Anyway… ENJOY READING GUYS!


[MIDORIKAWA'S POV]

*Riiiiiiiiiiiing* *Riiiiiiiiiiiing* *Riiiiiiiiiiiing*

I slowly opened my eyes and looked at the time…

"9:00…" I read. "It's just 9:00. I still have an hour before Genda arrives…"

I was about to shut my eyes again and go back to sleep but then I realized something, "AHH! GENDA WILL BE HERE AT 10! I NEED TO GET READY!" I jumped out of my bed and headed to the bathroom, my clothes with me.

'I need to hurry! Genda will be here in an hour!' I thought.

As I finished my bath, I ran downstairs to eat breakfast. Some bread and coffee is enough for me. I finally finished eating. As I looked at the time, "9:45" I let out a sigh of relief. Good thing I finished everything before 10.

I headed to the living room to wait for Genda.

"Wait, why am I feeling excited?" I asked myself. Yes, I am feeling a little excited… Am I feeling like this because I hanging out with Genda the whole day?

'Yup! You're excited with your date with Lion-head'

"Date… NO! IT'S NOT A DATE! IT COULDN'T BE!"

'Then what do you call the 'hanging out' of two people?'

I pouted.

"I know this is not a date! Dates are only for couples! And Genda and I are not a couple!"

'For now…'

"We will never be one!"

'Not yet…'

"EVER! I'M SURE OF IT!"

'Then why kiss him back last night? Why didn't you push him away when he kissed you at the park? Why accept his offer of you two hanging out today? Doesn't that mean you're starting to like Lion-head?'

"NO!"

'Yeah, right…'

I was about to say something defensive when suddenly, the doorbell rang. "That must be Genda" I took a look at myself before answering the door. I didn't wear my usual red turtle neck and grey suit jacket. I just wore my blue jeans and a simple blue shirt. I don't usually wear these clothes since I'm always at work every day. But I still kept my usual hairstyle. 'I hope I don't look too plain to Genda…' I thought.

'Wait. Why am I even worried about this kind of stuff?'

*ding-dong~*

"Oh yeah, Genda's here" I said then ran to the door. There I saw Genda. He was wearing brown jeans and a long- sleeve green shirt.

"Hey, Ryuuji" he greeted with a smile.

"Hey,"

"Shall we go now?"

"Sure" with that, I locked the door behind me and left with Genda.

I have no idea where Genda was taking me. I just let him lead the way. Surely he has something planned which I clearly have no idea. "Uhhm… K-kojirou, where are we really going?" I asked.

Genda stopped his tracks for a second then took my hand to tangle with his and said, "Since you're always working for Hiroto, I was planning of bringing you to the movies…"

"The movies…?" 'Is that the best he got?'

As we reached the movies, Genda bought the tickets while I just waited for him. I had no idea what was the movie since he didn't want to tell me that it was. 'Was this his greatest plan? The movies, seriously…?'

"Come on, Ryuuji" Genda said then grabbed my hand and pulled me inside the theatre and we sat down on one of the darkest spots.

"Uhh… Kojirou, what kind of movie is this?" I asked.

"You'll see…" his tone was worrying me a bit. I could even feel him smirking. Then it hit me…

The lights were turned out and the movie was about start.

"I should've known…" I murmured. 'He picked a horror movie!'

The movie's title appeared on the screen followed by a scream almost making me jump out of my seat.

'Genda, you're so dead!'

I was biting my lip trying not to let out a scream. I just gripped Genda's arm tightly. I had shut my eyes but the sounds of screaming and the sound effects are still there.

'Why is it that horror movies are made to be scary?' I thought.

'It'll be over soon… It'll be over soon…' I repeated that phrase over and over my head. I'm not a huge fan of horror movies especially when something will appear out from nowhere that could scare you to death.

I opened my eyes and looked at Genda. He wasn't really bothered by the horror movie. Then I noticed something, he's blushing and I'm so close to him… too close… way too close…

"S-sorry, Kojirou" I said. This is so embarrassing… Genda seeing me like this, getting frightened by a movie…

"No bother… You're not a huge fan of horror movies, huh?"

"Isn't it obvious?"

Genda chuckled a bit then said, "Don't worry; the movie will end soon…"

"O-ok…" I answered but there's one thing bothering me.

'Will I still be alive when this movie is finished?'

"Don't worry, I'm here…" Genda said as he placed his hand on mine. For some reason, his words really made me relaxed a bit. But not enough!

"I'm alive… I'm alive… I'm alive…" I muttered.

"That movie was great! Wanna watch it again, Ryuuji?" Genda asked. I just sent him glares telling him 'NO WAY I'M WATCHING THAT AGAIN!'

"Why didn't you tell me you picked a horror movie? And where did you get the idea of picking a horror movie? Of all things why a horror movie?!"

"If I told you I picked a horror movie, will you still watch it with me? And the horror movie thing was an advice from a certain male whose boyfriend is Kidou…"

"Fudou… I'm so gonna kill you when I see your smirking face again…" I cursed out then I heard Genda chuckle.

"What's so funny?" I asked.

