(Special Chapter)
***Megumi***P.O.V
"So how's the plan going?" I hear the familiar voice of Takashi say. I quickly wiped my eyes before speaking to him.
"What do you want, to rub it in?" I state between sniffles.
"Relax I'm just here to help." He says leaning against a desk.
"Help how?" I questioned.
"I told you you wouldn't find the culprit that way. I happened to overhear something and find something useful that will help you pinpoint the culprits." He says in a cool, calm and collected voice.
"Ok then who did it?"
"Well of course it's gonna cost you first." He explains with a bigger smirk.
"Fine what's your price?" I state. Takashi then begins to tell me what the price is.
"Well...after we tell the principal about the culprits you have to go on a date with me today." Takashi whispers in my ear.
"You have a deal." I reply and I can't help but smile a little.
***
Once we told the principal about who really vandalized that teacher's classroom, Takashi and I headed on our so called date.
"Where are we going?" I asked him as we walked.
"Somewhere." He says in a mysterious he probably wanted to say was just be patient and wait.
When we finally stopped walking I noticed we seemed to be in front of this really fancy restaurant.
Takashi and I head inside and immediately I take back what I said about it being fancy.
I begin to sigh. Will Tomoyo be okay with me dating her brother? I look up and notice Takashi staring at me. I quickly blush and look away.
"Hi, I'm your waiter Nina and I'll be serving you today. Is there anything you'd like to drink?"
"We'll take two lemonades." Takashi says before I could answer not that it bothered me though.
"Hey Megumi?"
"Y-Yes." I replied because I was caught off guard.
"I can't help but notice you don't seem like your normal self." He says staring deeply into my eyes.
How sweet is he, he even knows when something is wrong with me. That's not the point though the point is I don't feel comfortable dating Takashi behind her back.
"This wouldn't have anything to do with me being Tomoyo's brother would it." He asks breaking me from my thoughts.
"No-yes, ok it's just I don't know Tomoyo probably wouldn't be happy-"
"That is exactly what I hate about you." Takashi states interrupting me.
Did I say something wrong? Takashi hates me now?
"I hate that you always want to do what makes Tomoyo happy!" He says raising his voice a little.
By then the waiter comes with our lemonade and I thank her.
Takashi and I just look at eachother in awkward silence. I didn't know what to say everything I say seems to make him angrier and angrier.
"Huh sorry Megumi, It just pisses me off sometimes that you always want to make my sister happy." Takashi says in a calmer voice.
"I see..." I replied it was the only thing I could think of to say at that moment.
"I guess I just want Tomoyo to be happy because she's my best friend well my first friend. I realized that before I didn't have any real friends they all liked me because of my image but Tomoyo is different. Sure we didn't get along at first but she never left me. So the best way to repay her for that is to make sure she's always happy." I added.
Takashi doesn't say anything at first instead he looks me dead in the eyes before finally speaking again.
"I understand you want what's best for my sister but what about you?"
"Pardon?"
"When will you be happy? What about your happiness?" Takashi explained to me.
"My happiness doesn't matter!" I say getting frustrated now.
"Yes it does Megumi! It's not selfish to want to be happy too. We all deserve happiness in our life's otherwise we would be miserable."
I don't respond by now I have no idea what to say. I didn't care that people all over the restaurant were staring at us.
"...I mean you can't tell me that you don't feel anything for me at all Megumi. That being here with me right here right now doesn't make you happy." Takashi states in a calm but sad voice. He also looks over to the side and not directly at me. I noticed that his cheeks are red.
"I don't feel anything for you." I lied. I can't bring myself to say it I don't wanna chase after my happiness anymore because it always backfires in the end.
I then get up and walk out the restaurant. I didn't care that Takashi seemed to running up behind me.I tried to wipe the tears out my eyes that managed to flow out.
Takashi then grabs my wrist to stop me from walking any further. He then makes me turn around but I still don't dare look at him in the face.
"Megumi look at me." He demands. I was hesitant at first but I finally bring myself up to look at him even though tears were streaming down my eyes.
He then does the unimaginable. He places both of his hands gently on the sides of my face and leans in.
In my head I kept telling my body to turn away turn away but my body just wouldn't listen.
I then feel his warm lips against mine and we kissed. When we finish our kiss Takashi puts his forehead against my forehead and whispers something.
"I like you Megumi...so will you please do what makes you happy and be my girlfriend?" He whispered.
"Yes." I whisper back with a smile and we both kiss again.
Moments later after we shared our second kiss Takashi walks me home, each of us holding eachothers hand as we walked.
"I guess we could keep this a secret from Tomoyo until the time is right." Takashi states as we walked.
"Yeah." I replied squeezing his hand tighter. I just became Takashi's girlfriend...
and this warm hand I'm holding right now makes me...
Really happy.
