IT IS FINALLY COMPLETE! I have finished the date and I enjoyed very much so writing it. Yes I rushed the school day, but that's because I wanted to get to the good stuff ASAP. There's only one more chapter, but I'm thinking about making a sequel story. I'm going to leave a poll on my profile with a couple ideas for a sequel since I want to see what people would be interested in reading. Thank you to everyone who has reviewed and read my stories and to people who have added me to their favorite author's list. I didn't think this story was going to be that popular and I certainly didn't think people would favorite me as an author.


First Date

The annoying as hell alarm clock was of course the first thing I saw and/or heard that morning. I hated the stupid thing, but I needed to wake up somehow. My hand groped around on the bed side table, looking desperately for the source of the beeping sound in order to shut it up. Once I found the clock, I hit it as hard as I could without breaking it. Pushing myself up, I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes and flinched slightly as the bright sun hit my face. The sun hitting my face reminded me: after clean up duty Mikuo and I were going to go on a date. I jumped out of bed instantly awake. The only problem was that I knew the day was going to drag by like a turtle because I was so looking forward to this event. I dug my uniform out of my closet and hummed a random tune while I changed. Upon entering the kitchen I found that Len had already put the toast in the toaster. "Ohaiyo!"

"Well good morning to you too. Why are you in such a chipper mood? You're usually sulking around looking for someone's head to tear off." Len was drinking a glass of milk. It looked like he was trying to drink it in one go.

I blushed and answered shyly twiddling my thumbs in my lap, "Well Mikuo asked me out on a date last night, so after clean up duty we're gonna go on a date."

Instead of giving the reaction I thought (which would be doing a spit take with his milk) Len had a look of 'finally!' on his face. The toast popped causing both of us to jump out of our skin. Grabbing both pieces of toast, he dropped one in front of me and said, "Here you go Miss. I'm-finally-going-on-a-date."

"You've never gone on a date either!" I shouted back indignantly. The strawberry jam was already sitting on the kitchen table, so I just picked up a knife and started spreading the sweet tasting topping on my toast. I caught a glance at the clock and nearly spit out of the piece of toast I had just eaten. "Len, we gotta go!"

We grabbed our things and raced out the door almost forgetting to shut and lock the front door behind us.


"So, I hear otouto-kun asked you out on a date last night," Miku-chan asked with a sly grin. We were sitting in the back of the classroom eating lunch.

The first part of the day had passed by with absolutely nothing eventful. Mikuo and I could only seem to blush whenever we saw each other, so there wasn't any conversation going on there. "Yeah he did."

"And you said yes, right?" Teto-chan pressed for my response leaning forward so that she was on the edge of her seat.

"Well duh I said yes." I couldn't help but keep glancing at the clock. I wanted the school day to end so that I could just get to my date already. Of course, I had to suffer through clean up duty first, but that wouldn't so bad since it would be with Mikuo.

"Don't worry school will end soon enough," Miku-chan had apparently noticed my constant glances at the clock.

I blushed slightly and turned to look out the window to try and hide it. "Well sorry, but you guys know this is my first date ever and it just happens to be with the guy I've had a crush on for the longest time." They already knew all this; I was just trying to get them to stop teasing me.

The bell rang and everyone raced back to their seats. Yet again I was stuck with my eyes glued to the clock, waiting desperately for it to be three o' clock.


"Rin, wake up. We have cleaning duty." Mikuo's wonderful voice broke through the fog in my mind.

I lifted up my head and fixing the bow on my head asked, "What time is it?"

"Its three ten and I've already got the supplies out. I even started cleaning up since I figured you would wake up, but apparently not," Mikuo explained what exactly was going on in the world at the current moment.

I jumped out of my seat with a sheepish grin on my face. "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to fall asleep and leave you cleaning up all by yourself!"

Mikuo chuckled softly. "It's okay. I was just sweeping up the floor again so no worries." He walked back over to where the broom was leaning against the wall and started sweeping up the dirty floor again.

I made my way over to the chalkboard and started cleaning that up again. The cleaner stuff smelled a little strong for my liking, but beggars can't be choosers. Lucky for me there weren't any injuries this time and we were able to finish up the classroom much quicker than yesterday. Neither of us said a word the entire time we were cleaning. I knew I wasn't saying anything because well…I just got the feeling that I shouldn't say anything. I guess I don't really know why I didn't say anything, but I had a little bit of a reason. Once I had finished cleaning the windows (without trying to open them this time), I placed all the supplies I had used back on the cart that had come from the closet.

