Due to A) My complete love off this couple and fluffing it up and B) Someone asking me to do more—I present to you another bit of Naru-Naru and Kiri fluff. Told in his point of view! Enjoy!

Also, Disclaimer: I don't own these characters. I can only dream and be content with the characters I do own, though sometimes they are not enough. Sigh.

Chapter 2

Tonight was the night. It was the night.

I was terrified.

Tonight was the night of our first date. Date! I had no damn clue what to do! What to wear!

Wait—why was I worried about what I would wear? I'm a guy!

I banged my head on my pillow. I had officially lost my mind.

Okay…plaid. Can't go wrong with plaid.

You always wear plaid. Really, Shogo Narumi? Really?

Shut up, inner voice.

I threw on my nicest plaid shirt, tucked it in my nicest pair of jeans. But then I realized that we were just going out for a walk around the local park. Tucking in my shirt would probably be overkill. I untucked my shirt.

Why the hell did I even care about how I looked!

"Okay…shoes. I need my shoes," I said to myself. When I glanced up at my doorway, I saw Chisami staring at me. "GO AWAY!" I roared.

Chisami laughed and tossed me my shoes. "You left them in the salon yesterday. Chisami was just returning them."

I missed catching the shoes. "GO THE HELL AWAY, CHISAMI!" I yelled. I could feel my face on fire.

She laughed again but left the doorway. In a way, I was thankful that it was her and not him.

Father.

I shivered at the thought. Thinking better things, I made sure I had everything I could need in my pockets. Once I was set, I grabbed my coat, carried my shoes, and made my way downstairs to the doors. My shoes and coat securely on, I exited my house. I started to walk all the way to the Koshiba beauty salon where my date awaited me. If it took as long as it normally did, I would be early. But that would be okay, right?

Wait. Then it would be me and her dad all alone. He might kill me.

I'll be fine, I thought. I really hoped that the thought would be true.

When I arrived at her home, I paced around outside for a few minutes. I was early; I had some time to kill. I also had some serious nerve-related issues.

"What are you doing?"

I literally jumped up a couple of feet at the sound of her voice. And there Kiri was, leaning out of a window on the ground floor. My face started heating up.

"If you stay out there much longer, you're going to be late," she said, then returned inside, closing the window behind her. I couldn't believe that was all she was going to say!

Let's go, Shogo, I thought, and opened the door. Her dad nodded at me—Seiji Koshiba, but I was a little scared to call him Seiji, or anything really—and she had disappeared. I offered my hand to him to shake; he took it, shaking with a firm grip that scared me even more. There was a look in his eye, one that said he would kill me if I did one thing wrong. I returned that look as bravely as I could.

"Ah. He came inside." Kiri had reappeared, Shampoo beside her. "Go say hi, Shampoo."

The cat gave him a look, but actually stepped closer to him. He offered his hand to sniff; Shampoo accepted. Odd as it was to admit, that relieved him. Kiri loved that cat.

"Are you ready to go?" I asked Kiri, taking her in for the first time. For a simple walk in the park, she sure did look pretty. She wore a dress that fell about the same length down as her school uniform, and a jacket to cover her shoulders. Her wonderfully mussy hair was down and perfect as always. Not even half a millimeter off at any point. Completely perfect.

She waved her hand in front of my face. "Shogo? Shogo?"

"Eh?" I shook my head to clear the haze.

"You were staring. I thought something was the matter. I said I'm ready to go." Her eyebrows were slightly knitted together. I thought it made her look even more adorable.

"A-all right." All my nervousness returned right that second. We bid farewell to her father and began our way out, walking in complete silence at first.

"K-Kiri," I began, unsure of myself.

"Yes?" Her big eyes met my gaze straight on.

"N-never mind," I muttered and looked away. We walked awkwardly for a few minutes, until my hand found its way to hers. I squeezed it, still slightly amazed by the lack of rash from touching her. It was a great feeling. Suddenly the silence didn't seem so awkward. Instead, it was comfortable.

We roamed around the park, barely making conversation. We were both content to be with each other. While we rested on a bench, I brushed a bit of her bangs out of her face. She smiled, and I had to kiss her. So I did.

