No! I told you, we're already friends! [ She gestures to the road, them in the middle of nowhere and her having to drive this point into his head so they can get back on it. ] Pizza makes us friends!
[ ...Alright. With no reason to strangle him, Mafuyu rolls down the window and sticks half her head out like a dog so that her hair whips past her face and she can watch the road zip past behind them. ]
Cake too? It can be a friendship cake, not a birthday cake.
[ Prove that affection by giving her a good fight. Suplex her into the ground. Or buy extra toppings for their pizza, which is what Mafuyu would prefer, her eyes back up front and trained on the road, ready to jump up and point out where to turn to get to the pizza place, she has these roads memorized. ]
Next time we go camping, you gotta come with! We'll go bear hunting, and have sword fights with branches, and jump each other from the trees!
Whoever's free during summer break! Before, it was just me and Yaboku, sometimes the guys from school!
[ There were parents involved... somewhere... but also those who assumed their kid was just going on a nice relaxing nature walk instead of heckling the wildlife ]
—Oh, but last year I had summer school, so I couldn't play. Can you believe that? The teachers didn't teach me right [ she didn't even give them a chance ] and I'm the one who had to come in for make up exams!
[ She stares him down with a sharp look: don't he dare betray her and turn this car around back to the school instead of the promised pizza place because she will gut him like a fish with her bare hands. ]
I went the minimum number of days. I made sure of it!
I don't want to talk about homework over pizza. That sort of stuff ruins the appetite. And I do some homework! Sometimes it's just points for completion, you know? Write something down that looks like the answer.
[ She's thought this through! All this effort put into cheating the system. ]
I can do the multiple choice and matching parts of them! Bubbling in patterns and stuff!
[ No way Majima's been so long out of school he doesn't remember bubbling in zigzags on his scantrons. ]
Anyways! [ The moment the car pulls to a stop in the parking lot, Mafuyu unbuckles and swings open the door before he even kills the engine. ] It's called picking your battles!!!
[majima will drop the subject for now but he's going to do his best to be a mediocre influence on her!! for now he'll just turn off the car and follow her in.]
[ He can join the club of all the little influences that'll all together have an impact someday, have faith...
The smell of sweet tomato sauce and heavy undertones of grease hang in the air inside the fast food joint as they enter, and Mafuyu makes a beeline for the counter, ducking under the bars that redirects the line into a compact zig zag because there aren't very many people in line to begin with. Halfway through, she freezes. Looks Majima in the eye, and in her most serious tone ]
What do you think about pineapple on pizza.
[ She doesn't care about school, but this is one of those battles she will pick, I guess. ]
[she gets to look him in both eyes because he has them both. isn't that incredible? won't that be a horrifying regain next month? all these questions and more coming to a recollé near you.]
Pineapple on pizza's fucking stupid.
[he just walks around the zig zag rather than ducking under?? path of least resistance.]
