This story is one of my extensions to the Watashi ni XX Shinasai manga. Please note that I don't own the manga or characters, but just this story!
I hope you enjoy!
The request shocked Shigure, as he recalled the failure of the last date.
She just wanted food at that time because she was hungry...
The story of Yupina and the count had continued to progress until Christmas, where Yukina realised her fans were emailing her asking her for more romance between the two characters.
I guess another date it is, then... if that first one ever counted.
She didn't really get the idea of a date. Maybe it was just her putting it into some perception, or maybe it was because she wasn't really in love with Shigure... that much... to see what dates were like to typical girls like her readers and fans.
She couldn't help but hear the girls in her class talk about her story – saying that it needed more intensity, the count needed to be more aggressive in trying to take Yupina for himself; and the knight also needed to be more aggressive – there was so much going through her mind she actually had to put pen to paper and write a list of what she heard from her classmates – it was that much.
She would have to ask Shigure, mainly because Akira came over to her house quite often, and made note to ask him as soon as possible.
"You... what?"
He heard her sigh, and say it again.
"Your next mission... is to take me on a Christmas date."
He felt like rolling his eyes. Here was this weird girl who kept asking him to do all sorts, most of which he had never really done before.
"Why does it -"
"Or are you taking Mami out for a Christmas date. After all, you two are so huggy and all nice and sweet to each other."
Shigure mentally winced from her words. There was nothing between Mami and him, after all, they were childhood friends just like Akira and Yukina.
"Although, if you don't want to, I can just ask Ak-"
"Don't say his name."
He could feel his expression getting angry as she once again used that against him.
After all, cousins shouldn't fall in love with each other like that... just like childhood friends should stay childhood friends, right?
"Fine. Christmas Eve, at 5."
She smiled a bit, and he realised just how much he had gotten used to all these 'missions', and how much he was secretly wanting these missions to get his mind off being who he normally is.
I can't believe I'm thinking like this.
Akira had come over this afternoon and both of them were in Yukina's room. She had already discussed the whole 'Christmas date' thing with him, and he agreed... for the day before Christmas Eve.
She breathed a minor sigh of relief as she realised Akira and Shigure didn't have to know that she was going out on a Christmas date with both of them.
But I need both dates for my story... so that it can still stay as number 1...
"Yukina, are you going out with him on a Christmas date?"
Akira pressed the question to his cousin.
I don't want to ask the question, and at the same time I do... I'm scared for the answer, but I already asked the question...
"Him? Oh, Shigure? He said something about being busy with Mami."
Yukina had realised that she had to lie to both Akira and Shigure when they asked about the other.
I've never seen two guys get so antsy when the other's name gets tossed about... I guess it goes in my advantage somewhat, but still... it's reference material, after all.
She smiled at her cousin, knowing that she needed to keep her cool in order to get the reference material she needed to write the story.
Akira couldn't help a small smile when he heard that Kitami-kun was busy.
You can't keep getting Yukina for yourself. You don't deserve her.
He looked over at the calendar in her room, and noted that it was the 20th of December.
Three days to go, Akira. You need to think of some good places that are date-worthy.
Soon enough, it was dinner time, and then he bid goodnight to her family and her, heading home to his place.
Shigure was grumpy after his run-in with Mami, who had asked him to accompany her shopping on Christmas Eve. He had somehow got out of it by saying that he had already promised to hang out with some friends.
I don't really know why she's so insistent on me... at the very least it would be nice if she made other friends...
He put on a happy expression and set towards school.
As soon as Yukina stepped into school, out of nowhere popped Mami.
She's really annoying...
"Himuro-san... ohayo!"
Yukina continues to walk into school, completely ignoring Mami.
"Himuro-san... if you want to know a secret about Shigure, don't go out with him on Christmas Eve..."
