Hi! This is also part of my Holiday Surprise for Ryosakuexpress Exchange 2015. This is the fourth part in the Holiday series! Hope you enjoy it! Sorry for the late upload. Life has been crazy!
I personally do not own anything. If I did, Ryosaku would be so canon right now
Sakuno was in her room getting ready for her data with Ryoma. After giving Ryoma his gift on his birthday, they started going out. Of course, with Ryoma, it was nothing like the standard relationship, but Sakuno was happy. They have been texting back and forth and see each other after practice. Also, they have been meeting up during lunch time where he would eat her bento that she made him.
Today would be their first official date. They had technically a date to the shrine for New Years, but that was messed up. They had met the rest of the tennis team and just decided to go together. At the time, the team did not know they were dating, so when they had separated so she could use the bathroom, Sakuno came up to see all of them with Ryoma. However, today, hopefully, there would be nothing to bother them. But the problem now is that she didn't know what to wear though.
"Ah, what to wear." Sakuno asked as she pulled clothes out of her closet. "Is this okay?" She asked as she pulled out a black dress. She shocked her head and threw it on her bed.
"Ah, a dress or a skirt." She questioned while looking at her choices. "I wore a dress for Christmas, so a skirt this time!" She nodded.
After moments of thinking and throwing clothes from her closet to her bed and vice versa, she finally came up with an outfit. She put on a dark pink tulle skirt that falls right at her knees and a long sleeve black shirt. She paired it with her black sparkly flats and her black pea coat on top. She grabbed her dark pink cross over bag and checked her make up. She just had light makeup on and check her braids.
"Obaa chan! I'm going out." She shouted as she left the house. She noticed the time and started to run. "I'm going to be late!"
"Ah! I'm so sorry I'm late, R-ryoma kun!" She panted when she reach his side.
Ryoma was drinking his ponta while waiting for her. He was wearing dark jeans with a black button up shirt. He actually knew that she would be late so he made sure to come 15 minutes later than the time. He just smirked at her and said. "Always late huh, Ryuzaki? Mada Mada Dane."
"Mou!" Sakuno pouted at Ryoma. Is that all he has to say?
"Let's go." Ryoma said as he started to walked away. Sakuno ran after him.
Ryoma took her to a small cafe. They were led to their table and they sat down across from each other.
"Hm, Ryoma kun, what are you going to order?" She asked him while looking at the menu.
"Chawan Mushi" He replied.
"Ah. Of course." She giggled. Typical Ryoma to order one of his favorite things. "I think I have the omurice."
They placed their order. Sakuno was asking him how was practice. Their food came out and they both started to eat.
"Is it good?" Sakuno asked.
"Yea. Yours? Let me try some." Ryoma asked.
Sakuno turned slightly red but took a spoon and fed him. Just then a voice called out to them.
"Ah! Are you two on a date?" Eiji called out to them. He walked right towards them with Momo and Fuji trailing him.
"Ah young love! So youthful. Of course they are, you just saw her spoon fed him!" Momo laughed.
"Ah, maybe we should leave them alone. Ryuzaki chan is turning red." Fuji said.
The three took the table right next to them and were chatting really loud.
"Who knew that he would get a girlfriend before us?" Momo questioned.
"I got to tell Oishi and Inui about this!" Eiji shouted while he took his cell phone out to text them.
The whole time, Ryoma was annoyed at the company and Sakuno was bright red. They quickly finished their meal. Ryoma paid for them and they both left after saying goodbye to the three senpais.
"We really just run into them all the time huh?" Sakuno questioned while giggling a little.
"Senpai Tachi are so noisy." Ryoma replied right back to her.
"Where are we going now?" Sakuno questioned.
"You see." Ryoma smirked at her and started to head off the other direction. Sakuno rushed to follow him.
They arrived at the arcade.
"Ah! This was where we hung out in middle school!" Sakuno exclaimed.
Just like their "date" beforehand, they did similar things at the arcade.
"Pick one." Ryoma said as he gestured to the crane machine.
"Ah! I really like this one!" She pointed out a cat.
"Heh." Ryoma smirked at her, fully knowing the reason why she chose that one. He inserted some coins and got her the cat. He handed it to Sakuno.
"Ah! Thank you!" She smiled really brightly at him.
Next they were to the bumper cars, but instead of Ryoma driving, he got in the passenger side. He gestured Sakuno to get in the driver's side.
"Eh!" She shouted. After moments of hesitation, she got in. She started driving and squealing. "Ah! They're trying to hit me!"
"Hit them back." He replied.
"I don't want to!" She shouted, but then got hit. She jerked toward from the impact. "Ah!"
"Drive." Ryoma said.
The whole thing Sakuno avoided all the cars and eventually, all the cars got tired of hitting each other in the mess of her avoiding them, that they started to chase after her. "Ahhh!" She shouted as she just drove away.
"That was so scary!" Sakuno panted. Luckily for her, she only got hit that one time.
"Heh. Not bad." Ryoma smirked. He was pretty impressed she managed to get everyone else to bump each other while chasing her.
"Mou, R-ryoma kun!" She said as she pouted.
Then he pointed to the tennis game. "I hope you improved." He said. "Don't fall."
"Mou! I don't fall all the time!" She said as she grabbed her racket. "I will prove you wrong!" She said determinedly.
The tennis balls start to fire. She hit the first few. Then she missed a few. She hit the other two before she tripped on the ball she hit and fell.
"Mada Mada Dane." Ryoma said as he grabbed a racket.
"Well, don't break the machine this time!" She said as she puffed out her cheeks. "I fall but you broke the machine. I think that was worst."
"Heh." He just chuckled at her. Of course, he hit all the balls to their correct spots.
"Wah!" She awe in wonder, when Ryoma smirked over at her, she pouted and looked away.
Then they played a shooting zombie game. Instead of Ryoma playing by himself, he got Sakuno to play with him.
"Ah! He is coming for me!" Sakuno shouted as she just aimlessly shot at the screen.
"Aim then shoot!" Ryoma said as he aimed and killed the zombie attacking Sakuno's character.
"Wah! There's more coming!" She just kept shooting. Out of 10 bullets, about 1 or 2 hit the zombie and killing them. Ryoma just killed the rest of them.
After the shooting zombie game, he grabbed her to play DDR with him. Ryoma was pretty good at the game, while Sakuno kept missing the beats. Then she just fell while trying to follow the quick moves. She just started to laugh and awe at Ryoma for his dance moves.
"Wah! That was really fun!" Sakuno smiled at Ryoma. "Thanks for taking me!" She told her.
They were at the park where they also went to right after the arcade.
"No. Thank you." Ryoma told her.
Sakuno looked at him in surprise. "For what?" She tilted her head in confusion with her hands behind her back.
"Last time, we went to the arcade. It was fun then the shrine fortunes." Ryoma explained. "It really… cheered me up when I was kicked out of the representative team."
"Ah!" Sakuno nodded. No wonder he was feeling down that day.
"I wanted to come back here with you and have you play the games with me." Ryoma said.
Ryoma took a step towards her. Sakuno closes her eyes on instinct. Ryoma place something around her neck. Sakuno opened her eyes and looked down and saw a necklace of a cat around her neck. "Happy birthday Ryuzaki."
Sakuno started to teared up. "You remember!" She smiled at him. "Thank you!" She shouted as she hugged him.
"I really really like it. I had so much fun today especially because I was with you!" She said with tears falling down her face.
Ryoma wiped the tears from her face and then slowly kissed her. It was short, simple and sweet, but to Sakuno, it was perfect. It was the best birthday she ever had.
