Chapter 23- First Date part two
.
Mikan sat on her bed dresser brushing her long silky brown hair, today was a big day for her, their date.
Putting on a white dress, and night blue flats, she headed out of the room.
She met up with Devon. The ice caster was wearing a black t shirt that contrasted his pale skin, grey slacks and sneakers. His bangs half covering his piercing ice blue eyes and his striking face attracting many.
"Hi." Mikan said.
"Hey." Devon replied casually. "You look pretty."
The brunette blushed; she was still not used to the boy's compliments.
He held out his hand. "Shall we go?"
She nodded and took his hand.
"West Field is sort of neat, it's like you have a real mall here." Devon said.
"Cool!" The chocolate eyed girl chirped.

"Oh my god! They are going on a date." A random girl said.
"NO!"
"There goes my chance with Sakura." One of mikan's admirers said.
"DEVON-SAMA!"
The pair sweat dropped, they wondered why the people were still acting this way.
But, surprisingly none of the people went near them.
This must be girls doing. Devon thought.
The fan girls, whom Yuki Hana had scarred for life, probably warned others about tampering with their relationship, saying that the consequences will be ominous.

"Can we go to that café there? I heard they had tasty treats." Mikan said.
Devon shrugged. "Sure." He said.
The lovely couple entered the café. They took a seat near the window.
The moment Mikan glanced at the menu she immediately started squealing.
"This looks yummy, oh, this one too and this one!" The brunette squealed. Devon smiled at her actions.
A waitress approached them, "Welcome to Etoile Rose, may I take your order?"
The two of them glanced up at the waitress, a lady in her thirties, smiling kindly at them.
"I want the Star-Crossed Parfait, the Le Strawberry short cake and the Mocha Bonanza for the drink." Mikan said. The lady started scribbling down on her notebook.
She then turned to the attractive boy. "What about you, sir?" she asked.
"Just black coffee and dark chocolate." Devon said.
"Okay." She said then left. A few minutes later, the waitress came back with their orders.
Mikan stared at Devon. "Black coffee and Dark chocolate, aren't those things bitter?" She asked.
He nodded. "I don't really like sweet things much; I guess bitter things suit my taste much more." The ebony haired boy said.
"Bitter things taste awful." She said.
Devon smiled a little. "Bitter things, such as dark chocolate and black coffee, may taste awful," he said stirring the coffee. "But can actually make you
Contemplate.
Mikan looked at him confused. He gave her a small smile. "It's alright if you don't get it." Devon said, taking a sip of the bitter coffee.
He speaks in puzzles, and at times, I can't understand him. Mikan thought.
(What Devon means is that sad/ bitter experiences allow one to think, sad experiences, lonely days, awful pasts, they all make us reflect about life.)
Mikan started eating her parfait. "Waaah…this is heaven on earth." She said, giving a dreamy smile.
On the other hand, Devon was cutting his dark chocolate into small squares.
Ah, yes, bitter things allow us to think don't they? He thought.
After eating, they went to many shops and stores. Then they decided to rest near the lake. It was near sunset.
Devon started to read, while Mikan was peering into the lake.
That stone is so pretty, I wonder if I can get it. The brunette thought.
She reached farther and farther until she slipped. He ice eyed boy immediately grabbed hold of her hand, but also slipped, causing both of them to fall into the lake.
"Ah, sorry Devon, you had to fall in too." Mikan apologized. "I saw something pretty in the lake and I thought I could get it."
He bowed his head and didn't answer.
"Devon?" The russet eyed girl inquired.
She could hear small muffled sounds, then low chuckles. Devon lifted his head, and Mikan heard and saw for the first time: the ebony haired boy was laughing.
"Y-you did that to get something pretty in the lake? You're definitely s-something else, you know that?" He said between breaths.
The brunette was in awe, the boy grew much more handsome and attractive when he was laughing.
"Sorry, I shouldn't laugh at you." Devon said.
Mikan shook her head and lightly touched his cheek. "I like you better when you're laughing." She smiled.
The boy's eyes widened. He looked at her warmly. "I hadn't laughed like that in a long time; it's thanks to you that I can be laugh and smile like this again." Devon said, kissing her forehead. He stood up and held out his hand.
"We should get back." The ebony haired boy said.
Mikan nodded and took his hand. The two of them returned to their dorms, soaking wet.
He kissed her cheek. "Night." Devon said.
"Good night." She replied.
The two lay on their beds, both thinking the same thing:
This was a great date.