I leaned my head down to rest on her shoulders, face red. I was smiling, though. My right hand stroked her hair. When I looked back up I saw that she was watching me. I knew those eyes saw everything; that was how they were trained to be. I cupped her cheek with my left hand, used my right to cradle her head, and kissed her again. When I heard a click sound, my eyes went open and I jerked away.

"Did you hear that?" I asked her.

"Hear what?"

"The click sound. The one a phone makes when it takes a picture," I explained. I was already beginning to look around, already noticing a familiar pair of guys.

"I didn't hear it…but I was kind of distracted," she admitted.

So…cute… I thought. I would've kissed her again, right then and there, but I knew we were being followed. And then Kei began to act like he always did, knowing that I knew they were there.

"Naru-Naru, Naru-Naru!" he called out, munching on something unknown to me.

"Kei," I hissed, right eye twitching a little with irritation.

"Naru-Naru's on a date with Kiri-chan!" Kei exclaimed.

"Obviously," Kazuhiko said, joining Kei. His voice was dry, and he was still eying Kiri with the look of love. I wanted to beat it off of him at that moment.

"Would you two leave?" I asked as calmly as I could manage. Kiri just watched on, silent, expression indifferent as it usually was.

"No." Kazuhiko smiled at me.

"Naru-Naru and Kiri, sitting in a tree!" Kei began singing. I slapped a hand over his mouth before he could finish.

"Shut up, Kei," I told him.

"Mmm-fmmp-mm!" he replied against my hand.

"Maybe, Kei, we should send this picture all over the school," Kazuhiko said.

"What picture?" I whispered.

"This one." He sounded smug. He showed me a picture of me and Kiri kissing on that bench. Kazuhiko truly was the master of candid camera.

"ERASE IT!" I yelled. "RIGHT NOW!"

"I don't think so." He pushed his glasses up some. "Now, Narumi, release Kei."

"No!"

His finger hovered over the send key. "Narumi."

"RWWWWARRRRG!" I let Kei ago with a groan of anger. I shoved him away.

"Good, Narumi. Now, I think I'll…" Kazuhiko's finger slowly lowered towards the send key.

"Ochiai-sempai, may I see your phone?" Kiri asked sweetly, looking up at him with her impossible-to-resist big eyes.

"Y-yes," he murmured, passing the phone to her without another word. I watched her hit the erase button, then hand it back to him.

"Thank you!" She smiled at him, and for a moment he stared, dumbstruck. Then it clicked in his head what she had just done. I laughed and high-fived Kiri.

"Let's go," I told her, grabbing her hands and taking off. We ran as far away from them as we could. We stopped at another bench, and she sat down, slightly out of breath.

"Why didn't you stop me when I was in my rage?" I asked her, cupping her face and crouching down to be level with her face.

She stroked my cheek. "In case you've forgot, I like you best when you're angry," she said softly.

"Oh yeah," I murmured. I was already slowly leaning down to kiss her. "By the way, nice move there, deleting the pic."

She laughed. "Thank you." I felt her hand in my hair, then her lips against mine. It was a sweet, long kiss that wasn't interrupted by the sound of a photo being taken. And then there were many more of them, growing longer and harder to pull away from. When it was time to walk her home, I did so regretfully. But a block away from her home, she stopped me and wrapped her arms around my neck, standing on her tiptoes to kiss me fully. I wrapped my arms around her, lifting her up a little, and kissed her back. She smiled when I let her slide back down to the ground.

"See you tomorrow?" she asked.

I kissed her nose. "Of course."

She hugged me tight. I kept an arm around her shoulder as I walked her to her door and kissed her lips once more. "Tomorrow," I told her. Once she was safely inside, I started to work my way back to my home.

Tomorrow couldn't come any sooner.

And there we have it. Review and faves are always appreciated-especially since I ain't been on here in foooreveer. I hope y'all liked it! Lately, I've been questioning why this wasn't made into an anime. It would be fantasmal, would it not? Well, I love these two, and maybe I'll add another bit of fluff to his gathering fluff-bunny. Love y'all!
