Chapter 7: Under the fire
The two childhood friends sat down on a wooden bench waiting for their ramen to arrive. Hitsugaya resting head on his palms while his elbow was on the table and Hinamori sitting across from looking down at her fiddling with her fingers.
Matsumoto, who decided to join their dinner sat next to her best friend and looked at the two childhood friends avoid each other.
Matsumoto made a stern face and crossed her arms "Okay…This is getting sad. TOO SAD. You guys are making this too easy to be noticed, this isn't what engaged people do! Taicho, you really want Momo-chan to be taken by that good-looking stunning TALL gorgeous prince!?"
There was no response from the young captain, Matsumoto smirked at her captain. She knew her captain was worried and didn't want anyone marrying Hinamori but himself. Matsumoto looked at Hinamori and put an arm around her shoulders.
Matsumoto smiled at her friend with a shrug "I don't know Momo-chan, if this doesn't work I don't think it'll be too bad. You'll be his princess and will live in a royal castle with him and live happily ever after! And make royal golden haired babies-"
Before she could finish, Hitsugaya slammed the table with the palm of his hand violently causing Matsumoto to jump "IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN, I WON'T-!" his voice stopped as he saw his childhood friend look at him with surprise. He quickly calmed down and looked away, trying to hide his feelings from her and quickly changed the topic "Fine…So what is the plan?"
Matsumoto smiled at her captain's reaction, she knew how to get under his skin 'Hehehe! How cute Taicho…You probably want Momo-chan to have white haired babies, don't you!? Ehehe!' she let out a devilish giggle.
She clapped her hands "Okay, you guys are going to have to listen to EVERYTHING and do exactly what I say! Obviously you guys aren't acting like you're engaged…At all! So…Here is what you do…"
Matsumoto slowly explaining what each partner's role as the two childhood friends looked at each other and blushed. Starting from tonight, things were going to be very…Different.
After dinner, they continued their plan at a nearby tea house. This time Hitsugaya sat next to Hinamori as Matsumoto at across from them. Matsumoto had a wide grin which was pissing off Hitsugaya.
"Oh you guys…So cute, now you guys are getting it!" clearly Matsumoto was enjoying herself watching the childhood friends slowly blooming. Hitsugaya's eyes darken looking at her vice-captain "Matsumoto…Your plan better work or else…" he threatens her.
Matsumoto was too happy to feel her Taicho's threats as she fanned herself with her hand "Don't worry Taicho! This is going to work, as long as you two keep up with your roles and do what I told you!"
Hinamori's cheeks blushed "Hai…" Suddenly a golden haired man came by their table "Ah, Momo! I knew that was you! Good evening again Matsumoto-san and Hitsugaya Taicho" Natsume smiled.
"Ah, good evening Natsume" Hinamori greeted as Matsumoto waved hello to the golden man while Hitsugaya shot a glare to him. Matsumoto looked at her captain and gave a nod; Hitsugaya knew what he had to do.
Swiftly he pulled his arm out and wrapped it around Hinamori's waist as Hinamori let out a short jump from the sudden move. Hinamori froze as Natsume looking at the two being close to each other as Matsumoto let out a wide smile.
'I can't believe I'm doing this…' Hitsugaya thought to himself as he brought Hinamori closer towards him. Natsume observing the two carefully and took a seat next to Matsumoto "I hope you guys don't mind if I join you guys! Been trying to get my servants off my tail all night!"
"Huh? Uhh...S-Sure!" Matsumoto said, she was completely shock how stubborn this prince was. She had thought them cuddling would make him realize it but, at the same time the prince is no stupid prince. He was clearly sharp as a whip and looking in his eyes, that wasn't enough to convince him.
Natsume smiled and soften his eyes "So…When is the wedding?" The table became quiet; no one spoke as Matsumoto gave a kicked to her captain to reply quickly. "Not anytime soon…I've just recently proposed" Hitsugaya said calmly with a painful feeling in his shin.
"I see…" Natsume looked down at Hinamori's hand and saw the silver band "That's funny…Earlier I didn't see a ring on Momo's hand but now there is one."
'OH SHIT…' Hitsugaya looked at Hinamori's hand as Matsumoto let out a nervous chuckle "Eeehh ehehe! Excuse me! Can we get more tea! Hey Natsume-kun want some tea?"
Natsume smirked at Hitsugaya, he clearly was on to them right off the back. "Sure, I would love some!" he said cheerfully. Hinamori pulled her hand back under the table, Hitsugaya saw her nervously touching the ring.
Matsumoto had to save them; they were being boiled slowly alive. "Hey! Natsume-kun, how about we go have a little drink together!? What do you said?" Matsumoto cheerful said as she placed a hand on his shoulder trying to change the topic.
"A drink? Will Momo be joining?" He looked at Momo with a gentle smile. Hinamori shook her head "I'm sorry Natsume-kun…I'm a little tired so I'll be going home…With Hitsugaya-kun" she said in a quiet voice.
"Are you still not feeling too well?" Natsume asked with a concerned voice causing Hitsugaya to being irritated by him. Hitsugaya stood up and held Hinamori's shaking hands tightly "Don't worry about, she'll be under my care…Good night"
The two childhood friends left the tea house as Natsume looked at the two and smiled 'You can fool everyone else…But, not me.' He felt a pat on his shoulder "Come on Kasura-san! Let's go drink!" Matsumoto was still there and smiled 'Let's see how well you can drink prince! Going to make you sick for DAYS!'
Hitsugaya holding Hinamori's hand tightly as they walked back to Hitsugaya's private quarters. He looked at Hinamori with worry in her eyes and sighed "Don't worry Momo…He doesn't know, we just need to embrace this in till he leaves…"
Hinamori nodded quietly "Okay…" She felt the young prince knew because of the ring, she felt silly for wearing it when he had already seen her without it earlier. Hinamori clinched her fist; she had to try harder with her childhood friend. Promising herself tomorrow she'll embrace the fact she is now going to be temporally engaged to her childhood friend, Hitsugaya Toshiro.
