"true, but i just like to think it's me."

foolishly confident as usual, he throws a wink in for good measure before vacuuming up the rest of his chili.

soon, the empty pack is crumpled and deposited back into his backpack. he pulls out two napkins and hands one over to her, using the other to wipe his lips after.

"lemme know if you can't finish yours."

”Sometimes I think you have too much of an ego.”
[break][break]
Only sometimes, like when he does stupid things like wink and say what he just said. Other times, she could go as far as worrying about hurting his feelings, and she even has done as much, but that may also be because Sol has been made all too aware of how easily she can hurt people.
[break][break]
And she also worries because she cares, but naturally, she chooses to ignore that obvious fact.
[break][break]
With a sigh and a chuckle, she takes the offered napkin before going back to her meal.
[break][break]
”Are you really still hungry?”
[break][break]
Sol has never been one to have a small appetite, but she definitely couldn’t even finish all of this.

uri doesn't have an ego, really, he just doesn't care all too much what people think of him. that allows him to be unabashed with the way he is and with the things he say, as they've both come to learn, but with sol, he's more aware of his actions than usual.

it's because he actually cares about what she thinks of him.

"...yeah."

he sighs, reaching into his backpack for another can of charja-cola.

"i eat a lot in general, i think. i'm surprised you haven't noticed."

”I have noticed.”
[break][break]
Of course she has, because so many of their meetings seem to have revolved around food in one way or another. Hot dogs, breakfast when hungover, tacos, now rations...
[break][break]
Foodwise, this is probably the worst one, and yet she still finds herself enjoying eating with him.
[break][break]
Or, well, next to him, since he already finished his meal.
[break][break]
”Here.” With a sigh, she offers him the pack, about half of it having been left untouched. She meets his gaze, and smirks when she does. ”Don’t starve.”

this is definitely the worse one foodwise, but he still finds himself easily enjoying it and the moment with her. it's actually really nice and peaceful on this quiet morning on the beach.

he smiles when she offers him what's left of her food, reaching for it without hesitation.

"you're so sweet."

chuckling, he bumps his shoulder against hers, then starts eating the gross beef with ketchup.

Is she sweet?
[break][break]
Usually, people would never use such a word to describe her, but it’s not the first time Uri has done something like that. It goes against everything everyone else thinks of her, and the reasons why are obvious enough by now:
[break][break]
”I’m not, you’re just biased.”
[break][break]
Because he has feelings for her, right?
[break][break]
Because he likes her.
[break][break]
It bothers her much less than what it did before, but there’s still all those worries that come.Yet, it’s not like she can stop him from feeling the way he feels, right? Not when she has already tried.
[break][break]
How does Sol feel, though?
[break][break]
Honestly, she doesn't know the answer to that.

"i am pretty biased, but that doesn't mean what i said isn't true."

he shrugs, scooping more beef into his mouth.

after a moment, he continues:

"you care about me and i think that's pretty sweet."

not everyone does.

Honestly, it makes her blush, blood rushing to her cheeks and painting them in soft shades of pink.
[break][break]
So, Sol being Sol, she faces away from him, turning her attention to her backpack and looking through it while Hati watches them from nearby. By now, the Lycanroc is back to comfortably lying down.
[break][break]
”I don’t know what’s sweet about caring about you.”
[break][break]
Why does he have to say it like that?
[break][break]
Usually, Sol wouldn’t give a damn about what people think of her, and yet why does this make her blush?
[break][break]
Even if mildly so, her own reaction annoys her, because it’s not something she’s used to.

even when he's distracted by shoveling food into his mouth, he still notices how she looks away. he looks at her when she does, barely noticing the soft shades of pink.

there's still something she refuses to admit. or perhaps she doesn't realize it in the first place. either way, he decides to prod, searching for an answer he's longed to hear.

"why do you care about me, sol?"

’Why do you care about me, Sol?’
[break][break]
Once again, he’s pushing her.
[break][break]
Why does he always have to push?
[break][break]
Does he really think something good will come out of doing so?
[break][break]
”Do you think I shouldn’t care about you?”
[break][break]
It’s easier to respond to his question with one of her own. To deflect, even if she knows it’s a cheap trick and that Uri probably deserves better than that response.
[break][break]
”I care because I want to care.”
[break][break]
That’s also not completely true.

her question is complicated as is and his answer would only further complicate it, and so he decides not to answer it, assuming it to be rhetorical.

it seems nothing can come from him pushing. he decides to drop it, nodding as he finishes the rest of his beef.

"okay."

One word is all she gets, and maybe one word is all she should expect. Sol herself has always been all too fond of dry and cold one word answers, so why would she ever expect anything more from someone else?
[break][break]
Actually, the mere fact that she expects things from him is worrying all by itself…
[break][break]
”Okay.”
[break][break]
Why does she feel annoyed? Is it because he pushed her.
[break][break]
One step forward, two steps back.
[break][break]
With a sigh, Sol stands, smoothing down her clothes and fixing up her ponytail before beginning to clean up.
[break][break]
It’s about time they head back.

this feels awkward and awful and he hates it. a bitter taste lingers in his mouth and it's definitely not from the shitty food he just devoured, though that certainly doesn't help.

so, with a sigh, he stands up after her, helping clean up as well.

"i'm sorry for pushing."

his voice is soft, gentle.

"i said i'd be patient and i wasn't."

’I said I'd be patient and I wasn't.’
[break][break]
That’s not right, is it? It just sounds like he’s waiting for something to happen because he thinks he knows it eventually will. But, what if it doesn’t? What if she disappoints him? What if he leaves because he gets tired of waiting?
[break][break]
All these questions flood Sol’s mind as she continues to clean up – ever calm and methodical despite the tumultuous feelings inside.
[break][break]
”I don’t know what you want me to say, Uri.”
[break][break]
Why can’t he just enjoy things as they are?
[break][break]
Why does he have to push her?
