A/N
This is my first fanfiction, and I do very little in the way of writing normally. I just feel that it would be a good way to spend a lot of the time I spend moping around and feeling worthless. I hope that someone enjoys this, although even if they don't, it was probably very enjoyable to write. I'm only guessing that since I haven't written it yet. Anyway, on with the story.
Disclaimer: I do not own the rights to Amagi Brilliant Park or any of its characters. This is just what I wished would have happened.
Warning: There will end up being a fair amount of Lemon throughout this story, so if you are under the age of 18, I advise you to stop reading now. Not that you're going to. I know why you clicked on this story ;)
Chapter 1 - 500,003
"Can I get everyone's attention?" Kanie said into the Megaphone so everybody could hear. The conversation immediately desisted, as everyone looked over towards the platform where he stood, awaiting his announcement. "We have today's visitor count" he continued "It turns out we had fifty-four thousand nine hundred and seventy-six people!"
Everyone broke out into a mixture of applause and cheering. People were hugging each other, crying together knowing that a miracle had happened. They had saved their park for the first time in years. After a while of watching everyone congratulate themselves as Kanie continued speaking.
"As I told everyone when I started, I am stepping down as manager from this day forward." Silence spread through the crowd in an instant as everyone processed what he had just said and hoped that they had misheard. Kanie carried on "I remember when I first came here, the state of this place horrified me. Don't get me wrong, it's still awful," Laughter. "But when it came down to it, you all did your best and made this park succeed. So, thank you."
Kanie stepped down from the platform, closely followed by Sento. Everyone else just stood there either planning on how to celebrate that park's survival or worrying about how the loss of Kanie would affect them in the coming year. Kanie and Sento walked over to the faculty building and walked through the halls to the office. Isuzu sped up her walk to catch up and tapped him on the shoulder. "Kanie" she said, trying to maintain her composure.
He turned around to look at her and saw her bloodshot eyes and wet face. "What is it?" He asked frantically, turning his body to face her and holding her shoulders. "Are you alright? What's wrong?" She stood rigid, trying to hide her sadness, apparently blissfully unaware that her face gave him all the information he needed.
"Are you really…" she began, took a deep breath, then tried again "Are you really leaving the park?"
Kanie relaxed. He understood.
"Yes. I am, " he said in a quiet tone. "I told you that I'd only stay for three months and… I have school work to focus on now. I can't spend all my time here." He looked up, to see Isuzu turn her head down to the floor. She shrugged his hands off her. He didn't resist.
'I… um' she began, in a higher pitched voice than usual, "I have to go" she said. "The princess is probably wondering where I am." And before Kanie could say anything else, she had sprinted back along the corridor.
Kanie watched her go and then turned around and entered his office, or rather, his former office. It was quite a small room, with two desks. One for him, and one for Isuzu. He only just realised how close they had become over these last months. Sitting mere feet apart for hours on end, talking with each other while eating their lunch, and working together every other hour he was there. He stared at her desk for a moment, the place where she sat and worked with him day in and day out. Only then did he realise that he'd never really looked at it before. There was an array of employee files sticking out a draw, and a few boxes of pain bringers lining one edge of the desk. But then he saw something he never noticed before.
There was a picture frame on the desk, hidden from his desk by a stack of finance records. He picked it up and looked at it, his eyes widening as he recognised it. It was a picture of her and Kanie during their first trip to Amagi brilliant park. She must have taken it from the security camera feed because the angle was too high and quality too poor to be captured any other way. It was a photo of him eating croquettes while Isuzu watched him, smiling. He never knew that she smiled at him that day since he spent almost the entire day looking away from her indignantly, so he kept looking at the picture. She looks cute when she smiles, he thought to himself.
He quickly regained composure and replaced the photo to its original position on her desk. "What am I thinking?" he said out loud to himself. He walked back over to his desk and changed out of his uniform and into his regular clothes, laying his uniform on the desk, neatly folded.
Picking up his bag, he headed to the door, before turning and taking one last long look at the room he had spent most of the last three months in. "I think I actually quite enjoyed it here, " he muttered under his breath. "I hope whoever takes my job next can say the same." Before leaving the room, closing the door behind him.
Meanwhile, Isuzu was standing at the exit to the park, trying to calm herself down. She didn't know why she was feeling like this. 'Why am I feeling sad? I shouldn't be this upset. He's just some guy, so why is this bothering me so much?' These thoughts kept circling around in her head. "It… It" she said to herself, "It must be…"
The sound of a bike coming down the road towards her interrupted her thoughts, and she went quiet. A few moments later, Kanie walked past with his bike. She looked over at his face as he passed. She realised that she may not be the best judge of emotion, but she thought he almost looked… sad?
"Sento" he said, acknowledging her as he strode past. She looked like she had something to say, so he stopped and looked over at her. "What's up?"
There was a pause of a few seconds before she replied.
"Are you leaving now?" Her face had returned to its usual militant like state.
Kanie turned his head back, looking ahead "Yep, good riddance" he said, trying to hide his disappointment. When he had control of his emotions, he took another look at Sento to see her looking down at the floor. He was about to turn back when he saw tears pouring down her chin and dripping onto the flagstone pavement. "Hey" he said softly, putting down the stand on his bike and heading over to her. "I'm sure the park will be fine without me."
"But what about me?" Isuzu said through the tears, so quietly that Kanie barely heard her say it.
"What do you…?" he began before Isuzu suddenly lifted her head, threw her arms around his neck and pulled his face close to hers 'Uh, Sento?' he said, his face turning red. "What are you…?" And then she kissed him.
