At the Cafe
By GigiIsWeird
((Setting: Tohru and Kobayashi are eating lunch in a cafe))
"Hey Tohr-"
"Yes Miss.Kobayashi?" Tohru interrupts.
"I was just gonna ask what you're gonna get to eat.." Kobayashi asks. Tohru looks through the menu, pretending that she is actually gonna get something.
"Uh..I'll get what you're getting." Tohru blushes. Is this date? Tohru thinks nervously.
"Uhuh. I'm gonna get the pork cutlet bowl. Okay?" Kobayashi asks.
"That's fine with me!" Tohru exclaims.
"How about coffee? Have you ever had any?" Kobayashi questions.
"I have not, but i'll try it." Tohru answers. The waiter comes to their table. Kobayashi tells the waiter their order.
"Will that be it?"
"Add a strawberry milkshake to the order please." Tohru glances to Kobayashi. She's seen movies on TV that it's romantic to share a shake.
"Don't you say i-"
"And two straws please." Tohru cuts off Kobayashi and giggles.
"Dragons.." Miss. Kobayashi facepalms. The waiter smiles and walks off. Tohru feels the butterflies in her stomach. She cannot contain her excitement. This is officially gonna be a date with that milkshake! Tohru thinks happily. After 10 minutes, the waiter comes back with their food and coffee. Steam is whooshing off of the pork cutlet bowls.
"Arigatōgozaimashita." Kobayashi thanks the waiter.
"No problem." Miss. Kobayashi and Tohru say their thanks and dig in.
"This is so good!" Kobayashi states with a mouth full of food.
"Agreed!" Tohru exclaims while sipping some coffee. Kobayashi wipes her mouth.
"You've got something on your face, Tohru."
"Oh thanks for telli-" Kobayashi leans across the table and wipes Tohru's face with a napkin. Tohru's face turns all red.
"Are you okay? Your face is all red."
"Y-yes im fine, Miss. Kobayashi." Tohru is overwhelmed with happiness. A million things are going round in her head. She only wiped my mouth, that's no big deal. But she knows I love her so she might love me back by expressing it. What if she proposes going steady? Tohru thinks. The anxiety is rushing. Torru doesn't want to mess this all up. She's never felt this feeling before. The waiter comes back with dessert. Miss. Kobayashi dips her finger in the whipped cream. Torru does so too.
"Do you want the first sip, Tohru?"
"How about at the same time?"
"Okay.." This is their moment. Miss. Kobayashi and Tohru put their mouth on the straws at the same time until someone comes to their table. The person sticks their own straw into the shake and by the time Tohru looks up at the person the glass is empty. The person wipes their mouth.
"Hey guys!" Elma greets.
"ELMA YOU RUINED THE MOMENT!" Tohru shouts angrily. She's been waiting this whole day to go out to eat with her love until Elma, Tohru's sort-of-enemy, ruins it.
"What do you mean?" Elma asks confused.
"Tohru is in her own world." Miss. Kobashi rolls her eyes. Tohru gets up. Her eyes are gloomy. She paces up to Elma and pushes her into a portal to the battlefield that Tohru and Kanna had fought before. Tohru walks through the portal and closes it.
"TOHRU?!"
