmerized Hu Tao, no that wasn't right. A normal activity performed by Kokomi captured Hu Tao's attention.

Hu Tao then decides to make herself useful and wets her hands underneath the tap water, making sure both have full coverage, she then takes a hand full of rice into her palms and rolls it into a circular shape. Hu Tao repeats the steps three more times creating four rice balls.

"I made a few extra strips of seagrass just in case we mess up, I hope you don't mind."

"Not at all, I'm pretty good at rolling rice buuuuuut I suck with seagrass," Hu Tao smiles in response.

"I get that sometimes the seagrass is either too dry or too wet, either way, it breaks apart..." A hearty sigh leaves Kokomis's lips, she promptly wraps some seagrass around one of the rice balls; Hu Tao soon follows.

"Yeah, it's super annoying then your parents start nagging you about how you can't do anything right," Hu Tao thoughtlessly replied not realising she had just leaked something somewhat personal.

"Yeah, they also put a lot of pressure onto you and expect you to be as mature as them or to accomplish everything they have at a young age," Hu Tao realises that both herself and Kokomi are much more similar than they appear on the surface, her heart tightens at the thought. The two women had also finished the onigiri topping it with some sesame seeds.

"Let's eat at the dining table, okay!" Before Kokomi had the chance to reply, Hu Tao places the onigiri plate onto the table, Kokomi soon follows by grabbing the omelette plate and positioning it onto the same table.

"You sit anywhere you like I'll go grab some clean chopsticks," Kokomi replied with a hum.

Making sure to grab her fanciest chopsticks Hu Tao returns to Kokomi and hands her a pair of dark brown and beige chopsticks with golden tips and adepti art decorating them.

"Thank you, oh my these are very gorgeous they must be expensive, are you sure it's okay I use these?" Slight concern yet fascination was written all over Kokomi's face.

"Of course, that's why I handed them to you silly," a playful smile was plastered over Hu Tao's face, could Kokomi get any more perfect? Polite, modest, cute and gorgeous, Hu Tao had flutters in her stomach, whenever looking at the other lady.
