Admin Note: I should space these out more but nah. Id hate to keep anyone waiting :')
The two had agreed to plan a few date nights. Just a bunch of small dates, in various places. Some were to be more romantic, like a restaurant. While others were simply long walks in the park.
The wind blew harsh against the withering trees, leaves scattered across the ground. It wasn't quiet winter yet, but the weather was surly changing.
Rin couldn't help but let herself smile, feeling the warmth of her hand in the others. Their pace was slow, enjoying each other's company.
This was one of the days they decided to take a small walk through a park. A long trail circling a lake, various places to visit around.
The weather would be harsh soon, so they might as well do as many outside activities as possible.
Rin was dressed in black skinny jeans, wearing black combat boots to match. It wasn't cold enough just yet to wear boots. She wore a plain gray top, that was hidden under a baggy burgundy hoodie, where her lone hand was placed in a pocket. Her flowing locks were tied up into a pony-tail, the fine strands flowing with the wind.
While Sesshomaru was dressed in casual clothes as well, but without the jacket. He explained to her that being a dog demon this wasn't very cold. That the weather seemed nicer than anything.
The human female let her eyes wonder the lake they walked by. The lights of the city around reflecting in the dark water. It was night after all. Making the waters look a dark black, but small twinkles of light breaking the shadows.
They only could meet up at night, or on Saturday. Due to each others busy schedule. Sesshomaru had a business to help run, his father not accepting him to be late or tardy. Unlike his half brother who seemed to ditch when ever he felt like it.
While Rin had to attend school. Not wanting to miss an important test or anything. It's not like she wanted to stay after school to make it up, that just sounded unnecessary.
"Sesshomaru!" She exclaimed in a cheerful tone, pointing out towards the water. Their walking ceased, to catch a glimpse at what she was talking about.
There were rippled in the water, but nothing more, causing the female to frown playfully. "Awe, you missed it." Her tone was slightly whinny, just as a joke though. She giggled lightly, before explaining herself "I saw this fish jump out of the water," her large brown eyes found his small golden ones "I thought it was cool."
The demon gave her a small smile before continuing on. He never understood the amazement of humans. The way she looked so amused at the lights of the city. How they reflected in the lake below. Something as small as a fish leaping from the water was enough to make them cheer. Yet, unlike any other time, he didn't seem to mind. As long as it kept a smile on his dates face, he was completely okay with hearing her fangirl over the smallest things.
Rin didn't even think if she was annoying her date. To mesmerized by the colors around her. The bright lights standing out against the darkness all around. The red and yellow leaves that barely hung from the trees. How the wind blew them in a small herd, watching all the amazing colors mix. She hadn't been able to do this since her parents died. Seen all of the beautiful lights, it was like, everything was black and white. Rin could finally see the colors.
The thought of her parents left her mind as quickly as it came, not planning to ruin their upbeat date with a sob story from ten years ago.
The walking couple had only made it around a quarter of the trail, in no rush to quickly end their date. Even if the Inukai didn't talk, it was still nice to be with someone. Instead of laying in bed, alone, with the world on their shoulders.
Outside, they could occupy themselves. Not a single thought of work coming across the demons mind. Not bothering to think about the paper work he'd have to do tomorrow.
"Um," Rin quietly began, not wanting to suggest something and be rejected "Do you wanna sit down? Maybe we can sit by the lake?"
No matter the request, he couldn't refuse her. The thought of her perfect pink lips falling into a frown made his heart drop as well. Staring into her chocolate orbs, lakes of their own. Catching all the lights, just as the water did.
Sesshomaru nodded yes, following as she lead him to a small dock, a small bench at the end.
Rin was the first to seat herself, taking in a large breath, slowly releasing it. Relaxing into the wood under her, feeling her eyes weigh down. Keeping them open, not wanting the other to think the date was so boring she could fall asleep.
His weight made the small old bench slightly creek, causing a sleepy giggle from the woman. His eyes automatically laying in her, an unamused look written across his features.
