Kei reeled back.

"You two are dating?" She shrieked.

"Yes." Karin nodded, still clutching Sakura's hand. Sakura shifted nervously.

"So Kei. Uh…you can see why Karin gets priority. We can hang out Sunday, though." Sakura hastily.

"No. its fine. I'll hang out with someone else…" Kei walked off, her head facing the floor.

"Wow. That was awfully blunt." Karin tugged Sakura's hand. "She'll come around. Let's go." Sakura allowed herself to be pulled away.

The couple was at the park, in spite of Karin privately telling to herself that she would never be seen anywhere so common in the past. They were enjoying ice cream, and arguing over which flavour was better.

"Strawberry! It's so much more refined!" Karin argued.

"Yeah, but chocolate is a real flavour! And it's stronger!" Sakura shot back.

"Strawberry is natural!"

"So is chocolate!"

"Strawberry looks better!" Sakura was stumped for an answer.

"Well I know a flavour that is better than both." Sakura took a lick of her own ice cream. Karin looked at Sakura curiously.

"What's that?" Karin asked curiously Grinning cheekily, Sakura took Karin's ice cream. "Hey! Give-"

Karin silenced when Sakura pushed both ice creams together. Taking a lick, making sure she got a bit of both flavours, Sakura remarked on it.

"Mmm…socolate! A combination is always better!" Sakura giggled.

"Socolate? That must taste like cheesy feet! It's sockolate!" Giggling more at Karin's pun, Sakura brought the ice cream to Karin's face.

"Want a taste?" Accepting the sugary sweet treat, Karin took a lick while keeping her eyes on Sakura.

"Mmm…you're right!" Karin smiled. "Let's go. The film starts in thirty minutes."

The film was a romantic comedy. Half way through, Karin rested her head on Sakura's shoulder. Sakura smiled when she noticed Karin asleep. Resting her head on Karin's, she watched the rest of the film in that position.

"Wake up, Karin." Said girl sat up suddenly.

"Wha-I wasn't asleep! I saw it! It was funny!" Karin insisted, rubbing her eyes to clear the sleep.

"The film is over, Karin. I saw you. You rested your head on my shoulder. It was cute!" Sakura giggled, poking Karin's nose. "Now c'mon, it's cold outside. Let's get some hot chocolate!" Exiting the cinema, both girls stopped outside a Costa Coffee.

"Just wait here, I'll go get it." Sakura said, turning to Karin.

"Thanks. Hot chocolate, please."

"How many sugars?" Sakura asked.

"I don't need sugar when I have you." Karin smiled sweetly at Sakura. The target of that smile felt as if her heart was going to melt.

"That's so sweet…" Moving closer to Karin, Sakura grabbed her girlfriend's waist. As she moved her face closer to Karin's lips, she realised she was breathing heavily. Having had little experience in kissing, Sakura was nervous. This was their first kiss as a couple and she wanted it to take place on a perfect night, with glowing stars. However, overcome with emotion, Sakura chose to initiate a kiss in the dead of night, with a cloudy sky and loud cars driving by.

Sakura remembered the spin the bottle kiss and used that as her guideline. Shutting her eyes, as Karin already had, Sakura opened her mouth and poked her tongue out a tiny bit. Expecting Karin's lips to be closed, she was shocked when Karin apparently had the same idea. Their tongues in each other's mouth, there was a lot of lip movement. Sakura explored Karin's mouth and found her tongue. Both tongues pulled against each other and Sakura gripped Karin's hips more tightly. Karin let out several desperate high pitched moans. A few moments later, both girls pulled away with red faces and breathed heavily. Karin licked her lips and remarked:

"Definitely do not need sugar." Giggling, Sakura ran inside the shop. While she waited, Karin licked her lips again. 'Mmmmm…definitely do not need sugar...'
