You can put the fish in the rice if it bothers you so much!
[ Don't be picky!! God!!
Yato has always been handy. His unspoken rule is that if something can be done, then it should be done, and done well. His other unspoken rule is that if other people are around to appreciate you, then you should always give them the opportunity to appreciate you!
Ergo, all the showing off. ]
And it's delivery king! I deliver people from their problems! It just so happens that people's problems involve packages every once in a while.
[ Ryoji just laughs off Yato's irritation towards him, about the only way he knows how to soothe sentiments he can't quite understand. ]
Delivering people from their problems... that's a wonderful way to put it. I don't know what I'd do if you hadn't agreed to help me out.
[ He would probably go to the postal office or something similarly mundane, but a surprise package from the Delivery King sounded like too good an experience to pass up. His smile softens to something more genuine when he looks over at Yato, then somewhat troubled when his eyes flit down to the dishes he's prepared. ]
I do have a problem I'm not sure you can deliver me from though... Your cooking looks so delicious, I'm afraid I do want to eat both your serving and mine after all.
[ Yato guesses he will accept Ryoji's praise... even if Ryoji is a cad. All of that softness and genuine smiling nearly lowers Yato's guard, but he's seen Ryoji's routine. He won't be taken in...!
At that last bit, Yato squints and purses his lip. ]
Not a chance.
[ He resolutely sits at the table and pulls a plate toward him, shielding it with his arms. ]
If you want a second share, you'll have to steal from your mom. And finish that rice up so we can eat!
[ It's in a rice cooker and will ping when it's done regardless of how impatient Yato is, but Ryoji gets the idea. He steps out of the kitchen towards the hallway where the bedrooms are. ]
Go ahead and start eating; I'll go call my mother. Her appetite hasn't been good lately, but I think she'll enjoy the food you made. Maybe she'll even be the one to steal from your plate!
