MuraHimu 30 Day OTP challenge. Day 4- On a date.
A/N: Day 4~ I wasn't quite sure what to write for this one, so it may seen a little... rubbish =w= Yeah. But anyway, thank you all for your lovely reviews, they really mean a lot w Enjoy~
It all started from one simple, jokingly said question.
"Nee Atushi, take me on a date after practice." Himuro said as they both sat on the bench, watching their teammates practice, eyes following the moving bodies as they jumped, dribbled and dodged the other players. Not expecting a response, Himuro carried on watching them, face resting on his palm.
"Ah, okay sure." Murasakibara replied, not even removing his eyes from the game in front of them.
"Eh, really?" Himuro stared at his friend, wide eyed, he never thought that he would actually agree to it, and was pleasantly surprised at the outcome, despite his face turning a little pinker than it was before.
"Mmhmm, I need to buy some new basketball shoes anyway so it's fine." Murasakibara turned his eyes from the game to look at the black haired boy. "Besides, a date with Muro-chin would be fun." he smiled, and turned back to the game. Himuro felt as though his heart had skipped a beat, and had to turn away to hide his reddening face.
"Y-Yeah."

And so after they had finished practice and were changed back into their normal clothes, they set out on their date. As they were leaving the school, they were stopped by their coach, who stared at them with cold eyes.
"Where are you two going?"
"Mm? I'm taking Muro-chin on a date." Murasakibara replied, towering over her as he grabbed Himuro's hand and took it in his own. Masako raised an eyebrow at the the two of them and slowly smiled knowingly, as though she knew something had been going on all along.
"Alright then, just make sure you're not too sore for practice tomorrow." she nodded and turned around just as the rest of the team left the building. Himuro felt a blush creeping across his face.
"I-It's not-" he stuttered, before he was interrupted by Murasakibara.
"Come on, Muro-chiiiin." he tugged on Himuro's hand until he sighed and turned around, following him away from the school. They still held hands as they walked, not bothering to let go, and Himuro smiled at that.

After this, they soon arrived at the shopping center, where they first went to find Murasakibara's basketball shoes. It took them a while to find a size that would actually fit him, his feet were large, considering his height. Afterwards, they sat down on a bench side by side.
"You really are tall aren't you, Atushi." Himuro stared in wonder down at the large shoes laying in the bag.
"Eh? I guess so, but that's a good thing though." Murasakibara blinked and smiled at his friend.
"Yeah, since you can easily reach the basket in basketball, and you can see things a lot easier." Himuro stated, looking back up at the purple haired boy, who nodded.
"Yup, and also I can-" he paused as he saw something pull up across the street. "Muro-chin, let's get ice-cream!" he exclaimed, grinning and pulled Himuro up and over to the ice-cream van.
"Alright alright." Himuro chuckled, thinking about how much Murasakibara was acting like a child over the ice-cream. They both waited in line until they were at the front, where they each picked out what flavour to have. Himuro was about to pull out the money from his pocket to pay when the taller boy stopped him.
"Nu-uh. I'm taking Muro-chin on a date, so that means I have to buy him ice-cream right?" Usually it was Himuro buying Murasakibara sweets, but since it was the other way round his mouth opened a little. Murasakibara had never bought him anything before, especially not sweet-wise and also the fact that he said that they definitely were on a date it made a warm feeling spread through his stomach and he couldn't help but grin happily.
"Mm, okay~" Murasakibara gave the money to the man and they both took their ice-creams. As they were walking back to the bench, Himuro slipped his hand into the other aces, entwining their fingers and squeezing his hand. The taller boy looked down at the shorter, who was licking at his ice-cream whilst looking down at the floor as though he was trying to hide his face. He blinked and smiled, sitting back down on the bench with their hands still joined.
"Muro-chin is cute."
"...Just eat your ice-cream."

By the time the sun was beginning to set, they were both walking home. Himuro walked with his head resting on Murasakibara's arm (his shoulder was too high Himuro noticed) and Murasakibara had an arm wrapped snuggly around Himuro's waist, keeping him close. There was mainly silence between them, except for the occasional observation or comment about how something looked. By the time they had reached Murasakibara's room, the shorter boy had almost fallen asleep whilst they were walking, Murasakibara's shoulder was unusually comfortable. As they separated, Himuro looked up at the taller boys face, and it may have been because he was half-asleep, but he found him to be strangely beautiful in this light. He smiled softly and reached up on his tip-toes to plant a light kiss on his lips.
"Atushi, thank you for today." He murmured happily, blinking to try and keep his eyes open. He then turned around and left, waving at the other as he exited, leaving Murasakibara looking awestruck and running a hand over his lips.
