Since we know Ayato handles romance like his dad, how about when he’s trying to properly ask out Hinami, he chickens out half way and asks her if she likes bread?

“Hey, Hinami…” Ayato clears his throat. He leans across the counter of :Re. 

“Hi, Ayato!” Hinami waves. “I was just telling Touka about my idea to open up a house for all the Dragon Orphans.”

“Uh – a house? like an orphanage?” Ayato blinks in surprise.

“Yeah. I mean, we all know what it’s like to be alone…so I want these kids to feel that as little as possible.” Hinami swings her legs back and forth. “What do you think?”

“I think it’s a great idea,” he squeaks. Touka smirks at him from behind Hinami.

How dare you. He wants to strangle his pregnant sister. How dare she encourage him to ask Hinami out when she knew Hinami was gonna come in with the next Mother Teresa plan? Now he just feel dumb.

“Eh…Hinami.” He licks his lips.

“Yes?” Hinami straightens.

“Do you – do you -”

Touka makes a rolling gesture with her hands.

“Do you like bread?”

In the corner of the coffeeshop, Saiko the Quinx spits her coffee all over that prim investigator Ui.
