Nagisa looked at the time on his phone before gazing up, he knew he was a couple of minutes early, he knew he was nervous, he also hoped he looked okay, having chosen a light blue t-shirt with a dark blue over shirt, tan cargo pants and his blue, grey and black sneakers.
"I wonder where she is" Nagisa said
"Sorry, have you been waiting long?" Kurahashi asked as she walked up
"A couple of...minutes" Nagisa said blushing, Kurahashi wore a simply light blue sundress which had green stripes circling the skirt, over top was a pale pink summer cardigan, she also had some light make up on. Nagisa had to admit she looked cute, but in another way she looked beautiful.
"You okay, is my dress okay?" she asked saddened
"Of course, I was just admiring how cute you look" Nagisa admitted
"Good to know" Kurahashi said "So shall we?"
"Sure" Nagisa said
"So the first stop on our date is a comic book shop?" Nagisa asked
"Well we are geeks" Kurahashi said looking through the western trade paperbacks
"Man, DC Comics had some weird crossovers" Nagisa said
"Such as?" Kurahashi asked
"DC Meets Looney Tunes, Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Batman/Ghostbusters, Harley and Ivy meet Betty and Veronica and let's not forget that time Superman helped out the Nesquik bunny" Nagisa listed off
"So that keeps things interesting, beside you can't talk Marvel's had some odd ones" Kurahashi said
"Like?" Nagisa asked
"Punisher meets Eminem, Archie meets the Punisher, Marvel Zombies vs the Army of Darkness, Star Trek/X-Men, New Avengers and Transformers and of course the weirdest one to date: Spiderman meets Ren 'n' Stimpy" Kurahashi smiled
"To be fair, Archie also has met Predator and TMNT" Nagisa said "Plus they had Wolverine marry the Witchblade once"
"Seriously?" Kurahashi said
"Yeah, and how is the Avengers teaming up with the transformers weird, considering Marvel has done several Transformers comics in the past
"Seriously?" Kurahashi said
"Yeah, heck they also did Godzilla as well" Nagisa said
"That I can believe, ah here we are" she smiled pulling out a graphic novel
"Gotham City Garage, I don't think I've heard of that one" Nagisa said
"Think Mad Max with the DC Comics girls being badass bikers, it was a web-comic before they published it as a pair of trade paperbacks" Kurahashi explained
"Oh nice" Nagisa said before spotting something "No way, the Red Goblin"
"Red Goblin?" Kurahashi asked picking out a wonder woman graphic novel and trade paperback
"Oh yeah, it's the final story for the writer Dan Slott who'd been working on Spider-man for ten years, it's about Norman Osborne getting the carnage symbiote and going after several people in both his and Spider-man's life. I've only read a few issues of it, but it was seriously good" Nagisa said geeking out a bit before reining it in, "Sorry" Nagisa siad making Kurahashi laugh softly
"It's okay, you can be as geek as you want around me" she said softly while smiling
"really?" Nagisa asked
"Sure, now how about some lunch?" she asked as they paid for their new books.
"You can't be serious" Kurahashi said as she bit into a dumpling
"I am serious" Nagisa said chomping on some gyoza, "I'm telling you that Superman will lose to Wolverine"
"How?" Kurahashi asked "No blade can pierce his skin" Kurahashi argued they call him the Man of Steel for a reason"
"Simple, he has admantium claws" Nagisa said "Adamantium cuts steel like a knife through water"
"Water, I thought it was butter" Kurahashi said
"Water cuts easier" Nagisa said
"Yeah, but you can't exactly 'cut' water now can you, before once the blade moves, the water just reforms on the other side of the blade" she said smiling
"True' Nagisa said looking down as he takes a sip of his drink, "So where to next?"
"I'm not sure" she shrugged, after they finished their lunch they went to the cinema, but they didn't see anything worth seeing, some of the posters for upcoming posters looked cool, but other than that, there wasn't much to see so they just left the cinema and walked around the mall, one shop grabbed Kurahashi's attention so she yanked Nagisa in there before seeing what she spotted and throwing it at Nagisa, who just shrugged and looked at the shirt Kurahashi threw him, it was a replica of the over shirt Noctis wore for Final Fantasy XV, one of Nagisa's favourites. Shrugging he tried it on, noticing it fit him well
"You look good in that" Kurahashi said
"I suppose" Nagisa said taking the shirt off and draping it over his arm, he looked around until he spied Kurahashi looking at a white dress that was her size, he smiled knowing she seemed to like it, but walked away, Nagisa frowned until he saw why; the price was a bit steep, even for him with the money he saved up from his job at Grind Finale. But he noticed the shape of it and the material, he could commission a replica of it from someone he knew. Either way Nagisa got the jacket and left the store.
