The problem with seducing one's best friend, he decided, was that none of the usual methods worked. If he handed Suoh flowers, Suoh figured they were for the office and went looking for a vase and put them on Nokoru's desk. He couldn't very well open doors for Suoh, because Suoh felt that was his job, as Nokoru's bodyguard.

Best not to think about the attempted candle-lit dinner. At least Akira and Utako had gotten some use from it in the end.
