"So, what did you want to ask me just now Ren?"Oh right! I almost forgot! "Are you free tomorrow?" He raised an eyebrow. "Tomorrow? Hmmm~ Is Ren asking me out on a date?" He winked. I blushed again and nodded. "Wanna go watch a movie together?" He grinned. "Sorry, it's fun to tease you! Ofcourse I'll go!"
I'm the luckiest guy on earth right now!
Yaaaay~ With that, we both exchanged phone numbers, and got back home. I'm so excited for tomorrow!
[Next Day]
Today is a weekend, so I got up, had breakfast, watched TV, and went to buy the tickets for us! I can't wait! I was so excited that I got there an hour earlier! I'll just waste time until he shows up.
[RING] I looked at the phone, to check who the caller was, it's Ryouta!
[Hey Ryouta!]
[Hey Ren! I called to check up on you. Where are you?]
I can't tell him I was so excited that I showed up an hour earlier, I'm a guy! It'll sound so lame.
[Umm I was getting dressed, you?]
[I just got done with basketball practice, I'll get changed and meet you there soon, yea?]
He sounds so cool about it, am I the only one nervous here?!
[Y-Yeah! I'll meet you there! See you!]
[Yeah, see you!]
(CLICK)
Whew! I hope I didn't sound nervous on the phone! Damn it! Man up Ren!
"Excuse me young man" I look back to check who it was.
An old lady?
"I dropped my purse somewhere around this area, will you please help me find it?" I smiled at her. "Yeah! Ofcourse I'll look for it. What does it look like?" She smiled. "It's a small pink purse with a floral design on it." I nodded and started looking around for the purse. I hope I find it, if someone else saw it they might have taken the purse.
[40 minutes later]
I sighed out loud in frustration. I looked almost everywhere! Where is that purse?! If I don't find it soon, I'm gonna be late for the movie! I kept looking around and then I heard my phone ring again.
[H-Hello?]
I was panting from all the running around I did.
[Ren? Are you okay? You sound exhausted.]
Crap. What do I tell him?
[I'm fine! I'll meet you there soon!] (Click)
I ran as fast possible to the theatre and looked for the old lady to tell her I couldn't find the purse. Where is she!? Damn it! I looked around then I accidentally stepped on something.
THE PURSE! Finally!
I grabbed it and looked for the old lady again and still couldn't find her. The phone rung again, Ryouta is gonna kill me.
[H-Hey …]
[Where are you? We're gona miss the movie if you're late …]
I know that!
[I'm sorry Ryouta! I'll be there soon, I promise] (Click)
I hung up on him again.
I was deep in thoughts until someone pulled my shirt from the back. "Young boy, did you find it?" YES! FINALLY! "Yes ma'am! I was looking for you, there you go." I handed the purse to her and smiled. She patted my head. "Thank you very much boy. You're very kind. I'm sorry I wasted your time." I grinned. "No worries! It wasn't a waste of time, I'm glad I found your purse! Just be careful next time. Take care!" She smiled back and nodded.
With that, I hurried to the meeting point as fast as I can. And I spotted Ryouta as soon as I got there. "Ryouta! Sorry for being late! I was held back a bit." He frowned. "Is everything okay? You seem really worn out." Ahhh man! I'm probably in a mess cuz of the running around I did just now. "Don't worry about it! I'm fine! Let's go, I got us the tickets already!" He nodded and we both entered the theatre.
[50 minutes later]
We were enjoying the movie and all, but for some reason, I was too busy blushing the whole time day dreaming about Ryouta instead of watching the movie. I glanced at him. He looked so perfect.
I feel like a huge disappointment of a lover to him. I mean, look at me, and look at HIM!
GAHH! I'm starting to sound like one of those crazed fan girls!
I really want to hold hands with him … I know it's a girly thought. But, lovers normally hold hands, right? …
"Oi Ren!"
"Eh? Ryouta? Whats wrong?" He sighed. "I called your name about 7 times! What's wrong with you? Are you okay? You've been acting weird ever since you picked up the phone the second time I called you."
How do I explain what happened? I really don't want to tell him that I was here an hour earlier!
"Look, if you don't want to talk about it, just say so. You're the one who asked me to come with you in the first place, don't show up all messed up for god knows what reason and be absent minded the whole time. Tch." He got up to walk away the moment he was done talking.
NO! He misunderstood! I have to do something about it!
I grabbed his wrist to stop him but I couldn't, he slapped my hand away immediately. We both left the theatre since he was walking away and I was running after him trying to stop him. "Wait, Ryouta! Please listen to me!"
He stopped and turned around to face me. "Explain yourself right now." D-Damn it! "Ummm … I …" He looked like he was about to scold me again, "Young boy! I was looking for you."
Her again?! NO! I'll be exposed!
"I wanted to thank you for earlier. So I thought I'd buy candies for you and your girlfriend, you were waiting for her before I asked you to help me look for my purse, no? It took you almost an hour to find it, so I wanted to properly thank you."
