Manga: Hirunaka no Ryuusei

Ship: Suzume x Mamura

-Spring Morning-

It was a clear, beautiful spring day. The sakura were blooming at full force and couples were out having picnics under the enveloping trees. Being the man, Mamura decided he needed to take Suzume out on a date. Not that this was going to be the first one or anything, otherwise he would be sweating bullets. He had everything planned out, from what to say to how to walk. Now the only thing he needed to do was to find out what hairstyle he was going to choose.

"This?" Mamura wondered aloud, parting his hair right down the middle. After trying quite the handful of styles, his hair stood up in a disheveled manner. He trudged out of his room, grumbling about how he needed this date to be perfect.

"Mamura!" a distant shout was heard from outside his window. He peered outside seeing a faint silhouette of what he thought to be Suzume. A loud ding dong was heard from downstairs making him dash down. Who would be here? None of my friends are visiting today, he wondered. He opened the door and was surprised to see a very sweaty looking Suzume.

"Did you run again?" Mamura questioned as he couldn't help but grin at his girlfriend. She nodded vigorously unable to say anything because she was too tired. After his mother welcomed her in, Suzume spoke.

"Are you going to do anything today?" Suzume asked, her face turning the slightest bit of pink. She wanted to be with Mamura since she had some free time on her hands. Mamura smiled but as he was about to speak, he got interrupted by his little brother.

"Acthually, Mamura wasth going to bring you on a dath." Pieces of french toast shot out of his mouth as Suzume tried to make sense of the gibberish. She cocked her head to the side and tapped her chin in mock thought.

"So you were supposed to bring me out on a date, huh?" Suzume shot Mamura a sneaky smirk. Honestly, teasing him was fun. She loved how his face and the tips of his ears turned bright red from embarrassment.

Mamura turned beet red and looked down at the floor. "It was supposed to be a surprise…" he murmured. Suzume patted his head, giggling at her boyfriend's silly actions.

A/N: Another one of my favorite manga ^~^ I don't think this is a one-shot though since I'm writing chp 2 soon. Sayonara! (? XD I tried...)
