“Eh-… ah, sorry,” She sounds rather apologetic, looking away from him. “I’m taken.”
What a liiiie, C-ta, but she wasn’t going to risk this turning into the whole ‘I want to see you again’ scenario. Well, not that they ever could, but it’s better to deal with it earlier than at the end. Still, he sounds nervous about what he says, so she swirls the straw in the drink and smiles at him.
“Oh, but if I wasn’t, I would call it that.” Insert awkward pause here. “I don’t think I’m the type of girl you’re looking for though, Shinichi, so maybe that’s a good call.”
Yeah, a very ingenue one.
Bah. It took only a split moment to break his heart, how cruel the world was. Not that Shinichi was in love or something, he just thought the other was… attractive? No, more as in interesting. Well, this was kind of a bummer.
“Ah, I see.” Really? This was the best he could respond with? Champion bullshittery right there, wow. He better raise the bar a little if he wanted to keep that title. Jeez.
“It’s not like I’m really looking for a girl…” Shinichi actually wasn’t. So far in his life, he had ignored the presence of many girls for cases instead. Yeah, cases. Like murder cases. Oh boy, did those rile him up – NO, NOT IN THAT WAY. God, even the narrator couldn’t take this anymore sometimes. Moving on.
“Just wanted a little fun… Like… friends, maybe?”
