Chapter 22

~Len POV~

Well... now we're at a restaurant. I looked at Kahoko while she silently reads the menu.

"Hmm... can we have desserts as well?", Kahoko asked and took a peek at me.

I nodded. I feel awkward... is it because the room was filled with couples?

I looked at the menu, not paying attention to what was written. Hmm... perfect time and place he said...

After a few minutes of deciding, we ordered and waited for our food. I saw Kahoko sitting quietly while looking around the restaurant then after a few seconds, she started to blush. I wonder why...

I stared at the empty glass in front of me. Magic words. That's how Yuu called it... I'm determined to tell her how I feel but I don't really know how. God, how do you confess to a person?

"It's simply just saying how you feel, just say 'I love you'", someone answered me in a whisper. Weird, did I ask that outloud? I looked at the person who said it and got surprsed.

"Why are you here?", I asked.

"I work here as a waiter and now I'm here to give you your order", Reiga said with a smile.

I saw Kahoko glaring at the guy.

"Don't worry, I wont do anything", Reiga said and placed our orders on our table. Afterwards he leaned to my ear and whispered, "You'll be dumped because of your stupidness, how sad". He left us with a smile on his face.

Annoying...

Kahoko looked at me and asked, "What did that jerk tell you?".

J-jerk? "Nothing... he's just being sadistic", I said in monotone.

"Hn... he's so annoying... that pervert", she said.

"You can say that again", I said and we both started eating.

~Yuu POV~

"W-why are we running again?", Sakura asked while we ran. Behind us was a large group of people running after me.

"I'll explain in a while", I said as we turn left. We both entered a door we found. Sakura was panting hard while I was like just from a walk. I'm glad I'm not easily tired unlike weak humans.

"You said something about fans", Sakura said while trying to calm herself.

I turned my back at her and answered, "They are my fans..."

We were both on our way to the amusement park when some water from God knows where sprinkled on my face. My glasses got some water and we both stopped.

"Here", Sakura offered a handkerchief.

I took her handkerchief and wiped my face. "Thanks".

I took a cloth from my pocket and took my glasses off so I can wipe the water away.

"Ohh! Look! Isn't that Gabriel?", I heard a girl ask her friend from afar.

Great! "Run!", I ordered Sakura and grabbed her hand as we both took the oposite direction from the amusement park.

"Wh-why?", Sakura asked while she took a peek from behind her. I saw her surprised expression after seeing people running after us. "Are you wanted? Do you have a bounty or something?".

"No... Why would I have?", I asked her as we run away.

Sakura stared at me. Why do I feel like she thinks I'm joking? After a few seconds of stares, she started to laugh. "Don't tell me you're some sort of celebrity or something", she said laughing.

I turned to face her and said, "If you dont believe me, it's fine. It's better that way anyway".

Sakura stopped laughing. "Eh?", she said and stared at me again. "You're serious?".

"Didn't you know that he's an idol from a group called Rising Stars? He's Gabriel, when glasses are off", Reiga told Sakura. I saw him wearing a waiters uniform.

"Eh? I'm running with an idol?", Sakura asked.

"Don't you watch TV?", Reiga and I asked at the same time.

She shook her head. "No... I'm not familiar with those kind of things...", she said.

"Oh... what a dumb, crazy, annoying, weird, ug- ouch!", Reiga said and gave me a glare while rubbing the part of his head where I hit him. "What was that for?".

"Bastard, look at what you're doing". I pointed at Sakura who was about to cry. "What kind of guy would make a girl cry. Apologize", I said and hit Reiga again.

"Okay, okay! No need to hit", Reiga said and walked slowly towards Sakura.

"Hurry", I said. I saw him brace himself, thinking that I was about to hit him even though I have no intention.

"Hey, sorry, little girl, that was a joke", Reiga said.

Sakura had stopped crying and glared at Reiga. "Eepp!", I heard Reiga.

"Well... did you two know that Sara and Len are here in this restaurant?", Reiga asked.

