[Minaho had only intended the 'we' in the general sense, as in 'my date and I', but Manabe just immediately made this a little more awkward. And it shows in the way his little hair wings spring up like bamboo shoots. It's not that Minaho was completely stupid to his own feelings. Sure, he enjoyed spending time with Manabe whenever he could, and one could argue that their outings could be seen as a date if you squint...but Minaho had pretty much deduced that friendship was sometimes the end goal.
He was lucky he got that.]
W-Well what I meant was...[Please give him a moment to clear his throat, collect himself.] My apologies Manabe-kun, I didn't mean to insinuate that you'd go on a date with me.
[But his smile returns, albeit shakily.] Just...you know, if I -had- one.
