I see now why people love reviews hint hint but seriously I would like to improve my writing, so as long as its constructive and something I can work on It'd be a great help. Lol woot thought up my own title. And if you just want to drop a line saying that you like it, that'd encourage me.

Nickels and Dimes

It hit me head on, almost like in those movies where someone would walk onto the road and get plowed down by a bus, well my idea was the bus.

A trip, we should go on a trip, me and Shizuru that is. Neither of us has really been anywhere, I just finished my last year of high school, finally. She's done university for the summer. It would be perfect, somewhere different than Japan... Iceland? Russia? Europe? wait I'm getting ahead of myself, I don't even know if Shizuru would like it, or if wed have enough money, well I do, but does she? And when would we leave? Mai would freak out if I just up and left without notice.

An unconscious smile crosses my face as I lay in bed imagining what we could do. I roll onto my right side looking at where Shizuru lay last night. She's probably in the bathroom getting dressed or something, I can hear movement... in the kitchen? I get up curious as to what she's making, food hopefully. I make my way to the island kitchen counter and flop down onto one of my bar stools.

"Hey what are you making?"

"Eggs and toast"

"That's odd of you, not that I'm complaining" really really odd of her...

"Well you don't exactly have a huge selection here" oh right I haven't been grocery shopping in a week.

I let her concentrate on the eggs and make myself content by watching her work. She looks adorable in my oversized black t-shirt I gave her last night. She looks very relaxed, it makes me happy that she can be so with me. My eyes trail down to her legs did she wear the boxers I gave her? Shizuru would, but it certainly doesn't look like she did.

I was brought out of my daze when I heard a plate being set down in front of me and look up to see shizuru settling herself down next to me.

"Thanks" I chowed down on my food, Shizuru was looking at me odd, probably trying to contain a laugh.

"Whaaat I haven't eaten since yesterday afternoon cause I went to find you, and by the way you should make it more clear where your headed it toke me way to bloody long"

"I don't ever remember telling you to come find me did I? By the way just why did you?" gulp shit why did I again? Quick lie fast Natsuki fast!!

"I uhhh..ummmm" I've never been good at lying on the spot "I forget".

"Oh really? You did did you? Could it by any chance have to do with the fact that, oh I don't know, yesterday was the day we first met?" S.H.I.T. we always do something that day, usually just hang out, it's kind of like an anniversary. another thing I've never been good at : dates, both types I once actually agreed to meet up with some girl I met at a shooting range, of course I didn't realize I was accepting a date at the time, Mai informed me, gawd was that ever embarrassing.

Anyone observing this wouldn't think she was taking it to hard, but I knew better, the only way I could make this better was by A) making a complete ass out of myself, preferably in public B) agree to put up with her teases for 1 month or C) become a suck up.

I went with none, I've been trying this new thing lately called honestly, it works sometimes, and I mean at least I just get my punishment up front.

"Right yeah sorry I uhhh how can I make it up to you?" she looked pretty shocked by that.

"..." wow speechless I kind of like this new honestly thing.

"How about I take you out today? Anywhere you want?"

"I...id like that" ha I guess she can't really get made at me right now.

"So where too?"

"I feel like...an aquarium or museum"

"Well which one? Remember I'm not aloud to choose" please don't choose museum, please those things are old and dusty and most of all boring

"Museum" fuck. Just fuck I can already tell that by the end of this day I''d rather be sawing off my own foot with a butter knife.

"Don't worry it wont be so bad, so stop giving me that look" -sighs- I suppose I have no choice

"Fine I suppose I have no choice, I'll be back in 20 I got to go fill up my bike with gas"

"Bye".
