-Over the phone -

"Hi, Miyavi-chan! I am cooking your favourite ribeye steak with cute little carrots and mashed potatoes on the side for dinner! Feeling hungry? Wanna come over and eat?" Kai cajoled Miyavi into going to his house for dinner. After being friends for so long, he knew that food was the best way to lure Miyavi. It so happened that Kai's favourite hobby was cooking and voila! Instant buddies!

"Do you have a favour you wanna ask?" Miyavi voice was thick with suspicion. Kai had often used food as bait to lure Miyavi into helping him with several sticky situations. The last time he ate Kai's ribeye steak, he ended up having to help Kai design a ring for his 'wonderful' girlfriend. He wouldn't be so quick to accept Kai's offer of dinner now.

"No! Of course not! I am so hurt that you actually thought I was going to ask you for a favour!" Kai sniffed dramatically.

Miyavi rolled his eyes even though Kai couldn't see it over the phone. He laughed out loud and paused for a moment. "Alright. I'll go…" Miyavi sighed and knew he was defeated. Kai was too cute to be turned down and often used his cuteness to his advantage.

-At Hiro's and Reila's Home-

"Hey! What are you doing here? Did I ask you over?" Reila asked Mika at the entrance to her house, a 3 storey mansion decorated to look like a typical 'abode' of the aristocrats in Regency period. Her parents made their money from real estates and due to their common love of the romantic Regency, unanimously agreed on the unique décor of their house.

"Nope. Hiro-san asked me over. It's for a project!" Mika practically shriek the last sentence out after noticing the mildly bemused look on Reila. She blushed when Reila went "Oh I see".

"I wished I could stay and see for myself how cute you guys are but Kai asked me over to his place for dinner. And he's inviting a special guest too so I can't wriggle out of the date. My loss, I guess…" Reila said laughingly.

"Oh shut up."

"Have a great time together!" Reila grinned and went on her way to Kai's house. She had been about to leave her house when she met Mika at the gate.

"I wonder who the special guest is that Kai invited?"

-At Kai's house-

Reila looked up at the familiar building and smiled to herself. The warm façade of the condominium never fails to cheer her up. She waved to the security guard at the gate and entered after showing her entrance pass. The tight security was one of the reasons why Kai chose to live here. Stalkers were not an option. With fame comes the loss of privacy and Kai was determined to keep his life from being intruded upon.

Reila smiled when Kai answered the door wearing his customized apron, a black, red and white concoction, wielding a spatula. The apron was a gift from her as she couldn't stand him wearing a frilly pink one while cooking. Even though he looked adorable in it, she just couldn't stomach the sight of a grown man in an apron as hideous as it looked.

"Good timing. My special guest just arrived a minute ago and he's looking bored. I have to cook so I can't entertain him. Here's your chance to show off your social skills!" Kai seemed a bit flustered and Reila almost swooned with giddiness. Kai looked cute 24/7, even when he's hot and flustered. No, scratch that. Especially when he's hot and flustered.

"Uh… Do I even have a chance to protest?" Reila sighed loudly and batted her eyelashes at Kai.

"Zilch. Nada. Nope. Nil. Zero."

"I see…" She smiled and went in.

-At Hiro's Home-

"What's the project about?" Mika asked Hiro when she sat down on the living room's sofa. She only had a vague idea of the project that Hiro desperately needed help with and thus wanted to know more.

"Uh… I hope you won't mind but that was just a ploy to ask you over." Hiro had the grace to look sheepish. He wanted to see Mika but didn't want his sister to be nosey and interfere. He knew Mika would not keep it from Reila if she asked as they were best friends and no secrets were to be kept between them.

"Oh…" was Mika's stunned reply.

"Shall we watch a movie? We can watch it on DVD at home or we can go to the cinema now." Hiro forged on bravely, determined to make this 'date' a success.

"DVD. Do you have any popcorn at home?" Mika asked. Popcorn was her snack of choice when watching a movie.

"This date is going to be great!" Hiro cheered inwardly and relaxed.
