I am long overdue with this one, I owe it to Twoface21. Sorry it took forever and a half! And look! More that 100 words! Comments welcome.
NOT a Date
He had said it so many times that she had believed him.
For a while.
And then she looked up the word and understood it's meaning, but …it still didn't help. From what she knew of Soul Society, she didn't think such a thing existed. And if it did, she had never taken part in the any of the activities.
So…what to expect?
Nothing really.
For all she knew it was just an outing. Another reason to go exploring in the human world and learn more things about it.
Boy did she learn!
A contraption that plays moving images on a HUGE screen, all while sitting in comfy chairs and eating something that is light, salty, and buttery.
And then, after that, going to a place that sells something like noodles, only heavier, with a yummy red sauce, that always seemed to stain the corner of her mouth.
And finally, after being well fed and well entertained, going on a nice walk through a quiet park and sitting near a pretty lake, where the reflection of the stars shone through the still surface.
After all this, she turned to her companion and asked him, "Is this the part where we kiss?"
He spluttered in response. She absently patted his back, patiently waiting for his answer. After some time, he finally managed, "I told you already this is –"
"—not a date, I know. But, from what I've read, it fits the description."
He could only grunt.
She waited.
And waited.
And when she finally realized that he was going to make no move, she muttered his name in a frustrated huff and made it for him.
Really. She had heard that in the human world, blondes were stupid. She wondered why red-heads weren't also taken into account.
