Love Isn't As Simple As It Should Be

Female Intuition

"Miyuki-senpai! Miyuki-senpai! You're going too fast. Where are you taking me?" Satomi asked Miyuki who was holding her hand.

After she gave him the stuffed animal at the park, Miyuki immediately took her hand without saying anything and started running towards an unknown location, muttering something about returning the favor.

"Isn't it obvious?" he asked, slightly turning around to face her.

Satomi gave him a quizzical look before looking up towards the building that was in front of them.

"An arcade?" she asked.

"Let's go," Miyuki said, squeezing her hand before walking towards the arcade. The place was huge and loud, filled with chatter from students their age and theme songs from the games.

"What are we doing here, Miyuki-senpai?" Satomi asked, confused, while she trailed behind him. Throughout the time she had known him, Miyuki had never shown an interest in games.

"To get you a toy, silly," Miyuki said with a playful grin before stopping in front of the claw crane vending machine.

"Huh?"

"Which one do you want?" he asked while digging for spare change in his pocket.

"But why?" Satomi asked, still confused.

Miyuki playfully rolled his eyes. "You got me that crab so I also want to give you something," he explained as if it was obvious. "So which one do you want?"

"But you don't have to do that," Satomi said, protesting.

"I know, but I want to," he said in a firm tone.

Satomi was going to protest again but decided against it, knowing that his tone indicated that he was not going to budge. "You could just buy it at some store, y'know?" she said instead.

The catcher smirked at her. "And where is the fun in that?"

Now it was Satomi's turn to roll her eyes. Typical Miyuki, treating everything as a competition. "I thought the point was to get me a gift."

"It is, but it doesn't mean that I can't get some fun out of it," he said before turning around to face the claw crane. "So which one do you want?" he asked again.

Satomi stood beside him while looking inside the machine where different stuffed animals were scattered. "I guess the easiest one for you," she replied with a shrug.

Miyuki groaned. "Oh c'mon! The easiest one? Don't you have faith in me?"

A blush crept onto Satomi's cheeks. "I just don't want to make things harder for you."

"Is that so?" he said with a mischievous smile. "So you wouldn't mind getting that one then? He asked pointing to a green alien with bulging eyes and two horns. "It's not too far."

Satomi grimaced. "No, that one is not cute."

"See? So you do have a preference."

Satomi looked away, embarrassed without saying anything.

"I just want you to always speak your mind," Miyuki said with no hint of sarcasm in his tone. "So which one do you want?"

Satomi gave him a small smile, feeling touched by his words. "The teddy bear," she said, pressing her hands against the glass.

"Which one?" he asked, looking for the teddy bear in question since there were many of them in different sizes and colors.

"The one with the glasses," Satomi replied pointing to the brown teddy bear in the far corner of the machine.