Though, the teen didn't notice, she leaned against the demons bare arm, wrapping both her thin arms around his. Snuggling the side of her face into his bicep, her face not even reaching his shoulder.
"Sesshomaru?" She questioned, wanting to hear her dates voice.
"Hm?" Was his only reply, his eyes focused on the lake. Watching the small rippled flood away from the spot they were created.
"Why didn't you kick me out of your house that day?" He knew this question would come, just not so soon. The demon would have hoped it came years later, not mere dates later.
A small humming came from the depths of his throat, questioning himself why he didn't kick her out. Though, he knew it was because the night of, he liked her, but he'd never openly admit that.
"I don't know," the words left his mouth in a mumble "you just seemed different." As always his answer was vague. Rin not expecting anything more, already being use to how little he spoke.
So the answer was satisfying for her. Not minding that it was simply a four word explanation. Maybe another day she could get him to spill every last word to her. Maybe.
In their short time together, Rin had asked a lot of questions. Not really aimed at him, but about them, and other silly little things. He didn't mind that she asked, knowing that humans were very curious creatures. For some reason they felt the need to understand everything. Which just seemed ridiculous to the male demon.
Even so, no matter what annoying human tendency the small petite woman showed, it didn't bother him. Sesshomaru himself didn't understand how this small woman could so easily change his mind. It was boggling to think about.
He's spent his whole life disliking the human kind. Never once talking any sort of liking to a human, never less a human woman. Sure, in his life time, he'd been with woman, but they were all demons. Not allowing a human female to step foot in his bed, or house for that matter.
Yet here he was, sitting on a small park bench, with a human woman nuzzled up beside him. The same woman that woke up in his bed just weeks ago. The one he didn't kick out of his house.
She somehow had a hold on his, dare he say, heart? Dismissing the idea, he looked down at the unmoving female besides him. His cold expression turning soft. Small noises left her slightly ajar mouth, her eyes closed lightly. She was asleep. A peaceful expression staining her face; a face anyone would kill to wake up to every morning.
Sesshomaru lightly shook her shoulders "Rin," he whispered, not wanting to scare her awake. Knowing how fragile a human could be.
Brown eyes fluttered open, a small yawn leaving her lips. Eye sight connecting with her dates, a large embarrassed flush adorning her cheeks.
"I'm sorry!" She panicked, scooting slightly away from the demon, turning to face him. "It's not that this date was boring! No! I just haven't been getting enough sleep lately and..."
Her rambling continued, expressing her sorrow for falling asleep. Only stopping in mid-sentence when a gentle hand touched her face, two fingers placed under her chin.
When she realized his lips were pressed against hers, barely having time to kiss back before he pulled away, the look of amusement on his features.
"It's okay, Rin." He chuckled, placing a hand on the end of her leg, showing her really meant it. "Maybe we should head back. So you can go home and sleep."
Rin could only nod, following the demon off the dock. She was embarrassed that she fell asleep on their date. Still mentally kicking herself for allowing such a think to occur. Wondering eternally if Sesshomaru would ever text her again. That thought making her sad.
Walking back to his car was a bit faster than when they originally started. Though they were still hand in hand.
Sesshomarus pace was a bit quicker, Rin trailing behind him, not wanting to return home just yet. The night was young, and the thought of going home to a million loud kids didn't excite her very much. Hell, she had a better chance of sleeping well on that bench than her shared room with three other girls.
"Wait!" She slightly screamed with excitement, pulling her hand from him. Darting to the edge of the side walk, bending down in awe. In the grass sat a mother duck with small babies surrounding her. There had to have been at least ten. All cuddles up in the cool air, a few running around.
"Look at how cute!" There wasn't anything but joy lacing her words. The inukai just watching the scene. The young human squatting by the edge of the trail, admiring the small baby ducks.
Rin gasped as one of the babies started to stray to far. A small giggle leaving her lips as she stood, cupping the child in her hands, and placing it back towards the mother. "Don't go to far... You could get lost."
This surprised the demon, his eyes slightly widening. Rin would definitely make a good mother one day.
I hope you enjoyed! Leave a review?
