Paku and Konekomaru's Date:
It was awkward, there was no need to deny that. Konekomaru snuck a glance up at the girl that he was walking next to. By the look on her face, she was a little lost on what she was supposed to do. Now that, he could understand. What the heck had Izumo been thinking anyway? Dates? Why would she want to do anything like that? It wasn't for her own benefit, that was for sure...
But then why?
"Why don't we go get something to eat? I'm kind of hungry." Paku said pointing over to a fast food place they were going by.
Konekomaru agreed, and he opened the glass door, letting Paku head in first. They got a few things, then went to sit by one of the booths. The large window showed the streets, with people walking by every little while.
"Say, Paku." Konekomaru started, after he'd finished taking a bite of his burger. "You're Izumo's best friend, right?"
The girl nodded as she went to take a sip of her soft drink.
"Do you know why she wanted to do this 'date game'?"
Paku frowned slightly, before shaking her head. "You know, I've been wondering about that ever since she suggested it. Izumo's not the type to go for these kinds of games. I was really surprised she suggested it, honestly."
He nodded and the silence ensued, though luckily, it was more in contemplation then awkwardness. At least that was an improvement.
Konekomaru was broken out of his thoughts a little later as Paku gasped in surprise. He looked up and followed where she was looking.
Right outside the window, Rin and Bon were heading down the street. That wasn't necessarily surprising. The two had slowly grown closer as the months went by. No, what was surprising was that they had their hands clasped together.
As Konekomaru watched, they shared a look, slowly leaned into each other... and then kissed.
And he just gaped, his jaw dropping to the floor.
Paku on the other hand, turned pink and gasped again. "That's why she did it!"
Konekomaru started at the sight beyond the window, then turned to her and blinked. He couldn't get any words out either way, but Paku didn't notice that.
"That's why!" Paku giggled, her eyes sparkling.
"Huh...?" Was the only thing Konekomaru could get out. His world had turned slightly. Not that he was disgusted or anything like that. No, it was just... Not what he expected...
But the more he thought about it, the more it made sense.
Bon and Rin...
They made sense.
"Is that...?" Paku's voice brought him out again.
Konekomaru looked out the window and saw Yukio and Shima... "Whaaa?"
Paku giggled.
A/N: Thank you for reading! I think there will be one more chapter and then it'll be done. I'm sorry it took so long, though! I went back and did a bit of editing but nothing big just spell checks and sentence structure things.
Thank you for all the reviews! Love them! and again, I'm so sorry it took me so long!
