Her View

9:40 am 10/12/2***

"Suzuna! Does this look ok?"

Her sleepy sister appeared in the hallway, rubbing her eyes and sweeping the frayed sleep-hair out of her face. A lengthy yawn escaped her mouth as Suzuna finally started to actually observe the outfit her sister has put together in her rush.

How unlike her to be in a rush... Usui-kun must be giving her a pretty large impact for her to actually care about her clothes... Suzuna thought as she eyed Misaki's body. Suzuna's eyes widened slightly in surprise, Misaki being Misaki didn't miss the subtle change in facial expression and felt a small spark of pride swelling up inside of her.

"It looks horrible," Misaki's spark of pride extinguished immediately the moment her sister's blunt comment wormed its way into her ears. Suzuna could not possibly understand how her sister could have such a dreadful fashion sense, on a date day no less! Misaki's sister managed to put up with the tomboyish outfits her sister changed into on a daily basis, they were normal days afterall. But the fact that Misaki could have such a horrible fashion sense on a day to impress really irritated her inside, her sister may as well have worn a potato sack it would look better than the outfit she currently had on. However, Suzuna being Suzuna didn't express her personal distaste and simply pushed Misaki back into her bedroom and proceeded to wipe off the dreadfully unprofessional makeup on her face.

"Leave it all to your imouto*, I'll get you all perfect and primped for your date with Usui-kun in no time."

"Ugh! I might be late! I don't like keeping others waiting, it's against my morals!"

"Don't worry onee-san*, the primping will be worth your while. Besides, even if you are late, Usui-kun will be waiting there until the very end. I thought you'd learnt that already."

Misaki responded with an evident, rosy blush and a stuttering voice.

"O-okay fine! L-let's just hurry ok?"

Suzuna's mouth curved slightly as she left Misaki sitting on the bed and proceeded to pick out the few nice looking clothes out of Misaki's closet. She heard her sister's soft voice behind her as she pushed and picked out clothes.

"T-Thanks Suzuna..."

The imouto's* mouth curved a bit more.


His View

10:15am 10/12/2***

She's late... Again... I wonder if this is a habit of hers, to be on time for everything else but dates. Am I really interfering with her brain so much that she cannot even concentrate to brush her teeth? The perverted blond alien smirked to himself after he had checked his watch for the first time since he had left the apartment. For once, Takumi was not totally happy to be meeting with his near 2 years official girlfriend. Not because he was meeting her of course, but because the sky had turned a depressing grey. Black clouds floated overhead, meaning any outdoor activities for the date were now officially not included. Depressing weather usually meant depressing moods, and that was certainly not the way a boyfriend would like a date to go.

What was even more depressing to him was the fact that he had chosen the day for the date, meaning the seemingly perfect perverted alien view Misaki had seen him in for so long was now at stake. Why? Because perfect perverted aliens do not chose crappy days to have dates on. I guess I'll just have to take her to dinner in a nice restaurant or take her to a shopping centre. I wonder if Maki would mind if we stopped by his father's diner.

"Usui-kun!"

Takumi stumbled out of his thoughts as the voice behind him caught his attention. He turned around to face a familiar face, the Maid-cafe's owner. The Maid-cafe's childlike owner...

"Ah Satsuki-San. Sorry for just hanging around here for so long, Misa-chan seems to be a bit late and I'm a bit worried about her with this gloomy weather and all."

"I don't mind! You shouldn't worry about Misa-chan too much, she's too tough to be affected by mere weather like this! Besides, you being here is useful, look at all the female customers that came in!"

It was true, when Takumi glanced around the room a noticeable amount of girls were ogling him as he leaned against the employee's room door frame. Including the girls who had brought their boyfriends with them, who were desperately trying to get their lover's attention back. I can imagine what Misa-chan is going to say when she this, her being jealous is so cute and obvious.

"Aren't you more devious than you look, taking advantage of my presence to boost your income, tut-tut!" Takumi teased.

"Humph, well it's not as if it's costing you anything to be here."

"It's costing me energy."

"Well you can go blame Misa-chan for that, after all she is the reason as to why you're here in the first place isn't she?"

Satsuki grinned as Takumi remained silent.

"You win this round Satsuki-san, but I warn you that it won't be so easy!"

She opened her mouth to respond but was interrupted by a blond head that poked out from behind the curtain.

"Owner are you sure you should be talking to someone who isn't even here as an employee nor customer when there are actual customers to be served?" The girl spat bitterly before disappearing back behind the curtain.

Satsuki let out a lengthy sight as she turned her attention back to Takumi.

"Well this is annoying. 'Black' Honoka has been appearing quite a lot recently. I wonder what has go Honoka in such a bad mood... Anyhow she's right, I really should get back to serving the custo..."

'Ring, ring!' The recognizable sound of the door bell rung and Satsuki found herself not being able to finish her sentence as both she and Takumi stared at the girl who had just entered. She carried a soaked plastic umbrella which was dripping on the welcome mat and wore an adorable cream-colored duffle coat, boots and wore her hair in a beautiful side-braid which hung down over her clothes. The girl's lips were tainted with a glossy shine, her eyes were smoked pink and and her amber eyes stared with an intensity that left the two breathless.

Takumi felt a pat on his back, and turned to see Satsuki with her hand on his shoulder. A ridiculously large grin adorned her face as she said, "Have fun with your date you two!"
