Chapter 6: A Night Alone yet Together.

POV: Thomas.

"What?" Was all that exited through my lips, at the very moment I found my world turned upside down. "You want me to take you out on a date?"

"Well.. Yes.." Lady replied shyly with a face that looked so cute. "Before I leave Brighton, I want to get a taste of a normal teenage life without all the fans, autographs stuff like that. I love being a singer, but I need to remember that I'm a teen too. T-that s-said, I might be manipulating you a bit, so sorry if I am."

Admittedly, she kind of was, but not as much of a horrible way that those other girls who humiliated me were. Yeah, Lady wanted to use my date with her for her own personal gain, but in a more of a innocent sense rather than cruel. With this in mind, how could I say no?

"It's fine. There's nothing wrong with taking a break and living for some fun for a time." I replied. "In fact, I'd be more than happy to date you."

"Really?!" She gasped in reply with a smile that was very bright and beautiful. "Oh thank you so much!"

"Anytime." I replied as I then looked at the clock. "Hmm. Our parents still haven't come back yet. Anything we should do while we wait?"

"Watch some anime?" Lady suggested innocently as I shrugged 'why not?'

Using the stream on to TV feature with her phone, Lady looked through her list of animes that she had, until settling on one.

"I haven't seen it yet..." The pop-star began. "But my brother Proteus said that Tokyo Ghoul's pretty good."

"Oh boy, here we go again."

"Wait, you've seen it?!"

"Yup!" I replied. "As well as Sword Art Online, Aldnoah Zero, Soul Eater, My Hero Academia, and Fate Stay Night, All paths to be precise."

"Oh my gosh! I'm into all of those as well!" Lady exclaimed. "And I'm still hating Sugou for what he did to Asuna!"

"And don't get me started on what happened to Eugeo." I remarked, trying my best to hold the tears within my eyes. "Anyways, I'm guessing you're fine with the blood since you've seen Fate Stay Night and Sword Art Online Alicization?"

"Just as long as I don't see and bones or organs." Lady replied as she then sat down next to me. "Anyways, anything I need to know before watching Tokyo Ghoul?"

"Just two." I replied. "Stay till after the credits, and NEVER skip the intro. Or in the case of season one anyway. Season 2 or Root A is actually NOT cannon except for slivers of it, so if you want to find out the WHOLE cannon lead up to RE, then you may have to read quite a few mangas."

Lady looked at me, shocked that I even know so much about it.

"How did..."

"I did my research." I simply replied as Lady nodded.

"Well, looks like I may have to disappoint my brother the next time I talk to him." She sniggered. "Oh gosh darn it! We haven't have a date yet and we're already acting like a couple, fancy that."

"Well technically it is." I replied. "Couples sometimes have dates like this. Even as teenagers."

"Then I guess it's going to work out fine then, when you take me somewhere." Lady remarked with a smile. "But enough talking, lets watch this thing."

And with that, Lady tapped the play icon on her phone, and Tokyo Ghoul started to play across the TV screen. Thinking that I could enhance it a bit more, I checked with Lady to see if she had any pop-corn in her hotel room, which thankfully she did.

Placing it in the microwave for a the requested time, I glanced at Lady who had her eyes glued to the whole thing. She then got startled a bit when Rize took a bite out of Kaneki. I sped walked back to the couch and found myself comforting her by wrapping my arms around her.

POV: Lady.

"It's going to be okay." He cooed to me. "Tokyo Ghoul has moments like these from time to time, but it's not all bad."

I couldn't believe it as I gazed at his soothing blue eyes and felt his warmth that emitted from his skin. I just had only met Thomas at this very night and he's already acting as if he was my boyfriend. Regardless, my heart skipped a beat as I felt his warmth, savoring it more and more as he hugged me.

But...

I wanted more...

His face was already close to mine so it should've been no daunting task. Slowly, but subtle enough where he won't question or notice my actions, I readied myself to kiss him.

"Come on, get closer. Closer.."

"DING!"

"DARN IT!"

The pop-corn was done. Talk about terrible timing. Taking MY Thomas away, that stupid machine!

POV: Thomas.

When I returned with a basin full of pop-corn, I noticed Lady looking all pouty faced as I sat next to her.

"What's wrong, Lady?" I started my tease. "Jealous of a microwave?"

"Oh, meanie!" She gasped dramatically. "What makes you dare to make such an assumption?"

"Oh, just the fact that you are clearly upset with it as it tore me away from you." I went on teasingly, making her blush more.

Yup! I think I totally got her on that one. Her was even cuter now. But alas, her expression did change to one of amusement as she saw Touka shoving a hand down Kaneki's throat. She then did the same to me, but with the pop-corn, most likely as payback for my teasing. She then giggled even more, as I ate it all, downsizing the chipmunk cheeks that I had. It was then at that very moment, when I got a call from my dad. Promptly standing up from the couch, I walked a few feet away from it and then answered my phone.

"Hey dad! Uh... Let me guess, Mum drank too much again, didn't she?"

"Yeah." My father replied. "And not just her, but Tasha as well. So... We're letting them spend the night at our place so she can sober up and not worry about unintentionally hurting Lady. Oh, speaking of which, be sure to let her know too."

"Uh right." I replied as I sweatdropped before saying my goodbyes, and ending the call.

"Everything alright?" Lady asked me, looking a bit worried as she stood behind me.

"Um... Yes." I replied. "But... Um... It appears both of our mothers drank too much and now we're going to be alone for the night."

"Oh." She replied blankly. "That's... Surprising."

"Yeah. And after I teased her about it to, darn it!"

Lady just laughed, as she then started to walk back to the couch. Now finding myself oddly jealous, I grasped her wrist, brought her facing towards me and kissed her. No sooner had I started, she pushed my head back and gazed at me with a smirk of such annoyance.

"Kiss me when we're back on the couch, okay?" She stated to me as her index finger was on my lips. "I want to enjoy my moments with you comfortably and carefully."

I obeyed, and sat back on the couch with her, and she then was the first one to start the kissing round.

As Tokyo ghoul continued to play, we snuggled beneath a blanket, making the plans for the date outside of the hotel room. Since we were here now, we settled on the Brighton Palace Pier, which will take place the next day.

As I then sent the message to my dad about our date, Lady sighed happily and began to nuzzle my cheek.

"So, I guess we can call ourselves lovers now?" She asked me innocently, as I caressed her cheek.

"I guess so." I replied, before linking my lips up with hers again, but this time for a French kiss.

Though I sounded cool on the outside, I was screaming with disbelief internally. How could I not? I had just won the heart of my celebrity crush, and WE'RE kissing as any couple would. It was really unforeseen. Very much so. Oh by the way, as we slept that night, Lady and I ONLY cuddled. Nothing under the term of "IT". Sorry not Sorry.
