Bonus Chapter: Chiori Amamiya
1 Year Since the LoveMe Auction Date
Chiori Amamiya dressed quickly into the outfit she and Kyoko had picked out the week before at the mall. She pulled on the black skinny jeans and buttoned them while looking at herself in the mirror. These look nice enough, right? She wondered.
Next she pulled on a white long-sleeved off the shoulder blouse. She quickly slipped on her white sandals before admiring her completed outfit in the mirror again. She was only allowed a moment to enjoy this though before her phone began to ring. She picked it up and checked the caller ID.
Katsu.
"Hello?" Chiori answered, feigning irritation.
"Hey, I'm outside, come down when you're ready." There was a click as the phone call ended.
She huffed as she grabbed her purse before heading down the stairs. With most people, she pretended to be a sweet shy girl and hid away her occasional venomous feelings but with Katsu it was different. With him she found that she was always saying harsh things she didn't mean.
She approached his car and opened the passenger door. "You couldn't come around and open the door for your girlfriend?" she asked, haughtily.
Katsu chuckled from inside the car and took off his sunglasses. "But if I were to do that then I'd miss getting to see you with that adorable irritated look on your face." He teased.
He replaced his sunglasses as she climbed in before he began to drive again.
"Where are we going to?" Chiori asked.
"It's a surprise." He told her before turning on the radio.
They drove in silence for some time before a familiar song came on the radio. Chiori moved to turn the volume down.
"Hey! What are you doing?" he cried, turning the volume back up.
She sighed, "It's an annoying song." She muttered, staring out the window.
"That hurts, Chiori. You know I wrote this song for you." He began to sing along with the lyrics, glancing over occasionally to see the deep blush on her face.
In reality, she kind of loved how sweet he was. But she couldn't tell him that. He'd just get an even bigger head.
More than an hour later, they pulled up to a building Chiori had never been to before. "What's this place?" she asked, looking around for a sign.
"This is Shinagawa Aquarium." He told her, a proud look on his face.
"Why'd you bring us here?" she asked.
Katsu sighed, "You're always so blunt." He chuckled before patting her head and exiting the car.
Chiori followed him up to the ticket booth but waited to the side while he made his purchase. He smiled at her as he handed her a ticket. "If we hurry, we can still make it to the dolphin show!" he exclaimed before grabbing her hand and pulling her along.
They sat in the fourth row from the large tank and watched as the announcer introduced the dolphins involved in the show. The dolphins began their tricks and all was fine until a huge splash came in their direction. Their shirts quickly soaked through and Chiori cried out as she realized her once white shirt was quickly becoming see-through.
"Here," Katsu offered, holding out his jacket to her. She wrapped it around herself for protection and the pair exited the stadium.
"Let's go over to the gift shop. I can buy you a shirt." He told her. They entered the shop and he quickly picked out a shirt with the picture of a dolphin on it for her to wear.
Chiori took the purchase and went into a nearby bathroom to change. Well, I guess this was a waste of a very expensive shirt. She sighed. Today was not going how she'd expected.
When she exited the bathroom she found Katsu waiting on a bench nearby. "Shall we go look around some of the exhibits then?" he suggested.
Chiori nodded and they headed inside to look at the aquariums filled with tropical fish.
"By the way, that shirt looks cute on you." He said softly as they stared into a tank of colorful fish.
Chiori glanced down at the tee shirt. "Thanks."
A couple of hours later, they made their way to the aquarium's restaurant. Once they were seated they looked at the menu.
"You can get whatever you want." Katsu told her from behind his menu.
Chiori blushed slightly. She had a love-hate relationship with Katsu's spending habits. On the one hand she did enjoy being spoiled by him, but she only enjoyed it when they were by themselves. In public, she was shy about his attentiveness.
The waitress came to their table and they each ordered, Chiori ordering a small inexpensive dish. Katsu waited for the waitress to walk away before saying anything.
"Why didn't you order something different?" he questioned her suspiciously.
Chiori acting innocent. "I ordered exactly what I wanted. That's all."
Katsu shrugged and nodded. "Suit yourself."
Fifteen minutes later, their waitress returned with three plates of food for Katsu and a single small plate for Chiori.
"Enjoy your food." She said before stepping away to leave them alone again.
Chiori found that by the time she had finished her own lunch, Katsu was only half done with his first plate.
"Finished already?" he asked her, eyeing her empty plate.
"I wasn't very hungry." She lied, but her growling stomach betrayed her. She was caught off guard though when instead of teasing her, Katsu slid a plate to her.
"Here, I can't finish it all, so why don't you eat that one." He told her.
Chiori gave a small smile as she devoured the food he had passed her.
After lunch, the pair went for a walk in a nearby garden the aquarium had. It was filled with blooming flowers and several birds that sang happily in the afternoon sunlight.
"Did you enjoy your lunch?" Katsu asked cheerfully.
Chiori glared at him. "It was good, but don't you think you should only order what you can eat. Don't go passing off extra plates to me again." She scolded him.
Katsu only nodded in response. He had gotten used to her by now, and with him that was her way of thanking him. He took hold of her hand suddenly and led her to a nearby bench.
"Sit down and close your eyes." He told her.
Chiori sat but eyed him warily. "You'd better not do anything weird." She warned him before closing her eyes. She felt Katsu's hand against her neck as he brushed her hair aside.
"What are you doing?" she asked, without opening her eyes.
"Don't worry. I'm almost… done. There."
Chiori opened her eyes and looked down. Fastened around her neck was a heart shaped locket. She twisted it around to look at it and clicked it open. Inside was a picture of the two of them from their Christmas date the year before, and on the empty side of the locket was an engraving.
To my love,
Chiori
-Katsu
She was speechless. She couldn't believe he had gotten her such a thoughtful gift.
"Thank you," she finally whispered. "B-but why?"
Katsu sat down beside her and looked into her eyes. "It's our anniversary, silly. We've been dating for one year exactly today." He scratched the back of his head. "That's why I brought you here, but I guess it didn't turn out exactly like I'd hoped."
Chiori stared at him feeling confused. "Why here?" she asked. This time her voice was gentle as she asked her question.
Katsu blushed, "Well, you said you wanted to come here."
"I did?"
"Yeah, when we were kids you said you always wanted to go to an aquarium. So I thought it would be the perfect first anniversary date." He sighed, "But it seems I was wrong since you didn't have much fun."
Chiori threw her arms around him in a hug. "Thank you, Katsu. I love it. All of it. The locket, the aquarium," she paused and looked up into his eyes, "You."
Katsu blushed deeper as he understood her meaning. But then a smile broke out across his face. "I love you too, Chiori. I really do."
And with those words, he leaned in and kissed her. He felt her smile against his lips. After several moments, they broke apart.
They were both silent, unsure of what to say as the silence grew increasingly awkward.
"By the way," Chiori said finally.
Katsu looked at her eagerly.
Chiori held out a gift shop bag towards him. "I need you to get my shirt dry cleaned. I wouldn't have worn something so fancy I'd I knew I was going to get salt water slashed on me."
Katsu stared dumbfounded at the bag before smiling again. He took the bag from her and then pulled her in for another kiss.
I guess some relationships aren't so bad. Chiori thought to herself happily.
