-Sang's POV-

I woke up Sunday morning sandwiched between Kota and Nathan. I glanced over at the clock and it said 5am. Somehow I woke up before the guys and even before the sun. Today was my first real date. Kota and I are going to the museum after lunch. I think I am too excited to sleep any more. If this is how I feel before every date I don't know if I will get any sleep.

I had to slide out from under Nathan's arms roll over Kota without touching him. I have to admit I think I am starting to get pretty graceful, maybe even stealthy.

I went into the bathroom and took a long bath. While I relaxed in the warm water I tried to think of what I would wear today with Kota. As if on cue, my phone buzzed.

Gabe: Trouble, I know you have your date with Kota today. What time do you want me to come over to help you get ready?

He was serious about that? I can't believe he would do that for me. And why was he awake? Was he doing something for the Academy?

Sang: I don't know, Kota said we would leave after lunch. Why are you awake?

Gabe: You always ask a lot of questions, Trouble. I'll see you at 11am.

That meant something with the Academy. Would they ever be able to tell me what they were doing? Not if Kota has anything to say about it, but I think I could convince almost all of the others. Maybe then they could over rule Kota. I felt bad thinking about it that way, but I want to prove to him I can handle it, but how can I do that if he won't give me a chance?

I soaked for a little while longer then got out to dry off and get dressed. I walked into Nathan's room, but noticed that the bed was empty. I heard some clanging in the kitchen and started to head that way. I saw Kota taking ingredients out of the fridge, he must be getting ready to make us breakfast. Where's Nathan?

Kota spun around and smiled as soon as he saw me. He pushed his glasses up before placing everything on the counter. "Nathan is getting his workout in. He should be done soon actually. How was your bath?"

Had I asked my question out loud? If he is almost done, how long has he been awake? "My bath was good. It felt good to relax."

"I know, we have been keeping you busy lately. We all need a chance to relax." I wanted to tell him that Gabe was coming by to help me get ready, but I didn't know if he would be mad.

"I heard Gabe is coming by to help you get ready for our date." The amazing Kota strikes again. It is like they can all read my mind. His eyes practically twinkled when he mentioned our date. It made me feel warm inside knowing he was just as excited as I am.

"He said around 11am. Is that okay?"

His eyebrows scrunched together and his head tilted to one side as if considering something. "Of course it is fine, why wouldn't it be?"

"I just thought it would be weird for you to have Gabe come get me ready for our date."

"I don't think I could keep Gabe away even if I wanted to Sang. But no, I don't think it is weird. We are all in this together and this is Gabe's way of showing that he is okay with the situation. Are you okay with it?"

"Well he already picks out my outfits for school and everything else we do, so I don't see the difference I guess. I admit I was a little nervous about what I would wear for my dates. I have never been on a real date before." The admission popped out of my mouth before I could stop it. Of course he knew that I had never had a boyfriend before, they all did, but it was embarrassing to talk about it.

"Sang." Kota stopped what he was doing with the food and came around to me. He picked up my hands and brought my knuckles to his lips. Then he brought his forehead against mine. I could see his eyes close as he took in a deep breath. "Sang, I can guarantee you that whatever you wear today, you will be the most beautiful person at the museum. Please don't be nervous. But to be honest with you, I am nervous too. I want this to be perfect for you."

I had no words. He said I was beautiful, he said he was nervous too. How could he be nervous, of course he would make this day perfect for me. Before I had a chance to form a complete sentence in my head, I heard the patio door open and shoes skidding on the floor. I broke apart from Kota to see Nathan looking right at us. He didn't look mad, but he looked confused. Maybe this had something to do with what we discussed yesterday. I hope he was as okay with this as he said he would be.

"Sorry…to uh…interrupt. I'm just going to go shower." And with that he disappeared down the hall. I just stared after him, wanting to go reassure him but wanting to continue my moment with Kota at the same time.

"Nathan's still getting used to the idea of all of this. But don't worry Sang, he will come around."

I turned back to Kota. "I know, we talked about it yesterday. I think it will be an adjustment for all of us, but I am glad he was honest with me. I hope everyone can be honest with how they are feeling about this."

"They will, we all know how important this is. Come on, help me make breakfast. We have a few hours before Gabe will be here."
