I is for "Ice-Cream"

There they were, at an ice-cream shop. It was their first date.

"Tohru," they were standing face-to-face, finding it impossible to find the words. He didn't want to miss this chance. He watched her from afar long enough. "Will you, if you are not too busy someday, go with me…somewhere?" He clearly did not plan it out.

Her cheeks flushed. "I mean, if you want. I will understand if you wish to take care of Shigure and the rest here. I will understand." She closed her eyes and smiled.

"I'd love to!"

So there they were.

They weren't talking about anything in particular; he would talk about his work, she would talk about her life. It would bounce back and forth between each other, all in-between them eating their ice-cream, of course. He got chocolate; she had strawberry (it suited her).

Soon enough, they were done with their treats. He didn't want to leave (she, too, was having too much fun with him) because he knew he would miss her presence night and day.

"Come on," he said, getting up from his seat. She followed suit. "I'll take you home," she smiled.

"Thank you, Hatori, for everything!" He nodded. "I'm glad I went with you today. We should do it again someday," Someday, he thought. He grabbed hold and walked hand-in-hand with her out the door.

He knew she blushed a strawberry pink color that he liked so much; she was surprised he did, too.
