Rei and Kira took a booth near the window. Kira stared absentmindedly at the cars that whizzed by as they waited for somebody to take their order.
"Hello, may I take your order?" a cheerful voice piped.
"Yeah, I'll have six pancakes with eggs, bacon and orange juice," Rei said immediately.
The young waitress took a few minutes to write down his order in her yellow pad before turning to Kira.
"And for you?" the waitress asked her.
"Um, orange juice will be fine," Kira said softly.
"all right," she replied tucking the pad in her apron and hustling off to the next table.
Kira watched silently as Rei watched her walk away. She knew what he was thinking, but said nothing.
When the waitress was out of sight her turned his attention back to Kira. He wanted to ask her what was wrong, but he already knew.
"Can you tell me now?" Kira asked slowly.
Rei looked at her for a while, a little unwilling, but knew he could hold her off no longer.
"Last night we went to Brian's party," he began. "We got into an argument..."
"About what?" she interrupted, her face faltering greatly.
"At first you didn't tell me it was his party, so I was pissed when I found out," he explained with a small shrug.
"Oh, I think I remember that part..." Kira added. "Are you still angry with me?"
Rei took one look at her angelic face and saw the concern. He knew he couldn't stay angry with her.
"No, I'm not angry about it anymore. So, after that," he began moving on with the story. "I left you, and Brian took advantage of you. He got you drunk and tried to bring you to his bedroom."
Kira's hands flew up to her mouth in surprise. "He did what!"
"Don't worry, you told him no, and by that time I found you. I brought you home with me after that," Rei finished off.
"I didn't do anything weird right?" Kira asked nervously. She'd heard that when people get drunk the end up saying and doing a lot of things they normally wouldn't.
"No, you were out all night," Rei lied. He didn't want to have to tell her that she kept trying to jump in his pants, what she doesn't know can't hurt her right?
"Wait, what about my mother? Where does she think I am?" Kira asked worriedly.
"I thought of that a long time ago. I called Harumi and asked her to call your mom and tell her that she was ill so you were staying with her," Rei explained.
"Oh, ok," Kira replied, sighing in relief.
"Here you are," the waitress said, placing the large white plate piled sky high with food in front of Rei, then giving Kira her orange juice.
His face brightened immediately at the sight of so much food.
Although Kira wasn't hungry before, seeing all of Rei's meal made her feel snackish.
"You're not going to eat all that by yourself are you?" Kira asked with a small smile.
"Of course, that's exactly why I ordered it!" Rei said, picking up his knife and fork.
Kira rolled her eyes and picked up her fork and attempted to take a piece of his egg.
He used his knife to defend his food.
"Hands off!" he said jokingly.
"Come on, I'm hungry too you know!" Kira cried.
"That's why you should have ordered," Rei insisted.
Kira replied by giving pouting and he surrendered.
For a few moments they could pretend that everything was perfect and that they'd never have to face the outside world or Brian again.
On Monday morning everyone seemed to be back to normal. Kira meet Rei at the park where they first met and walked to school together.
As they walked up the stairs Kira could feel Brian's gaze burning into her back.
Rei felt how tense she became, and squeezed her hand for support.
She replied by looking up at him and smiling. She'd never felt so lucky to have Rei as her boyfriend in her life.
He walked her to her first period class.
"Thank you," she said softly.
"What for?" he questioned, running a hand through his long blonde hair.
"Everything," Kira replied giving him her most genuine smile.
All of a sudden Rei began to blush. His face reddened twice as much when she kissed him on the cheek.
"You're welcome I guess," Rei replied.
She gave him a nod before going into her classroom and taking her seat. Kira's smile faded when she saw Brian sitting next to her.
