Feb. 14. This is it, the day in which everybody gave out chocolates, roses and cards. I always felt weird about this occasion. I mean, why not every day? I never actually understood how this occasion meant to other people except now.
It was a bit cold and chilly so I changed into jeans and a shirt. I put on a blue varsity jacket and wrapped a blue scarf around me. I saw Gon outside. He actually looked worried or something because he was walking back and forth, then he saw me.
"Hi, where are you going?" he smiled. I guess he noticed my outfit.
"Nowhere, it's just cold." I answered. "Killua?" I asked. His friend was nowhere to be seen.
"He had a date with a blonde girl (Alexia?!)." he answered back. Oh, so that's why he was worried.
"You?" I raised my eyebrows. He just shrugged. I guess he was really upset.
"Hey, you, uh want to take a stroll around the park?" I asked him. He looked up and smiled. I actually knew he would say yes. So, we walked to the park and saw lots of hearts. Heart balloons, heart decorations, cards, everything! You name it. But what caught my attention was a bike rental. It's been a long time since I had rode one. I guess I stared at the bikes too hopefully because Gon noticed it and said:
"Want to? It's on me." he forced a smile. It's amazing when Gon smiles, it makes me comfortable. I liked that feeling. I realized he was waiting for me to answer.
"Yeah, I'd love to. Care to join me?" He smiled once more and ran towards the rental. I followed him. We saw only two bikes left. To our joy, one was green and the other was blue. Gon paid for the bikes and rode on the green one. He looked at me.
"So?" I realized I was staring at him. I rode on my bike. Gon went first and I tagged along. Minutes later, we were laughing and overtaking one another. Later, Gon skidded to a stop and got off his bike. We returned our and bikes. Just as we were walking home, I suddenly tripped and to my surprise I didn't fall. I looked up and saw Gon holding me. He helped me stand up. We suddenly locked eyes. I blushed.
"Uh, are you hungry?" Gon said, breaking the awkward silence. I just smiled.
"Yeah." We found a cafe. I followed Gon as he sat at one of the chairs next to the counter. The waitress saw us and said:
"What would you like to order, Ma'am and Sir?"
" Two cups of hot chocolate please." We chorused. We fell silent and laughed. Suddenly, Gon's face lit up. He whispered something to the waitress. Later our hot chocolates were served. I was surprised to see marshmallows bubbling up and down. They formed a little heart. I suddenly grinned.
"Thanks." I suddenly kissed him on the cheek. I was actually surprised as Gon was. He turned red. After that we had a conversation We were laughing and eating. We were in the middle of sharing a sundae when a voice behind us said:
"Well, looks like I interrupted someone's date." It was Killua.