"So he took her here...", I said to myself. I wonder if Len had told Kahoko. "By the way... Kahoko is not Sara", I corrected Reiga.

"Whatever... Len is such a newbie, I bet he'll be rejected. Isn't that great Silverylle!", Reiga said cheerfully and smiled at me. You have a chance to be with Sara, he thought. Obviously, he's happy to know someones going to have a broken heart. Sorry but not on my watch.

"Sorry but Kahoko isn't Sara", I said and hit him again.

"How can you be so merciless?", Reiga asked. He looks like he's about to cry.

"We're leaving", I told Sakura and we both left Reiga.

~Len POV~

What am I doing? Since we started eating dinner, we both were quiet. Is that normal? Well... I eat silently when I'm with my family but... is it normally quiet when eating with a girl you like? Maybe I'm doing something wrong here! Now that I think about it, I sound stupid...

"Yum! Their crème caramel tastes good!", Kahoko said. She looks like she's enjoying her dessert. She took another spoon of her dessert and looked at me. "Here, try it Len", she said while offering me the sweet dessert.

Uhhh... "But, I'm not quite fond of sweets", I said.

She blushed and then ate it. "I'm sorry, I didn't know", Kahoko said. She sounded disappointed.

Oh... Len! Did you just made her feel bad? Maybe this was what Yuu meant earlier! What should I do? I imagined myself hitting my head on the table.

Kahoko looked at me and said, "It's not bad to try, is it? Here". She offered the dessert again.

I looked at the yellowish, jelly like dessert... Ugh... Why did I let her have a dessert in the first place?

"Fine", I said and ate the dessert. I just realized how emberassing it was being fed at this age...

"How is it?", Kahoko asked with a big smile on her face.

... "Fine...". Too sweet! I think my sugar level just rised in just one spoon...

"That's great! Here, I'll share it to you", Kahoko said cheerfully.

Oh no! Please God! Can I refuse her? "Haha... I-I'll pass... you can have it all to yourself", I said calmly but on the inside I feel nervous.

She stared at me... Does she know I don't want to eat it? Uhh... What does it mean when a girl stares at you? Is it good or bad?

Kahoko stopped staring at me and took another spoon of crème caramel. She's quiet now... is that okay?

After a few minutes, I asked for the bill and the one who gave the bill to me was Reiga. "You look funny", he said.

"Shut up", I said. I paid it in cash so I wouldn't have to see him again.

"Hmm... Well, see ya later Len", Reiga said and left us. Oh yeah... he's temporarily living in my house... Why did I forget that fact? Why do I hate that guy anyway?

"Let's go. I'll take you home", I said to Kahoko and we both stood up and left the restaurant.

On our way to her house, she was awfully silent. I like it when it's calm and quiet but this silence is horrible! Look, I'm with Kahoko but... I feel like she's so far away! She's too quiet. What do you talk about in this kind of situation?

Ah! We can talk about violins... Wah~ I'm too attached to music. I wonder what she's thinking.

I looked at her. She had her eyes on the road. For some reason, I think she's perfect. Her hair, eyes, nose, ears, neck... Lips... They're perfect. Even though it's dark, I find her beautiful like she's the most beautiful girl in the universe... I want to touch her...

LEN! WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? Was that normal? I just sounded like a pervert! What the hell is wrong with me? I even thought of wanting to touch her!

"Ok, I had enough", I heard Kahoko say. She stopped walking and looked at me.

She had enough of what? Don't tell me she can read minds? No way! I must have sounded like an idiot and a pervert. Kahoko I'm sorry! I won't think of something like that again!

"Look...", Kahoko said.

"Y-yes?", I gulped. Is she going to tell me to stay away from her?

"About earlier...". What about earlier? I know that mind reading is possible now that Yuu and Reiga can do it but... Kahoko, don't tell me you can?

I closed my eyes, preparing myself to what she's going to say next.

"You looked pretty cute!", Kahoko said and laughed.

