The faithful day had arrived. Despite work never ceasing in the world, it seemed like a pretty calm and relaxed day, which was perfect for U-1146. After doubts and hardships, and pep talks from Eosinophil, he decided to ask AE-3803 out on a date. Since the deal was to meet whenever both of them had a bit of free time. This appeared to be the right moment.

Using NT-4021 as messenger, U-1146 delivered the invitation to her senpai, asking them to meet in around 3 or 4 hours in the relaxing nasal cavities spring. It was the perfect place, not only for the attractions there, but the lake was close enough for him to fulfill his promise of taking AE-3803 to see it.

The neutrophil had full confidence in NT-4021's delivering abilities, so he left that task completely up to her. In the meantime, he called his best friend, Eosinophil through the radio.

"Hey, Eo. Are you free at the moment?"

"Y-Yeah? Kind of? What do you need?"

Her voice had a barely noticeable shakiness to it, not many would pick it up, but U-1146 knew her since they were kids, and knew something was up.

"Are you sure? It's okay if you're busy. I just wanted to tell you that I'll keep my side of our deal, it's happening today."

"Oh! Really? I didn't think you had the nerves to pull that off." She teased him before letting out a chuckle. "Come to the stomach, we NEED to chat. I'm currently at the lunch area with Basophil-Senp…" She let out a small squeak as she let the last part slip out.

"Oooh, that's what happening, you're trying to keep your side of the de…"

"Shut up and come meet us!" She cut the transmission out.

U-1146 made the trip to the stomach. As it was a slow day, not a lot was happening there either, so he just wandered over to the lunch area. With a smirk on his face, he noticed Eosinophil sitting in a table with Basophil. He waited for her to saw him from the distance and then gave her a sneaky thumbs up, making Eosinophil slightly lose her cool. He then went to sit with them.

"Hello, Eo. I see you aren't eating alone today." U-1146 teased her.

"Yeah, I saw Basophil-senpai eating here alone, so I decided to accompany him and you know, catch up on all these years." Eosinophil said with a calm demeanor, but her friend knew that she was on the brink of exploding from embarrassment.

"Ah, the young ones who have yet to conquer life, the circle of life keeps going and going, who are we to stop it?"

"I-I guess that's your greeting?" Neutrophil said completely confused, as always.

"Shut up and sit down." Eosinophil grabbed him by the arm and pulling him towards a chair, soon after throwing him a bowl of germ soup.

"So, about our deal…" Eosinophil said softly.

"Yeah, I asked her out a while ago and we agreed to do it in a calm day. I already asked her Kouhai to tell her to meet me in around 3 hours."

"Be careful, young soul. The world of love's as slim as a needle, titter on it too much and you'll fall to the depths of despair and burn in the fire of chaos." Basophil said as he took off his mask to sip from his bowl.

"What you're saying is that you aren't really too much into getting a partner, senpai?" U-1146 asked back. Soon after, he felt a sharp pain on his left side, due to a hard elbow from Eosinophil.

"Love's a flower, with thorns that cut your body, but if you can endure the pain, you can see its beauty."

"S-So, you're saying that you aren't closed to the possibility?" Eosinophil perked up at her senpai's last remark.

"Fate and time is a crystal statue, that I've trying to understand better, something so fragile, but so unbreakable at the same time. What waits for me next, that's unknown. May the day shine bright for you two, young ones. I shall take my leave." He said as he stood up and walked through a door nearby.

"What is wrong with you!? Asking him those things. Don't you think he would get suspicious?" Eosinophil was rage incarnate.

"Hey now, I did that for you. Now you know you have a shot with him."

"I was doing fine until you called me!"

"Oh, really? What were you talking about?" U-1446 asked curiously.

"Uhm, well…" Eosinophil's rage turned into embarrassment.

"I knew it. You probably couldn't say much, right?"

"Yeah…"

"We need to have a talk to discuss your next move, okay?"

"Okay…"

"But that'll have to wait. I need you to help me. What am I supposed to do in this date?" U-1146 looked really troubled.

"Oh, you need my help?" Eosinophil's weaknesses were soon gone and with a smirk on her face said. "You've come to the right place, my dear friend."

Afterword:
