The streets of Tokyo were deserted. The beautiful lights of the city began to slowly dim on as the bright orange sun was setting; hiding behind the horizon. The dark clouds started hovering over. Rain drops randomly spotted the ground. The fresh scent of water was relaxing and made your senses clear.
The young wedded to be couple were roaming the streets quietly. Both their bellies full from eating at a fancy restaurant earlier tonight.
"You seem awfully nervous." Nagihiko looked down at Rima who was trudging her feet next to him. Of course she was nervous after what Utau planned yesterday, but a part of her was jumping for joy.
Rima took a whiff of the fresh air and fake laughed, "Me nervous! No!"
Nagihiko put his arm around Rima and pulled her close as she squeaked.
"Are you sure nothing is wrong?" His voice felt like a hug; secure and strong.
"Of course I'm sure!" Rima frowned.
"Uh huh."
"What's with the uh huh?" Rima looked up at him. She squinted her eye as a raindrop fell in it. Nagihiko laughed at her reaction,
"I don't believe you. So I guess that means..."
Rima continued the draft, "That means?"
Nagihiko smiled, "That means I'm not going to talk to you until you tell me what's wrong."
Rima whined, "That's not fair!"
Nagihiko turned his head in the direction of the road. Rima groaned and pulled away from his arm. She knew she would figure out a way to get him to talk to her. She looked down at her feet then his. She smirked and lied, "Your shoes are untied."
Nagihiko just kept looking in the other direction like she wasn't there at all. Rima growled and poked his shoulder,"Hey!" She got frustrated and began poking his shoulder repeatedly. "I'll keep annoying you!"
Nagihiko rubbed his shoulder,
"It feels as though something is on my arm... must be a fly."
Rima gasped, "I'm not a fly!"
"I can hear it buzzing again." He smiled, and looked around him.
"Shut up! You know it's me!" Rima stopped walking and folded her arms across her chest. "Fine I'll tell you."
Nagihiko continued walking ahead of her. Rima quickly followed behind him, "The texts from yesterday. It was Utau and well she might have said something..."
Nagihiko stopped and handed Rima his phone. The text read:
I want to go out and eat tomorrow pleeeeeaseeeee. :3
"Huh?" Rima was confused. "That's the only text you got yesterday?"
Nagihiko nodded, "It's the only text I received from you."
Rima sighed, "But Utau said that she said..."
"Said what?"
Rima waved her arms around. "Oh nothing never mind!" Rima rolled her eyes. That Utau really likes to mess with people.
"So that's what all the fuss was about?" Nagihiko raised an eyebrow.
Rima laughed nervously and whispered to herself, "Great all that worrying and excitement for nothing." To be honest she really wanted to go with what Utau had planned but was too nervous to ask herself. She sighed in disappointed. Maybe another time.
Rima ran ahead of Nagihiko, "I'll beat you home!" Nagihiko took the challenge and chased after her.
Soon after Rima ended up winning by taking a shortcut.
By the time they reached the apartment the sun had said it's goodbyes and the full moon was slightly covered by a thick ugly cloud.
They entered the door as Rima had the sudden craving for cupcakes.
"I want cupcakes."
Nagihiko laughed as he shut the door. "We just went out."
The blonde sulked, "Okay...I guess I'll just sit here and do nothing." She made her way to the cherry wood table and pulled out a chair as it creaked and sat down.
Nagihiko watched her, as she pulled out a book and flipped to a random page and started reading. He slipped off his shoes and pulled out a seat across from his fiancé.
He raised an eyebrow "You never read."
The solemn girl flipped to another random section of the book. Nagihiko chuckled as he noticed the book was upside down. He knew she was never going to let this down, "We can bake cupcakes."
"Bake some?" Rima snapped back to her happy self. And slammed the book close. Except there's a downside. She has always been horrible at cooking. In high school she failed that class twice. On her final project to pass, she had to bake a dessert, so she made Nagihiko make it then she turned it in and thankfully passed.
"I'll watch." Rima slowly opened the book again.
"Come on, it will be fun."
"Fine."
Rima ran to the bedroom and in a flash came back wearing an oversized apron and had her hair tied back in a pony tail. Nagihiko had his sleeves rolled up and was already setting the ingredients out.
Rima slid over the wooden floors to the counter.
Nagihiko handed Rima two eggs. She stared at them, "What do I do?"
Nagihiko weakly smiled, "I thought you knew the basics."
Rima shrugged and walked over to the big plastic bowl. She took both eggs in each hand studying them carefully. She slammed them both together, making a smashing noise, and she dropped them both into the bowl. Nagihiko leaned into the bowl.
"Good but we just need the yolk."
Rima sighed annoyingly, "This is impossible."
Nagihiko reassured her, "Here I will take care of the eggs. Just pour a 3/4 cup of vegetable oil."
Rima walked over to the drawer underneath the sink and got out the measuring cups. She gently twisted the cap off the vegetable oil and poured. Then she handed the cup to Nagihiko and he poured it in along with the the water was added and flour. Rima picked up the blender, "I got this"
"Are you sure?" Nagihiko was hoping she'd change her mind. She nodded and switched it on as an annoying blender noise screeched. Nagihiko gulped and took a few steps back.
Rima accidentally turned it on full power and inserted it into the bowl. With both hands sternly on the handle she began stirring.