Mikuo was putting the broom and dustpan away as I was doing this. "Looks like we're done here," he said in a quiet voice like he was scared to break the silence.

I hated this awkward atmosphere in the air. I didn't know why it had to be awkward just because we were going on a date. I nodded my head in reply and we silently gathered up our stuff before heading out of the school.


"Okay, no matter what I am going to make sure there is no more awkwardness between us. If it's awkward the entire time this is going to be a terrible first date," I was talking to myself as I was slipping my light gray jeans on. I was wearing a gray v-neck shirt that had buttons half way down the front of the shirt and the sleeves reached my elbows. Since the shirt was a little low cut and the buttons didn't do any good I had thrown on a white spaghetti strap shirt underneath it. I had debated for a good five minutes whether or not I should take my bow off since it was a little childish, but I just couldn't bear to part with it.

"Onee-chan, if you don't hurry up Mikuo-kun is going to be here long before you're ready!" Len hollered up the stairs.

"I'm putting some socks on!" I shouted back down the stairs. The only reason I had taken so long was because I was giving myself a mental pep talk. I needed to make sure that I wasn't any different than how I normally am. Obviously he asked me out on a date because he was interested in me at least a little bit. That means that he likes who I am, so being someone else would be a stupid move on my part. Socks on my feet I skipped down the stairs and landed with a thud at the bottom. "There, I'm ready."

Len rolled his eyes and turned back to the TV. "Make sure you're home by nine."

"Um, who's the older one here?" I asked with a raised eyebrow, hands on my hips. Len was acting like my superior and that ticked me off.

"You're my sister so for something like this I have the right to act like the older twin. I just want you to be safe and I know Mikuo will make sure that happens, but I still can't help but worry," Len explained his superiority.

A soft smile over took my scowl and I walked up to the couch. Circling my arms around my twin's neck in a hug I said in a quieter voice, "Thanks for worrying about me, but I'll be fine."

Len twisted around on the couch, got on his knees and gave me a hug right back. "I'm sure you will."

A knock on the door cause both of us to untangle our arms from around each other. "I'll be sure to be back by nine. And I have my cell, fully charged, so if you need to call you can call me." I inhaled deeply and stopped right in front of the door. Twisting the gold knob, the open door revealed just who I wanted to see standing there.

"Hey Rin. You ready to go?" Mikuo asked a little shyly. At least he was talking and didn't seem like he felt too awkward like he had earlier.

I nodded my head, by big white bow bouncing with the motion. I stepped outside and shut the door quietly behind me. After a few minutes of the two of us walking in silence, I piped up, "So um, what made you suddenly want to ask me out on a date?"

Mikuo's face instantly reddened at that question. Rubbing the back of his head with discomfort he responded, "You'll find out later. Promise." He was walking fairly close to me, but there was still some space in between us so that we were touching. He was slightly ahead of me since he was leading since he was the one who knew where we were going.

I opened my mouth slightly to ask him where we were headed, but I snapped it shut. There was the possibility that he won't tell me because he wants it to be a surprise (for whatever reason). Looking at the surroundings as we walked down the street wasn't giving away where we were going.

"Well, here we are. Sorry, but I couldn't think of any other place to go," Mikuo announced and apologized.

We were standing on the sidewalk that bordered the park. It had been years since I'd been to the park and I was sure my face was lit up with joy like a little kid. "Are you kidding? There's definitely nothing wrong with the park." I turned to the tealettes and smiled warmly.

The sun was bright in the sky once again with no clouds covering it, so it was rather warm. It was a little too warm to do anything, so we found some trees that provided good shade and laid down with the tops of our heads almost touching. There were tons of families with little kids and groups of friends hanging out around the park. Dogs were everywhere along with skateboarders and bike riders, so it was a little louder than I appreciated.

We talked about random things, like school, music, funny stories we had for a good hour. By then most of the people had cleared out of the park to go home for dinner and it had cooled down enough for us to actually be able to do something with sweating buckets. Mikuo said he loved the teeter totters when he was a little kid so we found the teeter totters. There were four of them all lined up on a metal bar and each of them was a different color. There was a red one, a yellow one, a light brown one, and a sky blue one. The paint was chipping off on all of them and there were chunks of wood missing from some places. The chains that kept the teeter totters connected to the metal bar were starting to rust from the rain and having been outside for so long. It hurt to sit down on the wood at first, but after a bit my butt got used to it. "Miku-chan must've got tired of these when you guys were younger."

"She would only play with me for a few minutes. After that I was stuck trying to play on the teeter totters by myself. I have perfected the art of getting these to move with just one person." Mikuo looked very proud of himself and his teal eyes were glowing at the fond memories.

