Chapter 2 – First Date
This Saturday wasn't special for most people, in fact the weather was getting colder, and there were only clouds in sight, but for one chestnut haired girl, today was one she's been waiting for almost her entire teenage years. The girl ran through the shopping centre towards the meeting spot, her hair was done in her usual style and she was wearing an azure blue dress. Finally arriving at the spot she leans against a wall to catch her breath.
"I hope I'm not late," said a breathless Onodera. She spent way more time today doing her hair making sure it was perfect and spent even more time deciding what to wear for her first date, after a whole hour of indecisiveness she decided that the next thing she grabbed would be what she wears today, turns out to be a big mistake. The dress although very pretty and matching her carefree innocent personality perfectly hung fairly low from her neck which meant revealing more skin than she was used to. She got that dress one time shopping with Ruri, the evil genius girl in glasses forced her to buy the dress to seduce Ichijou which she never did resulting in the dress behind kept away in her closet until it was it's time to shine when it was fatefully grabbed by the desperate girl. She decided to fill the void that was created by the lack of clothing near her neck area by wearing her key as a necklace which made her feel a bit more comfortable.
"No, you are a whole hour early," said a voice behind her. Turning around Onodera's face lit up seeing the person she has done all this for, Ichijou, her new boyfriend, thinking about this made her face turn bring red.
"We were suppose to meet at 5 what are you doing here?" said Ichijou.
"Huh?" Onodera then looked at the clock tower seeing that it was only 4; in her overly nervous and excited state she must have misread the time (is that even possible?).
"Oh oops, I was too excited and nervous I guess," said Onodera with a blush of embarrassment on her face. The cute sight of Onodera embarrassed struck Ichijou's heart like a flaming Cupid arrow; the thought of Onodera being so excited for their date melted his heart.
"Wait but why are you here so early?" said Onodera snapping Ichijou out of his trance state. It was actually a function programmed into Ichijou's brain that made him show up at any events that included Onodera at least 2 hours before the meeting time avoiding the possibility of the stars aligning against him and causing him to be late, leading to Onodera thinking less of him.
"Oh…um I guess I was nervous too," said Ichijou laughing awkwardly and looking down not wanting Onodera to find out about his weirdness in case it creeped her out. Suddenly realizing what Onodera was wearing his eyes traced toward her chest area, the dress hung a lot lower than what she usually wears which revealed a lot of her…
"I-ichijou?" asked Onodera realizing where he was staring and having a good idea what he was thinking, it made her blush and she used her hands to cover herself a little bit more.
"AH I WASN'T STARING AT YOUR B-B-B… I WAS STARING AT YOUR… KEY!" stuttered Ichijou embarrassed that Onodera caught him doing something indecent.
"Oh… I see," said Onodera giving Ichijou a smile although not buying the key excuse at all she didn't want to push her boyfriend for something that was natural among boys. She was comforted a bit by Ichijou's embarrassment and deep inside was happy that Ichijou was looking at her this way.
"So uh what you want to do with this extra time?" said Ichijou trying to change the subject.
"How about walking around?"
"Sure."
The two got closer to each other and got ready to begin their walk through the shopping centre. "Ono-," said Ichijou before behind cut off by Onodera's finger on his lips.
"It's going to have to be Kosaki now," said Onodera with a stern but cute look on her face toped with a lighter blush.
"Alright… K-kosaki," said Ichijou blushing.
"Yes Raku?" said Kosaki giving him her best smile, she was just as nervous as Raku but she has waited too long to do this plus if they don't switch to using their first names Ruri will scold her again.
"N-nice dress it looks good on you," said Raku, his thoughts were blurred by the sudden change and I guess he just said the first thing that was on his mind.
'WHAT AM I SAYING? WHY AM I BRINGING THAT UP AGAIN? Now she's definitively going to think that I'm a perverted creep' cried Raku in his thoughts.
But to Raku's surprise Kosaki just responded with a shy "thanks" with an embarrassed blush on her face while looking away. She was surprised by the sudden compliment, especially one about her dress. Still trying to recover from the sudden compliment she felt a hand reach out for hers, turning her head she saw Raku smiling at her. Blushing and smiling back she held his hand and entwined her fingers in his. The two walked through the shopping centre silently enjoying each other's presence; they decided to stop at the fountain in the middle of the shopping centre to take a break sitting down.
"They say wishes made here come true," said Raku looking at Kosaki that had dipped her feet in the water "want to make one?"
"Sure!" answered Kosaki both of them pulled out a one yen coin and closed their eyes.
'I wish that I will be with Raku…'
'…with Kosaki forever.'
