Writing Prompt from 64 Damn Prompts - 2am
This was utterly ridiculous and not to mention stupid.
But here Megumi was, still awake at 2am despite that horrible and large-percentage-of-her-marks exam that was going to happen tomorrow or rather today.
'The racoon-girl better appreciate this.' She thought darkly to herself as she sipped some more of her coffee and went over some notes for some assignments while she waited for Kaoru to return.
The door suddenly clicked and Megumi's head shot up before she quickly made her way to the front door to greet Kaoru who was finally home.
'But usually when a date for Kaoru goes this long…' Megumi realised slowly as she drew closer to the door, 'It means something's gone wrong and she's taken her time to get home so she doesn't cry in front of me...'
A quick calculation and Megumi froze three quarters of the way to the door to realise that if a bad date for Kaoru ended around 11pm.. This was seriously bad.
'Damn it, should have brought some of the left-over cake!' She hissed at herself and began to move back to the kitchen when Kaoru drifted in from the other side of the room causing Megumi to freeze up before finally noticing that Kaoru was looking quite dazed and away with the fairies.
Kaoru on the other hand simply sat down at the couch with not a word of greeting to Megumi and began to smile in a peaceful serene manner while still looking like she was away with the fairies.
'Whatever this is, it certainly requires left-over cake to deal with.' Megumi thought sternly to herself and turned to make her way back to the kitchen.
She returned shortly lately to find Kaoru in the same spot and ended up sitting on the lounge chair placing the second plate of left-over cake in front of Kaoru on the table.
'And racoon-senses strike again.' She smiled smugly as Kaoru's nose twitched before finally leaning forward for the plate before shooting Megumi a grateful look. Megumi simply nodded with a smile still on her face before giving Kaoru 'the look'.
"After taking me to the fanciest restaurant in town," Kaoru began steadily, "He disappeared near dessert to go to the toilet.. It was only until the bill for five hundred dollars came that I realised what had happened.." which caused Megumi nearly choked on her piece of cake before realising that Kaoru wasn't done.
"The waiter didn't believe me, people were staring but then this man with brown spiky hair appears saying that I'm telling he truth and that a guy named Kenshin was taking care of the jerk outback."
Megumi smiled slightly in relief and settled back in the chair feeling relieved that Kaoru had some good luck.
"As he says this, there's a shout from the kitchen and the jerk tumbles out from the kitchen looking like he's been through hell. I'm about to blow up when suddenly the jerk's screaming that I'm just a needy freak of nature to this red haired man who stalks through the kitchen doors after him."
Kaoru, at this point begins to blush and seems to daze off which makes Megumi sigh before snapping her fingers in front of Kaoru's face making the girl blink startled before smiling sheepishly at her.
"And then?" Megumi prodded with a sly smile.
"This red haired man literally growls before saying, 'Your eyes need to be checked. I only see a beautiful girl that I'd give my best kitchen knives to date.'"
Kaoru had mumbled it out but it was still with hearing range. Megumi's eyes bulged and she was grinning ear from ear, "And then?! And then?! Spill more details, racoon girl!" She hissed out and Kaoru turned bright red causing Megumi to get a very bad feeling.
"Kaoru. Please do not tell me that you simply went on your merry way after a man literally acted as your knight in shining armour." Megumi slowly gritted out and then at no response from Kaoru, sighed in disbelief before moving to grab the two plates. If she recruited Misao and some of the other girls for the cause, perhaps they could find this man and convince him that-
"..Actually… I wrote down my name and number then gave it to him."
Megumi froze in the midst of grabbing the two places and looked up at Kaoru who was smiling dazedly before holding out her phone to Megumi while saying, "And I got this text message thirty minutes after leaving the restaurant…I responded instantly despite that 5 minute rule you keep going on about…"
Frankly Megumi couldn't care because on Kaoru's phone was something that made the inner romantic girl in her squeal in glee and think perhaps there was some hope for the male species afterall.
'Are you free tomorrow, Miss Kaoru? :) '
