Sousuke meanwhile, walked home ith a broad smile on his face, whistling a happy tune to himself. This wasn't quite how he'd imagined things would go with Gin, but he was pleased with how it had turned out.

I hope he calls soon, he thought to himself. We can talk more then.

Kyouka snorted. Brave of you to assume he'll have enough functioning braincells to not go quiet while on the line with you, she said. I mean, you've seen how much of a disaster he is around you...

Sousuke just smirked. I think once he gets past his nerves, he might just surprise the both of us.

Hmm, well, here's hoping, she replied. As adorable as he is when he' falling all over himself around you, I do actually want to see you lovebirds get together sometime soon.

You and me both, Sousuke smiled. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

Agreed, Kyouka nodded. Until then I guess we'll both just have to sit and wait by the phone until he calls and hope he doesn't take too long.

Sousuke sighed. That was the part of this he wasn't exactly looking forward to. Especially if Gin took days or even weeks to call him up. Unfortunately yes, he said. But if he does call, it'll be worth it.

Oh yes, it will, Kyouka agreed. Because then I'll get to watch you fail so damn hard at trying to be smooth.

Sousuke groaned inwardly. Hey, I was smooth when I gave him my phone number, he argued.

Yes, but that was a one off, she countered him. Law of averages says you'll fail more often than not. Especially considering how love makes you dumb and you love him an awful lot...

Sousuke sighed again. Hoping he wouldn't have to endure her teasing for very long before Gin called him up and he could prove her wrong.
