It's "Seto-kun" now, since I feel like it. It sounds so much better than Kaiba-san. [ Read: she doesn't care if he likes it or not, this is what she's calling him, and he'd better get used to it. They haven't known each other long, but they have been in situations that neither of them asked for. They both know things about the other that most everyone else in this stupid place don't have a clue about... she feels that it's fine, at this stage, to refer to him a little more affectionately than Kaiba-san.
She doesn't miss the way he glances away, either. That does boost her confidence, even if that moment will inevitably be short lived.]
You say that, but you're the one who pointed it out. [ This is just getting better and better. She hums, arching a brow when he has to go and make an attempt at being somewhat insulting, and suddenly she realizes that she can... maybe sort of put her feelings out there a little bit. Maybe. She just has to hold onto that temporary confidence long enough to spit the words out. ]
You're going to regret saying 'don't hold back', you know. [ She's quiet for a long moment, trying to mentally pump herself up for what's coming next, and the only way she can do this is by turning her own gaze off to the side. ] If I win, you're going to take me out on a date. And it better be a nice one, too. [ There. What little confidence she'd had is draining significantly again, so she does turn away again to hide that little fact, and the way her face is steadily taking on color again. ] ...So you'd better hope beyond all hope that you win this, Seto-kun.
