loud friends and an unexpected proposal
..
She agreed to meet him on Friday, after school, just the two of them, without Kurosaki.
It appeared that the Kurosaki guy has part-time job every Friday.
And so, here he was, standing with her outside a donut shop.
Mister Chappy's Donut, a donut shop with weird name and an even weirder owner.
Firstly, the owner's hair is red.
Secondly, the owner is obsessed with tattoos.
Thirdly, the owner is, apparently, obsessed with bunnies, too.
The shop was decorated with fluffy looking stuff toys and bunny themed furniture.
A woman in front of them purchased a cup of hot beverage, it smelled like coffee.
He frowned.
It was served in a blue ceramic cup with yellow little bunnies on it.
He wonders if they are serving bunny-shaped donuts too.
..
..
After an introduction to the owner and his girlfriend, a petite girl with a loud voice, they were sitting at a corner in the shop with a bunny-shaped donut and two cups of hot chocolate.
He remembered she likes donuts, but today she is not having any.
She was slipping her hot chocolate slowly in front of him and she was awfully quiet.
Suddenly, she narrowed her eyes in determination and pumped her fist in the air, her drink sloshing dangerously in her hand.
He blinked at her and she beamed at him.
Then, she started talking.
..
About those little blue men that enjoy stealing her foods and occasionally, tripping her.
About the mecha anime she watched yesterday with piloted robots blasting each other with laser beams.
About her friends, her teachers, sewing club, her part-time job and her secret recipes.
Watching her, he realized that he likes the way she talks.
Then, she paused and looked at him hopefully with her big, bright eyes.
He sighed, looked like it was his turn to talk.
..
She didn't ask him the reason for leaving five years ago and he didn't ask her the reason why she has a punk with orange hair as a boyfriend.
..
..
By the time he walked her home, it was already a little past nine at night.
Although it was not snowing, the air was cold.
They stopped by a sukiyaki store after leaving the donut shop.
It was a traditional Japanese themed sukiyaki store managed by a busty blond and a silver man with slit eyes.
He didn't know how he survived the last two hours.
The blond drank a lot of sake and kept on shouting nonsense at their table.
The man kept on showing him his collection of wakizashi and flashed him his mocking smile.
It was chaotic.

"Thank you for walking me home. P-please be careful on your way home. Beware of the little blue men! The weather lady said it'll snow tomorrow. We can make snow angels together! I hope there will be enough snow to build aliens and bunnies and—"
"Orihime."
"Huh?"
"I want you to come to the states with me."
