Haruka Nanase and Sousuke Yamazaki were sitting opposite one another, glancing around the cafe they were both forced and unwilling to go to. A blind date as it were. Haruka sighed placing his chin on the palm of his hand. He peeked over at the teen opposite him and a small smile graced his lips as he caught the taller teen averting his eyes away from him. How did they get into the situation in the first place?

"Oh come on Sousuke, it'll be fun." Rin nudged his best friend encouraging.

"No way!" He shook his head furiously, "I'm not going to meet some stranger."

"He's no stranger." Rin mumbled to himself.

"What?" Sousuke questioned.

"It won't hurt to at least go." Rin frowned. "You might even enjoy yourself."

"You're not going to drop this are you?" Sousuke scowled.

"Nope." Rin smirked.

"Alright fine." The butterfly swimmer flung his arms up in defeat, hunching his shoulders as Rin flung his arm around him.

"You won't regret this!"

"Haru-chan please!" Nagisa begged, following the raven haired teen around his house.

"Nagisa I don't want to." Haru rounded on the pestering blonde, before turning again and heading into his kitchen.

"Makoto-chan help me out!" Nagisa called out to the brunette, keeping his eye on the evading free style swimmer.

"It won't hurt Haru, I'm sure he's very nice." They heard Makoto from the other room.

"See." Nagisa smiled. "It'll be fun Haru-chan, trust me."

Haruka turned to find Nagisa's eyes sparkling, puppy eyes aimed at the free style swimmer, causing Haru's resolve to fail. He watched as Nagisa's bottom lip popped out, pouting innocently at the conflicted teen.

"Fine." Haru crossed his arms. Nagisa fisted the air and hugged his victim.

"You won't regret this!"

"I'm assuming you weren't expecting me?" Haruka voiced. Sousuke jumped slightly at the voice filling the silence, before turning to his so called 'date'.

"No." Sousuke answered arms crossed, "I didn't even want to do this."

"Neither." Haru sat up straighter, circling the table with his finger.

"Do you want to just leave?" The taller teen suggested.

"Am I that repulsive?" Haruka pouted teasingly at the flustered Sousuke.

"No, that's not what I meant." Shaking his hands in defensive. "We both don't want to be here, we could just leave and carry on with our day."

"If you're hungry, I could eat." Haru shrugged, hinting to the menus beside him. Sousuke followed Haru's line of sight. Conflict flickered in his eyes, he wanted to leave but didn't want to seem rude since Rin had asked him to play nice with Haru. Sousuke shrugged and grabbed a menu, knowing he'd get a meal out of it. He noticed Haru peeking at him from over his menu and narrowed his brow as Haru continued to stare at him. Sousuke finally placed his menu down a little harshly and acknowledged the peeping tom.

"What?"

"You've been staring at that for ten minutes." Haru pointed out. Sousuke flushed in embarrassment, bringing the menu up in front of his face, refusing to let Haruka see him. He thought he heard a little giggle come from Haru but before he could investigate, Haru had pulled down the shield he was using and forced him to let go of it.

"Just choose something." Haru ordered, pointing to the menu on the table.

"There's too much on here." Sousuke grumbled, "I can't decide."

"How about this one?" Haru's slender finger tapped against the laminated paper.

"Mackerel and pineapple pizza?" Sousuke's asked in disbelief, his stomach flipping at the thought of such a disgusting concoction. Haru nodded and called a waiter over.

"Two mackerel and pineapple pizzas please." Haru ordered while Sousuke was still processing how anyone would consume such a thing.

"It's actually really nice." Haruka smirked at the repugnance on Sousuke's face.

"We'll see." Sousuke crossed his arms in challenge, his heart fluttering slightly as Haru smiled genuinely at him.

"So who persuaded you?" Haru asked curiously.

"Rin, he wouldn't drop it until I gave in." Sousuke rolled his eyes, "And you?"

