Chapter 12
Ai and Syo were sitting on the couch next to each other and everyone was staring at them. Syo, "What are you staring at?" Ranmaru, "It's weird, why aren't you two all over each other?" Ai, "We know how to refrain our intentions, we also just began dating." Reiji was giving Syo the evil eye. Reiji, "Ai-Ai! Don't forget you promised to cook dinner tonight!" Ai, "I remember, I'm not the one to go back on my word remember." Syo, "Ai may I help you." Ai looked at him, "Sure." Natsuki, "Can I help!" Ai, "Natsuki, even though I love your cooking, this can be like a little date for me and Syo." Natsuki, "Can I take pictures!" Syo, "No!" Ai looked at Syo telling him with her eyes something then Syo looked at Natsuki, "Fine you can take pictures, but they aren't to leave this dorm, ever." Natsuki, "Okay!" Ai, "Syo we better start cooking." Ai was about to get up when Syo got up first then grabbed her hand and helped her up. Ranmaru, "I thought Ai would be a seme not a uke." Syo blushed at that. Ai, "What does that mean?" Syo, "Never mind, lets go!" Syo still held Ai's hand while blushing at what Ranmaru said as they walked out the room.
As Syo and Ai held hands and walked towards the kitchen Ai looked at Syo again, "What does seme and uke mean Syo? That statement made you blush rather profoundly." Syo, "Uke is a Japanese verb 'ukeru' which means receive its used to say bottom or passive in a homosexual relation. The uke is usually shorter, cuter, and sweeter of the two… generally. Then there's the seme which is the dominate partner. Interestingly, though in most places the dominant partner gives both anal and oral." Syo was blushing beat red. Ai was also blushing. "Thank you for explaining." They walked into the kitchen and Ai went over and Ai went and grabbed a full body apron to put on. Syo followed but he only put on the apron that you put on your waist. They then washed their hands. Ai, "Lets see what we can make for dinner from what we have." The two began searching the cabinets and fridge for things. Ai, "I guess we can make Ginger Glazed Mahi Mahi." Syo, "What's that?" Ai, "Ginger Glazed Mahi Mahi bursting with flavor and combines both sweet and sour taste sensations. The normal recipe serves 4 and has 259 calories, so that be the perfect thing." Syo, "What do we need." Ai, "Well to make the amount we need well need 9 tablespoons of honey, 9 tablespoons of soy sauce, 3 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar, 3 teaspoon grated fresh ginger root, 3 clove garlic, crushed or to taste. 6 teaspoons olive oil, 12 (6 ounce) mahi mahi fillets, enough salt and pepper to taste, 3 tablespoon vegetable oil." Syo nodded and the two of them grabbed the stuff needed and started cooking.
First Ai started cooking rice in a rice cooker then she grabbed a shallow glass dish and stir together the honey, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, ginger, garlic and olive oil. While Syo seasoned the mahi mahi fillets with salt and pepper and place them into the dish Ai was preparing. Ai, "Now we need to place the fillets skin side down and have then refrigerate for 20 minutes so they can marinate. Once the 20 minutes were up Ai told Syo to heat up vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. While Syo was doing what Ai said she removed the fish from the dish and reserved the marinade. Ai the placed the Mahi Mahi in the skillet, "Fry each side 4 to 6 minutes on each side, turn it only once until it flakes easily with a fork." Ai noticed Syo was about to make a mistake so she got behind him and guided him. Syo, "Shouldn't this be the other way around." Ai, "Who said?" Ai then helped Syo when frying each Mahi Mahi then when they were done placing each one on a serving platter to keep them warm. Ai decided that she'll do the rest and she poured the reserved marinade into the skillet and heat it over medium heat until the mixture reduced to a glaze consistently. She then grabbed a spoon and glazed it over the Mahi Mahi. Ai, "Syo grab the others and tell them to get into the dinning room now." Syo nodded and went to tell the others. Ai then quickly added rice to each plate and she cut 3 oranges into 4 circle slices each then added a bit of rosemary on the top just add more color. Syo came back into the kitchen. "They're all in the dinning room now." Ai, "Lets carry out the food then." Ai was able to balance 7 dishes while Syo stayed with a safe two and they carried them out. Syo placed down two he had and Ai was skillfully placing down all of her plates. Syo had prepared the dinner table while the Mahi Mahi was marinating. Syo then went in and grabbed his and Ai's plate then placed it in front of Ai first then himself. Everyone, "This looks amazing!" Ranmaru, "Damn the love couple didn't have a make out session in the kitchen after all Ren you owe me $20." Ren handed him 20 dollars. Reiji, "Ai-Ai and Syo's love is in this dish!" Ai blushed, "Shut up and eat." Everyone took a bite and they were in heaven. Camus, "Mikaze