[Except he made the fatal error of biting into food when she gives that explanation. Two of them combined into one. Like he's only heard that for marri--
STARTS WHEEZING AND COUGHING UP A STORM AS FOOD GOES DOWN THE WRONG PIPE]
[COUGHING AND HACKING- but he's pretty used to eating an insane amount of food at once, so he puts down the food in his hand and pounds his chest until the food comes looses. He wheezes some for air]
Shit-
I'm fine. Just went down the wrong fucking pipe.
[He'll take that soda can though. AND TRY HARD TO IGNORE HER BEING CLOSE AGAIN]
[Ayano will take the soda can into her delicate hands and raises it up to her lips, the red aluminum reflecting the cafeteria lights above as she takes a long, eager gulp of the sugary, refreshing beverage. More than one gulp, actually––a very liberal sip, really. Her scarf naturally dips down enough for Noah to see the movement in her throat––and how she's drinking way too much.
Mercifully, she'll eventually set the can down, licking and smacking her lips before transitioning into another hearty grin.]

Are you okay? Are you choking? Do you need help? [WORRIEDLY HOLDS UP THE SODA CAN.]
You should drink something!

Be more careful when you eat, please...[& lightly touches his arm to accentuate her point.]
You know, my Dad used to tell me that when you curse too much, you end up choking on your words...
Just saying...
no subject
[Don't try to stop his swearing! And he tries so hard not to react to that touch, lord]
It was the fucking food, really.
no subject
People die from choking, I don't want you to die, okay?
Plus, who else would be my partner for the charity thing? Our names fit together too well to waste that, right!
no subject
I'm not gonna die!
-- Is that why you picked me? Our names?
no subject
[Blinkblink.]
It's just an added bonus? I already told you, I thought we could both use a fun project to get our minds off stuff.
And our names fit together nicely.
And I like you.
[Grin!!]

But alas. They are in the middle of lunch. He has to wing it]
Uh.
O-Okay.
Sounds fun then.
no subject
Great! It's settled then, team Ayanoah! I knew you were kind at heart, Noah.
[Grins, taking his soda into her hand for...some reason.]
Can I sip?
no subject
[Can't let people know I'm actually nice!! Not at school!
He eyeballs the soda though...]
Just one sip.

So good, am I right?
no subject
Oy that was more than a sip!
[Taking that can back to see if there's any left!!]
no subject
Different people have different ideas of what a sip is, I suppose!
