Chapter 68 Prom
Tsukasa's POV
The day of the prom had arrived, and Natsu, Toya and I were waiting in the living room for Ichika, Saki and Kohane to get ready.
While Toya had invited his entire group to join us at the prom, An and Akito declined, which was understandable since the former was highly pregnant. However, they convinced Kohane to still go.
"Oh boys", I heard Saki suddenly call out. "We're all done! Get ready for our big reveal!"
With that, Ichika, Saki and Kohane all walked into living room. The sight of seeing our beloveds dressed in formal wear took me and Toya's breath away.
"Ichika", I breathed out, before walking up to her. "You look absolutely radiant, my love!"
"Th…thank you, Tsukasa", Ichika said as her cheeks started turning red.
"How do I look, Toya-Kun", Saki asked. "The baby bump doesn't make me look weird, does it?"
"Not at all", Toya reassured, before grabbing onto Saki's hands. "You look absolutely beautiful, Saki."
With these words, Saki giggled as her cheeks started turning red.
"Thank you so much, Toya-Kun", she said.
"You look very lovey, Azasawa-San", Natsu said as he walked up to her.
"Th…thank you very much, Natsu-San", Kohane said as her cheeks turned pink in embarrassment. "And thank you for offering to go to the dance with me."
"Of course", Natsu said. "Both Toya and Tsukasa have dates to the prom, so it didn't seem fair for you to not have one as well."
"Oh", I said, suddenly remembering something. "I forgot about the corsages!"
With that, I quickly rushed to the counter and grabbed three boxes with corsages in them. I then rushed back to Toya and Natsu and gave them each one.
"Here you go, my lady", I said before holding out the box to Ichika. "Allow me to put it on you."
With that, I put the corsage onto Ichika, and Toya and Natsu did the same for their dates.
"Um…everyone", Kohane started. "Would it be okay if I take some pictures of before we go?"
"Of course, Kohane-Chan", Saki replied. "After all, we've gotta make sure to capture all the wonderful memories we're gonna make tonight!"
With that, Kohane took some photos of us, and she finished just as I got a text message from our lift.
"It's from Emu", I revealed. "Her and Nene are waiting downstairs."
"Then what are we waiting for", Saki asked excitedly. "The prom is waiting for us, so let's go!"
…
We arrived at the road outside of our apartment building. When we did, we spotted Emu and Nene…who were standing in front of an interesting vehicle.
"Ta da", Emu exclaimed while gesturing to it.
"Is that…", Ichika started.
"…a limo", Saki finished.
"Of course", I replied. "It is tradition to arrive to prom in a limo! So, I asked Emu if she could ask her family to arrange one for us!"
"Just be thankful that he didn't suggest that we arrive in a horse drawn carriage or something like that", Nene added.
After she did, Saki suddenly tackled me into a hug!
"You're the best, Onii-Chan", she stated. "Thank you so much!"
"You're welcome", I replied. "Now, what are we waiting for? The prom awaits us!"
…
We had arrived at the prom, and Saki's eyes lit up in awe.
"I can't believe it", she said. "It looks just like the proms in the movies! This is a dream come true!"
After Saki said this, she suddenly sighed sadly.
"What's wrong, Saki", Ichika asked in concern.
"It's nothing", Saki stated. "It's just…I wish Hona-Chan and Shiho-Chan were here too! I would've loved to experience this with them as well!"
"Well then", I started. "In that case, you're just going to have to visit again next year!"
Saying this returned the smile to Saki's face.
"You're right, Onji-Chan", she stated. "Okay then! I promise that I'll come back again next year with Hona-Chan and Shiho-Chan!"
"Excellent", I said. "But for now, let us focus on the prom we are currently at."
"Right", Toya said. "But, what do you do at a prom anyway?"
"Tons of things", Saki replied. "But the main one is dancing!"
"Correct, my dearest sister", I said.
Then, I stepped in front of Ichika…and held out my hand to her.
"My lady", I started. "May you do me the honor of a dance?"
"D…dance", Ichika asked nervously. "In front of all of these people?"
"Come on, Ichi-Chan", Saki started. "Just do it like you did at Onii-Chan's birthday ball!"
"That was over two years ago", Ichika pointed out. "I don't know if I'm still good at it."
After Ichika said this…I grabbed onto her hand.
"You'll be fine, my love", I reassured her. "Just follow my lead."
With that, I led Ichika to the dance floor…and we began dancing together.
She was nervous at first, but she soon became more relaxed.
Before long, everybody joined in on the dancing, and we enjoyed the evening together.