They both tossed the coins into the water and had a blush on their face; after all they just wished for something super cheesy that only people in romantic comedy animes ever wish for.
"What did you wish for?" asked Raku.
"Not telling," said Kosaki tilting her head a bit and making the most adorable face ever. At that moment Raku felt a huge urge to kiss her and began to slowly lean in, Kosaki feeling the moment was right leaned in as well. Right before they kissed Raku noticed that the water fountain jets were about to go off, a million things ran through his mind then. Does he kiss her but getting both of them drenching wet or does he save it for another time without getting wet? He instinctively pulled Kosaki and him away from the water fountain jets, not because he was against the idea of kissing under water fountain jets but because if Kosaki was drenching wet her clothe would be…
"Thank you Raku," said Kosaki, she was a bit disappointed but she didn't let it bother her.
'We still have lots of time today,' she thought.
"N-no problem," said Raku snapping out of his imaginary parallel world where he kissed her and she was drenched.
It was time for the movie and the two decided on a romantic movie since apparently it was suppose to be really good. The two found a good spot with not a lot of people around, and got ready to watch the movie. The movie started off really awkward, it was a couple on a bed stripping each other and making out, both Raku and Kosaki blushed deeply and was quite confused.
'Wasn't the movie about the amazing plot development of a couple?' thought Raku 'wait are couples suppose to do that stuff right when they start dating!?'
Kosaki's thoughts went completely blurred as the man on the screen began doing "things" to the woman. She tried to cover her eyes but human curiosity got the best of her as she peeked through cracks through her fingers and her imagination ran wild. Suddenly the woman's body split opened and a monster came out with claws and tentacles and ripped the man into many bloody pieces and ate him up. The two stared at the screen with a shocked blank expression as they realized they entered the wrong theatre.
After 2 and a half hours of non stop jump scares and gore the two stumbled out of the theatre, it was definitively not what they wanted to experience on their first date. It wasn't an opportunity for Raku to show off his masculinity either as he is also scared of horror movies but didn't want Kosaki to see him scared so he toughed it out which in a sense still showed his masculinity.
"That was unexpected…," said Kosaki.
"I'm sorry I didn't realize we walked into the wrong theatre," said Raku sighing to himself, the movie was suppose to create a moment for him and Kosaki to kiss but there were non in the horror movie after that horrific first scene it pushed the thought of romance right out of the two lovers' mind for the rest of the movie.
"Its fine it was still fun though," said Kosaki turning and trying to suppress a smile.
"Hey what are you smiling about?"
"It's just that your expression when the Thing came out of the woman in the first scene was so funny," said Kosaki laughing.
"You had the same expression!" responded Raku, as both of them laughed "alright I guess it wasn't that bad."
The two of them then went to their special spot and got there just as the sun was about to finish setting, Kosaki went up to the railing and looked at the amazing view with Raku right behind her. Raku looked at the scenery and was amazed he has never seen such a view, and then he looked at her. She was stunning, the wind blew on her chestnut hair as if that was the only purpose of its existence and the sun set as if it couldn't possibly bare how warm and bright she was. In her smile Raku saw something more beautiful than stars and was completely absorbed by her, the scenery now looked pale compared to the angel in front of him.
"You know," said Kosaki turning around and walking up to Raku to hold up her hand to his face "sometimes I can't see myself when I'm with you. I can only just see you."
'You can't see yourself? How can you not see yourself when you're so beautiful,' thought Raku, he was suddenly torn; he was frustrated that Kosaki chose to be with a man like him but he didn't want to see her with another man. He then stared into the eyes of Kosaki and saw nothing but love, no regret and no expectations just love.
"If my love were an ocean there would be no more land. If my love were a desert, you would see only sand." whispered Raku, looking into Kosaki's eyes and holding her tightly as she was starting to tear up "And if my love could grow wings I'd be soaring in flight."
'They say to find the man that can tell what you want and how you feel by just looking into your eyes,' thought Kosaki.
As Raku finished the last line the two embraced each other, their warm lips locking together perfectly, eyes closed, and sharing one breathe. It was as if time itself stopped, the only clock being their fast beating hearts. They finally separated in need of a breath starting time back up again and pressed their foreheads together as the sun set behind them.
'...I think I found my man.'
*Author's Note: So… how was it? Was it too cheesy? Too descriptive (I tried being more descriptive this chapter)? How was the length? IDK JUST SAY SOMETHING ABOUT IT IF YOU READ IT TILL THE END IDC WHAT YOU SAY JUST SOMETHING PLEASE! XD oh on a side note I wasn't really sure about the movie scene I think it is at the edge of T-M rated but I think I will still get away with it, I highly doubt this but if it disturbed anyone I apologize.
