Yesterday, Hyakuya Yuichiro unable to sleep since he can't get his mind off from the event tomorrow.

Today, he's got all prepared and wear the best thing he got. He made sure to not looking awkward with classy suit he doesn't even fit with, but he doesn't want him to looks unappealing either. His green t-shirt with black and gray hoodie became his choice.

The air is still cold, refreshing, and calming, giving him more composed mind to prepare the day. He originally want to go with his bike, but he realize that he might get late. Sanguinem located below Kyoto, and they need to traveled few hours to reach Tokyo, not counting the traffic jam. So to do the travel, they agree to use the train instead.

He start the journey six and reach Sanguinem about three hours later at nine. He realize that he might be bit too soon for the date, but surely it's better early than late. When he reach the train stop, he continue to walk until he reach the outskirt of Sanguinem. On the top, the view of the distant horizon is beautiful with cloudy sky and blue ocean illuminated by the sunlight. The air is still cold, and the white puff of his breath is seen.

Yuu's eye widened at the sight of the small vampire that await him, sitting down toward the cliff while his long beautiful hair wave around by the morning wind. It's a beautiful sight. "Oh? You're arrived already?" Asura turn around and spoke softly, which made Yuu blushed. "Damn, he looks so angelic..." He thought.

"I... Yes, I rather come early than getting you waiting. You're up early too. The plan suppose to be around ten." He stuttered a bit, but finally could ease on as he speak. Asura stroke his cheek. "Truth to be told, I can't sleep last night. I'm too excited for the date- I mean, the day." He quickly correcting himself, seems to be really flustered as he accidentally called it a "date". Yuu can't help but surprised, the word get him right on the spot. Does he think it's a date as well? He's both happy, but also get really nervous now.

"Ahhh... Y-yeah! I can't sleep as well!" He awkwardly laugh, and the same thing with Asura. It help melt the ice between them, and situation got rather more casual now.

Asura smiled and approached him "So, ready for it?" He extend his hand to Yuu. The raven one were not only nervous, but also didn't expect for him to ask him for that. Yes, he ask him to held his hand as they walk together. However, the beautiful sight with the mesmerizing atmosphere of the sunrise made it so romantic, he simply can't resist it and extend his hand as well, accepting his hand. "Of course!" He smiled happily, ready for it.

They walked together down the hill, and Yuu can see the excitement in Asura's face since it's been a long time since he walk anywhere out Sanguinem. Whenever he had a mission to fulfill, they always go with vehicle directly from Sanguinem. The walking was smooth and the road isn't so crowded. However, once they reach the downtown, there are many cars and people passing by. Asura was more than fascinated with him turning his face everywhere to observe everything. Being a vampire that live for centuries, the latest growth of technology must be pretty amazing for him.

"Humanity already grow so far, and it's just been ten years!" He smile wide as he turn to Yuu, that can only smile back weakly. "Ten years is long enough for us to made lots of progress. So, it's been ten years since you're out of Sanguinem?" He ask back, and Asura shook his head. "I go out about three years ago, but just for a short mission to another vampire city. The last time I able to observe humanity from such close proximity on big cities is ten years ago. Even so, I was inside a car at that time." He explained his past visit to Yuu, which were listening carefully, especially since he's curious about him too.

After all the chat and walk, they reach the train station to ride the Japanese bullet train, also known as Shinkansen. It's a commonly-used mass public transport in Japan. There were so many people there, but it's not overload to the point of crammed, and luckily the two able to reserve some seat instead of standing there. Yuu was happy seeing how Asura's face get all bright and excited ever since he entered the train, as if he never had one, and probably actually never does.

As the train start moving and soon reaching full speed, Asura quickly switch his view to the window and get amazed by everything. The last time he ride train is centuries ago, and definitely not this kind of modern train. It was outstanding when he compare the current world with the one on his sepia memories.

Asura were in high spirit and chat happily with Yuu, and he was happy too with the enthusiastic vampire. After about three hours, they reach Tokyo, in around noon. Asura was amazed ever since he come to out from the train, or should be said, he's already amazed as the train reach Tokyo since he can see the overview of the city from there. People were everywhere and the building was so high. As they go out and walk, he get astonished even more by how the world have grow to be this advance.

In Shibuya, the two walk the downtown, and as they talk, Asura suddenly ask for a moment as he approached a small shop. Turned out he want to buy a floppy beach hat, or sun hat, which usually used for women. "The sunlight get too strong. I don't like it." He smiled to Yuu as he wear and fit it to his head, and it looks great along with his white dress. "Ohh? Is it..." He just got sudden realization. "Wait, can vampire really walk on daytime?" He asked what already a late question, and something he never think of since Asura and the other vampire go out in a day normally. He's worrying now though.