"I just couldn't forget how frightened you looked while watching the movie" Genda answered. I could only blush at his statement. Can I blame him? I don't usually watch horror movies at theatres nor at home! Not even when I was still in Junior High!

"Oh shut up…" I said as I turned my head.

"But still…" Genda then grabbed my chin to make me face him again then continued, "… you were so cute, Ryuuji…" with that, Genda kissed my forehead.

"K-kojirou…" if it was possible, my face was getting warmer and redder.

"Hey, it's already lunch time, wanna grab something to eat?"

"Sure!" with that, I let Genda lead the way but now, no more worries if he's planning something that could scare me out of my skin…

'Surely there's no place here that has the genre of a horror movie or a Halloween kind of place… But if there was, will he take me there? One more horror genre and I will surely faint…' I thought.

'Don't be such a chicken, Ryuuji!' my inner voice said.

'But-'

'No buts! You're with Lion-head! He'll keep you safe, don't worry…'

"Were here, Ryuuji" Genda said. I looked up and noticed the sign, McDonalds. 'At least it's not a horror house…' I thought as I gave out a relief sigh.

As we got in, we quickly got a good seat. Good thing it wasn't lunchtime rush yet. While we were eating, there was an awkward silence between us until Genda broke it.

"You know Ryuuji, I was actually planning of bringing you to that new restaurant here whose genre was all full of horror and halloween stuff like that" I nearly choked on Genda's statement. "But after your reaction with the movie, I'd rather not bring you there…"

"Good idea. I might not be able to make it even through the door if you took me there. Wait… a horror/halloween- restaurant?! WHO DOES THAT?! IT'S NOT EVEN HALLOWEEN YET!" I exclaimed.

"I know, huh? People and their ideas…"

"Y-you're n-not pl-planning to…"

Genda smiled first before saying, "Don't worry, I'm not gonna take you there…"

"Good"

"But I'd like to see your reaction if we went to one…" he stood up, grabbed my chin and tilted my head. "I'm sure you would look cuter than when we were at the movies…" with that, he neared his face to mine, making our lips meet each other.

The kiss mad was short, unlike last night…

"K-kojirou! Don't do that!"

"Haha~ you really are cute, Ryuuji. Just one of the million reasons why really I love about you…"

"Oh shut up and eat…" I said as I turned my head. I could really feel my face heating up.

"Ok, Ryuuji…"

As Genda and I finally finished eating, we exited the restaurant and walked to nowhere in particular.

"So… Where do you want to go now, Ryuuji?" Genda asked.

"Anywhere but horror movies and horror restaurants…" I answered only to receive a light chuckle from Genda.

"How about a haunted house instead, how does that sound?" Genda said sending shivers down my spine by just hearing the name. What's worse than horror movies and horror restaurants is a haunted house where anything could really pop out in front of you that could scare you to death.

"NO! Never will I go into such place!" I shouted.

"Haha~ don't worry, I'm not that quite interested in haunted houses today…"

I just gave out an 'hmph' then rudely looked away.

"Aww~ don't be like that, Ryuuji… Come on, look at me…"

"NO!"

'Don't be such a trying hard, Ryuuji…' my inner voice said.

I just kept silent until Genda had neared his face to mine and kissed my cheek. I felt my face get warmer by the minute. 'There he goes again; he kissed me in public without my permission…'

"KOJIROU! DON'T DO TH-!"

Genda interrupted, "I'll kiss you again…"

With that, he kissed me again not on my cheek but on my lips. I nearly melted into the kiss good thing I didn't and got the strength to push Genda and yell, "We're in public, Kojirou!"

"Sorry… Won't do it again in public… Just please, don't be angry…"

I was about to yell at him again but he had grabbed my hand then pulled me to some direction and I again have no idea to where he's planning on taking me.

"Kojirou, where are we heading to?"

"You'll know soon… We're almost there"

I didn't ask any more questions. I just let Genda drag me to nowhere.

Genda had stopped walking then said, "Were here"

"The… Fair?"

"Yup! When was the last time you went to one?"

"Uhhm… Junior High, I guess… I'm always busy at work so I don't have time to go here…"

"Well, since this is your day off, let's have fun" with that, Genda had pulled me to the entrance. I was planning on paying for my own entrance but Genda had stopped me.

"B-but…"

"Don't worry; I wanted to pay for you, Ryuuji…" I could feel my face getting warmer by the minute.

"T-thanks, K-kojirou…"

'He's paying for me… Is this a… date?'

'Heck yeah it's a date!' my inner voice said. I blushed at the thought that this might be a date.

The hanging out; the holding hands; the part where Genda's paying for me… 'Maybe this is a date…' a smile formed between my lips. 'Why am I smiling like this? Do I really like the idea of this being a date?' I turned to look at Genda then to our interlocked hands 'Yup… Maybe… Maybe I do…'


So that's it for Chapter 7! So how was it? Good? Bad? Short?

Sorry if it's a little… boring… I have no experience in dates so limited ideas on what goes during a date… Sorry again… Kaze, do you have anything to say?

Kaze: Why did it take long before Midori accepted that this was a date?

Me: Hmmm… because… in this date… meh I got nothing… just wait for the next chapter…

Please, leave a review! They're really appreciated :) See ya guys on Chapter 8!
