Touma sighed as he looked at the red spots on his arms from where the bees stung him, suddenly, he heard Claire say something, but he didn't really hear her. It was only until that she jabbed his thumb onto one of his bee stings that he started to pay attention.

"Ow!! What the hell, Fenix-chan?!", Touma exclaimed. The brown haired genderqueer pointed to Accelerator, who was staring at the slightly tanned teen. Touma looked over to Accelerator, and raised an eyebrow. Accelerator smirked and winked a bit at him. Touma shook his head, and looked back out the window. Accelerator sighed, and frowned. "That idiot didn't even acknowlegde me!", he then thought to himself.

"What was that?", Claire whispered. Touma shrugged.

"He just winked at me.", Touma replied. Claire snorted. The spiky haired teen looked over to his friend.

"What?"

"He's flirting with you, stupid". Touma's eyes widened slightly as his face turned pink...

"Flirting? With me? That's stupid... I'm sure he knows I'm straight.", Touma thought to himself. Claire shook her head, and carried on with her sketching.

About an hour or two later, Touma and Claire were making their way to the lunch area, Claire carrying an XL large carton of strawberries, flavored water, and a pack of gum, then Touma carrying a small tin box with a sandwich, an apple, and a carton of juice inside. The brown haired girl plopped down into an empty seat, then Touma sat next to her. Claire raised her legs, and rested her feet on Touma's shoulder. Touma grunted, and looked at her.

"Please stop.", he requested. Claire smiled devilishly, and shook her head, when suddenly, she felt her legs being pulled off of Touma.

"Hey, what the hell?", she asked, looked up, and saw a certain white haired level 5 looking down at her. She frowned with annoyance. "Oh, it's just the snowball.", Claire said.

"Yeah, yeah. Touma, I'm sitting next to you.", Accelerator said. Touma looked at him with confusion.

"Huh? Why?", Touma asked.

"Because I want to.", Accelerator replied.

"Hey, now, what if I don't wanna move from my seat?", Claire asked, giving an annoyed look. Accelerator pulled a cup of dipping chocolate from his pocket. Claire squinted at him, and took it from his hands.

"You win this round, snowball...", she said, stood, and walked away to find another comfy seat.

"Wait, Claire-!", Touma exclaimed, then sighed. She was too far away to hear him. Accelerator sat down in Claire's former chair, and leaned his head onto his hand. Touma looked around nervously, his heart beating slightly faster.

"Why did he want to sit by me? A few months ago, he would try to kill me on sight.", Touma thought. Accelerator looked over at him, and smiled. Touma noticed him, and looked back at him.

"Uh... what... are you smiling at?", Touma asked. Accelerator shook his head.

"Nothin'... your reactions are just amusing to me.", he replied.

"My reactions!?", Touma thought with unease, a slight sinking feeling forming in his gut, "What does he mean? Is he playing some kind of mind game? Is he trying to kill me again?"

Accelerator chuckled a bit. "So, did you enjoy the flowers and chocolates?"

"Well, I guess? The flowers were pretty, and Claire seemed to enjoy the-- wait a second!! How did you know about-", and suddenly... everything clicked it into place.
