XD wonderful reviews! Fufufufu, I am one happy pot now. (wait a minute, how HAPPY can a POT get? --) I still haven't gotten ANY inspiration for my other story so here's an apology to all who have been waiting for an update.
Usual disclaimers apply.
Day 1: Tsukoshi?!
"TSUKUSHI!" Shigeru greeted with a sunny smile as she opened the door to Tsukushi's office. Tsukushi sat at her desk with a huge mountain of paperwork and did not bother looking up. After all, Shigeru ALWAYS dropped by for a 'visit'.
"Did he call you?!" She sat down, uninvited mind you, on the plushy seat and asked excitedly.
"Shigeru, I am currently very busy at the moment, as you can see." Tsukushi said, mildly annoyed. "Unlike you, I have to slog my way through so that I can at least have a roof over my head and food on the table, Miss Okawahara Shigeru."
"Oh come on! It's not as if you're begging for food now right?" Shigeru waved her hand dismissively as she settled in rather comfortably into the seat. "SO, has he asked you out yet?"
Tsukushi looked at Shigeru and looked back at her paperwork, ignoring Shigeru.
"Awww, come on Tsukushi!" Shigeru pleaded. "Come on, tell me!" Tsukushi put her pen down and sighed again.
"Shigeru...." Before she could finish her sentence, her secretary came in, armed with a huge bouquet of roses and grinning rather widely. Shigeru's eyes widened as well, while Tsukushi, well Tsukushi just sat there.
"WAH! SO MANY ROSES!" Shigeru bounced up from the chair and grabbed the bouquet. "And there's a CARD!" She squealed excitedly. Tsukushi dismissed her secretary silently and watched as Shigeru pranced about the room.
"25...26...27...28...29...30...30 roses! Wow!"
"Shigeru, if you don't mind..." Tsukushi held her hand out. Shigeru pouted and handed the bouquet over. The roses were a lovely shade of pink, baby pink in fact. Tsukushi held them close and took in the fragrance from them. She was a sucker for fresh roses.
"Open the envelope!" Shigeru hissed. Tsukushi looked at Shigeru, mildly annoyed and opened the ornately decorated card. She pursed her lips together, frowning as she read on. Shigeru looked at her with much curiousity.
"His handwriting is disgusting." She blithely said before Shigeru grabbed the card from her. "I can't read a damn thing he is writing." The squeamish, squiggly words seemed like curly lines instead of, well, words. "He spelt my name wrongly too, Tsukoshi. Goodness."
Just then, the phone rang. Whilst Shigeru was poring over the contents of the card, Tsukushi picked it up.
"Makino Tsukushi speaking."
"Did you receive my flowers?" A deep voice came from the other end. Tsukushi mouthed the word 'Tsukasa' to Shigeru who promptly discarded the attempt to interpret the handwriting and looked at Tsukushi eagerly.
"Yes, I did. They are lovely, thank you."
"And the card?"
"Unfortunately, your handwriting was illegible. I could not read a damn thing." Shigeru stifled a giggle.
"WHAT?!" Tsukasa bellowed over the phone. Just then, some background commotion could be heard as another male's voice shouted rather loudly, 'Tsukasa!' There was more shushing as Tsukasa's voice came on again. Tsukushi was rather amused. His three other friends at the club the other day were probably with him.
"Ahem. I am...what Akira? ...I am sorry for my horrible handwriting. It was done in a rush you see."
"Oh." Tsukushi tried hard to hide the amusement in her voice, raising an eyebrow at Shigeru as Shigeru exploded into giggles.
"I just wanted to ask you to watch a movie with me tonight. The Princess theatre, 7pm. I'll pick you up."
"Okay then, I'll see you then." Tsukushi smiled and hung up immediately. Shigeru clutched her stomach as she looked at Tsukushi.
"You've got a rich date Tsukushi! A baka but wealthy date at that!" She laughed again as she exploded into laughter. Tsukushi merely picked the card up and threw it into the rubbish bin, where it belonged.
"Wish me luck." She sighed again. 10 days. How the hell was she going to get past it with a guy who couldn't even spell her name?
"WHAT THE HELL!?! She just hung up on me!" Tsukasa slammed the phone down, rather crossed. "Look Tsukasa, you're not going to even get past the first night if you can't even control your temper." Soujiro said as he let out a big sigh. Akira nodded in agreement. "You can't stay calm over the telephone."
"Damn her! How could she criticize my handwriting?!"
"You never could write properly Tsukasa." Akira pointed out truthfully. Tsukasa gave him a good, hard kick in the shin, sending Akira into a painful howl. Soujiro just shook his head.
"Perhaps Rui should go in your place." Rui was dozing off in the seat. Soujiro shook his head again. "Then again, maybe not."
"I say Tsukasa, just follow our instructions and you'll just do fine.Oh, and please spell her name right. T-S-K-U-S-H-I. " Tsukasa turned to look at Akira with a sour expression.
"I sent her the flowers and the card and all I got was a phone hung up on me!"
"She thanked you at least, AND agreed to go out with you tonight."
"She criticized my handwriting!"
"Your ego be DAMNED, Tsukasa." Soujiro said firmly. "You need to get the girl first!"
"But!"
"Virigns are ALWAYS troublesome. Soujiro, I say we drop the bet and let Tsukasa dear e the virgin he always has been." Akira drawled, flipping his long tresses. Soujiro merely looked bored.
"FINE! I'll do it." Akira and Soujiro sat up really quickly at that statement. Tsukasa crossed his arms and settled into the couch.
"First, you'll need to get her roses again. Flowers always work best with women." "Make sure you have a posh car to impress her." "Open the door for her so that she can get out." "Never let her get out herself." "Comment on how nice her dress is." "Comment on how lovely she looks." "Try to hold her hand." "After the movie, bring her to the hotel and you're on your way man!" The two said triumphantly. "Follow this tried and tested SoujiroXAkira dating method and you've got her." Tsukasa looked at them with a confused expression.
"Um Jiro. Why the hotel? Shouldn't I take her home?" Akira and Soujiro groaned in unison.
"That's why I say virgins are the most troublesome people on earth." Soujiro shook his head again.
R.E.V.I.E.W! crappy chapter, but the best I could come up in my current frame of mind. -- review! It wouldn't hurt right, would it? :p
