Chapter 15
It was evident that Tasuki could not make up his mind. He stared at the ground and could not look up. He was trying to make an unbiased decision.
"Tasuki, you told me yourself that you missed your home and your friends," Reana told him, trying to help him make his decision even though she herself looked worried about the answer.
Apparently hearing her voice had made him sure of his answer. "Reana I need to go back... but I want you to come with me.
Reana ran up to Tasuki and threw her arms around him as she jumped at him. Her legs and arms were wrapped around him and he was knocked backwards a little but still managed to stay standing as he in turn put his arms around her to support her.
"I'd love to Fang-boy," she replied.
Despite the name she used he smiled, and kissed her cheek. I guess he didn't mind that name so much. I couldn't help but smile at the scene.
"Ok then. Could we please get some ice cream now?" I asked trying to avert the topic.
"Oh yeah ice cream," Reana said as she got off of Tasuki and onto solid ground.
We reverted to the same formation that we were in before, with Chichiri's arm around my waist. Reana and Tasuki poked fun at each other the entire way to the ice cream shop. I thought they were cute together.
Upon arrival I had already known what I wanted. I always get a Mont Blanc, which is sludh with soft vanilla ice cream. We walked into the little shop that was a tradition of mine to go to with friends.
"Chichiri, I'm getting a large of my traditional ice cream and splitting it with you. You don't have a choice in that matter just so you know," I told him with a smirk.
"Ano. ok no da," he said with a weird look then smiled at me.
"Reana what are you going to have?" I asked.
"Just a regular vanilla soft ice cream," she replied blandly.
"Mmmk. Tasuki what do you want?"
"Whatever Reana has," Tasuki replied sneaking a sideways peek at her.
"Ahuh," I gave him a weird look, "Obsessive are we Fang-boy"
He didn't deny it but snarled at me and I jumped backwards from sheer surprise. Chichiri pushed him aside and before he turned away I stuck my tongue out at him. He was fun to tease due to his lack of patiance.
We walked to the counter in two pairs. Chichiri and I were in the front while Reana and Tasuki followed closely behind.
"A large Mont Blanc, lemon-lime slush please," I ordered the ice cream. The lady at the counter in her white smock nodded then went to work. I forked out the exact change of how much it cost, which I seemed to have memorized by now.
Once I was served I handed her the money and gestured for Chichiri to move away from the counter and did so myself to make room for Reana and Tasuki to step up.
She ordered two of her regular ice creams, paid the lady, and then came to join me at the table I had claimed for the four of us.
"What's fun about my traditional ice cream is that you get to use both a spoon and a straw. Mmm ice cream," I randomly ranted.
I got pleasantly odd looks from everyone else at the table. I laughed because of their stares, before they turned away.
I picked away at most of the vanilla ice cream while Chichiri seemed to be more interested in sucking through my straw.
"So you like it?" I asked Chiri between bites of my ice cream.
"It's sweet yet sour, but good, no da," he replied after letting go of the straw.
"Kool."
"Tasuki, having problems there?" Reana asked him averting everyones attention to what Fang-boy was doing.
"It's f*****g cold!" he managed to shout the complaint with a handful of ice cream in his mouth.
"It's 'iced cream' Fang-boy. It's supposed to be cold you moron," Reana stated.
He gave Reana the evil eye while mumbling profanities under his breath. Both Reana and I laughed at him. Chichiri merely smirked.
We spent about half an hour in the ice cream shop, while Chiri and I changed from spoon to straw, then started to head back for Reana's house again. This time I was walking with Reana in front while the two men lagged behind.
""What song should I have stuck in my head?" Reana asked me.
"Uh I dunno preferable one I know too, hmm," I thought a bout the for a moment or so, "Time of your life!"
"Uh ok sure why not..."
Then we both started singing the song by Green Day, aloud. The boys looked at us then at each other. Then decided to continue with what they had been previously up to.
When we came down Reana's street I left both Reana and Tasuki as we came by her house. We said our good-byes and I gave them both hugs before we left.
Chichiri was more bold now that we were alone and he took off his mask.
"Thank you for the 'iced cream'," he said before he pecked me on the cheek affectionately.
"Your welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed it."
"So is that really a meal?"
"No but in my world it is."
"Ano... no da," he said strangely, but smirked.
He was used to my oddness by now. He better have been. Even though he has only been around for two days, we spent the entire two days together. There's a difference when you're actually living with the person.
I grabbed his hand again, and gave him a simple butterfly kiss. The rest of the walk was spent in silence.
Even before we reached home the fatigue from my day was starting to kick in. Studying made me very tired. I began to use Chichiri as support to hold me up. I leaned my head on his shoulder, with my arms around his waist, when we were in the elevator. He was comfortable. Note to self: must use Chichiri as pillow more often.
When the elevator stopped I semi-detached myself so that I could walk properly. He pretty much dragged me to my apartment seeing as how I was almost asleep.
I gave him my key and pointed to the lock. Thankfully he seemed to know what to do with it and after fumbling with it for a while unlocked the door.
He dragged me inside and I slipped my flip-flops off near the door. He unhooked me to take off his own strapped sandals and I rested on the wall as he did so.
"I'm sorry I'm useless and stoopid when I'm tired and studying tends to make me very tired," I explained as he lifted himself up again.
"You're Lenore, you're never stupid, no da."
"Ahuh, I believe you. Wait no I don't," I replied in my tired sarcastic mood.
Chichiri seemed to have ignored that comment. He was looking at my key chain since he was still in possession of it. He pointed to what he thought looked like writing of sorts.
"What does it say, no da?"
I laughed a little then told him, "You've obviously mistaken me for someone who gives a damn."
"Ano?"
"That's what it says," I explained.
"That makes more sense, no da. Why do you have that?"
"Because I thought it was funny and it kinda suits me. Sometimes I just don't give a damn. Usually if I'm too tired or really peeved," I confessed.
"Understandable, na no da," he said rather kindly but his face seemed to be hiding something that was hurting him. He turned away from me.
"Are you alright Chichiri?" I asked him.
"I'm fine," he reassured but his voice cracked in mid-sentence.
"Chichiri?" I asked again, seriously concerned.
He walked away from me, and hid in the kitchen. I wanted to know what was wrong but figured he might need some time to himself.
I walked through the living room and into my bedroom. Somehow I managed to support myself the whole way there. I couldn't really keep myself awake and flopped myself onto the bed. I fell asleep instantly even though I had wanted to later check up on Chichiri.
*** Well that is it for now. A little longer than the norm but I guess you guys deserve it for me not updating for so long. As usual hope you enjoyed and tell me what you think!***
