V- Date

They walked hand-in-hand through the empty street until they reached Crawford's car. When the bespectacled man opened the door for his lover, Ran no longer felt the urge to kill him because of the courtesy; he merely got inside and smiled. Crawford started the car and Ran decided to rest his hand on the precog's knee. Usually, Crawford would have never allowed such an intimate act, but instead of feeling upset he felt warm, and when the redhead rested his head in his shoulder, the warm feeling spread through his entire body…was that what people felt when they were in love?

Once they arrived at the fancy restaurant they had picked for the night, Crawford chose the most isolated table he could find.

"Do you dislike being seen with me?" asked Ran.

"Not particularly. I dislike being seen at all," replied Crawford.

When the moment arrived for them to depart, Ran found he was reluctant to open the car door and leave.

"If you stay they'll ask questions," Crawford said, barely looking at him.

"I know…kiss me good-bye?" Ran suggested, and Crawford complied. They locked their lips until they left each other breathless.

"We'll meet again," was the last thing Crawford said before he drove away, and Ran knew it wasn't an ordinary promise, it was a certainty.


Since it is pretty obvious that my first language isn't English, I think I should seek a beta-reader, please be patient while I find one :)

Thanks to the people who have left comments, that's meant a lot to me.
