Saturday Morning Makoto`s Apartment
"Hey bro, wake up did you forget about your date with Kotonoha?" Eros said to Makoto
"Oh shit, I completely forgot, can`t be late," Makoto said as he rushed out of bed and scrambled to get ready
"Breakfast is ready for you, and I left you 9,000 yen on the table for the date so that you make a good impression on this girl," Moeko said as she left for work
"Yeah, thanks, Mom, this is quite a lot of money, wonder what I`ll do with it?" Makoto thought as he changed and got ready to leave
"Hmm, beats me, get going though, you`re gonna be late
"You`re right, let`s run," Makoto said as he locked the door and dashed to the park
At the Park
"Made it on time" Makoto thought as he sat on a park bench
"Yeah, but you might wanna wipe the sweat off of you" Eros pointed out
"Yeah thanks for pointing that out, but why`d you tell me to leave the book at home?" Makoto asked
"Because the book is a pile of shit, it`s not going to work, it`s better if you`re just yourself" Eros explained as Kotonoha walked up to Makoto
Sorry, I`m late, were you waiting long?" Kotonoha asked
"Nah, not really, why don`t we get going then" Makoto replied
"Sure," Kotonoha said as they walked together
At the bookstore
"So you wanted to come to here first?" Makoto asked
"Oh yes, you see I love reading" Kotonoha replied as she took a book from a shelve and began reading it
"All right, take your time then," Makoto said as he walked around the bookstore, but stumbled upon a rather graphic magazine
"Wow, look at those tits and ass," Makoto said
"I`ll say, damn she thick" Eros chimed in
"Makoto-Kun," Kotonoha said as she came up to Makoto who was well too distracted by sexy women to notice that she had seen what he was reading
"Oh Kotonoha" Makoto replied as he saw Kotonoha`s expression which looked like a smile, but more like disappointment
"Aww shit bro, we might be fucked," Eros said to Makoto
"Might`ve been nice if you gave me a forewarning " Makoto thought back to Eros as they left the bookstore
At the arcade
"Oh I really want that plushie," Kotonoha said as she tried to win the crane machine
"Here you want one?" Makoto asked as he was carrying multiple plushies as well Makoto is surprisingly good with machines
"Uh sure" Kotonoha replied
"I don`t know if showing off`s a good sign," Eros said to Makoto
Lunchtime
"Here I got us some food," Makoto said as he was carrying a tray full of cakes
"Oh uh thanks" Kotonoha replied
"What`s up with her?" Makoto thought as they ate
After their date 7:00 pm
"Today was fun wasn`t it?" Makoto asked
"Yes, it was" Kotonoha replied as she got off her stop
"So I`ll see you tomorrow?" Makoto asked
"Yeah, see you tomorrow," Kotonoha said as the doors to the subway closed
"Damn well that was disappointing, I tried acting like a true gentleman and she still didn`t seem to enjoy, what am I doing wrong," Makoto thought
"Listen, kid, relationships like this take time and patience, what you think on the first date, you`re gonna get pussy easily, naw it doesn`t work that way" Eros explained
"Huh, maybe this is why my past turned into this with impatience, can I really keep this promise?" Makoto thought as impatience was starting to get to him
Makoto`s apartment
"I`m home," Makoto said as he entered the door
"Oh welcome home" Moeko replied
"You`re home, I thought you were gonna work late as usual" Makoto replied sounding a bit surprised
"No, there weren`t as many patients today, so I came home early today, so how`d the date go?" Moeko asked
"Could`ve been better, I didn`t even get a kiss" Makoto replied
"Geez, you and always wanting affection from girls, you`re just like your father who banged every female he saw, can you be reasonable whenever it comes to this?" Moeko replied a bit annoyed
"I guess not" Makoto replied as he grabbed a drink from the fridge and headed up to his room
The Next Day at School
"Hey champ, what`s going on?, you don`t look so good" Eros pointed out as Makoto looked more sluggish than usual
"Well, the date from yesterday and its outcome kept me up all night" Makoto responded with his head down but was woken up by Sekai
"Hey Makoto, how`d the date go yesterday?" Sekai asked
"Went alright, but it seemed that Kotonoha wasn`t even enjoying our date" Makoto replied glumly
"Well, that`s to be expected, you guys don`t really know each other" Sekai explained
"Yeah, but I didn`t expect us not to go anywhere" Makoto replied
"Why don`t you confess your feelings to her, it might clear up the rift between you and her" Sekai proposed
"Might not be a bad idea, I should probably talk to her after school" Makoto thought
After School
"Alright gotta find Kotonoha," Makoto thought as he headed towards Class 4 where Kotonoha might be, but ran into a familiar face
"Oh if it isn`t Makoto, what`s up?" said Otome Katou, Makoto`s childhood friend
"Hey Otome, I was just wondering if you knew where Kotonoha went?" Makoto asked
"Oh Kotonoha?, I think she was leaving to go to her meeting" Otome replied
"Got it, thanks Otome," Makoto said as he ran to the stairs. "what does Kotonoha have to do with Makoto?" Otome thought as she went back into the classroom
"Where could she be?" Makoto thought as he ran, but luckily he saw Kotonoha heading up a flight of stairs and stopped her just in time
"Hey, Kotonoha can we talk?" Makoto asked
"What is it Makoto-Kun?" Kotonoha asked
