"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME EARLIER!" I said grabbing my jeans and putting them on.
"Dad sent me the ticket in the middle of the night yesterday, I WAS SLEEPING Yuzu Ni-chan!" May exclaimed as she was in a hurry to gather all her belongings.
"This is rather uncomforting that we have to rush to the airport" Rio added.
"It sure is, May show me the ticket!" I said asking for her phone.
She did as instructed handing me the phone as I opened up the ticket. As I began looking through it, it just confirmed that we're getting late and we should be leaving if we want to catch that flight.
I downloaded a local taxi app on her phone and it began searching for cabs around our location to the airport. Luckily since we didn't live much far away from the airport, only 27ish Km away. (16.7 Miles for you USA Lads)
[Time Skip]
We barely made it on time, you have to check in an hour before the flight and by the time we reached, it was 30 mins before departure.
"Go fast, me and Rio are standing outside if you need any help. Once you get the boarding pass and you're at the boarding gate call me" I said unloading her bag from the Taxi.
"Yes! Also Rio nee-chan please come visit us in Tokyo when you two get the time" May uttered looking at Rio with a warm smile.
"I will" Rio smiled.
"Bye Yuzu Ni-chan" she said one last time looking at me.
What do you think is an emotional moment? "GET MOVING ELSE YOU'RE GONNA MISS THE FLIGHT. You know how furious dad will get on me" I replied.
"Y-yes" she replied.
As she began moving, I forgot to give her something. I took her hand and pulled her into a caring hug as I pecked her hair, "I'll come to visit soon" I said.
"We'll be waiting" she replied as I backed myself away.
We both watched her running into the gate showing the Ticket her and Government ID to the guard at the entrance.
"You think she'll be able to catch the flight?" Rio asked.
"Depends on how fast she can run" I chuckled.
"You're sure are enjoying this" Rio added.
"Well, she's at fault too for not checking her messages," I said as I intervened our fingers.
"She's rather young to travel don't you think?" Rio said as we two started walking towards a cafe nearby.
"It's a flight, she is rather used to taking flights alone. Also, it's like a 30-minute flight and my Dad will be standing at the airport already so, there's nothing to worry about" I replied.
[Time Skip]
"Hello, Yuzu nichan?" I answered the call.
"Yeah?" I asked.
"I got the pass and I'm at the boarding gate. It'll start boarding in like 10 minutes you two can head out" May continued.
"Alright, have a safe journey" I smiled.
"Is it May?" Rio asked.
"Yeah, you wanna talk?" I asked.
"Sure," she said as I handed her the phone.
"Have a sa-safe journey, May" Rio said as I saw her cheeks going a bit pinkish.
"Yeah, I'll definitely visit you with Yuzu" Rio continued.
"Alright, Bye," Rio said handing the phone back to me as It clearly showed the call disconnected.
"She's very eager of you to visit her in Tokyo" I smiled accepting the phone back from Rio.
"I-im really excited to-too...meet your p-parents you k-know?" Rio said looking away trying to hide her embarrassment.
Yare-yare...I'm looking forward to that day too. A smile came onto my face from seeing the cute reaction of my science Fnatic girlfriend, "I'm gonna go get a coffee, which one do you want?" I asked.
Since we basically left with no breakfast, Coffee will be a good way to break free of this sleepiness that I'm having.
"I'll be fine with anything without much sugar" Rio replied.
"Sure" I smiled as I headed into the line while Rio was trying to find a free place for us to sit.
As I was standing in Queue, My phone buzzed. I checked my phone out as It showed me several unread group messages. I just tapped the notifications as the messenger app just opened up.
The last night I just proposed the idea of camping and it looks like they're all ready for it. Well...I don't see Kamisato san or Rio's message but the two rarely chat anyways.
(I made it in Paint just for a sake of it. Please no bully. Also, my favorite part of this is readers going "what the hell is he talking about?" I also write this story on Wattpad where I include Images, If you want, you can check it out by Searching Rio x Reader on google and clicking the first link. The Wattpad one.)
Oh Yeah, I need some camping equipment asw-, "Welcome to BtarSucks, what would you like to order sir?" The cashier asked.
"Ah yeah, sorry. I'll take two Caramel Salted Frappuccino, one with less sugar please" I said.
"Sure, anything else sir?" he asked.
"Nah, that'll be fine" I said handing him my debit card again.
"Your total is 1000 yens, also what name do you want on your coffee?" he asked.
"Yuzu" I said.
"On both of em?" he asked.
"Yeah, that's fine" I replied.
"Sure"
[Time Skip]
"Thanks for the coffee, Zuzu" Rio said smiling.
"Oh, you are very welcome" I chuckled.
"I just saw the group and you didn't inform me about the camping and hiking," she said taking a Sip and checking her phone.
"I was about to tell you, you wanna go?" I asked.
"It's too late to deny at this point anyway and since I've never gone on a hike before let alone overnight stay there. I'm kinda excited about the matter" Rio replied.
"Do you have any equipment?" I asked.
"I do have a Telescope to observe stars from up there..." she said putting a finger to her chin as she began remembering.
"That's...not really helpful equipment" I sweat dropped smiling.
"So, do we need to shop for some?" Rio asked.
