"Ten dollars says I can get a better score than you can." Isozaki challenged as the he and Kita walked through the street fair, eyeing game booths.

Kita examined the game that Isozaki was looking at, a pretty simple shooting-target type game. Kita was confident in his abilities to play this one and smiled at his date. "Ten dollars? Don't you need that money for replays since you are gonna need them to beat me?"

The taller boy crooked an eyebrow, unamused, and suddenly the game was on. The two boys sat down and bought corks to shoot at the targets on the other side of the booth. As the attendant explained the rule, the two gave each other a playful look. Kita was always very good at this game so he knew he would win. Before Isozaki had time to get all of his shots in, the redhead had won their round.

Isozaki was start-struck by how quickly their game had ended. Kita picked a small prize and put his hand out to the taller boy, expectant. With a confident smirk, the redhead took the 10 dollars and placed it on the counter for their attendant.

"That buys us three shots each." Isozaki mentioned as he watched this.

"Best of three wins then."

"And the prize for the winner?" He asked with curious amusement.

At this, Kita seemed to think for a short while. Isozaki watched his date's face as he racked his brain for prizes. Kita looked at all the cheap prizes that hung on the display wall and tried to think of something he would actually try to get out of this. Finally he decided, "How about my first kiss?"

The taller boys eyes shot open in shock. "Your…You've never been kissed before?"

Kita blushed and narrowed his eyes, "It was never on my priority list!"

"Besides," he continued "I think you should have to earn it. So.. If you win then I'll give you my first kiss.. But If I win than you have to buy my dinner tonight and for our next date.."

The words 'next date' made Isozaki's heart race. 'He is already thinking about another one?' the boy thought. His eyes scanned the redheads face for any lies but saw honest embarrassment in his expression. This was a real bet that was being made.

"Deal." Isozaki finally said.

With that, and a slightly surprised but excited reaction from his green eyed date, the two boys sat back down and readied their first shots. Isozaki noticed a difference in Kita's concentration this time around. The stakes seemed to rattle the shorter boy, which gave Isozaki a better chance.

They each took aim and made their three shots, each one seeming concentrated on intensely. The taller boy tried to get the targets that seemed to have the best point value and weren't very hard to knock over. He wasn't sure he'd ever tried this hard at a street fair game before now.

The attendant checked their points, and in the mood of things, gave a dramatic pause before telling them their scores. Isozaki's mouth got dry at the thought of himself winning. This was a prize that he wasn't sure he deserved already so winning sounded amazing and maybe a little wrong. Kita seemed less nervous but that didn't help Isozaki's nerves at all. Losing wouldn't mean things were over, but would he be disappointed if Kita won this round?

Finally the attendant told them the scores. "To the boy with the white in his hair…23″

Kita smiled when he heard this and that alone made Isozaki's heart jump into his throat. The attendant continued, "To the boy with the fire red hair …26″

A small "Yes!" was heard next to Isozaki's side. Somehow the outcome didn't feel like a real loss for Isozaki. It was fun, and this was a little less nerve racking. On top of it all, they had another date planned for sure after this.

The two looked at some other games before deciding to just share a big dessert and head home for the night. They told stories about their teams and stuff that their friends would get into. Isozaki held Kita's hand for the rest of the night and even on their walk back to the redhead's house. All of the Kita's stories seems so happy and lively. He talked about all the friends that have come and gone since he's been in school. He talked about his current lot of friends and even kids he talked to on other teams.

As charismatic as Isozaki was told he was, Kita seemed to gravitate people to himself naturally. As the redhead talked, Isozaki just watched him. He watched he shorter boys eyes light up about certain stories, watched his face change with the mood of what he was telling, and thought about how nice those lips might have felt if he had one at the last game they played.

Once at Kita's house, they stood facing each other and just stared into one another eyes. They stood like this for a long while, Isozaki's thumbs running over the backs of Kita's hands as they stood. Moments passed before the taller boy let go and took a step away, knowing that if he didn't leave now then he wouldn't want to.

"We'll go see a movie for our next date." Isozaki stated cooly.

"Hey, wait." The redhead interjected, making the taller male stop in his tracks.

"You owe me a kiss!"

Isozaki blinked, "But-"

"You lost.." Kita interrupted. "I know but.. maybe I deserve it.."

The two stared at each other for another moment and the redhead finally showed how nervous he was, ducking his head down before continuing, "Since I won and all.."

The taller boy blinked again, waited another moment, then stepped into Kita's personal space. The shorter boy looked up with his heart in his eyes, it was obvious that he was nervous. Isozaki licked his lips and leaned in slowly, watching the redheads eyes slowly shut as he prepared for his prize.

Kita waited like that for what felt like forever, trusting completely in Isozaki to show him what to do. But as he waited he started to feel impatient. Just as he started to open his eyes again, he felt something soft touch his lips. The soft feeling became warm and hands touched his cheeks.

Isozaki held the sweet kiss for a few more seconds before he pulled away, keeping his hands around Kita's cheeks, and rested his forehead against the smaller boys. Kita's eyes fluttered open just enough to look into Isozaki's beautiful blue ones.

"Goodnight, Kita.." The taller boy said softly.

With that, he stepped back once more and headed out towards the road. Kita watched him, cheeks still red, until he disappeared. He continued to stand outside for a few more minutes, the warmth on his lips still lingering like the kiss had never ended. Eventually Kita went inside and laid on his bed, still thinking about it.

This was.. the best night of his entire life
