Semi-Pixilated Fantasy
Matt/Mail Jeevas
Level 1- .Tokyo.
.a meeting is a thing of chance- maybe destiny if you get lucky.
BANG! THUMP! BANG! THUMP!
"Today is so boring!" BANG! THUMP!-
"Sakura, I'm sure hitting your head against that table isn't healthy..."
"She's right though. Our day off and we have nothing to do."
"Hey, lets boy-watch!"
All heads turned to the blonde female.
"Yunari, are you crazy? We haven't done that since high school! And that was... what, 10th grade. You're insane." Hana shook her head at the idea. Sakura lifted her own head, and laughed a little.
"Actually," She started, a grin forming on her face. "That's not too bad. It'll pass time while we wait for our food. What do you think, Kiyoko?"
Kiyoko leaned back in her chair, twirling locks of her light brown hair. The outside eating area of the restaurant, located on the sidewalk, wasn't overly crowded today, and they would have a good shot of observing any attractive male that passed them by.
"Whatever. I guess it'll pass the time." Yunari cheered. "Awesome! Let's start now!"
The girls leaned closer to avoid the ears of other customers sitting close by. Sakura started the game,
"Okay what about that guy right there?" She pointed to a tall man, maybe about 5'9. "I dunno, he's kinda average looking. It's nothing that would catch my attention." Hana stated, shrugging her shoulders. "I agree. If I saw him at a party, I probably wouldn't be impressed..."
"Okay, him?" Hana asked. "He's pretty cute... not excessively sexy, but it's a start, huh?" Kiyoko spoke. Sakura responded, "Nah, I think he's hot... I like his shirt." Yunari laughed at this, "You have to be kidding. It looks like a flamingo on crack..."
"Woah. Who the hell is that?" Kiyoko pointed to another guy. "What the hell is he wearing? That looks so cool. It's all fluffy in places." Yunari commented. "He's cute..." Hana pointed out. Kiyoko gaped at her. "Cute? What the hell? He's sexy," As an afterthought, she added, "Nice legs, too. And look at those goggles and that shirt. That's funky."
"Oh my gosh, Kiyoko actually noticed someone! Call him over!" Sakura whispered her excited voice and large grin showing her surprise. Kiyoko was very picky with guys.
"What? Are you crazy?! I'm not doing that!" Kiyoko gave her friend an are-you-crazy look, her hazel eyes widening slightly. Hana and Yunari gave silent cheers, trying to encourage their friend to flag over the unique male.
Finally giving in, Kiyoko gave a long low whistle, eyes staring at her targets goggled face.
The man gave a sudden stop at the sound, looking over to the group of females through the locks of red hair surrounding his eyes. While the other three began to laugh, Kiyoko raised a finger, making a curling motion and signaling for him to come over.
The male walked over without a second thought, a look of nonchalance on his fair-skinned face. "Hey," Kiyoko spoke, her voice impressed. "Funky style you got there."
The man gave her a look, and smirked. "You don't like the way I dress?" The girls laughed. "If I didn't like it, you wouldn't be over here. What's your name?"
"Matt." The reply was lazy. Kiyoko laughed, and extended a hand. "Nice to meet you, Matt. My name is Kiyoko."
Matt took her hand, shaking it for a second, then letting go. Sakura spoke up at this point. "You know, Kiyoko hasn't noticed a guy in ages. We were starting to think she gave up."
Matt had apparently raised an eyebrow, or at least, the girls assumed so by the way his face moved. "Really now?" He questioned, giving Kiyoko a look. Hana and Yunari giggled at his expression, whispering low comments to their flirting friend, so low, that Kiyoko could barely hear them herself.
"So," She started again, ignoring her excited friends. "Are you up for grabs, or are you thinking of an affair?" Kiyoko did not want to go out with a guy who was cheating on his lover. She wasn't the kind of person to get involved in that crap.
"I'm single." Matt gave the simple reply, shoving his hands in his pockets. Kiyoko's friends squealed at the action, but Kiyoko herself ignored it, focusing on Matt's orange tinted eyes. "Well then I guess a phone number would polite."