It was getting late as the sun was about to set, so the pair waited at the bus station for the next bus, Kurahashi lightly dozing on Nagisa's shoulder as the pair waited. He smiled as he looked out into the sky as it was painted in hues of yellow and pinks. There was one thing plaguing his mind though, the Summer would be here soon and he knew that this had moved on from being fake, so instead of breaking up, he was going to do the opposite; he was going to confess in the summer. But question is how would she react to it, he hoped it would be positive; well if the previous dates he went on with her were oaky that must mean he's doing something right; Nagisa continued to muse on his thoughts when the bus arrived. So he gently nudged his date awake
"Is it here already?" Kurahashi cutely asked waking up
"Yeah it is" Nagisa helping her up and making sure she had everything before they got on the bus.
When Nagisa got home from walking Kurahashi home which was a bit away from here he lived, he decided to remove his shoes and sneak in
"You're late kiddo" his dad said from the couch reading a paper, while his mother was a bit better she was still strict, but after middle school his parents got back together, meaning there was more of a balance and his mother's less stable attributes which meant many of things Nagisa had to deal with while he was with his mother were slowly getting better "So any good reason?"
"Yes I would like to know as well" his mother said walking in
"Oh um...I was walking my girlfriend home" Nagisa said making his parents seize up so he tried to sneak away
"How long have you had a girlfriend?" Hiromi asked making Nagisa freeze up
"A couple of weeks" Nagisa said smiling making Hiromi look at him "Okay, okay the beginning of this week"
"And is she?" his dad started to ask
"Yes, she nice, she's funny, she's cute and I like her, maybe something more than like okay?" Nagisa said
"Sure thing Nagisa, we're just shocked by it" his father said smiling "And of course we're happy for you" he smiled
"We are" Hiromi said smiling softly before Nagisa hugged both of his parents
"Thanks you guys" he said walking off to his bedroom
"So how did it go?" Sugino asked after ringing Nagisa
"Not bad, all we did was walk about the mall, had lunch and then walked around some more" Nagisa said as he placed hsi new books away
"Is that all?" Sugino asked
"Yeah man" Nagisa said before he worked on something
"So you think this will work?" Sugino asked excited as he knew the situation
"I'm hoping, after all I've got something planned" Nagisa said
"I hope they work out man, I think you should do it" Sugino said
"I will man, but I think some other things need to be revealed beforehand" Nagisa said
"Now that is a bold move dude" Sugino said
"Please, didn't you do the same thing with Toka?" Nagisa asked
"I might have" Sugino said
"Not sounding real confident there pal" Nagisa said as he finished fiddling with the object
"I'm serious, but what do you think she will do?"
"Not sure" Nagisa admitted
"Not sure" Kurahashi said
"Come on girl, you got to be confident about these kind of things" Yada said
"I know, but this is kind of new to me" Kurahashi said
"Don't worry, I don't see what ever bad thing you're thinking of happening with him" Yada said
"I don't either, but it could happen" Kurahashi said gripping her pillow as she held her phone with her free hand.
"I think he may surprise you just yet, but I also think one other thing" Yada smiled
"What's that?" Kurahashi asked
"You've been hit by Cupid's arrow real bad" Yada said
"I guess so" Kurahashi blush looking up at the stars and sighed "I think I'm falling in love with him"
"Dude, I think I'm falling in love with her" Nagisa said
"About time you found your Jean Grey man"
"Seriously, that is the first geeky girl you think of!" Nagisa said
"Okay, okay my bad. About time you finally found your...Pepper Potts" Sugino said
"Better man" Nagisa laughed "See you later bro"
"Night man" Sugino said before Nagisa hung up. Once he did, Nagisa looked at the star again and smiled before getting ready for bed.
G'day Guys Grizz here and I would lie and say that the opinion of Nagisa in regards of Wolverine vs Superman is not reflected by the author, but that would be bullshit! Yep reckon Wolverine can beat Superman not because I'm a marvel fan, but rather because I'm a Wolverine Fan! also those titles Kurahashi and Nagisa were talking about in the comic book shop are actual titles of comic books and a few of them are in my collection. Now those final scenes with Nagisa, Sugino and the girls I wrote because they are teenagers in love for the first time so there will be doubt and fears, which I have never felt beyond having crushes on a few girls during high school (there was a point I think where was crushing on a new girl with each term in High School...man I feel old writing that) either way I think those scenes add development to them beyond they're just geek lol! (did I serious write lol?) which is one of the main aspects of this fic I want to get across being teenage geeks in love is a hard thing
So until next time I'll catch you on the flipside
