A Date?

Eve was standing by the door, waiting for you after school was over. You were completely and utterly nervous, fidgeting in place, trying to keep your messenger bag from falling off your shoulder. Ara and Chung were beside you, exchanging glances.

"W-well..I hope you don't get slapped that hard.." Ara said, trying to reassure you. Chung grinned.

"Eh, I wouldn't worry about it. But, if she does slap you, you have permission to run from her and crash at my place, because I'll be oh so lonely without you, my dear [Name]."

"Chung you little buttpirate." you said, nudging him. "I don't think I'll run away from her that fast."

"Awww..." Chung frowned playfully. He patted you on your shoulder and said, "Go get 'em, tiger!" You replied by nodding and walking over to Eve, who was gently smiling at you.

"Are you ready to go?"

"Yeah, I think so. I've got everything, so where exactly are we going?"

"I was thinking we could drop our stuff off at my house, and then walk around town to look for something to do."

Huh. She's being really...friendly. I gotta change her skype name, don't I? you thought to yourself. Eve opened the door for you and the two of you began walking from the school into the rich part of town.

"You live down here?"

"Yes. I'm surprised you didn't know that."

"Well yeah, but..I always figured you lived in an apartment somewhere." you laughed nervously. An awkward silence quickly filled the air as the two of you made your way to a nice looking house at the end of the street. The two of you walked up to the door and before Eve put the keys in, she looked at you nervously.

"Okay, there are some things we need to take care of before we go inside of here," Eve said, turning around to face you with her famous icy, emotionless stare. "One: Try to be as quiet as possible. Two: Do NOT go to either of my sister's rooms, okay?"

You nodded.

She sighed in relief. "Good. Now, let's hurry." Eve turned around and inserted the key. You took a deep breath when the door creaked open, preparing for the worst.

She opened the door and you weren't shocked at what you saw. The floors were a nice, polished wooden, the walls were painted a brilliant silver, and there were paintings and pictures, dating back since Eve's elementary years hung up on the walls. The couch and chairs were mostly leather, and the coffee table sat in the middle. The rug that covered the floor was large and white, dotted with red and gray. The house really suited the student council head. Eve cleared her throat and said,

"You can put your bag on the couch. I'm going to get changed, so..make yourself at home, I guess. Don't forget your wallet." Eve walked away before you could reply, and you ended up wandering into the kitchen. The marble counter tops were smooth. And we're talking smooth like smooth fucking jazz. The fridge was completely full, and you resisted the urge to change into a black hole and devour everything in sight. On your way back to the living room, you heard a loud bang coming from the hallway leading out of the kitchen.

You, my dear protagonist, have two choices.

You can either one: Listen to Eve and kill the curiosity before it kill you.

Or...

You can go check out what that fucking loud ass noise was.

You, being the daring *cough*not*cough* person you are, you decided to poke your head out into the hallway. You regretted it. You really did. It was Add. Fucking. Add.

"Ah! Didn't expect to see you here, [Name]." he grinned, causing you to squeak like a mouse and back up into the kitchen. He followed you, leaning on the counter lazily, eying you with amusement.

"Add. What the everloving fuck are you doing here?"

"Ah, I'm dropping something off for dear Eve."

Your eyes glanced down to the package that looked suspiciously like the package your brother had gotten. "...Isn't that the same package my brother needed? Does Eve work with my brother?"

"No, she doesn't, it's for one of her sisters, but since they're sleeping, I'm giving it to her. That and the author of this story's just running out of ideas."

You shut your whore mouth Add.

Add grinned and glanced upward. "Sorry, it had to be said at least once. Besides, you've got stuff planned for this story. A little fourth wall breaking won't hurt."

Oh shut up. I'm pretty sure we've gone over this last chapter with Eve. So just hurry up. Oh, and Eve's coming down by the way.

Add's eye twitched as Eve appeared in the doorway. Eve analyzed the situation and her eyes narrowed.

"Add. What are you doing here?"

"Ah, my dear Eve. I came to drop this off for Apple-pie-"

"Do not call my sister that. You should not be here. Leave. Now, please." Eve's eyes never left Add's, and they stared at each other, waiting for the other to make a move. You were caught in the middle, your eyes flicking back and forth. Add's eyes showed amusement, while Eve's eyes showed nothing but murder.

Ugh. It's like when I was at Ara's house and we were eating. I wanted to ask for the salt, but the salt was right between their upcoming divorce...

