It had started from the elevator. When you had raised your voice at him and told him that he was a moron. Normally he wouldn't let anyone get away with embarrassing him like that, and certainly not when other people were around. And yet. And yet..

He wasn't angry at you. All he could focus on was righting that wrong. He had to boost your opinion of him. So he sent you flowers that reminded him of you. When he met you in the hallway, he brought you back to his room. He sat you down and gave you cake. He asked you, then, what you liked, if not flowers.

Strawberries was your answer. So Haruhiko picked up his fork, and took the strawberries from his own slice of cake to give to you. When your eyes widened, he paused. "...Are they not to your liking? Do you not like strawberries?" He looked down at you. His face never changed.
