Chapter 5: The Infamous Call
(Back once again with more! Alright, this chapter is a little short because I didn't want to get into the double date just yet, but fear not, I will deliver another chapter sometime tomorrow, that's a promise. Anyway please enjoy and remember the Review)
Kanji stood shocked by Souji's response, he replayed what he said back in his mind, "How did I start dating Yukiko? I don't know, one day the moment felt right and I just said I thought of her as more than just a friend, after that she felt the same way so we gave it a try."
Kanji choked out a response, "I-it was just that simple!?" Souji responded confused, "Kanji, you need to stop making feelings so complicated, if you like her, go get her, understand? If she doesn't feel the same way, than no harm done, and you can take solace in the fact that you tried." Kanji always got inspired by Souji's words, "You have a point there senpai, I'll go for it! I'll call you tomorrow with how it went"
Souji said good luck and the phone call ended, Kanji took a deep breath, "Calm down, dammit, you can handle this" with that his phone buzzed with a text message, it was from Yosuke, "I assume you haven't gotten the nerve up yet so here is all you gotta say, Naoto, do you want to go on a double date with me? That's it, now good luck, l8rs." Kanji starred at his phone, "Alright let's do this."
Naoto was sitting on the couch watching TV to get her mind off of the call that was supposed to be coming; she flipped through channel after channel but couldn't focus, "What would he say? How is he going to say it?
Would he even call me tonight?" All these thoughts ran in her mind but it was all shattered when her phone ringer went off, "He actually called?" she spoke out loud, she stumbled over and picked up the phone, "Hello?" she sounded more intimidating then she wanted to.
"H-h-hey, Naoto, it's, uh, Kanji" Naoto sighed in relief, "Ah, Kanji-kun, how can I help you?" Damn, that sound too professional, didn't it "Um, look, feel free to say no, but, I-I wanted to, um, know if you wanted to grab dinner one of these days?" "Holy crap", Kanji thought, "he freakin did it." Naoto froze, she was expecting this thanks to Chie, but Kanji Tatsumi actually asked her on her first date, she spoke with an unusual soft tone,
"Y-Yeah, that would be great, um, what day were you thinking?" Naoto turned a little red, "I stuttered, but I never stutter, what is wrong with me?" she thought. "Oh, shit" Kanji thought, "Damn, I never got a date from Yosuke-senpai" Kanji thought for a little bit, it was Thursday night, "Um, how does S-Saturday sound to you?" Naoto breathed out, "Yeah, sounds good" Kanji started to get irritated at Yosuke,
"That bastard didn't even give me a time or location, Yosuke you prick" he thought, but then he saved himself, "So, y-yeah, I'll text you the location and time tomorrow, so, um, I'll look forward to it, b-bye" He hung up and Naoto did shortly after, she was glad she was getting released tomorrow, she had a lot to prepare before her first date. Naoto would never admit it, but she was getting rather excited for this outing, but then she cringed, "do I have to dress up for this?" she thought, she thought about calling Chie, but decided to hang out with her tomorrow, instead she simply went to bed, smiling slightly at the thought of her very first official date.
Kanji hung up with Naoto and stood still for a few moments, "Holy crap did I really just do that?" He did his signature flex move and smiled big, "I gotta tell Yosuke-senpai!" he dialed the number, Yosuke was on his couch with Chie resting on his lap, "Please, tell me this is good news, Kanji, I'm busy" he checked to make sure Chie was still asleep as he put a hand through her hair, Kanji responded, "Of course, I set up a date with her but your prick ass didn't give me any details, so I just said on Saturday, and I would text her the details later."
Yosuke cringed, he was right, "Ok, calm down, how about at 6:30, and as for the location, how about Aiya, I know both girls love that place." Kanji nodded with agreement, "Sounds good, I'll text her that right away. Oh, and, you wanna get together tomorrow? I need advice for Saturday." Yosuke agreed to hang out with Kanji the next day; he hung up and turned off his phone, and went back to looking at Chie.
Kanji went over to his sewing machine and looked at the almost completed sweater/scarf combo, "Almost done, gotta finish it by Saturday" He cracked his knuckles and got to work, looking forward to his date in two days.
