Shigure walked beside Nightingale, her hand in his. They were heading to her apartment so he could meet her younger sister. For the first time in a long time, Shigure felt nervous. This was important, very important. He really wanted Mimi to like him. He needed her to like him, because she is important to Nightingale.
They reached the door and Nightingale pulled out her key. She unlocked it and stepped inside. Shigure hesitantly followed behind her. Hari has it easy. He's already met Jin's family. Shigure thought to himself as he entered the small apartment. He met her family even before he met her.
After a few moments a young girl came from the back. She had long wavy brown hair and big blue eyes. She looks a lot like Tohru. Shigure thought with a small smile.
"Shigure this is my little sister, Mimi." Nightingale said. "Mimi, this is my boyfriend, Shigure."
Mimi walked up to Shigure with a big smile and extended her right hand.
Shigure took her hand and shook it. "It's very nice to meet you, Mimi." Shigure said smiling.
"I'm glad to finally meet you. Ever since Nightingale went to college and met you, all she's ever been able to talk about is you." Mimi said with a big smile.
Nightingale blushed slightly and then playfully slapped her sister.
Mimi stuck out her tongue at Nightingale and said, "You know you love me."
Nightingale pulled Mimi into a hug and mussed her hair. "So you tell me."
After a few moments, they all sat down and enjoyed a nice visit. Nightingale and Mimi went and prepared a small dinner and the three enjoyed a lovely meal. They talked and laughed. Then Mimi looked up at the clock. "I have to go. I'm meeting Momiji and Haru at the arcade."
"Okay, just remember to be back by ten." Nightingale said to her sister.
"Will do." Mimi said and then left.
Shigure pulled Nightingale into his lap. He gently pushed her hair back from the side of her neck and kissed the sensitive flesh there.
Nightingale giggled and pulled her neck away.
Shigure pouted. "I just wanna kiss your neck."
"But it tickles." She said with a smile.
Shigure flashed Nightingale an evil grin. "Then I'll just have to make you not so ticklish."
Nightingale eyed him suspiciously and then got up from his lap. "I don't know if I like the sound of that."
Shigure stood up and scooped Nightingale into his arms. He carried her over to the couch and laid her down. Then he bent over her and began to tickle her ribs.
"Stop it." She said giggling. She kept grabbing for his hands, but he kept tickling her. After a few moments, Nightingale was able to push Shigure off of her. As she did so, she fell off of the couch. Shigure reached out his arms for her and fell on his back as they landed. Nightingale was right on top of him.
When Nightingale looked at him, Shigure gave her a suggestive smile. "That's one way of getting this to happen."
Nightingale laughed and pushed herself up. "I don't think so." She said.
Shigure jutted out his bottom lip and stood up.
Nightingale reached up a finger and gently pulled his lower lip down. "You are so silly."
"But you love me." Shigure said grinning.
"That I do." She replied and kissed him.
"And you know what?" Shigure asked.
"What?" Nightingale replied with a smile.
"I love you…more."
Nightingale laughed. "In your dreams, Babe."
"I'll prove it." Shigure replied.
"How?"
Without a word, Shigure took Nightingale into his arms and dipped her backwards. He kissed her passionately. He pulled away grinning and helped her to stand up straight. "That's how."
Nightingale sat back down on the couch. She was suddenly feeling dizzy after that kiss. "I guess you win because that was one heck of a kiss." She said.
Shigure sat down next to her and pulled her into his arms and kissed the top of her head. The couple snuggled up and watched a movie.
Mimi arrived home on time and Shigure left and headed home. He was smiling the whole way. When he arrived it was very late and the teens were already in bed. Tomorrow was Friday. The weekend was just around the corner.
The next day, Shigure woke up to the smell of a wonderful breakfast cooking on the stove. He allowed his nose to lead him into the kitchen. He found Tohru standing at the stove, stirring some kind of soup.
She turned around. "Good morning Shigure." She said with a big grin.
"Good morning Tohru." Shigure greeted back and then yawned.
"You got home kinda late last night." Kyou said coming into the room.
"I was out with Nightingale." Shigure replied.
"Yeah, I know." Kyou replied and then walked over to stand behind Tohru. He put his hand at the small of her back and kissed her forehead.
Shigure shrugged and headed to the dining room. Soon breakfast was served and devoured quickly. Tohru looked up at Shigure. "Shigure, is it okay if I have tonight and tomorrow off?"
"Of course Tohru. A sleep over at your friend's?" He asked.
Tohru nodded. "Suki is having us girls all over at her house."
"You have fun." Shigure said.
"I'm going to go and stay with Shishou." Kyou said. "I haven't been over there in a while."
"So it will just be you and me then Yuki?" Shigure asked.
Yuki shook his head. "Sadly, I'm going to a school lock in."
"Is that where you stay all night at the school and play games?" Shigure asked.
"Something like that." Yuki replied. "It's for student council members."
"Well, you guys all have fun tonight." Shigure said.
Soon, the group of teens were gone and Shigure was left alone in the house. I wonder if Mimi will be at this sleep over Suki is having. He thought and then he called Nightingale's cell phone.
"Hello?" She answered.
"Hello beautiful." Shigure sang.
Nightingale giggled. "What's up?"
"What are you doing tonight?"
"Nothing. Mimi is going to a sleep over at Suki's house." She replied.
"Would you like to go out for dinner and dancing tonight?" He asked.
"I would love to!" She said, excitement evident in her voice.
"Okay, I'll pick you up at seven?"
"Seven is good." She answered. "I have to go. I have classes to teach. I love you."
"I love you, too."
They hung up and Shigure headed to his room. I'm so glad Tohru keeps everything so clean. Now what should I wear tonight? He thought as he stared t his closet.
