[ He's gathered rather unwillingly into his father's arms, side of his body smooshed into that stupidly strong chest. It earns an annoyed grunt. What's even worse is the confusing and, frankly, slightly irritating scene that is playing out between them all. Here his father is, clearly trying to chat up Yor and sounding like someone completely unlike themselves. Megumi has an interesting choice to make right now. He could send the whole facade crashing down with a harsh truth, or he could play along.

While he's usually an honest person, he also doesn't like airing out his personal problems in front of uninvolved parties. Plus, it's going to make Yor said. Is his father a good partner? He doesn't know, but he certainly seemed to love his mother.

Anyway, it looks like if he says the wrong thing, the other guy is going to squish him like a stick bug, so ...

All this cordial nonsense is making him nauseous. Nobody said he couldn't act like himself. If he comes off as a bratty, moody teenager, that isn't too strange in a normal family. ] I don't want to look like him.

[ Megumi will probably hate to hear this, but the ship for that request has long since sailed. Now that she sees them both closer together, the only difference is height, build, and hair. So...everything but the face. But Yor won't dare say it aloud. Not when Megumi's already apparently sulking.

What she will do, however, is laugh. ]

You two are so cute. I'm glad you're enjoying your time here!

[ ...oh! That's right! Before she forgets... ]

I brought some cupcakes for everyone, if you'd like some.

[assassinsgreed]

_{[ Heh. Yeah. We are cute. With that, Toji releases Megumi and gives him a brief look, like, don't mess this up for me. Oh God. He knows what Yor cupcakes mean. More than likely she cooked them and they aren't store bought. ]}

I'm sure Megumi would like one. He likes sweet things

_{[ LMFAO???? DOES HE???? can't believe he's throwing his kid under the bus.. ]}

[seaurchin]

[ He does not like sweet things, but he will eat them if there's no other choice.

Making Yor sad isn't exactly a choice he can make.

Does his father even know what he likes to eat, or is he making things up? Maybe if he actually raised him, he would know what he likes to eat. Why does he think he can show up randomly and use Megumi to pick up girls? The more Megumi thinks about it, the more petty he starts to feel, and he's oh, so tempted to destroy this whole facade. Still, he doesn't want Yor to feel awkward, and he doesn't know if he really wants her to know about the problems the both of them have. There's no need to get uninvolved people involved.

Though he's been released from his father's grip, they're standing close enough that some of his body is hidden behind Toji, and he can use that opportunity to punch him hardly in the back. It won't hurt Toji at all. ]

I'll ... have them since you brought them, Yor-san.

[ Unfortunately for Toji's schemes and fortunately for Megumi's stomach, Yor is quick to gush about the cupcakes and their origin. ]

Wonderful! I found this adorable bakery nearby that makes really big ones and had to get them. [ She turns as if to go fetch theirs for them, then stops mid-turn. ] Is any flavor okay or do you have a preference? There's chocolate, vanilla, blueberry, red velvet, lemon... You can follow me and see for yourself!
