Mamoru laughed to himself. He knew this was a good idea, but he didn't think she would be this excited. She quickly led him over to an empty bench that had the perfect view of the lake.
As Mamoru looked around, he noticed that many couples were already here, sitting on blankets and snuggling together due to the cool air. Once he had his fill of scenery, he focused his attention back on the Odango snuggled up beside him. She was completely lost in the beauty before them. For there, in front of them, was the most spectacular sunset they had ever laid eyes on. The golden light bled across the sky, and left a lovely reflection floating in the water. And along with it, beautiful shades of pink, red, and orange highlighted along the clouds.
"It's so beautiful." Usagi sighed.
"Not as beautiful as you." Mamoru blurted out. And the minute he said it he blushed crimson red. What was he doing? Was this a severe case of word vomit? This was the second… maybe even third, time he had lost all control to his mouth. He looked down at Usagi trying to think of an explanation.
"Mamoru, did you really mean that?" Usagi asked carefully.
"Y-Yes.." He replied, blushing even more.
Needless to say, Usagi was shocked. And I mean shocked. But as she considered his words, she decided she didn't want to wreck the moment, so she went along with it.
"Thank you."
'Wait... Thank you? That's it? She looked shocked, why didn't she freak out?' Mamoru thought to himself.
"Better than Odango ne?"
"Much." She replied, with a huge grin on her face.
"Now shush, I want to enjoy this." Usagi giggled as she playfully swatted his arm.
They sat and watched the sunset in a comfortable silence until twilight broke through the sky, and Mamoru decided it was time for the next location.
"Ready Usa?"
"Um, sure... For what?"
Mamoru grinned. "For dessert, Odango, what else?"
Usagi's face lit up after hearing one of her favourite words, and followed Mamoru back to his motorcycle. They sped through the dimly lit streets of Tokyo and soon arrived at Usagi's favourite dessert spot. The arcade.
"Here we are Odango, when we get in order whatever you like. I'm going to assume it will be the usual."
"Oh you know me so well." Usagi giggled.
Mamoru laughed along with her and followed her through the sliding glass doors.
"Hey Motoki! Can I get a chocolate shake please?" Usagi squealed.
"Hey man, I'll have whatever she's having." Mamoru said as he approached the counter, taking a seat beside the happy blonde.
"Well, well. What brings you two here together?" Motoki asked, knowing full well what was going on.
"Cut the act Motoki, I already know."
"Oh? You do, do you?"
"Yeah. Mamoru told me you wanted us to get to know each other better, so that we can stop fighting."
"Ahh, so he hasn't told you everything yet?"
"Everything?" Usagi repeated, as she gave Mamoru a confused look.
"Motoki, stay out of it." Mamoru warned.
"Mamoru, is there something else you need to tell me?"
"Usa, I..."
BEEP BEEP
"Oh crap. Uhh, Motoki... scratch that milkshake. I have got to go." Usagi said looking quite upset.
"What is that, a pager?" Mamoru asked, disappointed that she had to leave all of a sudden.
"Um, yeah you could call it that I guess. I have to go though, I am so sorry Mamoru!" Usagi yelled as she dashed out of the arcade.
