Chapter 3: Found out
This one will be longer I promise! (well mostly promise…)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
They ran into the building fifteen minutes late. They sat at their desks, while simultaneously getting yelled at for being late. They sat down and glanced at one another. Neither one of them smirked until the other had turned their head.
A few minutes later Robin decided to chance another glance at Sakaki. He apparently had very interesting reports to look into, his face looked as though he was concentrating very hard on it. Robin was slightly disappointed. She had trouble concentrating, she kept reliving the ride with Sakaki, he apparently had no such thoughts on his mind. It seemed that to him it was only a ride with a friend to a diner. 'Oh well.' She thought. 'At least I can still admire him without notice.' She smiled to herself as she once again thought about how cute his hair was, all messy like that.
While Robin was thinking to herself about how absorbed in his work Sakaki looked, Sakaki himself was reliving the ride with Robin over and over, in great detail. The great detail he was able to come up with was the reason for his looking like he was concentrating hard on his work, for he was indeed concentrating hard. He looked at Robin, at the precise moment she looked down, and saw her concentrating on her work. She was, in fact, trying to concentrate on her work, but she was having immense difficulty. He sighed and thought that the ride had not had the same affect on her as it had him. He looked at her closer and almost laughed at the cute way her nose crinkled up when she started to concentrate even harder on her task. He, thankfully, was able to control himself and let out only a small smile.
No one noticed this little exchange between Robin and Sakaki except Dojima. (A/N: Of course Dojima noticed right? What better things does she actually have to do than notice this???) She watched, entertained by the whole thing. She smiled to herself when she realized what was going on. She had only guessed before, she had not seen the good morning greeting of Robin. She figured that one of them had wanted that lunch to be more of a date. She didn't say anything, of course, because she didn't want to spoil it for them. It was quite cute once you thought about it. So she decided she would help the two hopeless ones get together.
"So Sakaki," began Dojima. "I have to ask you a question in the conference room, can you spare a minute?" She walked into the room not even waiting for a reply. She knew Sakaki would take a break to talk to her gladly, anything to get away from the boring paperwork.
"So Dojima," said Sakaki as he walked into the room. "What did you want with me?" Dojima sat down on a chair and faced him, pointing at another chair. Taking the hint Sakaki sat down. "Well?" he asked. "What do you want?"
"Well Haruto," she delicately began, "I wanted to know what you thought of Robin." Sakaki knew from the moment she used his first name what the question would be. He sighed and laid back, putting his hands behind his head. He pretended to think about the question for a bit before answering.
"She's cool, really nice, I like her." He said coolly like he was talking about Dojima herself.
"No that's not what I mean and you know it." She said while looking at him with a light smile.
"Really? I have no idea what you're talking about!" Sakaki replied with mock clueless ness.
"Fine then, if you want to play stupid I'll be more specific. Do you think Robin is pretty? Hot? Sexy? All of the above? Work with me Haruto." She said with a silly expression matching each description. Sakaki sighed and slouched forward. Dojima had taken longer than expected to figure out that he liked her but it was out and he knew she would now find amusement in trying to set them up. He didn't like being just some amusement to Dojima, he would rather go on without her interfering. So he got up and went back to work.
"Hey! You didn't answer me!" called out Dojima as Sakaki walked out of the room. Sakaki did not feel like playing around today, or ever with this, for that matter. He continued his course to his computer without looking back at Dojima.
"What was that about?" asked Michael as Sakaki sat down.
"Nothing, just ignore it." replied Sakaki shaking his head. Robin peered over curious, wondering if it had anything to do with the lunch they had taken together. Knowing Dojima it was, and Sakaki probably was accused of liking Robin, but Sakaki did not like her. This thought saddened Robin as she continued on her work.
As the day came to an end everyone started to put their things away and shut down their computers. They all left one by one. Robin and Sakaki the last ones there, Michael had gone into the conference room to finish a couple things in there. Dojima had winked at Sakaki as she left the room only seconds before. Sakaki knew something was going to happen with this all later on. Even if he didn't say anything Dojima would not give up, not when she had the chance to match people up together. He quickly put that out of mind as he suddenly realized he was alone with Robin.
"Hey Robin," Sakaki began "want me to walk you down to your vehicle?" He somehow managed to keep cool, like it was a friend thing or something. "You know, so you don't have to walk there alone. It's kind of creepy, even if you can protect yourself you know? It is kind of dark and all…" He realized too late that he was rambling. 'Oh no!' he thought 'I don't think that if I was asking as a friend that would have happened…'
"Sure Sakaki," Robin giggled "I understand you're afraid of the dark and want me there to protect you right?" She giggled more as Sakaki blushed and replied.
"Sure, yea, that's right, let's go with that." 'Smooth… er…' he thought to himself as they entered the elevator. They walked to her moped, silent the whole time. Robin broke the silence once they reached her vehicle.
"Well, thanks for walking me down here." She leaned in and hugged him quickly then jumped on her moped and drove away calling "Good night! See you tomorrow!" Sakaki stood there for a minute blushing before he began to move, he took a step forward and Dojima walked out from behind a wall.
"Well, I think I need to have a little talk with Robin tomorrow about something." She stated as she walked to her car away from Sakaki and smiled to herself, knowing that they both liked each other. 'They would make a cute couple anyway.' She thought to herself, starting the car and driving off.