"[Name]. Come over here, please. You know where the door is, so please show Add out."

"U-uh..sure, Eve. Come on, Add.." you took his wrist and led him to the door, opening it and glancing at him occasionally to find him staring at you.

"Well, getting caught wasn't exactly in my schedule, but alas, it is time for me to leave. Goodbye, Evey~!" Eve twitched. Add laughed and turned to face you with a smirk on his face. "And goodbye, [Name]." with that, he strode out the door.

Eve huffed, slamming the door once Add was off of the porch. "What an eyesore." You took in her casual outfit, which was mostly just a baggy sweater and a skirt. She cocked her head at your gaze. "Is there something wrong, [Name]?"

"N-no, I just..didn't really expect you to dress like that." you immediately facepalmed at how bad that sounded. She raised an eyebrow.

"Is there something wrong with the way I dress? Because it's not going to change."

"There's nothing wrong with it, it just-"

"Then you might want to get used to this, [Name]. It's how I dress when I don't really have any business to take care of." She folded her arms and looked away, muttering something under her breath. You took it as a signal to shut up. You both stood there in silence before Eve huffed again.

"Fine. Let's hurry up and get going. We'll come back here later to pick up your stuff. Then I can walk you home."

"..Okay." you shrugged, watching Eve put on her shoes. She yanked them on quickly and took your hand.

"Come on." without another word, Eve tugged you out the door and shut it behind her.

Meanwhile, inside of Apple's room, the young girl was awakening with a loud yawn. She stretched and looked around sleepily before dragging herself out of bed.

"Uuugh..I slept for way too long..Eeveeeey? Are you home?"

"Apple." her sister's nearly emotionless voice made her instantly snap to attention, due to her sister's tendency to slap others. It was just as bad as her little sister's, if not worse. She turned with a small, dazed smile on her face.

"Ah..hello, Proto. Have you been up long?"

"Actually, Eve was here with a friend from school, I think she may have a.." she paused, a rare smile forming on her face. "date."

Apple instantly went into fangirl mode with her famous squeal. "SHE DOES? Oh man, I can't WAIT to tell Add!"

"Add was here, you know. He dropped something off for you, talked to the ceiling, and left."

"Huh. Add does talk to the ceiling a lot, so that's normal. Ooh! It must've been that little stuffed Oberon I got!"

"You're still obsessing over that dumb anime robot?"

"HEY! Don't you dare talk about Oberon that way, sis!"

Proto groaned and rolled her eyes. "Oh boy. Eve better hurry up with her date, I don't know how much of this I can take.."

You and Eve ended up wandering into Barnes and Noble for a bit, and Eve had darted off towards the teen section with you in tow. She led you to the newest titles and began scanning the shelves. Oddly enough, as soon as you walked into the store, you felt like you were being watched.

"Hey, help me look for the new Alice in Zombieland book."

"You read that series?" you asked in a quiet tone. She looked at you with a gleam in her eye and nodded quickly.

"Of course. It's actually pretty good, but I could do without the romance-y parts. But that's pretty much a teenage romance in a nutshell. You see, Alice is actually a zombie hunter, and she and her boyfriend, Cole, along with several other zombie hunters, keep their town safe from the zombies that can eat spirits. You see, their spirits leave their body to fight the zombies, who are evil spirits that can-" she began launching into a summary of the first book while you stared at her with an odd look on your face.

It's...weird seeing Eve like this.. you thought, chuckling. She stopped and realization flashed across her face at how OOC she was being. She coughed and looked away.

"S-sorry. I just really like..the series.." she trailed off, her eyes avoiding your own. She silently scanned the shelves and suddenly grinned.

"Aha! Found it!" She grabbed the book and instantly flipped to the back, her eyes darting back and forth as she read the summary. She sighed, clutching the book to her chest. "Finally...I didn't have any money to buy it from amazon, so I had to come here for it. Sorry for dragging you here." she glanced at you, and then back at her book. When she looked back up at you, her eyes widened and she reverted back into Ice Queen mode.

"Oh. Hello, Raven." her tone was cold and hostile, aimed at whoever was behind you. When you turned, you stiffened. He seemed to be glaring at the two of you, and his gaze wasn't all that different from Eve's. They stood glaring at each other before he spoke up.

"Hello, Eve. If you mind me asking, what exactly are you doing here with him/her?" he glanced at you, causing you to instinctively ball your hands into fists at your side.