"So I know that our date yesterday didn`t go so well, so I thought that we could have dinner over at my place and get to know each other better, would you like that?" Makoto asked as he handed her a piece of paper with the address to his apartment
"Sorry I have to go to my board meeting and I have curfew" Kotonoha replied while leaving to her meeting
"Fuck!, I can`t win anything can I?" Makoto yelled, but Sekai had seen the whole thing unfold
Makoto`s apartment 4:50 pm
"Finally home," Makoto said as he plopped down on the couch from carrying the groceries and food for the dinner date
"Makoto, you`re really going through with this, what if she doesn`t show up?" Eros asked
"If she doesn`t then it's whatever, I`ll just eat good tonight, leave some food for my mom and that`ll be that" Makoto explained as he got the food on the counter to prepare it
"So what are preparing then?" Eros asked
"We got Hamburg steak with broccoli, rice, and egg along with some shrimp pasta and karrage and lastly some ice cream for dessert" Makoto explained
"I thought this was for 2 people, not for a competitive athlete" Eros replied
"I know, but you gotta set a good example to the lady," Makoto said as he put on an apron
"Alright do your thing then," Eros said as he watched Makoto cook
After the board meeting
"Heading home?" Sekai asked as she saw Kotonoha leaving
"Yeah" Kotonoha replied
"Did something happen between you and Makoto?" Sekai asked
"No, it`s nothing like that" Kotonoha replied
"Come on, with that expression on your face something did happen, why don`t you tell me what happened" Sekai replied
"Alright, I`ll tell you," Kotonoha said
After a few minutes of conversation between the two
"I see, so you had no idea how to handle the date," Sekai said
"Well, the truth is that I`m afraid of men because of my big chest" Kotonoha replied
"You`re insecure about your chest?" Sekai said while looking at her chest
"Yes, I don`t have many friends due to this and most of the girls bully me because of this" Kotonoha explained
"That sounds terrible, but did you and Makoto make up?" Sekai asked
"Well he tried to invite me over to his place for dinner, but I declined his invitation" Kotonha replied
"I think he invited you over so that he could understand you more and the truth is he wants to be there for you" Sekai explained
"You think so?" Kotonoha replied
"It`s also important to consider his feelings as relationships succeed when both sides understand each other" Sekai added
"But even if I open up to him, will he accept me?" Kotonoha replied
"Makoto will understand, I`m sure of it, he may be an idiot at times, but he needs someone like you to keep him in check, why don`t you go over to him?" Sekai proposed
"I guess it wouldn`t hurt to go meet him, he`s a nice guy after all," Kotonoha thought, "all right I`m going to go see Makoto-Kun she said as she left
"Go get em Kotonoha, these two make a cute couple, ahh love," Sekai thought as she left
Makoto`s Apartment 7:00 pm
"Finally finished," Makoto said as he took off the apron
"Wow, you really outdid yourself this time," Eros said as he saw all the food on the table
"All right all that`s left is for her to show up, I hope she shows up though," Makoto thought but luck be on his side he heard a ring on his door and went to the door
"Makoto-Kun," said Kotonoha as she was out of breath from running to his apartment
"Kotonoha, come in you must be tired from all the running" Makoto said as he took a towel and handed it to her
"I was worried that I had messed things up between us so I got here as fast as I could," Kotonoha said as she wiped herself off
"Anyways, you must be hungry from the meeting, let`s eat then shall we?" Makoto said as they sat down
During Dinner
"Wow this is good, I didn`t know you could cook so well," Kotonoha said as she tried the steak
"Yeah, I live with just my mother so I had to learn how to do housework and cooking" Makoto responded
"Oh I see, it must be tough living by yourself at times," Kotonoha said as they finished up dinner
"Nah not really, it gives me some freedom, anyways I`ll get dessert," Makoto said as he got up, but was stopped by Kotonoha
"Kotonoha?" Makoto asked seeming a bit confused
"It`s just not fair, you`re such a great boyfriend, but I`m a girlfriend who doesn`t have anything good to my name" Kotonoha replied
"Kotonoha.." Makoto said in an attempt to calm her down
"Would you like a girl who`s clumsy and can`t cook?" Kotonoha asked
"Of course not, I love you the way you are" Makoto replied boldly
"Really you mean that" Kotonoha replied back
"100 percent, the truth is I was in love with you this whole time, but I didn`t say anything because I was afraid you`d see me in a different way and I want to be there by your side" Makoto responded back
"Makoto-Kun," Kotonoha said while leaning closer to Makoto, "the truth is I want to understand you better and I`ll do my best to make you happy" Kotonoha added as she leaned in and kissed Makoto in the lips
"So I guess that means we`re dating officially," Makoto said after the kiss
"Yes and to understand you better, I`m going to be the one who`s going to be giving you dessert for preparing me dinner," Kotonoha said
"That sounds nice, why don`t we go into my room then" Makoto proposed
"All right then," Kotonoha said as Makoto took her hand and they went into Makoto`s room and let`s just say that they made out and learned something about each other
"Wow, this is getting steamy, we better end this chapter before things get steamy," Eros said as he watched what was unfolding
