He was not blushing at the words 'it's a date'. That would be silly. It was just a turn of phrase, one they used all the time in business as well, and simply meant it was a set plan. Besides, this was just a casual conversation. It meant nothing in the long run. Although his offer was sincere if it ever occurred.

Talking about baseball in general was much more simple. He nodded. "I don't doubt it. You're very friendly, Majima-san." It was meant to be a compliment. A note on his skill at conversation and companionship even. Kiryu thought Majima was quite good at it and he, for one, was entertained by their pleasantries. "Oh, I've heard of that practice. I suppose if it's all for fun there's no harm in the randomization of the team placement."

Was it getting obvious that he didn't know there was innuendo going on yet? Kiryu was still clueless about what Majima was talking about beneath the baseball talk. Still probably for the best or that blush would be much more prominent than a light dusting of pink. Which was totally just from the drinking, naturally, nothing more.
