Hitomi got ready for the date early. "What to wear…. It's a big enough problem to not get caught by Crawford…." Hitomi had trouble trying not to be too obvious in public and dressing up as who she was at the same time. She finally threw on a jean skirt and a shirt. She then waited in her room and checked whether she looked okay. A knock came on her door. She opened it to find Yohji in jeans and a shirt and wearing his trench coat.
"Good evening, my lady. I see we are dressed to kill, ne?" He winked and offered his arm.
"Pure coincidence." Hitomi blushed lightly and put on her own trench coat and walked straight to the door.
"Why, do I see Yohji having a date?" Ken stuck out his head from the kitchen. "I don't believe my eyes. Yohji has a date!" Ken exclaimed.
"Shut up if you know what's good for you." Yohji glared at Ken.
"You two have fun, okay!" Omi smiled as he came out of his room.
"Whatever." Hitomi blushed.
"We'll have fun." Yohji winked at Omi and escorted Hitomi out.
The two ate dinner at a restaurant chosen by Yohji. "He has taste. This restaurant has a relaxing ambience." Hitomi taught as she sipped her water. They were done with dinner and dessert. Yohji had paid the bill.
"Shall we take a walk?" Yohji asked and stood up.
"Okay."
They walked in a nearby park. There was a breeze that night. They got to know each other a bit more than usual and Hitomi didn't realize that they were talking like old friends and she enjoyed it. Before they knew it, they were at her room door.
"Well, here we are. It wasn't so bad, was it?" Yohji asked. "What say we do it again?" Yohji asked.
"No, I don't think so." Hitomi said, blushing. "Why not? You enjoyed it tonight, right?" Yohji trapped Hitomi on the wall using his hands.
"Oh come on Yohji. You got your date. You won the bet. What more do you want?" Hitomi blushed hot.
"I have to admit that I have fallen for you, Hitomi." Yohji blushed himself.
"What? No. It's a joke. Right?" Hitomi laughed.
"No. I really have fallen for you."
"Stop it. You're carrying your joke real well, but I ain't falling for it." Hitomi protested.
"It's true! I'm telling you the truth!"
"Yohji, we both know – " Hitomi was cut short, as Yohji had kissed her. Lip to lip.
"What was that?" Hitomi blushed.
"I'm… I'm sorry I had to do that. It was to tell you that I have really fallen for you. I'm not lying or playing a joke. Look, if you feel the same way as I do, you'll accept this rose." Yohji took out a red rose from his jacket and held it. Without noticing, Hitomi took the rose from his hand.
"What – What did I just do?" she asked when she realized what she had done.
"You took the rose from me. Which means that you have also fallen for me. I'm so sorry I kissed you without warning. Now you don't realize what you're doing." Yohji smiled and shook his head. "Hitomi… May I kiss you again?" Yohji whispered.
"Yes…" Hitomi whispered back. They both kissed again and this time, Hitomi wasn't surprised or anything. When they parted, Yohji said "Good night, Hitomi. Sweet dreams." And smiled as he walked to his room. Hitomi smiled and blushed as she waved at him and went into her own room. "Yohji Kudou… Who would ever think that we would be together…" Hitomi smiled at the rose in her hand and went to sleep.
"Ah… Here come the lovers!" Ken greeted as Hitomi and Yohji went to the kitchen for breakfast.
"Good morning you two! I heard you had fun last night!" Omi chimed in.
"Who would know… Yohji would get serious…" Ken joked.
"And he does have good taste, ne?" Omi joined Ken.
"Oh yes…. He does…. But he needs to work on his confessions… they're not that good…." Ken had to almost bite his tongue to stop himself from laughing out hard.
"You mean you guys saw – us?!?!?!" Hitomi exclaimed.
"Oh, I would say we saw you by accident." Ken smiled as he sat down.
"Then that means you two spied on us!" Hitomi almost completely shouted at Ken.
"No! No, not the both of us! Ken was the one who did the spying! He just told me everything he saw this morning." Omi said innocently but with a wide grin on his face.
"Oh, I don't blame you, Omi. You're not like Ken." Hitomi turned to a laughing Ken.
"Why you…" Yohji grabbed Ken by his shirt and was about to punch him square in the face when Aya entered the kitchen.
"What in the world is happening here?" Aya asked.
"Um… I'm sure you're aware of what happened yesterday night, Aya." Omi said.
"So? Oh… You mean these two?" Aya gestured to Hitomi and Yohji. Omi nodded. "I see. Yes, they make a good pair, don't they?" Aya smiled and sat down.
"Did I just see Aya smile?" Hitomi forgot Ken and stared at Aya.
"You did." Omi said.
"Why, can't I smile? Now, get your breakfast before we are late for work. The couple needs to realize that too." Aya said in his usual tone.
