( single-minded dedication … that was kind of how he'd been expected to act in the program, but he can't quite say he's ever been dedicated to anything, it's a weird fucking feeling, and even if he doesn't know it yet this place is about to turn that entire mindset on its head and land him squarely on his ass for how thoroughly it's going to knock his perception for a loop.

but that's getting in a bit too deep, isn't it? we'll save that for later.

anyway. the executive assistant vibes aren't terrible. clearly he's going to have to get used to his mannerisms if he's going to find himself sharing kakashi's company more going forward. he's had to get used to stranger things, he thinks … this should be a walk in the park.

the back of cain's neck gets suspiciously warm at the mention of the older man being fond of him, among other things. ) Yeah, well … I'm kinda fond of him, too. ( he never thought he would use a word like fond, but here he is, ain't this some un-fucking-charted territory. )

Guess it wouldn't kill me to ask if he's busy first. ( consideration! what a concept. ) I don't wanna … put anybody out or anythin'. ( who in the fuck are you.

did somebody fuck a screw loose. you're being nice, and it's weird. )

I'm glad to hear it, [ haku replies, smile a little... sharp right around the edges, but still genuine. ] I might have to take issue if you were not at least a little fond of him in return.

[ haku taking issue usually involves a fair amount of carnage. ]

Well. I will let you get back to your day. Please accept my apologies for intruding.

[ stepping back, haku offers cain a little half bow. ]

Do come find me if the clothes don't fit, and I hope the meal is to your liking.

[ the meal is one of those stupidly cute bento. ]

( he's seen smiles like that before, both in people that didn't really mean them and in those that did but still had some reservations, and considering how he talks about the other man … he's going to take it as the latter in this case, so he's just going to tread carefully going forward.

( which is not exactly his style, not something he's known for, but progress is what it is, right? right. )

he waves a hand dismissively, but what comes out of his mouth next is something he means with more in him than he realizes. ) More than a little, if I think about it too hard. ( what can he say, kakashi made an impression. that's all he's going to say about it because the rest of it requires processing things like fucking emotions, and he's still working through a bunch of those with toji. so. )

You're not intrudin'. ( he says offhand, because really, what is he even doing? chilling on a random bench in the middle of the day like some hobo about to ask if you wanna buy some drugs?

but. he peeks inside the bento just to see what the other has prepared for him and he just. kind of stares for a second, because since when is food allowed to be fucking cute? shouldn't this be illegal? )

Looks really good. ( he says absently, maybe a little bit awkwardly, because he's not used to someone preparing food for him. he's a bit of a lost cause, haku, forgive him. ) You really didn't have to go to all this trouble. ( because it looks like he did?

and that is one more thing he doesn't know how to deal with but. he'll learn. ) D'you wanna … share? M'kinda hungry.

[misused]

If you're hungry, you should have all of it, [ haku replies, hiding a quiet laugh behind his hand because cain's awkwardness is... charming? ]

And it's no trouble. I frankly don't know what to do with myself if I'm not looking after someone.

[ leaning over cain a bit, haku plucks the handkerchief-wrapped fork out from the side of the bento and presses it into cain's hands. ]

I need to go do the shopping now, but perhaps if you're not doing anything else tonight Kakashi-san and I could expect you over for dinner?
