SM: A series of One-shots for Ren yaoi. I don't own Shaman King. If you don't like a couple then don't be put of I will do any Ren yaoi couple, request and I will write a one-shot for it, but please on gross ones like Marco orSilvait might kill me to write one.

Name: First date.

Couple: HoroRen.

Ren's house

How did I get myself into this? Ren asked himself for the fifth time that day. He stepped out of the shower slowly. He let his long purple hair fall around his face. Why did I agree to that baka's idea?

Ren thought over the previous day as he got ready for the night out.

Flashback+

"Ren!" Horo shouted. He was searching for Ren; he went into Yoh's back garden finally finding the boy he was looking for. Ren was training. "Ren, can I ask you something?" Horo asked Ren walking up to him.

"You just did." Ren said focussing on his training. "But you can ask me one more question if you leave me alone afterwards."

Horo stared at Ren then smiled. "Can you go out on a date with me tomorrow night?"

"Yes."

"Really?" Horo asked in disbelief. "You'll go on a date with me?"

"No." Ren said, finishing his training and turning to Horo who was currently looking very upset. "You asked me if I could, and I can. You didn't ask me if I would, and I won't." Ren turned away from the upset Ainu.

"Ren, please!" Horo said running over to face Ren. He fell to his knees, holding his hands together and pulling his puppy dog face. "Just one date. Please!" Horo begged.

Ren looked Horo in the face. He instantly softened upon seeing the puppy dog face. "Horo." He said sternly. "Give me one good reason why I should."

Horo crawled forewords gripping the bottom of Ren's shirt and tugging at it. "Because I really want to go on a date with you and if you say yes I will take you out to a movie and then a restaurant. I promise you will have a good time. I'll pay for everything."

"Since when have you had any money?"

"I got a part time job. I did it just so I could take you out somewhere nice." Horo gripped Ren's shirt tighter. "Please!"

Ren sighed. He really didn't have a choice. "Fine." He said, instantly Horo let go of Ren's shirt and jumped up hugging the smaller boy. "Just one date."

"THANK YOU!" Horo yelled then hurried of into Yoh's house, most likely to tell Yoh that he managed to get Ren to go on a date with him.

End flashback+

Ren smiled and shook his head. Horo could be really cute sometimes. He pulled on his cloths but left his hair down, he didn't want to put it in his usual Tongari today.

The doorbell went; he heard Jun answer the door and called Ren to come down. Ren walked down the stairs to find Horo talking to Jun. Horo stared at Ren's hair. "Hi Horo."

Horo swallowed. "Hey Ren. You ready?" Ren nodded and Horo smiled widely.

"Aww, my baby brother going out on his first date." Jun said. "Have fun you two."

Ren glared at her. Horo grabbed his arm and pulled him out of the door. "There's a new Jackie Chan movie playing in the cinema I was thinking that we could watch it. What do you think?" Horo said smiling at Ren.

"Sure." Ren said half-heartedly. Horo then let go of Ren's arm and stopped walking. Ren looked at him in concern. "Horo what is it?"

"If you really don't want to go then you don't have to." Horo said looking at the ground. "I know I pestered you into doing this but if you're not going to have fun then I really don't want to force you. I just want us to be together. Having fun and stuff isn't really your thing, I know but I was just hoping that you be happy with me. For just one night."

Ren walked to face Horo. "I wouldn't have said yes if I wasn't sure." Ren lifted up Horo's face so the older boy would look at him. "Now come on we don't want to be late for the movie."

With that Horo brightened up considerably. When they reached the cinema Horo bought their tickets and popcorn for them to share. All the way through the movie Horo made weird comments to Ren, at first Ren thought it was annoying but gradually he found Horo's comments funny and a few times he laughed. Then to his surprise he started joining in with Horo. Horo is actually really funny, and he makes me want to laugh and smile. How weird. Ren thought to himself. They both reached for the popcorn at the same time and their hands met. Horo looked up at Ren and smiled, he took the Chinese boy's hand in his own and kissed it before blushing and letting go to watch the movie again. Ren looked down at his hand then to Horo, he started blushing as well.

After the movie Horo took Ren to a restaurant. To Ren's utter surprise Horo had actually booked a table, he would have thought that Horo would have just gone to the restaurant and hoped that there was a free table. When they were seated there was an awkward silence between the two boys, but then Horo stared talking about random things getting Ren to talk back. To Ren's surprise Horo didn't actually show him up like he had expected.

Once they had their food they walked out of the restaurant. "Do you want to go straight home or do you want to walk around the park or anything like that first?" Horo asked rubbing the back of his head.

"Well . . ." Ren said thinking. I guess it won't hurt to spend a little more time with Horo. "Can we go to park and stargaze a bit?"

"Sure." Horo answered enthusiastically. They walked to the park talking together. When they reached it the sat by the lake and looked up at the heavens. They stayed in silence for a while. Horo looked over at the boy next to him and was surprised to find him smiling.

Ren noticed that he was being watched so turned his head away from the stars. "Why are you watching me Horo?" He asked.

Horo blushed. "I noticed you were smiling. I was just wondering if you were smiling because of the stars or the company you are with."

To Horo amazement Ren smiled again. "Maybe both." Ren moved closer to Horo and laid his head on the taller boys shoulder turning his eyes back to the sky.

Some time later they both decided they should be getting home. When they reached Ren's house there was another silence. "I had a great time tonight Ren."

"Yeah, so did I. Much to my surprise." Ren frowned. "To tell you the truth I was dreading this date but I had a lot more fun then I expected."

Horo looked away. "Well I guess this is it. You only said one date and now its over. This night hasn't changed your opinion of me, will it?"

"Yes. It has." Horo stared at the ground and sighed. "I like you much more now." Ren said blushing.

Horo looked up and smiled. "Cool." He hesitated a moment. "Usually on first dates they kiss after." Ren stared at him. "Do you want to kiss?" Ren looked away. "Okay I'll go."

"Horo?" Horo turned around. "Maybe on our second date."

"You mean it?"

"Yeah." Ren smiled.

"Cool." Horo ran off and waved when he reached the gate. "I'll see you later." Ren waved back.

When Ren got inside his house he smiled to himself he then ignored Jun who stared questioning him about the date as soon as got through the door, walked to his room. Maybe being with Horo isn't so bad after all. Ren thought to himself. He looked in his mirror and noticed that he was blushing just thinking about the Ainu. Ren found that he couldn't wait to go on another date with the blue haired shaman.

With me

SM: Aww. And for once I didn't write about people just saying that they love each other. Usually it's just people saying that they love each other. But you will notice that no one said it. I was thinking about writing another one about their second date. What do you think? Review!
