Chapter 4: Sight to the Blind
(Back again! With chapter 4, thank you to everyone who has read and two thank yous to all those who left reviews! So I lied when I said this would be four parts, it's only gonna be one.)
Kanji woke up tired, "Damn, that's what I get for going to bed at three In the morning" he rubbed his head then checked his phone, Naoto didn't respond to his text, but he couldn't care less, he hadn't expected a response. Something else caught his eye, a message from Yosuke, "Hey, Kanji, wanna hang out today? I got stuff that I need to talk about" Kanji typed fast on the keys of his phone, saying he could meet up for lunch at Junes. Kanji arrived first and ordered a soda, Yosuke soon came into view. "Hey, Kanji, how's it going?" Kanji shrugged,
"You invited me, jackass, I wouldn't know" he said, causing Yosuke to laugh, "Right, right, I have a plan that involves the both of us, so listen up" Kanji sighed, "That last plan of yours didn't work out so good, now did it?" Yosuke cringed, "The up close and personal plan would've worked if you weren't their!" Kanji shook his head, Yosuke changed the subject, "Besides, this plan is not like that, this is serious." Kanji noticed the look on Yosuke's face change and so he did the same, "Ok, so what's going on, Senpai?" Yosuke sighed, "Where do I begin? Well, you know that Chie and I have been giving the dating thing a chance, but I think we are in a rut."
Kanji looked confused, "Was it somethin you said?" Yosuke shrugged, "I don't know, it was great for like three straight weeks, but now she is making up excuses for why we can't hang out, maybe I scarred her off." He shrugged again, Kanji had no idea why his Senpai would ever approach him for advice but he tried, "That sucks man, so what's the plan then?" Yosuke's expression changed, "Well, I call it operation double date" he said proudly, Kanji looked confused again, "but Souji-senpai ain't here anymore, so you can't go on one with Yukiko and him" Yosuke grabbed his head, "I wasn't talking about them, idiot" Kanji shot up, "Uh, then who were you going on this double date with?" Yosuke crossed his arms,
"I was thinking you could man up and ask Naoto to go" Kanji stood up pushing his chair down, "W-w-what?!" he was shaking already, "Y-you want me to ask Naoto on a freakin date? Are you insane?" Yosuke was nearly laughing at his friend's reaction. "Well, yeah. Wait a sec, you haven't done it already?" Kanji sat back down, "Done what?" Yosuke shrugged, "Ask her out" he simply said. "Of course not, you know how nervous I get around her!" Yosuke shrugged again, "Kanji, look, just do it, it can be over the phone for all I care, but you are the only one I know that is even close to being in a relationship, so please, man up!" Kanji shook at the last part, "Man up, huh?" Yosuke nodded, "Alright Senpai, you're on, I'll show you I'm a man!" He grabbed his soda and stormed off from the table.
Yosuke took out his cell and gave Chie a call, "Hey Yosuke" she said, "Did it work, is he gonna ask her?" Yosuke smiled, "Yeah he is, all you have to do is challenge his manliness to get him to do anything" Chie laughed through the phone, Yosuke kept talking, "I have to give you credit though, Chie, this plan to get those two on a date is pretty good. I can't believe you came up with lying about our relationship issues" He could tell she was smiling on the other end, "Thanks! Now that you have talked to Kanji-kun, I'll have a talk to Naoto to close the deal, wish me luck!"
Yosuke smiled, she was something else alright, always full of energy, "Yeah, good luck!" with that Chie hung up and Yosuke began his day of work. Over in the hospital, Chie was standing outside the room of her friend, "Alright, don't mess this up girl, Naoto will tear you apart if you screw up" she opened the door and saw Naoto laying on her bed still, "Hey, Naoto, I heard you collapsed" Naoto looked up, feeling a lot better than yesterday, "Oh, senpai, good to see you" she said sitting up on the edge of the bed, Chie sat next to her, "Glad to see you have your strength back, um, can I ask you something, Naoto?" Naoto looked confused but nodded anyway, Chie continued,
"I'll be honest, Yosuke was being an idiot yesterday and I snapped at him and haven/t seen him since" Naoto raised an eyebrow, she had known they were dating but had no idea how to offer advice, Chie continued, "So I got a call from him a few minutes ago, and he said he wanted to go on a double date with me, he said he got Kanji involved, and he may call you later tonight." Naoto's heart beat increased, "Are you saying Kanji-kun is going to ask me out on a…date?" she was more flustered than Chie had ever seen her before, making her more confident in her lie, "Yeah, so if you can do me a solid and accept his offer, that would be great!" Naoto thought for a while before nodding slowly, "Y-yeah, I suppose I'll go, I have some free time this weekend"
Chie smirked at how much the young detective was blushing, "Ok, good luck with the call from Kanji-kun!" call me as soon as he finishes, ok, I want the details." Naoto nodded, "Chie-senpai, thanks for telling me so I could prepare before he calls." Chie smiled and left the room, Naoto laid back down, "Is he really going to call me? To ask me on my first date with anyone?" the more she thought about it, the more nervous she got, "No, I made a promise to Chie, I can't back out of this now" she strengthened her resolve and waited for the call.
Kanji was pacing, he looked at his watch, it was 6:00 PM, "Aw, man, why the hell did I agree to this?" he rubbed the back of his head, "I know, I'll get advice from Souji-senpai, he always helps me" he called up Souji who answered on the second ring, like always, "Hello?" Kanji talked fast, "Senpai! I need advice! I promised Yosuke that I would ask Naoto out and now I'm too nervous to call!" Souji sounded level-headed as always, "Kanji, calm down, have a little confidence in yourself." Kanji collected his thoughts, "I wanted to ask you, how did you start dating Yukiko-senpai?" Souji took a deep breath and readied his story as Kanji listened intently.
