We enter classroom 2-C, in between classes. We see Harima sitting at his desk, whilst Tenma chatters with her girlfriends. While Tenma treats the day as any other, Harima is carefully planning and devising situations, about how to finally confess his true feelings to her. But he has a look of uncertainty upon his face, as he begins sweating over the possible outcomes. Plotting how to ask as subtly as possible to disguise his intentions and to keep from getting rejected in front of the entirety of the class.
The final bell rings as students begin filing out of the classroom.
'Now's my chance.' Harima thinks to himself.
"Hey Tenma" Harima barks out louder than expected. He begins to frightfully shake and sweat uncontrollably.
"Hey Harima!" shouts Tenma, oblivious to Harima's sweating and nervous shaking, "What's up?"
Harima takes a deep breath while Tenma watches him confused, "Oh nothin' just packin' up my stuff and headin' on home." he says with a joyus skip. His face suddenly turns beet red 'What are you some kind of country bumpkin!' he says to himself. "Actually I was wondering if you wouldn't mind going out to dinner with me, I'll pay." he says dopily.
Tenma takes a moment to ponder. "Okay!", she says "But I get to choose the place, and you're picking me up." trying to get the most out of her free dinner. "See you at my place at seven! Bye Harima~!" she says playfully while leaving the classroom.
Still in awe over his proposal being accepted, Harima stands next to Tenma's desk unmoved from when he asked. "Uh yeah see you at seven." he says, as Tenma had long left.
'Holy shit!' he thinks to himself, 'I can't believe I'm going out with Tenma!'. Harima went home still in utter disbelief, sporting a big stupid grin, and imagining himself marrying Tenma, they're children, and growing old together.
Time marches on as the clock hits seven and Harima is dutifully waiting outside of the Tsukamoto residence. Dressed in his best black leather jacket, slack pants, and polished black leather shoes. He approaches and knocks on the door.
"Oh hello Kenji." silently responds Yakumo as she opens the door wide for Harima. "Please come in. Tenma will be out in a moment."
"Okay thanks Tenma's younger sister." he says bowing to her.
Yakumo smiles gently "Is there anything I can get for you while you wait?"
"No thanks. But if you have sometime later, could you ink these next pages for the manga?" he asks politely.
"Sure no probl-." Yakumo tries to finish but Harima's attention is now focused on the prim and proper Tenma as she emerges from the back.
Wearing a long, aqua blue silk dress, with red 2" high heels. "Oh Harima take your princess away and treat her as if she was the finest in all the land!" says Tenma trying to sound as royal and snarky as she can muster.
Harima bows down to her as gentlemanly as possible. "Yes Madame!" he says awkwardly, completely buying into her orders.
"Hehehe." Tenma giggles, "Later Yakumo I'll be home tonight!"
"Okay, bye Tenma." she responds as she walks them out of the door. 'Oh Harima.' Yakumo thinks to herself with a worried for him.