"It's fine. We're using protective gear against sunlight, but I still don't get used on such heat." He speak again as he walk out from the shop. "But an ice cream treat would be wonderful!" He smiled wider, subtly asking for a treat. Yuu didn't see that coming, and after thinking, he smiled wide too and walk together along him. "Then I'll show you one of my favorite place. You'll like it."

As the two walk away, there was a blonde passing through there and accidentally spot Yuu going out with someone. Mikaela wondered who is that, and out of curiosity, decide to follow him. So Yuu-chan does go out for a date, which he's fine with, but he just can't help but feeling curious.

Without the two know someone was watching, they continue walk through the city into a small cafe. In the open terrace area nearby trees that made it looks like a park, there was tables with parasol for people to eat and chat.

"Ohhh I see... Your family is pretty interesting." Asura commented as Yuu done talking about Mika, the orphanage, and Guren as their adoptive father. "It is. Mika can do so many things and usually take care of things for me. So the very least I could do is not to made him worried and take care of my own things." Yuichiro talk about Mika to Asura as they wait for their order, not realizing the real Mika was there, behind the trees. The blonde didn't care much that beyond the trees is pavement road for pedestrian to walk. He just slip there right behind the trees and bushes, and high chance someone was looking at him right now.

"Sorry for the wait. Here is the order. Crispy Chocolate and Strawberry Vanilla." The waiter come with two glass, one is with chocolate ice cream and one with strawberry ice cream. As Yuu dig in happily, he stop as he realized something. "Wait... Isn't vampire only could consume blood? Right?" He stare at Asura, and the small vampire simply smirk as he take a spoon and ate it. "That's right, but we still could taste food normally. We don't really need the nutrition of normal food and only need blood, but doesn't meant we can't taste human food at all. It won't satisfy us so we don't usually ate anything big, but if it's just ice cream or few snacks, it doesn't matter anyway. It's just like drinking water. Anything can drink water even if it's not a food" He explain it as he continuously ate the ice cream, spoon to spoon. "By the way, this thing is really delicious!" He smiled brightly, and it made Yuu relieved. "A-ahh I see. I'm just really glad you like it." His mind is still tad absent by his explanation.

Meanwhile Mikaela continue watching carefully, someone then tap his shoulder lightly and startle him. "Hi Mika-chan!" A cheerful feminine voice spoke behind him and made the blonde jumping. "S-Shinoa! Don't do that to me!" He shout softly to her, not wanting to blow the cover. "What you're doing? Stalking?" She tease-fully asked. Mika can only sigh and can't hide anything from them. There also Yoichi, Kimizuki, and Mitsuba, so he prefer not to tell everything to everyone, but surely it's not a problem. "Well, I see Yuu-chan going with his new vampire friend, so I decide to see what they're doing." He rub the back of his head and smiled apologetically as if he's feeling guilty over it. Mikaela is already like Yuu's big brother figure, so everyone know this protective and watchfulness side of him.

"Ahhh with Asura-san? Now I wanna see too!" Shinoa try to sneak behind the trees but only able to see the glimpse of them as Mika pull her shoulder. "Shhh! You're going to blow our cover!" He warned her, and she could only say sorry. "Let us do it slowly and- Wait, where are they?" Mikaela look around and did not found them on the table again. It's empty, leaving only two glass of ice cream leftover.

"Ahhh they done eating and go as you two talk." Yoichi told them what he seen, which made both Shinoa's and Mika's face grew darker in seriousness as if they're in danger. "Come on Mika! We need to catch up!" Shinoa jump from the pavement by passing cement block that divide the pavement with the terrace. "Oi, Wait!" Mika quickly follow her. They look around, but the two already disappear beyond the crowd.

Meanwhile the two curious stalker lost them, Yuu and Asura continue their walk into many place of the city. Visiting some mall, eating snack together, having a walk on a park, sightseeing on many place, until sun start to goes down. It's a really fun time for them, able to spend time together and do so much things. Even if the time is short, they value it so much.

Soon twilight approach the horizon, and the sky grew faintly more orange. The two were simply walking down on a park. The place is high enough and lonely for them to be able to see a sunset together. "It's beautiful, but this mean it's time for me to go home soon." Asura smiled and heave at this. It's such a short time and he wish it could go longer.

"It can't be helped, but we'll meet again soon. When I had the money, I'll take you here again, later." Yuu smiled gently to Asura. The vampire then suddenly wonder what's up with him speaking about money. "Could it be that this trip is pretty expensive for you?" Yuu quickly had change on his expression and try to put a cheerful face to not getting him worried. "Don't worry, I'm okay! It's just that using the train four times in a row would be really expensive for me. After all, I need to take you home, and go back to Tokyo again." He rub his head as he explain.

