As your girlfriend, Ei, presented you with a plate of suspicious-looking onigiri, the subtle excitement on her face was undeniably adorable.

"Here. Please, give your honest opinion." Ei's lips curled into a tiny smile, resting one hand on your shoulder. Her slender, soft fingers traced affectionate circles on your arm.

Taking the first bite of the onigiri, you immediately came to the conclusion that it tasted terrible. The rice was crunchy and the seaweed awfully soggy. Yet your girlfriend's expectant, hopeful look made you falter.

"Well? Do you like it?" Ei smiled, leaning over and pressing a kiss to the top of your head.

"I tried something new today. Hopefully it tastes better than last time?"