I opened my eyes seeing a laughing Kahoko in front of me. "Huh?", was all I can say. I don't get it at all...

"Well.. if you just saw your expression earlier after eating the crème caramel. You looked funny but cute!", Kahoko said.

Oh... EH? How did I look like back then? "How mean", I muttered.

"Haha Len, sorry", she laughed. "I couldn't stop myself from laughing anymore. I tried hiding it but... Everytime that I remember that time... I can't help but laugh", Kahoko laughed.

We both started walking again but now Kahoko is laughing. Wow... I feel like I want the silence earlier again.

After a few moments, Kahoko stopped laughing. "Oh... Sorry Len, that was rude of me", Kahoko said while tugging my sleeves.

I sighed. Well... at least I made her laugh... Unconciously. "You're forgiven", I said.

"Also...", Kahoko said.

Wait, there's more that she wants to laugh about?

Kahoko smiled. "I want to thank you for the dinner. It was delicious!", she said and gave me a kiss on the cheek.

I felt my face turn hot. "You're welcome", I said.

"Ah! We're here. Thanks for walking me home Len", Kahoko thanked me and opened her house gate.

That was fast. We're going to part already?

"Len, tomorrow both you and Yuu are going to prepare yourself for your flight, am I right?", she asked.

I nodded.

"Well... what time will your plane leave?", Kahoko asked.

"The day after tomorrow. About two am. We have to leave the house tomorrow about ten pm", I answered.

"So we wont be able to see each other tomorrow", Kahoko said. She looked disappointed.

"Yeah...".

"Well.. Do your best in the concert!", Kahoko said cheerfully and then smiled.

I can see her blushing. She looks cute... I leaned towards her and kissed her on the lips. I cannot resist myself from doing it but I hope she doesn't mind. I just realized how soft her lips were. I broke the kiss after a few seconds and whispered to her, "I will".

Well... now that I did something like that, I feel awkward. For some reasons, I feel emarrassed to look at her. I can feel myself blushing and my heart wont beat the usual way...

"Good night, Kahoko", I said and patted her shoulder.

"O-oh... G-good night, Len. Take care! B-be careful on your way home", she said and started walking on her way to her house.

After I saw her enter her house, I started heading to my own house. I feel really happy. I want to play the violin.

~Tsukimori Mansion~

"Welcome home, Len", I heard Yuu.

"Thanks", I said and closed the door behind me.

"How was your date? I mean dinner?", Yuu asked.

"It was fine", I said.

"Have you told her?".

"Told her?".

"Yeah, have you confessed?", Yuu asked. I looked at him and I saw him wearing a serious expression.

"Oh... No, I haven't", I said.

I saw him slap his forehead. "Len! We're gonna leave soon and yet you say you HAVEN'T? And you were gone like five hours! What did you two do in five hours?", Yuu asked and added, "I was only with Sakura for three hours but we were able to have a decent date in the amusement park. Though none of us confessed because we both think we're still young to have a relationship but... Len!".

Uhh... my younger brother is scolding me for not confessing... "Well... before we went to a restaurant for dinner, I brought her to the mall and let her shop for anything she likes. I bought a cute pink dress for her and also a teddy bear. We played in an arcade for a while and then visited a music shop. After the dinner, I took her home", I answered Yuu.

Wah! I forgot! And I was planning on saying it today! That was the reason for that dinner! Why did I forget the most important thing?

Yuu looked satisfied. "Well, at least you kissed her on your own", I heard Yuu. "Congratulation".

"Huh?".

In and instant, his satisfied expression turned into a scary one. "Tomorrow! Meet her! Tell her!", Yuu said, more like an order. Then again his expression changed. "That sounds forceful... Don't cry if Kahoko found a guy after we leave", Yuu said with an uninterested expression.

Yuu started walking away. Wait... "Hey! Does that mean Kahoko is-".

"I didn't say she will have one but there's a possibility", Yuu said in an uninterested expression.

... There's not only one sadistic person here... there's actually two...

Thanks for reading!
