"Huh!? We aren't even dating, that makes no sense." Steve replied, suddenly doubting his newfound Sensei's abilities.
"Also, even if we were dating, do you ever see me with women?" He continued, looking left and right as if to check if there were any around.
Ken stifled a laugh, finding his friend's plight rather amusing. "Well, aren't you close to a few girls at our school?"
Steve's expression morphed, "Well, I wouldn't say close. Stacey always asks if I want to borrow her notes or study together, but that's about it."
Now it was Ken's turn to be shocked. Even he who was absolutely clueless when it came to women, knew that this was a sign of something more.
"And has she seen you with this… Stacey?" Ken asked, trying to not sound accusatory.
"Well I mean, yeah. Of course she would have." Steve's innocent expression looked very punchable in that moment, yet Ken reeled himself in.
