[ that's definitely not what kogami is getting at, and the patient half-smile tugging at his mouth is clue enough. the blush high on those cheeks is comely, and he picks up his chopsticks, gesturing to him briefly. ]
[ food is an easier topic to focus on than himself, and ryuu is all too happy to accept the shift in conversation. ]

[ maybe if he could tweak the recipe so that it suits that okinawan palate, it'll be much better, right? also, has he mentioned how endearing this man is when he's eating with his mouth open, completely shedding the cool and wild idol persona he usually puts on before the camera. ]

[ sifting through his stir fry, he fishes out a piece of bitter melon with his chopsticks.
if you thought you were escaping, you were dead wrong. ]
Here, try it! Maybe it's this? It seems like the hardest to replicate, doesn't it!
