"You scared her," Mori said as he hefted his short companion to his shoulders before striding through the greenhouse. Hunny twisted around on his perch and waved wildly to Haruhi, who was trailing behind them and looking a bit dazed.
"I couldn't help it," the blond said cheerfully. "She just looked so tasty."
"Was she?" Mori asked dutifully.
"Oh, yes! Very!"
"Tastier than cake?"
"Hmmm...." Hunny thought seriously upon this question for a moment, before answering, "Tastier than vanilla cake. But not chocolate cake." He nodded with certainty, and Mori's grip on Hunny's legs tightened.
"....Tastier than me?" Mori asked with a hit of hardness in his voice, but Hunny seemed not to even notice Mori's darker tone.
"Of course she's not tastier than you!" Hunny laughed, ruffling Mori's hair and squeezing his legs against the taller boy's shoulders affectionately, feeling the sudden tension flow out of them as quickly as it had come.
"But she's not less tasty than you, either," the blond teased with a grin.
Mori paused mid-step, and was silent for a moment before asking, "I'm not as tasty as chocolate cake?" It was not the question that he had wanted to ask.
"Silly! Nothing is as tasty as chocolate cake! You know better than that!"
By this time, Haruhi had caught up to the two boys. She looked up at their faces briefly before flinching and glancing away, wondering whether to be more worried about Hunny's suggestive wink, or the sudden coldness in Mori's gaze.
