What, don't you kids knock anymore? [ kotone grins, opening the door wider and stepping aside, gesturing for him to follow. ] C'mon! I cleared the table.
[ kotone rolls her eyes and almost considers hitting him with a minor hex—but then she sees the bowls.
curry.
fuck.
YES. ]
You better! [ she beams—genuinely—and takes one of the bowls, opening it. she heads to the kitchen to grab a couple of spoons, handing one off to him. ] There's tea ready by the stove! Cups are in the cabinet above. Help yourself. [ she's already got her cup. but more importantly... she spoons up some of the curry and rice, taking a bite. her eyes light up. ]
Oh my god—[ she starts shoveling it down. it's all very ladylike, akira. ]
[ This kind of reaction doesn't fail to make him smile, ladylike or not. Before sitting down next to her to eat, he goes to get some tea which gives Kotone more time to steal his food—I mean what. ]
If I knew you like curry so much, I'd drop by sooner. Unless you don't discriminate and love all kinds of food.
[ His hunch is telling him that this might be the case here. ]
[ she nods generally at the. entire sentiment. as she downs another spoonful. and yes, akira, some of yours is definitely gonna be gone by the time you sit down. ]
Ohhh, you have no idea— [ she laughs. ] My friends always regret treating me when we go out. Port Island didn't have a ton of places to go out, but the ramen shop was sooo good... What's your secret, Akira? There's something different about this curry, right?
[ she's made curry from scratch more than a few times before, and she can't quite put her finger on what really gets this one shining.
don't sell out sojiro. ]
... But I guess we should actually talk, right? [ they'd gone to the ramen shop for that, the day they met, but hadn't exactly ended up touching on anything as far as their similar experiences. just got caught up in hanging out. ]
[ He wouldn't be himself if he didn't tease Kotone a little: ]
Cooking for you is more cost-efficient for sure. [ He's grown to enjoy cooking a lot, especially when he's doing it for someone else. ] I don't think I should reveal my master's secret ingredient.
[ That's one way to call Sojiro, alright. Not to mention being dramatic, too. ]
I'll be grateful for all tips for a beginner leader, senpai.
[ He's putting himself down, even if he's not entirely serious. To think of it, sometimes being a leader of the Phantom Thieves feels like a fever dream, especially after they parted ways. ]

I can bring it to your place or whatever works for you.

[ He's risking getting cursed for that comment but at least he brought two big bowls of curry—one for Kotone and one for himself. ]
If that's not enough, I'll make more next time.
[ Alternatively, she can always steal his curry!! ]
god damn it