"I was here to look for a few books. Since I found it, [Name] and I will be leaving now. Please, step aside." her voice was impatient. She tapped her foot, waiting for Raven to step away from their exit. A smile formed on his face.

"Alright, I will, if you tell me if you've seen Rena."

She narrowed her eyes. "Is that what you're here for?"

"We came to do some shopping and she wandered off again. You know how she is," his smile got warmer for a bit before reverting back to his originally cold glare. "So, do you?"

"No, we haven't seen her, have we, [Name]?" Eve looked at you and the only message that was conveyed was 'I will KILL you if you answer otherwise.' Luckily, you hadn't seen here on your way in here, so you shook your head.

"No, we haven't..sorry."

He stared at you for a bit before nodding. "Okay, just making sure. Well, I'm off. Goodbye, Eve, [Name]." he turned around and walked away before you two could say anything. Eve growled.

"What was he doing here in reality? Was it gang business or what?" she muttered, staring at her feet. Without thinking, you answered,

"Gang business?"

Eve's head snapped up and she put a finger to her lips. "Don't say it too loud!" she said in a hushed tone. "Raven..he's the leader of a gang here.."

"He'll also be a crucial plot point later in the story, if everything goes correctly." a voice said from behind Eve. Eve spun around and saw a girl with short hair and brown eyes browsing through the books with a grin on her face. You blinked.

"Um..'plot point'?"

"Yeah!" she lit up, facing you with a grin. "You know, how you, the protagonist, goes and rescues the love interest from his EEVILL grasp~!"

You stared at her. "You're uh..sure you're not mistaken?"

"Of course not, [Name]! I was kidding about the..uh..evil clutches thing." she snickered.

"How do you know my name?"

"I know Eve's too! You know when Eve was talking to the ceiling? That was me. I control everything in this story. I could make a truck crash into the mall or make it start raining. I can make people suddenly become utterly in love with you. I CAN MAKE YOU INTO A MARY SUE!" she laughed loudly, causing the other patrons to stare at her. You once again felt embarrassed, so you put your hands inside of your pockets and sighed.

"Mary Sue?"

"Yeah! Eve can explain it to you, because she's an-MMPH!" Eve clamped a hand over her mouth, giving her an icy stare.

"That's quite enough out of you. Now, could you at least tell us your name?"

"Nah. That shit's confidential. Or at least, I'm letting it be." she replied once Eve let go of her mouth. Her eyes flicked between the two of you and she giggled. "Well, since you two are the canon couple according to the poll.."

"C-couple?!" Eve nearly shouted, stepping away from the girl. "You're insane! I-I'm just here to.."

"Seduce him/her~?"

"NO!" Eve's face was cherry red, and you were pretty sure yours was too. When you tried to meet Eve's eyes, she wouldn't look at you again. The girl laughed.

"Since I've gotta end the chapter now, I gotta go. Have fun on your date and.." as she was walking away, she turned to face you two again. "Congratulations. I. Ship. It." with that, she waved and seemed to fade in and out before disappearing into thin air, leaving you two staring at the space where she once was. The other customers, however, went back to their business like she was never even there.

"What..just happened?" you asked, still a bit dazed from your encounter.

"I..I don't know," Eve's face was still a bit red when she turned to face you, staring into your eyes. "But..couple? We..we're don't look like a couple, do we [Name]?"

Why did you have to ask me that? you internally groaned. You crossed your arms. "We..might to some people, but..I don't see how that's a bad thing."

"W-what?!" she became flustered again, her mouth open in a perfect 'O'. She began to shake, and her face got redder. She pursed her lips together and said,

"You..you FUCKING POTATO!" she kicked you in the shin, causing you to curse loudly and hold your wounded area.

"What the hell Eve?!" you hissed through your teeth glaring at her. She glared back.

"Why would you say that?! You idiot!" she huffed, crossing her arms.

JESUS CHRIST SHE'S SUCH A TSUNDERE! Love Freak [Name] shouted in your head. Pessimist [Name] was shaking his/her head.

You gotta hand it to the girl. You kinda did deserve it.

HOW? HOW DID I DESERVE A KICK TO THE SHIN? I'LL BE LIMPING FOR GOD KNOWS HOW LONG! Eve's voice snapped you out of your thoughts.

"Well, come on. I've still gotta pay for the book, and then we can go get something to eat while we discuss.." she looked away. "your tutoring."

You had forgotten that was what she wanted to talk about while you two were out. You nodded, wincing when you began to walk. She sighed.

