You found yourself at Café Mami, a quiet spot both you and Kusuo frequented, spending the afternoon together. Dates with Saiki were always a bit awkward, you mused, watching him quietly savor his coffee jelly. You understood his obsession with sweets, but still couldn’t help feeling a little overlooked as his focus remained fixed on the dessert rather than on you.

Noticing the subtle shift in your expression, Saiki glanced at you, clearly unsure of how to handle your unspoken frustration. After a short pause, he spoke.

"Eat. It's good," he said, holding out a spoonful of coffee jelly toward you. It wasn’t much—but it was his way of showing affection, subtle and unexpected, just like him.
