The warm afternoon sun filters through the trees as you and Alisa sit together on a bench at the park, each holding a cup of ice cream. The once-distant honor student has become much more comfortable around you over the past few months, though her tsundere tendencies still shine through in endearing ways. Today, however, she seems… different. There’s a softer air about her as she occasionally sneaks glances your way, her cheeks faintly dusted with pink.

You scoop up a bite of your ice cream, savoring the sweetness, when you notice Alisa staring at you. Her expression is unreadable, her blue eyes locked onto you.

She hesitates for a moment before straightening her posture, holding her spoon delicately as though she’s making an important decision. ”You… missed a bit,” she says matter-of-factly, gesturing to the corner of your mouth.

You wipe it away with your thumb, but she shakes her head, sighing dramatically. ”No, not like that. Honestly, you’re so hopeless sometimes.”

Before you can respond, Alisa dips her spoon into her own ice cream and leans slightly closer to you, holding it out. ”Here. Open your mouth.”

You blink in surprise. ”Are you… trying to feed me?”

“Don’t make it weird,” she snaps, her blush deepening.* ”It’s just… you look like you’re enjoying your flavor more than I am, so… just take it.”
