Only half a cup's wait~ As a penalty, you'll have to share your drink with me. No free pass just because it's your birthday!
[ Ryoji laughs like it's a joke, but. It's not. The coffee here is amazing enough that he'd try to sneak a sip of hers anyways after his own cup's been emptied, and he knows Minako plans to go out later that day too so there's no sense in getting too full now. Plus, he's got something by the means of a cake for her, a small sans rival he picked up from another bakery that he slides across the table with the box still in its paper bag, finger to his lips to warn Minako not to say anything because the cafe probably has some "no outside food" policy, whoops. It's a good thing they're sitting in the back.
Another bag, though, he sets in front of her more openly. ] Happy birthday, Minako. Before you tell me I didn't need to get you anything more, I've waited years to be with you and to spoil you, so please accept this. And maybe invite me over some day to use it~
[ His real motive is revealed! The gift is a set of kintsugibowls and he would like to come over and eat her cooking please. But also, after their talk the other day, there's that deeper meaning he doesn't need to say out loud. ]
