"Jerry-san-! I want a late night snack..." O..OH? Jerry-san isn't here. Hm, I better get to the fridge and see what I can find. Augh, that mission done something to my stomach. It's grumbling more than usually.

I smell something good from the fridge.

"OOH... Cakes! Jerry-san's homemade cakes!" I whispered in bliss. Couldn't contain the happiness. There was a note infront of a cake.

'Allen, I left a strawberry cake for you. Enjoy.'

I love Jerry-san so much.

I can't ignore a lovely cake in my face, can I?

I took the strawberry cake and a fork from the shelf and blushed. Ah, nothing can contain the happiness of eating cakes. Curry and noodles may be good, but cakes a whole different turn of flavour. The sweetness...the cream. I love it.

"What are you doing?"

I gave a big gasp and turned around.

"Linali..!"

"Ah ah, having a midnight snack, are we?" Linali giggled.

"Uh, yes!" Uh oh, I feel a little bit of a fever coming in me.

"May I have some?" Linali asked.

"Oh... I kind of finished it a few seconds ago." Ak, I should have ate slower. I could have a fantasy of eating together with Linali.

"Oh...that's too bad."

"AHH! But, there's more in the fridge!" I waved my hands frantically.

"Is there strawberry?" Linali gladly asked. Ouch, what a way to make someone feel sorry.

"I...I'm sorry! I ate the strawberry one."

"Oh." That's not a good answer.

"I...I'm sorry..."

"It's okay. You like cake, Allen-kun?" Linali asked. I feel so bad right now.

"Uh yes! I love cake. It's a whole different dimension of flavour and cream...and the texture and the sweetness of strawberries! It's a whole differnet level of..." I found myself blabbing on and Linali just giggling. I paused, "I'm sorry. I should change the subject."

"No, I'm fine! I love cakes too. They taste so sweet..." Linali seemed like she enjoyed cakes too. Well, good we have something in common. How great. To think about it, we really have nothing in common.

First of all, our age. She's older than me. She's not a very much of a eater. She's pretty. I wouldn't call myself very manly in my petit form and height. She's very nice and protective about her friends.

She's...very sweet. Sweet as strawberry cake, and trust, it's the best thing in the world.

Wait, am I comparing Linali with food? That's not right.

Anyways. Really. I'm such a freak. With my eye and all. Even my personality. Even my past. I'm such a freak. I can't even compare myself with Linali. Really, I'm more like... uh, let me think... Miso soup! Yeah. Miso soup and cake do not go together!

"But I really wanted to eat that Strawberry cake..." Linali whined. Oh god, I feel really bad.

"I'll ask Jerry-san for a cake the next time I meet him!" I tried to cheer her up.

"Oh wait, there's some cream left on the side of your lip." Linali came closer and touched her lip to mine.

Oh god, mind overbursting.

"L-L-L-Linali?" Uh oh. I can feel my face blushing madly. Good thing it's kind of dark here.

"Thanks for the strawberry cake." Linali giggled.

Well, my fantasy is coming true.

Maybe Miso soup and cake do go together.
