The next morning Oboro woke up with a feeling that said: Today is it! This is your chance! Take it, or leave it! She jumped out of her bed and grabbed her nicest pieces of clothing. "This matches this the most and, Oh! This bracelet is so cute! It totally IS the finishing touch to this outfit! Lord Takumi HAS to notice this!"
On the other side of the camp Hinata woke up a little later. He had thought about yesterday whole night. "It's now or never Hinata! Let's show lord Takumi how awesome I am!" He grabbed the first clothes he saw and put them on. When he was about to leave the room he thought of something: "Oh, shoot! I gotta shine the brightest today! I'll show lord Takumi what I'm capable of! I'm a nice guy! I can take care of myself and my looks!" Whit a smile as bright as it possibly could he went downstairs. He whistled his favorite song and greeted everybody he saw on his way. Then he saw Oboro looking in the mirror.
"Hey Oboro! If you want lord Takumi, well, you'll have to try your hardest! Today is gonna be my day!"
"Yeah, yeah, whatever." Oboro said while looking in the mirror. She barely heard what Hinata said but didn't want to lose her focus so she didn't ask what he said. Hinata went further and Oboro finally got the perfect outfit together. "Oh yes! This is it! I finally have the perfect outfit!"
Takumi walked past her door. "Oh, good morning Oboro! That really does seem the perfect outfit! It looks very stylish and it looks great on you!"
"Thank you lord Takumi! I always try to look cool, I mean, I am the retainer of such a cool person! I need to reflect your coolness! Haha!"
"Haha, thank you Oboro! I'll be downstairs, see you later!"
Takumi left and Oboro closed the door so nobody would hear her. Then she made a scream of happiness. "I knew he'd notice it! Haha!"
When Takumi went downstairs he saw Hinata. "Hey Hinata, good morning!"
"Hey lord Takumi! I have a feeling that this is gonna be a wonderful day!"
"Good! I was hoping it would be nice weather again today!"
"Yeah! Maybe we could do something together!"
"Oh...?" Takumi said with a little bit of hasitation.
"Uhhh... we could climb a mountain together! That would sharpen our condition! But only if you want to?"
"Yeah sounds pretty cool! I'll look forward to it!" Takumi nodded and went to see what was for breakfast today.
Hinata was pretty happy. Their moment together would be today. He started imagining what it would be like: A hot day... He and his crush climbing a mountain... Maybe it would be so hot for Takumi that he would be sweaty... and then he had to...
"Hinata?"
He had to...
"Hinata? Hello?"
Hinata opened his eyes and saw Oboro leaning over him. "Day dreaming again?" she said. "Probably about lord Takumi again, right?" she grinned.
"Oh yeah, we're gonna climb that mountain today! I asked him and he thought it was a wonderfull idea!"
"Soooo... I guess he doesn't know about your romantic intentions does he?" Oboro said still grinning.
"N-no... It's not important... This is a start."
"I wasn't planning to let my chances go away." Oboro said. "I'm about to ask him to go to town with me this evening. Just to go to the bazaar after dinner, and drink something after that! It will be so romantic!"
Oboro walked to Takumi. "Hey Takumi, I heard you and Hinata were gonna climb a mountain?"
"Yes," Takumi said, "he said it would be good for our condition."
Oboro grinned again and said: "For your condition? Oh, I see. Well I was wondering if you would like to go to the bazaar after dinner? It would be good for us to relaxe a bit. We could go buy stuff and they maybe drink something from one of those cute shops?"
"I think you're right, we do need some time to relax! Maybe Hinata would like to come too?"
"Uhhhhhh... NOOOoooo! I just asked him and he was planning to train some after dinner. Right Hinata?" Oboro looked with a begging face at Hinata.
"Oh yeah, sorry I had plans already."
Oboro signed: Thank you! to Hinata. And she looked back at Takumi. "I'll come seek for you after dinner, all right?"
"Sure Oboro, see you then!"
They all went to have breakfast. Hinata as well as Oboro imagined what their special time with lord Takumi would be like. So deep that Oboro forgot to eat at all. Hinata imagined him and Takumi walking on the mountain again:
"Phew lord Takumi! This is quite challenging!" Hinata said while he was climbing with Takumi next to him.
"Yeah! I know! And you don't need to say 'lord' now. When it's just the two of us, you don't have to behave so formal."
"Cool, Takumi!"
"Well, now that we're alone anyway... I want to confess something!"
"You can tell me anything friend!" Hinata said while he tried to hide his blushing.
"I always thought you were cute..."
"What do you mean Takumi?" Hinata quickly said with open mouth.
"You heard me! I like you, no, in fact I love you!"
"Wow Takumi! Is that true? Because I always had feelings for you! I just didn't knew I had them for a very long time!"
"I'm really glad to hear that! Let's just stop walking for a moment. I want to see the beautiful sight together with you! Let's sit down for a minute." said Takumi.
Hinata nodded and they sat down. Takumi putted his hand on Hinata's and they both blushed.
Takumi reached out for him... it was almost like he wanted a kiss...
Hinata then remembered that they were still eating breakfast. Almost every plate was empty. He only had two bites. Only one plate was still full, Oboro's plate. She was staring at her plate like she had forgotten everything and was totally lost in thoughts. She daydreamed about what their evening at the bazaar would be like:
"Hey Lord Takumi! You gotta see this! It's so stylish!"
Takumi came to Oboro and said: "Wow! Stylish indeed! You should try that dress on, to see if it fits you!"
"Yeah, how clever of you!" Oboro said and she walked to the dressing room. When an old man said to her:
"You have a good style young lady. If it doesn't fit, we have more sizes hanging there" He pointed at the different sizes.
"Thank you." Oboro said and she went to the dressing room to try the dress. "Stylish! Let's see what lord Takumi thinks of it!" She walked out of the dressing room and showed it to Takumi while he was staring with an open mouth.
Takumi said: "Oboro... you truly look beautiful in that! It seems to be made for you! And it makes your eyes look even more charming than always!" He blushed a little bit.
"Thank you lord Takumi!" She whispered to herself: "Don't faint of joy now! Don't faint!"
"I'll pay this one for you!"Takumi said.
"Thanks!"
They walked some more on the market and then they reached town square. It was sunset so it looked beautiful. Oboro looked at Takumi. Takumi looked back at Oboro. When she noticed him looking back she nervously looked down.
"Is something wrong Oboro?" Takumi asked.
"Yeah, I should have told you before..." She replied.
"What?" Takumi said.
"That I..."
Takumi interrupted. He said: "That you love me too?"
"Y-you too? What do you mean lord Takumi?"
"You don't need to say 'lord' now. When it's just the two of us, you don't have to behave so formal."
"Oh Sure, Takumi..."
"I know that you have feelings for me! And... I love you too!"
"...BUT how did you know?"
"Shhh, Oboro." He put his finger on her lips. "It doesn't matter, all that matters is that we love eachother. Let's enjoy this beautiful moment together, just you and me. Looking at the sunset."
"Y-yes, I'm just still so shocked! I'm so happy!"
"We can be happy together...!" Takumi kneels.
Oboro looked even more shocked! "Are you asking me to... to marry you?"
"..."
Oboro's hand slipped and she fell with her face in her breakfast. Everyone looked at her. Many people were grinning, but Takumi came to her and asked if everything was all right?
"Y-yeah I'm fine... There is food all over my face, right...?"
"Yep..." Takumi said.
Hinata came to her with a towel and gave it to her. "Yikes, that damaged your reputation"
Oboro wiped off the food and looked at Takumi and Hinata. "Thanks Hinata, and you too lord Takumi, for worrying."
