"Stop, Tohru's home," I walked out of the room with Josh following. He sighed as we stepped out of the room. We went down the stairs and I led him to Torhu, "Tohru, this is Josh Sohma. He's going to be staying a night with us,"
She bowed, "Nice to meet you Josh-San," He bowed back and stared deep into her eyes. She just stared right back, unknowing of what she was letting him do.
"Nice to meet you to Tohru Salo Honda," his gaze kept on her for more information.
"How did you know my middle name?" she seemed to be in a trance.
His gaze slipped from her and looked at me. Then he looked back and smiled, "Lucky guess,"
She smiled back, "That was amazing,"
Yuki walked up to Tohru and looked at Josh. I spoke, "Josh, this is Yuki,"
Josh stared intently at Yuki. Yuki stared right back as if thinking it was a staring contest. It took him less time to find what he was looking for, "Nice to meet you," he smiled.
"Yes, nice to meet you, too, Josh," he looked away and then walked off. I pulled Josh over to Kyo.
"Josh, this is Kyo,"
Josh took even less time with Kyo, "Nice to meet you,"
My phone rang and I answered it, "Hello..." it was Motoko, "Yes, this is her... Uh, watching TV... I gue...Yeah, he does... Dinner?...I think we're having steamed leeks, noodles, pork, biscuits, and tea...Oh sure...Gotchya. Tomorrow, in front of the flagpole?..I'll be there. Bye," I closed my phone and smiled.
"And who was that sweetheart?" Josh put his left arm around me.
"Oh jus...What did you call me?" I knew what he said, but it surprised me.
"Sweetheart, I thought we could come up with sweet names for each other," It felt good to be called a cute name and he knew it, that's why he said it.
"Oh," I bit my lip thinking of a name. Lover? No, to personal. How about cutie pie? No, to girly. Boo boo? No, to..Yogi Bear..How can he come up with names so quickly? He smiled, reading my thoughts, "Pooky?"
"Pooky?" he seemed insulted. Then he smiled, "Okay, pooky," Then he leaned down and whispered into my ear, "But when we're alone I wouldn't mind Lover," I slightly laughed. Even though we're not "Lovers". We're still in love , so that could mean we're "Love-rs" I'm good.
"Pooky it is then,"
Tohru ran up to us, "Your going out! Are you in love?" I was shocked. I didn't know what to say.
"I like to think we are. We haven't made it official," Josh gave me a glance and smiled.
"Well?" she stared at both of us.
Josh turned to me, "Malchina Narcissa Sohma, will you go out with me?" Everyone turned and looked at us. To me it sounded like a proposal. If he just had a ring and was down on his knee, I would be crying.
"Yes, I will go out with you, Joshua Tallen Sohma," I smiled and we hugged.
"How stupid," Kyo whispered turning back and watching the TV.
"I'm going to get some junk food," Josh slipped his hand into my pocket and took out my keys, "And don't mind me borrowing the bike," He walked off. I didn't dare stop him because he had to do exactly what Akito hired him to do.
"Yuki, let's go outside. I want to get pictures of you," I grabbed his arm and brought him outside.
When we got outside, he stood and looked at me. I put my camera up to my face and took pictures. He just stared blankly at me, "Smile, come on. Give me a cute pose," He kept staring at me. I put the camera down and walked over to him. Then I grabbed his arm and put it on his hip. I took a step back and took a picture, "You're so boring," I sighed and stepped into the house. He started to walk, but stopped. I continued on and left the door open, even though, I knew he wouldn't be coming in for a bit. I walked to the kitchen to help Tohru.