I laughed and said, "I didn't know playing on the teeter totters was an art."

Mikuo frowned and argued, "When you're playing by yourself it most certainly is a special art. Have you ever tried that?"

"All right, all right it's a special art. And yes I have tried it by myself and failed miserably," I gave in before he made me try to do it by myself. No way did I need that kind of embarrassment hanging over my head. After a few more minutes my legs were starting to get sore as were Mikuo's. I would always have to play on the swings whenever I came to the park, so that's where we headed next.

The swings were rubber and they were all black with no graffiti on them. I was thrilled that the swings were in such good condition. The chains had obviously been replaced recently since they were shiny and silvery without any sort of rust or dirt. I shifted around a little on the rubber seat to try and get on the swing comfortably. "Have you ever flipped over the bar on these?"

Mikuo shook his head. "Onee-chan would always yell at me if I started to go too high, so I never made it over."

"I've come close to making it over, but every time I got really high the chains would start to pinch my fingers so I'd have to get off," I complained slightly. As I got higher the breeze blew my soft blonde locks around my face and the cool breeze felt nice against my skin. I closed my eyes, enjoying the sensation and let myself believe I was flying. I had always wished when I was younger that I had wings so I could just fly off into the sky for as long as I wanted. Suddenly, I became aware of the fact that my swing was the only one making noise. I looked over to see that Mikuo was just sitting there staring at his feet. I drug my feet along the bark dust to stop myself. Once I had come to a complete stop I leaned forward and asked, "Mikuo, is something wrong?"

Mikuo jumped out of his skin and started looking around frantically. "No, nothings wrong. I was just thinking about…stuff."

I raised an eyebrow and sat back normally on the swing. "And what were you thinking about?"

Swallowing nervously, Mikuo got up off the swing and came around behind me. He started to gently push my swing so that I was moving a bit, but I wasn't bumping into him when I came back. "Rin…I obviously have a reason for asking you out."

My face reddened slightly. "Obviously." I had no idea what else to say.

"You've never been kissed before, right?"

"Not on the mouth, no. Why?"

"What would you do if…I kissed you right here and now?"

My eyes widened and I inhaled a sharp and silent breath. "I-I don't know." I knew how I would react, but I didn't want to sound like some desperate love stuck idiot.

"Hm," Mikuo only made a noise for an answer. He kept pushing on the swing for a few more minutes in utter silence. Eventually, he placed his hands on top of mine and gripped them tightly to stop the swing from moving. Twisting the swing around so that I was facing him, he leaned down a little so that he could look me in the eye. "If I did kiss you, you wouldn't punch me in the face at least, right?"

I couldn't say anything. I could only shake my head 'no' in response to his question.

"Close your eyes."

I knew exactly what he was going to do. He probably knew that I knew what he was going to do as well, but thought it would be better to have my eyes closed anyway. I slowly let my eyes shut. My heart was pounding in my ears and I thought it would break right through my chest. I felt Mikuo's warm breath on my mouth right before I felt his lips touch mine. At first he hesitated a little, but after a second or two he gave me a full and complete kiss. I responded right away. We weren't doing the gross French kissing thing and our kiss was plenty appropriate, but there were still fireworks going off inside of me. I tentatively slipped my arms around his neck and when he didn't protest hugged his neck a little tighter. Mikuo wrapped his arms around my middle and lifted me up onto my feet. The kiss lasted for a good twenty seconds before we broke apart.

Mikuo was still holding me close to him. Brushing some of the hair that had gotten loose behind my ear, he murmured, "Rin, I love you."

I swear my heart stopped beating right then and there. Doing my best to not give a huge smile like an idiot, but soften it down some I whispered back, "I love you too, Mikuo." I wrapped my arms around his torso instead and pressed my cheek against his chest, breathing in his odd scent.

Mikuo kept one arm around me and started stroking my head with his other hand. "I guess you know what question is going to come next."

"And you should know the answer to that question is yes." Considering I had just confessed no duh my answer was going to be yes. I had finally confessed, had my first kiss, and now I had my first boyfriend as well. Could this date be any better? "Is this why you were so nervous to talk to me today?"

"I was scared I would just randomly blurt out the truth and scare you away, so I just avoided talking to you. Sorry if that made you upset in anyway." Mikuo was still stroking my hair softly.

