When Kuro arrived at the address he'd chosen, the familiar bluenette was leaning over the side of a small fountain, his hands resting in the water.

"Kanata?" Kuro asked. Kanata looked up and smiled at him. Kuro offered his hand to Kanata, who seemed amused by something.

"Despite the way you look, you're very kind." Kanata said as he took Kuro's hand. Kuro laughed lightly at this. After that they were stuck in a short silence.

"Well, I didn't have much of a plan, I kind of ditched my sister at lunch." Kuro rubbed the back of his neck and looked to the side. After a pregnant pause, Kuro gestured behind him. As they began walking, Kuro desperately tried to think of a conversation starter.

"Hey, why did you seem so eager to get out of the house, you actually sounded scared." Kuro questioned. H was slightly worried about the boy, especially after hearing that banging at the end of the call.

"Oh, just bored." Kanata mumbled out. They made eye contact and Kanata knew Kuro wasn't buying it.

"I'll tell you when we find someplace to eat." The bluenette said hesitantly. Kuro hummed.

The couple settled on a somewhat empty business and settled down. Kanata spoke with our warning.

"It wasn't my choice to marry him." Kuro gave him a confused look.

"I was lucky enough for my parents to except I was gay, I guess that's the limit of their kindness though." Kanata paused and sighed. He looked at Kuro's sympathetic, but still consider, face.

"I thought that I might actually like him, he was nice at the time, seemed to actually care about me. Now he rarely does anything for me, he's said he could have done better as far as looks go, barely looks at me, I'm to do everything from the house to the kids and still keep a job. I've been lonely for almost 5 years now." Kuro's heart broke with how little emotion Kanata had while saying that. Kuro felt that same unstoppable urge when he first saw Kanata.

"He could have done better? You're beautiful!" Kuro's face turned the same color as his hair and he slapped a hand over his mouth. Why the hell does this keep happening? Kanata also had a hand covering his mouth and was blushing hardly, but Kuro could see a small smile behind his hand.

"That's the first time anyone's called me beautiful." The couple's eyes locked and both moved their hands to reveal small, nervous smiles. They spent the rest of their time filled with giddy feelings and small smiles on their faces.

Eventually they made their way back to the fountain they had met up at and had to alert ways.

"Will you be ok going home? I don't want him to-" Kanata held up his hand and nodded.

"The kids will be home, he won't do anything while they're there. He isn't abusive either, he just has trouble controlling his anger sometimes. Thank you." Kanata hugged Kuro's neck, the taller hugged him by the waist before reluctantly letting him go.

"Kanata, is there anytime I could take you on an actuall date?" Kuro asked slowly. The bluenette looked surprised before he happily nodded.

"Is there anything specific you'd like to do?" Kuro asked, remembering that he didn't really know anything about Kanata. The latter seemed somewhat embarrassed to say, but went on anyways.

"Well, its not all that formal but, I haven't been to the beach for a long time. I was pretty obsessed with anything marine related when I was a kid, I really still am." Kanata rubbed his arm and blushed. Kuro's chuckled and nodded.

"That's good enough for me. Tell me when you know what day is good for you and, I guess I'll see you then."

"See you then." Kanata replied.

When the bluenette got in his car he pulled his phone out.

"Chiaki, do you mind if stay the night again?"