"Yeah, I didn't bring my camping stuff here. I'll have to buy new ones" I replied.
"Guess we're taking a small detour" she replied.
"Yeah, by the way! let me try your coffee. I've never had the one with less sugar before" I said offering her my coffee.
"Su-sure" he said as I saw the slight blush on her face again.
I took a sip as it was evident that the coffee was a bit bitter but hey wait for a second...she's blushing cause of the indirect kiss. On the other hand, Rio took a sip off mine as she looked at it impressed for some reason.
"This is not bad I might start drinking coffee with more sugar now" she said.
"That could be cause of the Vanilla cream that I didn't sip already," I said pointing at the cream at top of my Frappuccino.
"Yeah, this cream is pretty delicious aswell" Rio replied.
"If you like it that much, you can have it" I said.
"What? no no no it's your coffee-" she began saying.
"It's fine. This is one not bad either" I smiled.
"But that's supposed to be bitter" Rio replied.
"It's an indirect kiss from Rio, no way it could be bitter" I chuckled.
"That's not logical, the saliva shouldn't be affecting the taste" She replied.
"Oh but love certainly does"
[Time Skip]
"So which one are you picking?" Rio asked me as we both looked at the bags hanging in front of us.
"I'll take that 60L blue one. It looks rather comfortable" I said picking it out of the shelf.
"The brown one seems decent to my eyes," she said as she stood on her tippy toes and tried to reach up as her green t-shirt lifted a bit up from her waist which was visible to others around us.
Oh no no no, this is not happening babe. I'm not letting these other guys look at you like this. I just wrapped my hands around her waist as I lifted her up a bit.
"ZUZUUU, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" said a surprised and flustered Rio.
"Take that bag" I replied.
The brown bag was a bit higher than mine. I mean I could've removed it if I wanted but this way seems more...enriching to me.
Truth be told, I don't want these guys looking at my girl anyway.
She, on the other hand, picked the bag out as I gently placed her back on the floor.
"You could've easily picked it out yourself!" Rio said with a full red face.
"I know know, but it was fun wasn't it?" I laughed.
"I-it was" she sighed.
Next up was some Sleeping bags, I mean we could buy a tent instead, right?
Rio picked out two bags of the same color as she put them into the cart.
"Wait, we're buying a tent too. Do we need this?" I asked.
"You can't sleep on the tent's base. It's not suitable for sleeping as there's no padding in that. We'll be laying these sleeping bags on it to sleep" Rio explained.
"Ah that makes sense" I replied.
"Do we need to buy a gas burner too?" Rio asked looking at our cart.
"Kunimi has one, luckily" I replied.
"Then...we can conclude the shopping right?" she said looking in the cart.
Tent check
Sleeping bags check
Burner check
Boots-
"We still need boots" I added.
"Ah the final instrument" Rio replied.
Her science references on real-life items still continues...
"Ye-yeah" I chuckled.
We began touring around with the cart trying to find the boots section in the outlet. Rio now instead of walking in front was walking by my side, "I don't know why but I prefer shopping with you" Rio said looking straight into my eyes.
Only if I can tell you how much I love you and how cute you are GOSHHHHHHHHHHHH. I have so much love for you, how can I express it to you!
"I-I also love you" I replied.
"You love me or shopping with me?" She asked chuckling.
"Yes"
[Time skip]
"Here, Mam 8 size. I'll bring your 11 size give me a second" said the staff going to get my shoes.
Rio opened up her box as brown boots were neatly placed in them. She sat on the stool as she began unlacing the shoes.
"Let me help you" I said getting on my knee as I unlaced the shoes and put them in her feet. When I got on my one knee in front of her, I felt a huge embarrassment hitting my face but since I was just putting the shoes in her feet It was easily justified.
Even though I could calm myself down here, I just can't imagine the day I actually propose to her...gooooood, I'll need some balls to do this. Please lend me some strength when the time comes!
"Zu-zuzu everyone's watching" she said with a red face.
"I'm just helping my girlfriend, what's wrong with that?" I said with a straight face clearly ignoring the real reason she's embarrassed for.
"You're really a big baaka" she facepalmed.
After buying the final requisite, we started heading home, "Can I bring my telescope zuzu?" Rio asked me on the way.
"You wanna watch the stars?" I asked.
"It's much easier to see stars on mountains as no city lights and little to no air pollution blocking up the stars. Mountains and forests are ideal places to observe the stars from" she replied.
"Su-Sure, bring it along" I sweatdropped from the free education that she just gave me.
Rio insisted that she will carry half of the bags this time as we both used the free hand to interlock our fingers. We were just walking back on a chilly night again, just like some other times that I can remember.
"Hey Zuzu..." she started.
"Yeah?" I asked.
"I love you..." she said as a yellow light from the nearby shop reflected through her olive-green eyes. It felt like that very sentence reverbed and looped around my ears as I'm sure my heart skipped a beat.
"Only if you knew the effect you have on my heart"
not enough lovey-dovey moments in this chapter?
I'll put some in the next chapter. Was thinking I should write another lemon chapter too...let's seee.
Another valentines day and I'm all alone in my room sick of shit. Ainh anyway tell me what you liked and hated in this chapter.
