In Love with your Sweet Side (Kei Tsukishima)

A Goddess and Disapointment

🍰 This is a later continuation from last chapter🍰

Emiko sighed in relief as the teacher announced lunch time. She reached for her bento box wrapped in a plain grey cloth before getting up to head to the vending machines for a water bottle. As she walked past Tsukishima's desk she noticed that he had brought a slice of the shortcake he had bought yesterday.

She couldn't contain herself as her curiosity about what other people thought about her new cake over came her and she turned herself to Tsukishima.

It didn't take long for Tsukishima to notice her strange behavior, "Do you need anything?" He asked while raising an eyebrow. Emiko's face warmed a bit. She couldn't contain her curiosity, even if it meant talking to the beanstalk.

She opened her mouth before closing it and opening it again, not wanting to swallow her pride. She glanced towards Yamaguchi who gave her a puzzled smile.

"Well?" Tsukishima asked with a bored expression which annoyed Emiko.

"I was just wondering if you would share your thoughts on the cake," she said with a forced smile.

That's it?

"Does it pain you to talk to me that much?" He asked her, a little taken back by her question.

"Very much so." She dead panned.

Yamaguchi let out a small laugh causing Tsukishima to frown a bit.

"And if I don't tell you?" Tsukishima said with a raised eyebrow while tapping at the lunch box. Emiko's eyes twitched as she gave a small smile. "I'll ban you from ever coming into my cafe ever again."

"What makes you think I'll ever want to go back?" Tsukishima replied.

Emiko placed her palms on Tsukishima's desk and leaned forward until she stood eye to eye with him. "Trust me. If you really love Strawberry Shortcake as much as Yamaguchi says you do you'll be begging for more."

To be honest, Tsukishima was slightly amused by how highly Emiko thought of her cafe. Still he was unsure wether or not he wanted to give her what he wanted.

"Fine," he said and paused for a hot to see Emiko's eyes light up in victory before continuing, "On the condition that you get me a water from the vending machines."

Emiko's eyes immediately dimmed which causes Tsukishima to let out a satisfied smirk.

"Ok but you have to wait until I get back! Then you'll tell me everything," she demanded and then reached out her hand for money. Tsukishima raised his eyebrows which prompted Emiko to say, "Aren't you going to give me the money for your drinks?"

"No?"

Emiko's eyes twitched and Yamaguchi offered enough change to cover three drink but Emiko politely declined. "No thank you, I got it." She said before sending a quick glare Tsukishima's way only for him to smirk in return.

"Whatever," she said as she walked out of the classroom.

Yamaguchi gave Tsukishima a look to which he simply responded with, "What?"

Emiko hesitantly fished out 2 dollars from her strawberry themed wallet before placing them inside the vending machine. As she was pressing the corresponding buttons for two waters she heard a loud thump against the walls. She curiously looked over the sides and saw two boys, one was red headed and the other had black hair. She watched as the two boys began arguing with each other as the smaller red headed boy walked towards a rolling volleyball.
