Absolutely!

Ren gave Kawakami's head a press, and she immediately sprang to life. She casually glided down into the booth and whipped Ann's phone out of her pocket.

"So like, hey Ren? Could you help me with the homework for Miss Kawakami's class? I have like, nooooo idea what I'm doing." she said in a very overblown, ditzy voice.

"Wwwwow. Miss Kawakami really does not think highly of Ann, does she?" Ren thought to himself.

"Uh... sure Ann. No problem."

Kawakami smiled and slid over to the same side as Ren, grabbing his arm and cuddling up against him.

"Awwww! Thanks Ren! You're totes the best!"

Ren's face went red. Not only was Kawakami pressed up against him - his hot teacher basically acting like a lovestruck teen, but she seemed to be under the impression that he and Ann were together.

Did it really come across that way?

In fact, this wasn't the first time people thought something like this. Ren had gotten closer to Sae ever since the Phantom Thieves escapades, and Sae seemed to be under the impression that he and Makoto were dating. Meanwhile, Sojiro kept asking if he was dating Tae Takemi from the Clinic down the street. One of the heads of Okumura Foods thought he was dating Haru, Mishima seemed convinced he was dating Futaba, after running into her once at Untouchable, Iwai seemed certain he was dating Ichiko Ohya, a lot of people near her stand thought he was dating Chihaya Mifune, Akechi kept asking if he was dating Sae, Sophia seemed hell bent on getting him hooked up with Kuon Ichinose... and that wasn't even the half of it. To be frank, it was a mess. He was glad Sumire never heard any of those rumors... or chose to ignore them if she had.

But with all that said, he was using hypnosis to take advantage of these girls and... well... he wasn't exactly against getting them all interested in him. Maybe in sharing him. But that would take a lot of work and management. That was an issue for later. A lofty goal to pursue at another time. For now...

"Heeeeey... hellooooo! Earth to Ren!" Kawakami giggled. He had really spaced out there for a second.

"Oh! Sorry uh..."

He pressed her forehead again, and Kawakami went stiff and rigid, now laying like a plank of wood in the seat. He stood her up and looked her up and down.
