When...what...how...?
Leon was tongue tied and wide eyed as he drilled a hole into the Tomato Parmesan Vegetable soup. His hand loosened from hers without realizing it as his arm went limp from the shock, his head feeling like a bunch of air went into it and it was now floating around like a balloon.
When? He asked himself again, still baffled about why Sora was asking him this.
May was stiff behind them as she avidly watched. Here was a guy that didn't know about crushes and women and Sora just pops the question on him from out of nowhere.
This was so so much better than Hulu...
Sora didn't notice May's staring nor the moment when the occupants of the cafeteria turned to look when Leon dropped the metal spoon. When nothing else happened, they turned away from Leon except for Sora and May.
Sora's smile faltered when she felt his hand release hers.
"Did I say something wrong?" She was fine if this was their date, she hadn't brought it up in order to complain. She just wanted to be clear if it was or not. But the way he was acting had her lightly frowning.
Why won't he answer?
Leon swallowed as he attempted to gather his thoughts. "Why - When -" he paused as he couldn't find a way to begin. "What makes you think we're on a date?"
She awkwardly rubbed her hand along her arm. "Well, you asked me out on a date and here we are."
Asked me out Asked me out Asked me out... He nearly gaped at her. Was that what the phrase meant?
"I hadn't meant to."
Immediately, her smile faded away completely. "What?"
He ran a hand through his hair, the once comfortable warmth dissipating fast. "I, Dr. Kate had instructed me to ask out the one who caused my symptoms."
Sora blinked at the strangeness of his words, her hurt being pushed aside in favor of finding out what the heck he was talking about. "What symptoms?"
He couldn't believe he was discussing this in a cafeteria of all places...
"Dry mouth, rapid pulse, fluttering sensations," he looked down at his bowl of soup, "other such things."
He waited for her to say something, but time slipped by without a word from her. He chanced a glance at her and did a double take when he saw that her face was extremely red again. She had been that way when he first asked her out. He quickly looked away as the symptoms returned.
"Y-You feel that way around me?"
He gave a slow nod, but still faced away from her. She stepped close to him, looking over his face to catch a glimpse of something, anything that would demonstrate what he just told her. Her hand laid on his on the counter and her smile returned upon seeing him swallow hard.
"I get those feelings too," she quietly confessed.
