The occupants of the car sat frozen as the water from the broken hydrant heavily rained on the front windshield. Leon had backed the car a little bit, but did not move it any further. He wasn't sure how badly damaged the engine was and didn't feel like adding 'car exploding' to the list of grievances.
He was already a bad date; he didn't feel like bumping it to "Worst Date."
Idly, he turned off the car as he thought about all of this.
Sora continued to look at the water gushing out and faintly heard pedestrians exclaiming over the accident. Some cheering and whooping made her realize that there were a few kids running about in the water like they were in the sprinklers.
She blinked and then turned to look at Leon.
Somberly, he turned to her, bracing himself for some sort of yelling or exclamations about how terrible a date he made this out to be.
She burst out laughing.
"Haha - I've never - seen - hahah! - been a part of - haha! - this!" her hand gestured around them in a laid back manner. She leaned her head against his shoulder, yelped for she had accidentally put pressure on her boo boo but then shifted to the right and she was ok again, and continued to laugh.
He couldn't decide if he was relieved or concerned.
Her laughter soon quieted to a tittering. She looked up at him with humor dancing in her eyes and beaming from her lips. His concern for her mental health eased and gave way to that warm, fluttering feeling.
"We should probably get out," she half laughed.
He nodded at that. He grabbed his coat from the middle of their seats and reached over to the glove compartment on her side to pull out his car insurance. Unwittingly, the back of his hand grazed her leg, the warmth shooting from her limb and up her spine at super sonic speeds.
Zing!
She both stiffened and bit her bottom lip.
He had felt the smoothness of her leg and his hand jerked away. From the corner of his eye, he caught her sitting up straighter, but he also saw the moment when her lower lip was slightly pulled into her mouth and her eyelids drooped just a little.
He felt his own zinging thrill along his spine at the sight.
They were back to sitting and staring straight ahead.
"Did you -" she half croaked out but then stopped in order to wet her suddenly dry mouth, "Did you," she restarted and turned to him to ask him directly if he had felt that zing up his spine, however, the words were stuck in her throat as she stared at the intensity of his grey eyes.
"Did you want me to grab some papers for you?" she asked instead.
He gave a nod, his eyes still on her as he watched the blooming pink on her cheeks. But then the bump on her forehead caught his attention.
It had swelled to the size of a golf ball.
"You still need some ice," he said and then got out of the car.

It was chaos the moment he stepped out of the car.
He couldn't see it all, but he heard the exclaims of adults and the happy screaming of the kids. A police siren was faint, letting him know that someone had called them for him.
That was one less thing he had to do.
Coat over his head, he quickly fast walked away from the water. The bottom of his pants got wet, but the rest of him was dry. Once at a safe distance, he uncovered himself and turned around to look at the damage. A second later, he realized his mistake as his coat-less date quickly ran to him with the water hitting her directly.
He slapped a palm to his forehead.
If the accident hadn't ruined the date, he was sure his oversight had her determined not to go on another date with him. But he did not think anymore on that for Sora now stood in front of him, soaked from head to toe.
And she was wearing light colored clothing.
With a hot pink bra showing through.
"I hope you don't mind that I folded your papers," she said as she lifted her purse for him to see. With a huff, she pushed aside her wet bangs when she had trouble seeing him. She yelped yet again as she touched her swelled injury. Once that was done, she blinked as she saw his coat in her direct line of vision and his head turned to the side.
Was it just her or was there some red on his upper cheeks?
"Take it," his hand moved up and down.
She shivered a little as a car passed by and caused some air to blow on her. She gratefully took the coat, audibly sighing as it slowly warmed her.
"Thanks."
He ventured a glance and upon seeing the coat on her - the large size drowning her in fabric - he nodded again. She offered her purse and he took it, pulling out his insurance paper. He caught the sight of a pink chapstick and the red on his face returned, recalling what he had seen.
He had a feeling he was going to have another bizarre dream tonight.

AN: Of course their date couldn't go so smoothly. XP