I rolled my eyes, still smiling and said, "I wasn't offended in any way, so don't worry about it. I was just curious. And I was kind of avoiding talking to you since I was nervous I'd say something stupid or embarrassing and you would cancel our date," I revealed the truth about why I had kind of avoided talking to him too. We stood there embracing each other for a few more minutes. My eyes were starting to drift off to being closed, his rhythmic stroking making me slightly drowsy.

"We should probably get heading home soon; it would be a good idea to get home before it gets dark," Mikuo's voice was soft. When he started to remove his arms from around me, I lifted my head up and removed my own arms from around him. He grabbed my hand, interlacing his fingers with mine and started to walk in the direction of our houses. "I'm just glad you liked me too. God knows how awkward it would be between us if you didn't."

"Psh, you're telling me. Remember, I had the exact same problem you did," I gently reminded squeezing his hand a little. I felt like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. It was nice to know that I didn't have to hide my feelings for Mikuo anymore. Slipping my cell phone out of my pocket I slide it open to see what time it was. "Wow; it's only five thirty." I had thought that it was much later than it really was.

"Well, I'm sure you're brother wouldn't mind if I hung out your house for a little while longer." Mikuo gave me a smirk and he had a mischievous look in his eyes.

"Try anything and I'll turn you into a woman," I threatened while laughing. I was only laughing cause I knew he wouldn't really try anything, but if he really did try anything, I would most certainly keep true to my threat. We made it to my house in one pieces without having any trouble from any big thugs or creepers thankfully. I pulled my key out of my pocket and unlocked the door, the whole time Mikuo was refusing to let go of my hand. A light blush had appeared on my face with this. Even he didn't let go of my hand Len was going to know right away that we were dating. For some reason I was nervous about telling anybody about this. It wasn't that I was embarrassed to be dating him; it's just that it was embarrassing that I was actually dating someone I guess. "Len, I'm home and Mikuo-kun is with me." My eyes popped open even wider. The fact that I had added 'kun' to his name was going to be a definite give away.

"Mikuo-kun, huh? I'm assuming that that fact and the fact that you're holding hands means that you're dating now?" Len raised his eyebrow and it looked like he was trying to hold back a smile.

I looked down shyly and nodded my head.

Len laughed at my embarrassment as he plopped himself down on the couch. Turning on the Xbox 360, he set up the kinect. Obviously, he was getting ready to play 'Dance Central'.

"I'm gonna hit you. And why are you playing 'Dance Central' by yourself? You should know that's no fun without other people playing too," I pointed out.

"Miku said she was bored and I said she could come over and play 'Dance Central'. She's on her way over here right now," Len explained. Right after he said that there was a light knock on the door.

I opened the door to see the girl with mega long twin teal pigtails standing at the door. "Before you freak out and ask what happened, Miku-kun and I are dating now, so go ahead and do your little fan girl scream."

Miku-chan did exactly as I had predicted and added a giant hug to the squeal. "Oh my goodness it is about freaking time!" She was no jumping up and down still squealing with joy.

Miku-kun and I both sweat dropped. "Onee-chan, you can calm down now." Miku-kun tried desperately to calm his wild sister.

Len got the game set up and we ended up playing the amazingly fun game for about two hours. By the time we were done it was sadly time for the Hatsunes to return to their own home. Miku-chan was skipping down the sidewalk and Len had gone up to his room, leaving me and Miku-kun alone at the front door.

"I'll see you tomorrow." I wasn't sure if I was supposed to say 'I love you' again or hug or kiss him or what, so I was just going to leave that up to him.

Mikuo-kun took immediate charge of things. He tilted my head up a little, wrapped both his arms around me and pulled me into a kiss. It was a little rougher than the first one, but there was still no tongue and it was still appropriate.

I practically threw my arms around his neck, standing on my tip toes so that it was easier for me to reach him. After thirty seconds, we broke apart and rested our foreheads against each other since we needed some air.

"I love you," Mikuo whispered, smiling warmly at me.

"I love you too. Good night," I whispered back matching his smile my blue eyes lit up with joy.

"Good night." Mikuo gave me a quick peck on the forehead before giving me one last squeeze (hug). He made his way down the sidewalk and waved to me once he had reached the sidewalk.

I gave a sigh of contempt as I shut and dead bolted the door. I was in a happy daze humming random cheery tunes as I got bathed and ready for bed. Climbing into bed I knew I was going to have trouble getting to sleep my mind was buzzing with so much happiness.


I had tons of fun writing their date out. Sorry, but I refuse to write lemons or anything really dirty like frenching or groping. Sorry to dissapoint you people XP. So yeah like I said one more chapter and there will be a poll on my profile, so go check that out. Rate and review pretty please with a cherry on top!