Kanie couldn't believe what was happening. Sento was kissing him. Sento was actually kissing him. On the Lips. At first, he was unable to move. He just stood there shaking slightly, thinking it was a dream. Then he regained some of his senses and was almost about to reciprocate when his sense of personal pride kicked in and he pushed her away from him enough to break the kiss. She looked up at him, looking slightly hurt. He stood there, trying to regain his breath.
"What on earth was that for Sento?" he said with a voice filled with shock and embarrassment.
"Isn't it obvious?" she said, lifting his head up and looking him straight in the eyes. "I lo…" she suddenly stopped as her face turned red with embarrassment at the thought of what she was about to say. So instead, she closed her eyes, looked at the floor and shouted "I love you, Seiya Kanie!"
They both stood there for what felt like hours, not moving or saying anything to one another. Finally, Kanie broke the silence by saying "You know what Sento?"
She said nothing, only shook her head to indicate that she didn't.
"I can't say that I feel any differently." Kanie replied, trying to be as vague as he could
She raised her head at lightning speed and rushed towards him to get a good look at his face. What she saw was Kanie looking off to the side with his face turning a deep shade of crimson. Kanie glanced back to see her staring, a few inches from his face in utter shock with tears starting to form in the corners of her eyes.
"What?" he asked, still looking away.
"Nothing." She replied "I'm just happy you feel the same way, that's all."
Slowly, he turned back to face her, a look of determination on his face. He moved in, closing the very small distance he had created between them, wrapping his arms around her waist to pull her closer and kissed her. She could feel his warmth, his breath, his heart almost beating its way out of his chest. She was ecstatic.
After a while, Kanie broke the kiss turning a deeper shade of red than Sento thought possible. "Come on" he said, gesturing to his bike. "Wanna come home with me like you did the first time we met?" His face was so sincere and caring. She had never seen that look on his face before, and it just made her love him even more.
Her eyes widened and sparkled with intense happiness.
"Okay," she replied softly, walking over towards him and the bike. He got on first then she sat on the back with her arms around his waist to stop herself falling off.
"Are you going to be all right back there?"
"Oh, I'll be fine" she said, leaning into his back, holding him tightly.
"Good" Kanie said, abruptly, apparently still flustered about what was happening. And with that, they set off back to Kanie's apartment. The night was cold and dark as they rode along. Kanie kept trying to forget about the girl clinging onto him, somewhat hampered by the fact that her ample breasts were pressing hard into his back, breaking his concentration. At the same time, with her arms around Kanie's waist and her head pressed against him, she could feel the effect she was having on him. His breathing was much faster than usual, and she could hear his heart beating faster and faster and faster. It made her happy, and maybe a little aroused at the idea he was so stimulated by her.
She took her head off his back and shook it, trying to regain her senses. She didn't want to ruled by her libido, despise how liberating it felt to give into it even for a moment back when she kissed him.
She snuggled back into him and relaxed, releasing her arms slightly. There was a sudden turn in the road causing her to slide and almost fall off. She quickly raised her hands up to his torso and pulled herself back on.
"You okay Sento?" Kanie asked from the front of the bike.
Once again, she just replied by nodding her head into his back and clung to him tightly for the rest of the journey back to his apartment.
When they arrived, they both sneaked through the house, trying not to wake his aunt or his half-sister. They managed this without any problems luckily and made it to his room. Once they had entered and shut the door, they both collapsed on the bed holding onto each other as though their lives depended on it. She pressed her head firmly into his chest, and he stroked her hair, and she just wrapped her arms around him and pulled him closer, slowly intertwining her legs with his.
"This is nice" whispered Kanie, as he kissed the top of her head.
"Yeah" Isuzu whispered back, hugging him tighter if what was possible. "I wish we could stay like this forever."
"So do I" Kanie replied, as one of his hands slid down her back, pushing her lower body closer to his. "This is really great, Isuzu"
Sento could feel her entire body heating up as she heard that. She was an immense mixture of embarrassment and joy that he called her by her first name.
"I think so too… Seiya." She did it, she said his first name. It felt so intimate to be able to use another person's first name, especially with the position they were both currently in.
They both relaxed for what seemed like hours, enjoying each other's warmth when Seiya broke the silence.
"Isuzu, um…" he began, seeming unsure as to how she would react to what he was about to say.
She lifted her head up, so her face was mere millimetres away from his own. "What is it?"
"Do you want to, well maybe, I don't know…"
She tilted her head to one side, unsure where he was going with this.
"Do you want to, maybe, go out… on a date?" Kanie asked
Sento blushed. "Like boyfriend and girlfriend?" she asked as she went back to hiding her face in his chest.
"Exactly" he said into her hair. He could feel Sento shiver as he said those words and couldn't help but feel slightly thrilled himself.
"Okay," she said "Tomorrow afternoon, you can buy me lunch."
"Sure thing."
"Then I guess it's a date."
"Only this time you didn't have to use the threat of death to make me go on it with you."
"Oh… shut up."
They both slowly drifted off to sleep in one another's arms, looking forward to tomorrow.
A/N
Well, that's chapter one. I suppose it's not a terrible place to start and I definitely have room for improvement. But I think I'm happy enough with it to post.
I'm looking forward to what I'm going to end up writing in the next chapter as I'm still not sure where I'm going to take it beyond the date. Anyway, that's something to think about another time.
Any feedback is very much appreciated and thanks for reading!
