[ as soon as he can, as promised, shinji goes to the temple and loiters by the entrance. she says not to worry about it, but he still feels uneasy, wondering what she would want to talk about. he hasn't done something wrong, has he... ]
Anyway! Yes. I actually have a present for you, too.
[ he's making her nervous now. to be fair, she isn't sure how well this is going to go. moving her hands from her back with a box in hand, she holds it out for him. ] I don't know how good it is, but I tried.
... You say that like there's another idiot like you.
[ who would like someone like him to begin with...
shinji doesn't know if he should feel happy or troubled. it's both. there's that weird butterfly feeling in his stomach, and somewhere in between is the reminder that he did kiss someone else, and makes it feel like he's cheating on her somehow. ]
Cruel like always,[ she lets out a laugh and scratches her cheek.
it isn't like minako is actually offended because she knows that maybe this is silly, but, she isn't going to deny herself from simple pleasures. she has to live like a teenage girl at some point after all. here feels like the best place to start. ]
[ this is the point where he's supposed to taste it, right. shinji opens the box to peer at the contents, picking up a dainty truffle and popping it in his mouth.
it's a minute later until he gives a response, nodding slowly. ]

there's a small smile on her face and a skip in her step as she approaches shinjiro, her hands behind her back as she does so. ]
I'm glad you came. ... Thank you for that.
no subject
Don't thank me for that.
[ it just makes him... even more nervous somehow? shinji makes sure it doesn't show on his face though. ]
We gonna talk here?

[ for... what occasion. shinji takes the box anyway with a curious glance, then back at her face. ]
What for? It ain't my birthday.
no subject
[ she sounds almost proud of that.]
It's for Valentine's Day! It's a little early for that, I'm aware, but I figured I could beat any other girl to the punch this way.

It tastes good. You did a good job with it.

Maybe I can try cooking other sweets for you in the future.
