[ Marui is feeling... just a little off-balance after that exchange. He went into this meeting with a distinct upper hand (or so he thought). Teshima's admission that he had zero dating experience only widened the gap he perceived despite the steady confidence Teshima has offered him-- even in the face of situations that would embarrass most. Maybe he should have seen it coming better than he did.

It's not that he minds; he's perfectly comfortable as the follower. It's just disorienting after presuming the leader position for himself for the role to so cleanly be pulled right out from under his feet. It's also hot as fuck. What a neat trick Teshima just pulled.

Marui sends him another teasing grin. ]

You say that like they're mutually exclusive. For me, it's not a movie without popcorn and candy. Burgers after sounds perfect.

And, if we still have time after that, I have a few ideas of my own for places to go.