"Really? It's that expensive?" Asura wondered how much it cost. As noble, he never had issues with money. "Then I'm fine going back on my own. You don't need to waste your time and saving just for me." Asura suggested an idea, but Yuu quickly denied. "No don't need to! It's very rude of me to do such thing to-" Asura cut it as he put his index finger on Yuu's mouth. "Because I'm a noble? Because I'm not getting used to this? Don't worry about me, Yuu. I understand how the train worked just by watching you doing it and by your explanation." He playfully explained his excuse as he put away his finger.

"Well, I won't insist, but sure you'll be okay?" He look at Asura worriedly and the little vampire come closer to Yuu and gave him a cheerful, happy grin. "I'm stronger than what I look! After all, I never really spend my saving and I want to do something to help you too." He try to convince Yuu again, and the green-eyed boy could only exhale and nod. "Alright, but be careful. And that doesn't mean you're going alone either since I'll escort you until the train come." He gave his usual cheeky look and Asura could only giggle. "Deal!"

The two walk away from the park as sunset come, and by the station, it's already getting dark. The place was pretty crowded, and the two need to stay close to not get separated.

"It's so full in here." Asura commented on the situation and Yuu didn't expect this either. "Well this is a busy hour where people just going to get home, so it's not really a wonder." He speak as he grab his phone and see the clock, making sure they're on time. They could only waiting for now.

Suddenly, surge of people coming and Asura being pushed away from Yuu, but fortunately Yuu manage to reach out and hold his hand before he got away. He pull him in away from the crowd and were looking really concerned. "Be careful next time. Are you okay?" He ask him as his face get closer, and Asura's face start to grow in rose red as he replied. "Ahh... Yes... And my hand..." He avert his eyes as he point out that Yuu still hold his hand tightly. Yuu's expression changed in surprise and blossomed red, but he realize that he shouldn't let him go again for their own good.

"I... It can't be helped... Let's stay this way just until the train come." He avert his eyes too as he try to not think of it, but he couldn't. "Uhhh yes... You're right..." Asura muttered slowly as his mind start to steamed and his heartbeat increase. He doesn't usually lost his composure, but holding hand with Yuu while he's obviously blushing too only made it worse for him. For the next ten minute, it felt like forever for them, and they constantly being restless about it. However, even though none of them willing to admit, they were really happy and they enjoyed such rare, lucky occurrence that this moment happened.

The loud announcement of the station awakened them back to reality since they're totally out of their mind. The train soon come and the two quickly prepared themselves. "A-ahhh I guess I need to go now!" Asura reluctantly let go his hand as he gestured a parting gesture. "Ah yes it's..." Yuu stuttered as he isn't ready to said anything yet, but he brace himself and shout to Asura that start to got carried away by the crown.

"Asura! I really enjoyed spending time with you!" It's all he could think of in such short time, and Asura turn back with a wide smile on his face as he wave away. "Me too! See you next week, Yuu-chan!"

With that, everyone got into the train and leave Yuichiro by himself now. His heartbeat still slightly racing by it. The whole date, then the holding hand, and their dramatic departure. "He just called me "Yuu-chan" in the end. How cute." He giggled by himself as he go out from the station and going home with many sweet memories in his mind.

Meanwhile Asura sit alone on whatever spot he can get, and exhale. His face still slightly warm, and he continue holding his own hand, then kissing it with a flustered, embarrassed smile. He was genuinely happy with everything. Their time maybe short, but he treasure it as something precious more than his empty years alone all this time. He'll not forget about it and as he go home, he continue being bashful, remembering the awkward-yet-adorable moments.

Meanwhile...

"Mika! Do you find them yet!?" Shinoa shout to Mikaela which few block away from her. "Gahhh no sign of him! We're lost!" He grew frustrated as he start to gave up. "Where are you, Yuu-chan!?" He scream out.

On the other side, Yoichi, Kimizuki, and Mitsuba could only sweat and feeling out of place by the two stalking shenanigans.

Without they know, Yuu-chan and Asura already going home. By the time Mika was home, Yuichiro was chilling on the sofa, and Mika was totally speechless, too tired to even speak about it, let alone asking him about how the date goes.

Author's note.

SORRY for not updating anything for a month or more! _

Art block hit me like a brick and I'm busy with so many things. What I mean by busy is, I had 3 or more books on Wattpad, then need to take care of roleplay thread, then Tumblr, and now Fanfiction account, meanwhile I had my own life too.

Anyway I suppose to upload this chapter like a month ago but I just can't. There is an issue. The issue is that I plan for Yuu to go with bike to Sanguinem, but when I research for it, Sanguinem located on Kyoto... Then I research again on how long it would take to go from Tokyo to there with a bike? Well, more or less, 4 to 6 hours. Yes, it's that long. So I had no other choice to edit it and go with train since it's just about three hours.

Well, I hope the next chapter may go smoothly unlike this one. :3