She looked down to Matt's lips, and noticed how they formed a small smirk. Not a triumphant one- more of an amused look. "I think it would be." He shrugged. Kiyoko nodded, and was supplied with paper and a pen that had been prepared by Yunari, who was getting a little red-faced from all the laughing.
Kiyoko scribbled down the number, and handed Matt the paper.
"Here. Let's go out sometime." She smirked as Matt's fingers closed around the paper. The male nodded, pocketing the phone number. "I'll call you when I find out when I can out." He replied, his eyes scanning Kiyoko's face.
"Alright then." At about this time, the girls' food was delivered to the table. Kiyoko didn't look down at her plate. Not yet. "We'll chat sometime."
"Yeah." Matt agreed, and turned to let the females eat in peace. "I'll see you around then."
Kiyoko nodded. "Okay. Later," She added next, for her on amusement. "Hey!"
Matt turned around. "Nice legs." She gave him a small smirk, as her friends laughed and clapped. Matt gave an amused snort, and made a face that showed Kiyoko that he was trying not to laugh. He turned again to walk away, and said,
"Thanks. Nice boobs."
He heard the four girls laugh at his comment as he walked down the street and turned the corner.
"That went well." Hana said, sip of her drink. "Yeah! That one's a keeper! He's so handsome!" Yunari exclaimed, and Sakura fanned her face to emphasize. "Yeah," Kiyoko nodded. "Handsome... and unique."

Twenty minutes later, Matt opened the door to the hotel room, being sure to close it quietly behind him. He walked over to a side table, and grabbed his PSP off of the surface, sitting down on the nearby couch.
He heard a door close. "Where were you, Matt?" Said male didn't look up from his game. "Sorry, Mello. I was talking to this girl. I got a date." Mello snorted. "Sure you did. Who the hell would wanna go out with you?"
Matt paused his game and reached in his pocket for his cell phone. "No, seriously. She just called me over and said she liked my outfit, then offered her phone number... Here, watch,"
He took the slip of paper out of his pocket and started to dial the number. "Hmm, she has an American number. Convenient..." He put the cell on speakerphone.
--
As the girls stood to leave, Kiyoko felt her pocket vibrating, and heard the tune of The Prodigy's Spitfire playing faintly. She looked at the screen on the phone for a moment, noticing the unfamiliar number. She flipped open the cell, putting her ear to the speaker.
"Hello?"
"Kiyoko, it's me, Matt."
--
"Oh, hey. What's up?"
Matt gave Mello an I-told-you-so look. The blond just shrugged.
"I was able to find out a time we could go out." Matt replied, letting the cell phone rest on his shoulder, and resuming his game.
"Oh, okay, that's cool." Kiyoko replied. "Shoot."
Matt looked to Mello for a day when he'd be free to roam Tokyo. "Friday." The blond picked a day from the top of his head.
"Friday," Matt repeated. "This Friday evening, around... 7?"
"Yeah, that's good with me. You'll need my address. Get a pen and paper."
Matt paused his game, and grabbed the supplies that hotels never seemed to run out of.
"Okay." He said, pen cap off and writing utensil positioned in front of the table.
"Right. Okay, well write this down. 8-3 Marunouchi 2-chome..."
He copied the first words. "Okay."
"Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo 100-9382." When he finished, she spoke again. "Okay, well, see you in a couple of days."
"Later." He replied, and hung up, shoving the phone in his pocket. He resumed his game.
"I thought you didn't like going out." Mello inquired. "I don't, but I figure she's interesting enough to cut into some of my time. She did ask me out, after all. It's something new, and if I don't like her, oh well..."
--
"You have a date after so long! I'm so happy for you, Kiyoko!" Sakura hugged her friend as they walked down the street.
"Yeah, I hope he can find my house though... I'm pretty sure Americans study this stuff before they come to Japan, though..." Kiyoko stated, her voice betraying that she wasn't concerned with whether or not Matt could find her house.
Two days. It wasn't so long. And she would be out of the office by 2 PM. And after attending to her... other errands, she would have more than enough time to get ready.