I didn't know you could cook." Reiji, "Ai-Ai's an angel when he's in the kitchen!" Syo, "He had to show me what to do." Ai, "You did really good Syo, you did a really good job following directions." Natsuki had a camera. "Look at this picture everyone!" Natsuki had slipped in and took pictures while they were cooking. Natsuki passed the camera to Reiji, "This is actually really cute!" It was when Ai was helping Syo cook the Mahi Mahi. Ai's arms were around Syo guiding him in what to do. Reiji, "Shouldn't it be the other way around?" Ai and Syo didn't have a clue of which picture they were looking at. Ranmaru, "Here I thought Ai was the uke, he might be the seme after all." Syo and Ai blushed. Ranmaru, "Looks like someone explained it to Ai." Natsuki took the camera back and took a picture of Ai and Syo blushing. Ai, "Your going to torment us now aren't you?" Ranmaru, "Its fun, your actually showing emotions." Syo whispered something to Ai and she nodded, they thought this might be the only way to get them to stop making jokes. Syo grabbed Ai's mouth and brought their mouths together in a rough passionate kiss. Everyone blushed at the action. Natsuki was blushing profoundly but he took pictures. Reiji, Ranmaru, Ren, Masato, and Tokiya actually had a bloody nose." Everyone else was blushing really bad. When Ai and Syo separated from the kiss there was slight saliva indicating there had been tongue action. Ai and Syo just stared at the group, Ai, "Want to say anything else?" Everyone shook their heads in a no before finishing their food and cleaning the dishes.
Ai, "I liked that rough kiss that you just did." Syo, "Really?" Ai got closer to him, "Yes my seme." Syo blushed profoundly and Ai giggled. Syo stopped what he was doing stared at Ai giggled, one of the rare times Ai actually acted like the girl she was. Syo pulled Ai over to him. Ai, "Syo?" Syo, "Ai I want to tell you this now, if I ever say your cute, I'm looking at your smile. If I say you're hot, I'm looking at your body, if I say your pretty, I'm looking at your face. But when I say you're beautiful that I'm looking at your heart. And right now you're both beautiful and cute." Ai, "Thanks Syo." They heard a flash from behind them and turned around and saw Natsuki and Reiji there. Ai, "When will you stop following us?" Natsuki, "I'm going to document all this for you!" Syo, "Reiji then why are you following?" Reiji, "I have to protect Ai-Ai from you!" Ai, walked over to Reiji and whispered, "I'm a big girl now, I can protect myself, its nothing like back then." Reiji nodded, "Ai-Ai I just worry about you! You're so just so cute I feel Syo-chan will take advantage of you." Ai raised her eyebrow, "Really Reiji?" Reiji nodded his head, she bumped his head, "Thanks for worrying, but I'll be fine. Now please its creepy with you following us everywhere." Reiji, "Fine, but I still say if he hurts you then he's going to wish he hadn't." Ai nodded and waved him goodbye as he walked away. Ai went back over to Syo and kissed his cheek. Natsuki got a picture of that to. Ai and Syo just rolled their eyes and walked to the lounge. Natsuki followed them, Ai turned to him and looked at him with the cutest look she could muster on her face. "Natsuki, don't forget about my hair tie." Natsuki, "Oh no! I forgot! I'll go buy one right now!" Natsuki quickly turned and left the room so he could run to town and get Ai new hair ties. Syo, "Good one Ai." Ai, "I really do want a hair tie." Syo, "Why? I like doing your hair like this." Ai, "Because it's like yours?" Syo, "Exactly, and because you'll actually let me." Ai, "True." Syo kissed her forehead. Syo, "So where do you want our first date to be." Ai looked at him, "you pick." Syo, "Nope, ladies first." Ai, "I don't know." Syo, "I can wait until you decide." Ai had something in mind but she was embarrassed. Syo, "You have something you want to do don't you?" Ai nodded, Syo, "What is it?" Ai looked at him, "Will you teach me to swim?" Syo, "Really?" Ai nodded her head embarrassed. Syo, "I'll teach you anything you want me to teach you." Syo got closer to her and whispered in her ear, "It would be nice to see you in a girls swimsuit though." Ai blushed even more. Syo, "I'll go reserve a swimming pool just for us and make sure nobody can get in. Ai, "Alright." Syo got out his phone and called an indoor pool that was rent only, only the person that had the key could open and close the door. It was mainly used for Idols so it was in their favor. Once Syo finished, "Booked it for tomorrow at 2? Is that okay." Ai nodded her head. Syo, "You're so pretty Ai." Ai leaned on Syo's shoulder, "Thanks Syo." Syo put an arm around Ai and they sat on the couch for a while in silence just enjoying each other's company, with them later falling asleep. Ai being in a protective hold from Syo, tomorrow would be their first public date and neither of them could wait.
Well, thats the end of this chapter, I couldn't think of anything else. Until the next chapter, farewell.