I was seriously freaking out! Ryouta looked speechless. I nervously smiled at her and took the candy she handed me.
"T-Thank you. You 're really kind." She grinned. "So, where's that pretty girlfriend of yours?" I was as red as a tomato! GIRLFRIEND?! Ryouta is gonna kill me! She looked at Ryouta and was surprised, "Oh my, it's not a girlfriend." I sighed in relief.
"It's a prince charming boyfriend!"
GAAAAAHHHHHH! I'm doomed! Ryouta was seriously speechless! SO WAS I!
"My my, don't be shy! Nothing's wrong with that! Love knows no race or gender!" Ryouta and I were officially stupefied! With that, she left. "So … the reason you showed up late and exhausted … was …" I nodded and sighed. "Why didn't you just say so from the beginning?" I glared. "Because I'd sound like a girl if I told you I was too excited that I showed up an hour earlier, and then while watching the movie, I was absent minded because I was too busy daydreaming about how perfect you are! OKAY?!" His eyes widened.
I felt a hand pat my head. "Idiot, it makes me happy when you say that." …Eh? … I look at him to see him smiling. His face was TOO CLOSE to the point that if his face got any closer, I would faint! So I turned my face to the other side in embarrassment. He chuckled at my reaction.
After a while, Ryouta said he'd walk me home, which made me insanely happy ofcourse. It was so quiet though. I didn't know what to say! … I really want to hold his hand. "What's wrong?"
Huh?
"Eh?" He raised an eyebrow. "You sighed." Oh crap. Why do I always do that!? I want to hold his hand! What am I so nervous about! I'll just do it! With that thought in mind, I immediately held his hand and avoided eye contact! He didn't say anything at all. I wanted to see his reaction damn it! I looked at him to see Ryouta staring awkwardly at our hands.
He probably didn't feel comfortable. I let go of his hand. "S-Sorry …" My cheeks were suddenly pinched! "Ow-Ow-Ouch!" Ryouta smacked me in the head. "W-What was that for?!" He sighed and replied. "You dumbass, I was just surprised, that's all!" As soon as he said that, he took my hand in his and held it tight.
"R-Ryouta …" He eyed me waiting for me to continue. "I really … love you …" His eyes widened at what I said. I was hoping he'd reply or something but it was too quiet again. I tightened my grip out of nervousness. And out of nowhere, I realize I was being hugged by Ryouta.
"Ren … I'm really sorry about how I acted with you when you first confessed to me, I was confused … and scared. Then after I supposedly left with the others for karaoke, I kept thinking about it. Whenever I saw you with Shirasagi, it pissed me off. You guys were really close, to the point that it made me anxious. And when I found out he got a girlfriend, I was relieved. And for god knows what reason, I was really happy when you called my by my first name. Being around you, made me happy …"
I was so shocked with his sudden confession that I was speechless.
"Ren …?"
"Y-Yeah?" Without realizing what was going on, I felt his lips on mine. We shared that kiss for almost 2 minutes. My heart was about to burst. It's beating so loud I could swear he can hear it.
"I love you Ren"
He … loves me. Ryouta loves me.
I couldn't say anything at all. I was so quiet that he started freaking out.
"Oi … Why are you so quiet? …" I laughed at his state of freaking out. I shook my head. "I'm really … happy. At first, I thought that you hated me… Even though I somehow managed to get through to you and you agreed to be with me, I didn't feel confident about it. I was scared you were going to back out any time … so, hearing you say this now, then taking my first k-kiss, ofcourse I'd cry of happiness!"
I was so embarrassed while saying this so I was looking at the ground. He didn't say anything at all so I had to look at him. "Ehhh?" He's blushinnggg more than I am! No way! I chuckled. He looked so cute! "S-Shut up! Don't laugh! You alwayyyyss blush! LIKE A GIRL!"
LIKE A G-GIRL?!
"I DO NOT! I only blush around you! It's your fault that I always look and sound lame!"
He laughed at my reaction. "You're so cute Renn~ I really love you." I felt my cheeks heat up. "Hahhaha, see? You blushed again!" I glared and replied. "DON'T SURPRISE ME WITH A LINE LIKE THAT!" He ruffled my hair. "Aren't you gona say it too?" I lowered my eyes. he keeps making me feel so awkward!
"I-I really love you too …"
He smiled at that and kissed me again. "Come on, let's go." I was stupefied at how good he was at shocking me to the point that my brain stops working. He held my hand and walked with me till I reached home. Man, I'm so glad I decided to take a walk outside yesterday! I'm so happy! There's school tomorrow, I cant wait to tell Gen and Yanagi about this!
That's it for chapter 4! I feel sorry for Ren, that old lady kinda ruined his date. Sheesh, people always get in the way. Well, at least she gave them candies … right? Oh man, I love Ryouta~ Anyways, please favorite, follow, and review if you can! Thanks!