"Nagisa with a little help from Makoto." Haruka sighed, "Nagisa is a little ball of annoying."

Sousuke let out a genuine laugh, causing Haruka's body to warm up, his laugh making Haru uncomfortable, in a way Haru had never experienced before, a good uncomfortable.

"Do you think they're watching?" Sousuke whispered.

"Probably, Rin is pretty nosey." Haru glanced out the window, checking for a wisp of red hair. Haru was distracted by his search as his pizza was placed in front of him. They thanked the waiter and Haruka let out a quiet chuckle as Sousuke began prodding the pizza in repulsion and scowled at the pizza.

"Are you sure this is edible?" Sousuke eyed Haru in suspicion. Haru nodded, taking a piece for himself and biting into it.

"Just try it." Haru rolled his eyes as Sousuke continued to prod the abomination in front of him. Haru sighed as Sousuke ignored him. Haru took it upon himself to get Sousuke to try his pride and joy. He picked up a piece from which he hadn't bitten into and brought it to Sousuke's mouth. Sousuke flinched away and pushed Haru's hand away.

"What are you doing?" Sousuke growled, slightly taken aback by Haru's boldness.

"Trying to get you to eat." Haruka snapped back, forcing the pizza into the teens mouth. "Now bite."

Sousuke shook his head, he mumbled angrily, as Haru began stuffing it further into his mouth.

"Please?" Haruka pleaded, causing Sousuke pause, searching Haru's face before he bit down on the pizza, chewing it slowly. Sousuke's face morphed from disgust to surprise to satisfaction.

"Well what do you know." Sousuke swallowed, taking another bite from the pizza from Haru's hand, "That's pretty good."

"Told you." Haruka smiled in triumph and digged into his own pizza after feeding the rest of the slice to Sousuke. They finished in record time and Sousuke offered to pay the bill much to Haru's objection. They made their way outside and stood side by side for a moment before Sousuke offered to walk Haru home. They made their way slowly, peeking at one another, trying to catch the others eye. Sousuke walked Haruka to the door and scratched his neck awkwardly.

"Thanks for lunch." Haru spoke out, knowing Sousuke was anxious.

"Thanks for convincing me to stay." Sousuke smiled. "Do you want to go out again?"

Haru's eyes widen slightly at the question and his eyes sparkled ever so slightly before he masked his features once more.

"Like a proper date?" Haru asked.

"Yeah, a proper date." Sousuke replied.

"I'd love to." Haruka nodded, accepting the invitation. He leaned up and forward to place a quick peck on Sousuke's cheek before heading inside and closing the door behind him. Sousuke placed a hand over his cheek and grinned giddily as he walked with a spring in his step back to Samezuka Academy. To Sousuke's luck Rin was reading on his bunk, waiting for him to return. Rin grinned cheekily as he emerged and sat up, chucking his book away.

"I expected you back earlier."

"I bet you did." Sousuke punched the red head on the shoulder and climbed up onto his bunk as Rin grunted in pain.

"So how did it go?" Rin popped his head up, standing on the ladder.

"Good." Sousuke whispered, annoyed at Rin's prying but excited to tell his best friend.

"Are you going to pursue?" Rin asked, far to nosey to leave it at that.

"Wouldn't you like to know." Sousuke raised a brow and laughed as Rin pouted and nuzzled the teens shoulder.

"Come on."

"We're going on another date." Sousuke gave in, smiling in content as Rin grinned in satisfaction.

"I knew you guys were great for each other." Rin winked. "Did you get a little something on the side?"

Sousuke rolled his eyes and pushed Rin, causing the boy to yelp and fall to the floor, grasping his arse in pain. Sousuke crawled to the edge, throwing one of his pillow at the red heads face.

"I got a kiss on the cheek."

Rin looked at him skeptically, earning another pillow to the face. "Alright alright, just a peck on the cheek."

"Thank you." Sousuke sighed, "Now, how's your progress going with Rei?"