"I'm surprised I didn't get us kicked out. S-sorry for kicking you. I wasn't thinking."

You nodded slowly. "It's fine, Eve. Just..don't do it again."

She nodded and smiled. "Where do you wanna eat? It'll be my treat for kicking you."

You glanced at her curiously. She was being so nice all of a sudden..it was scaring you. "Um..can we just stop by the pretzel place?"

"Yeah." you two went to the checkout, and the cashier rang up her book.

"That'll be $15.64." Eve nodded and looked at you expectantly. You cocked your head.

"What?"

"Well, since I'll be buying food, shouldn't you buy the book?" you sighed.

"Fine.." you handed the cashier the money hesitantly. Eve had a smile on her face again, and it wasn't a good one this time. When you two walked out of the book store, she giggled.

"Hehe, I can't wait to read this one. Thanks, [Name]. You're a good friend."

"Y-yeah, no problem." you looked around, feeling like you were being watched again. You caught a glimpse of rosy pink hair, white spiked hair, and..was that your brother you just saw?

"Something wrong, [Name]?" Eve placed her hands on her hips. "You're staring off into space again."

"Oh, sorry. I thought I saw.."

"Saw what?"

"My brother." you rolled your eyes. Of course he'd spy on his little sister/brother's 'date'. That chick did say you were a couple, but you're still not sure if she was just assuming things. The fact that she disappeared into fucking thin air was enough to make you believe her.

"Mmm. He might be here. Add works here too, so I wouldn't be surprised if he was here too. Perfect." she groaned, looking behind her. The moment she did, she instantly turned around and grabbed your hand, leading you the opposite direction.

"H-hey, what's wrong?"

"My sister's here. Apple," she began walking faster until the two of you reached the fountain in the middle of the mall's food court. She looked behind her again and let out another groan. "I was right. They're following us. If Apple's here, so is Add."

"Meaning my dear brother's here too," you shook your head. "Goddammit."

A smile ghosted across her lips. "We should probably just get our food and leave. It'll be getting dark soon, and the walk from the mall to my house was about fifteen-twenty minutes. We need to hurry."

"Yeah yeah.." your apartment was six blocks down from Eve's, a bit deeper into the city and closer to the school. So you really did need to hurry, since you got Science homework tonight.

"Well, the pretzel place is near here, so let's go." she took your hand again-gently, this time-and led you over to the pretzel stand.

Behind you, your brother, Apple, and Add were watching you from afar, smiles and smirks on their faces.

Apple giggled. "It's nice seeing Eve so relaxed. Usually she's all like-" Apple mimicked Eve's emotionless face before giggling. "Even I can't hold that face for long."

Add chuckled. "It is pretty neat seeing Eve like this. And your brother/sister too." Add turned towards your brother who was staring at you sniffling a bit. Add raised an eyebrow. "Hey, what's wrong?"

"Ooh! My little baby's all grown up!" he sobbed, hugging Add. Add in turn grunted, patting your brother's back awkwardly while Apple squealed.

"Eee! I ship it!" she clapped her hands together quickly before rushing over to help Add with your brother.

"Hey hey, it's okay.." Add sighed, petting your brother before your brother finally let Add go with a grin on his face.

"Gotcha."

Add rolled his eyes. "You jerk."

"Aww come on Addy~. You know you can't resist this." he slid up beside Add and winked. Add snorted.

"Oh please."

"Why won't you love me baby!" he attempted to throw his arms around Add, who ducked and hid behind Apple, who was bouncing up and down slightly and giggling.

"You're such a fangirl, Apple." Add muttered, noticing Apple's giddiness.

"I know!" she replied, her grin getting wider.

"She's more into the yaoi fangirl territory, Add," your brother said, stretching. "I'm pretty sure that's why she dragged us along to watch [Name] and Eve."

"Aww, but don't you ship it?" Apple huffed, putting her hands on her hips.

"I do," Add chuckled, resting his head on Apple's. "It may not be my OTP, but I ship it."

"I don't ship it." your brother said with a grin. "I am the motherfucking CAPTAIN of that ship."

Woo! Alright, Eve won the poll, so I changed the picture to..that. *points to story picture* Also, do you think that Reader-chan's bro needs a name? Tell me some names if you think of some. Nothing silly like Babooshka or Salami though. But now that I think about it..it might be pretty funny to hear Reader-chan call their bro Babooshka. But nah, just wait for the next chapter, and tell me some names please~!