Mix flew everywhere, covering her face and splattering all over the floors and onto the counter, "I don't know how to shut it off!" Rima panicked.
Nagihiko walked over to the power outlet and unplugged it. Rima took a few steps back and slipped on the mix spilled on the floor, and elbowed the package of flour which fell down with her, making the whole kitchen explode entirely white. Nagihiko began coughing as flour went up his nose.
Rima's eyes were watery from the flour. Glancing around her she covered her face at the embarrassment mess. "I ruined everything!"
Nagihiko sat next to her and joked "Looks like we have an early Christmas"
Rima peeked at him through her fingers, and they both burst out laughing. Rima pointed at Nagihiko trying to catch her breath, "You look like a snowman!"
Nagihiko pointed back at her, "You look like a ghost!" The laughing wouldn't stop, until both their sides ached and cheeks hurt from smiling.
"So do you still want cupcakes?" Rima looked down at her hands that were still covered in flour, "Sadly yes."
Nagihiko smiled, "I'll go change, and run to the pastry store and buy some." Rima smiled, "Okay I'll clean this up."
It took about a few minutes and Nagihiko came back out wearing a plain black T-shirt and cargo pants. His hair was a bit tousled which made Rima muttered to herself, "Sexy."
"I'll be back in about 20 minutes."
Rima nodded, half way done cleaning up the flour. He threw on a jacket and slipped on his shoes.
"Don't forget the keys!" Rima grabbed the keys off the counter and tossed it at him. He swiftly caught it, "I don't need it. I'll just walk since it's down the street."
"I love y-"
Rima's sentence got cut off as the door closed. She sighed wishing he had heard her.
Suddenly the door re-opened and Nagihiko winked and said, "I love you too." With that said he was gone in a flash. Rima caught herself smiling. And once she finished cleaning about 15min passed. Since Nagihiko was still not home she decided to take a quick shower to remove the remaining flour dust on her. She started singing random songs as the warm water began steaming up the mirrors. The mist was making her dizzy so she got out and heard a voice at the door, "That must Nagi." She smiled to herself.
In one quick motion she got dressed into a night gown and covered herself with a robe.
She heard loud knocking and strides over to the door and unlocked it. It swung it open,
"Finally, it took you-
Rima stopped mid sentence when she realized it was Kukai drenched by the rain. The thunder roared and Rima questioned, "Kukai what are you-
Kukai stepped inside the warm apartment, "I called Nagihiko several times to tell him I'm picking up my glasses I left yesterday."
"Oh." Rima said shutting the door.
"He's not answering his phone so I was around the neighborhood and decided to stop by anyways."
"You wear glasses?" Rima asked.
"Don't tell anyone, got that?" Kukai walked over to the TV stand and picked up his glasses and put them on his face. Rima burst out laughing the glasses were twice his eye size and the frames were thick and squared.
"It's only for driving." Kukai sighed and whipped off his glasses then sat on a nearby loveseat.
"Do you mind if I chill here until the rain stops?" Rima shook her head, "Go ahead."
Kukai glanced around the room, "Where is that nerd anyways?"
Rima responded, "He went to get some cupcakes. He said he would be back in fifteen minutes but it's been an hour."
Rima's face looked worried. Kukai yawned, "The slacker probably lost track of time." Kukai switched on the TV, "The weather is pretty nasty."
Rima left the room for a quick second and brought back a towel with a change of clothes for Kukai. He thanked her and took off his shirt. Rima was surprised and awkwardly turned around not wanting to look. It was tempting to look but decided not to. She sat on the sofa, a few seats away from Kukai and faced away staring up at the clock. She was thinking of Nagihiko "Everything is fine." She reassured herself.
She slowly turned around and saw Kukai was done changing and sighed from relief.
"There's nothing ever on TV." Kukai continued switching the channels.
Rima tried to smile but couldn't; time was ticking and the worries were wearing her down.
"Do you want a drink?" Rima offered. Kukai nodded, and the blonde got up to get a glass in the dishwasher. She picked it up, and walked over to the fridge but her hand was slightly trembling.
The glass slipped out her hands and crashed onto the floor making Kukai jump at the sudden noise.
"I must be tired." Rima tried convincing herself and carefully crouched down to pick up the pieces.
Suddenly a ring was heard throughout the room and Rima quickly ran over to the home phone answering it, "Hello?"
Kukai turned around as soon as Rima said "Yes this is her."
"Who is it?" Kukai whispered but Rima had all her concentration on the call. "What?" Rima sounded confused to the person she was talking to.
Kukai watched Rima's sudden postures. Her shoulders tensed up and she pressed the phone closer to her ear. The room was dead silent when Kukai shut off the TV to eavesdrop into the conversation.
"Excuse me?" Rima voice was shallow. Rima felt her heart pounding faster as her sweaty palms loosened the grip on the phone. Her pale lips were quivering.
The next sound that was heard throughout the room was the phone that clattered onto the ground.
Rima collapsed onto the floor shaking uncontrollably.
Kukai immediately jumped over the couch and rushed to her side. Her eyes were dilated.
"What's going on?" Kukai hugged Rima and an overload of tears washed down her face. She began sobbing. Kukai sternly grabbed both of her shoulders and looked her in the eye,
"Rima get a hold of yourself!"
Kukai realized what was going on as she was going into shock; she kept repeating over and over, "He got hit by a car."
