[ Hikaru reaches in and picks up just one, holding it up to the light to watch it shine through and make their fingers glow warm on the other side before popping it in their mouth. They suck on the gummy rather than chewing, to savor the flavor and try to make it last as long as possible but the temptation to chew is always too great and they always end up giving in before a handful of seconds are up. ]

...They're good! They're really good! Soft, but with a nice chew to it... Fresh peaches really make it, huh?

angels..........

[mermaidcursed]

Thank you!! I'm so glad... and yes! Just wait until I get my hands on more strawberries.

( yes!!! she loves when new things go well. sitting down on the other side of his desk- it's just until she's gotta return to her own it's fine, the classmate who sits there is doing the same thing at someone else's- nene kicks her feet back and forth some. )

Then, I know the home ec room has everything still, so when would you wanna come see how it's done?

[adsum]

[ They sneak another gummy while Nene sits, nibbling at it and letting it dissolve in their mouth. Strawberry gummies sound good... And apple, and orange, and, and, and... ]

Hmm... I was gonna hang out with my friends after school today, but maybe I'll ask them to hang out some other time. Does it involve a lot to make? I've never made candy before! I didn't think you can make this sort of thing!

[mermaidcursed]

To make the mixture can take 15 minutes or a bit more- and then we have to let it set overnight.

( she will allow this sneaky gummy taking. she did choose peach specifically for them, after all! )

I mean, if your friends are interested too, I don't mind... But yeah!! I found something in one of the cupboards that made me wanna try it! Isn't it exciting?

[adsum]

What'd you find?

[ They'd pay more attention to home ec if they knew you could make candy... what the heck... Can't believe they're going to be excited coming to school tomorrow morning, but it's only to see if the gummies have set. ]

And I'm sure my friends would think it's cool too, but... I want it to be just you and me, okay? Let me learn first!

CLUTCHES CHEST...

[mermaidcursed]

Pectin! It's what helps jams and gummies keep their shape and firmness. I was really surprised...

( nene smiles brightly- hikaru's so sweet, aren't they? this is why she needed to do something kind. and she's genuinely glad to spend time with them, too. )

Oh! Okay!! Then, we can do two flavors. The best ones!

[adsum]

[ Pectin immediately makes them think of fish but they can't think of why. ]

Peach and strawberry! Can we layer them? Is that something we can do, or will it just mix together...?

[mermaidcursed]

( what, thinking about fish with nene around? can't possibly imagine why. )

I'm sure we can! We'll make two normal ones, and then try that! There's a few molds we can use.

[adsum]

Yeah!

[ Yessssss yes yes yes They kick their feet under their desk, excited for class to be over when it hasn't even started yet. Eight hours... torture. ]

...Do you think coffee would be any good as a gummy?

[mermaidcursed]

Mmm... maaaaaybe? ... This may require further experimentation.

( it's something to do. something to distract herself with. she can't keep hanako at her side crying the whole month- )

We can focus on a little at a time.

[adsum]

Then, hmm...

[ Peaches are delicious, but Nene's already proven them successful, so, ]

Maybe we can do coffee after school today? We can still do the flavor you want! But I want to try coffee, if that's okay.

[mermaidcursed]

Yeah, we can do that. I didn't know you liked coffee, though!

( bitter.... they must have mature tastes! )

[adsum]

I don't! I can't drink it without milk, but I want to make something for Lucifer-senpai!

[ He'll be so happy!!! probably!!! please Nene you gotta help make this happen ]

[mermaidcursed]

( GASP- )

You're right!! We have to!!

( THEY GOTTA MAKE A TREAT FOR DAD!!! )

[adsum]

[ Ohhh they're so glad she understands, if it's for Lucifer-senpai they gotta make it happen ]

Yup! And... maybe... do you know what sort of flavors Clamor-san likes?

[mermaidcursed]

Oh, um- he's vegan, so I think I gotta check what pectin's made out of first.

( even if he's not super strict about it, she'd rather be respectful of it all. )

... But, we can use fruits and stuff to make him something else. Okay?

[adsum]

[ Oh. They hope pectin isn't related to fish, then. ]

Hmm... okay! Then, it'll be our project! We'll try all sorts of fruit and see which he likes best!

[mermaidcursed]

Yeah!

( oh, but it looks like class is starting soon- reluctantly, nene stands back up and some of that energy's starting to leave her. )

... You can have the rest of the peach gummies. I'll see you after school?

[adsum]

[ Sighs... class... ]

Yep! Let's go together as soon as class is over!

[mermaidcursed]

Okaayyyy.... Stupid math being hard and boring and long-

( and thus... she wanders back to her desk. i'm coming for you again as soon as i find the original recipe i was referencing for nene's antics for accuracy purposes- )

[adsum]

I hope we can go over cuil theory again soon...

[ One day they'll get that lesson down... but yes, eight torturous hours of class and then! they're free!! and would believe anything Nene says about how to make gummies because in their mind the process is like making jello from powder except ??? you boil the water long enough that most it evaporates or something. ]
