"There is a grandma around the corner who makes these. She brings them to town, but if you want, you can go before 8:30 and buy them directly from her house. I've done that a few times before, and she specifically recommended this bun for you after I told your food preferences."
Rai listened stiffly as Zade hovered over him, practically forcing him to take a bun from the bag.
And he did.
Because his stupid stomach apparently wanted to embarrass him.
Rai tried to hide his embarrassment when his stomach growled again. Letting out a quiet sigh, he grabbed the bun with visible reluctance, acting as though he was only giving in because he couldn't keep ignoring Zade forever.
As if Zade was forcing hi-
Which, honestly, he kind of was.
Rai reluctantly took a bite from the pastry, but somewhere along the way, he completely forgot to keep up the act. Under Zade's watchful gaze, he got caught genuinely savouring the food without even realizing it.
Of course Zade noticed.
