Day & Night

The Date Pt. 2

Tsukie's POV

He walked me to his Ferrari 458, opening the door helping me inside. I felt so nervous, and I shouldn't be. We have been friends for years, but we're dating now. Taking a breath, I held the rose close, letting out the air I was holding in. He got in the car, and I could tell that he was ridged too.

"I'm nervous," I said, smiling at myself more than anything.

He let out a breath that he probably held in and smiled at me. "Glad I'm not the only one."

He left out of the driveway heading to the unknown destination. As if it were my nerves or a knee-jerk reaction, I reached over to grab a strand of his hair, twirling it around my fingers. It was something I always did if he was anywhere close to me. He smiled, knowing my habits, and it seemed to help him relax at my touch. We were traveling a good way, and the sun was on the path of setting. Finally, he pulled up at the entrance of Boybugaura Bay which was closed. I looked at him, confused, as he turned the engine off and got out.

He looked over at me smiling, "come on," he said.

"But the park is closed," I said, watching him grab something from the back and his sword. But, you know, just in case.

He gave me an all-knowing look of 'did you forget who I am.' Then, smiling, I got out of his car, watching him circle around to my side, offering his elbow, and I took it. Leading me some way up a hill, there were lights, blankets, and candles coming into view.

"Oh, Kyojuro, you didn't have to do all this," I whispered, covering my mouth.

"I know that. I wanted to, though," he said, sitting down with the pouch and sword.

Unwrapping the pouch, he handed me a bento box. It smelt so good, and when opening it up, I saw the rice in a heart shape design and laughed.

"Oh, Senjuro," I said, my smile reaching across my face.

He really took the time, effort, and help to ensure that this was perfect. I looked up to the ocean and took in its breeze. He knew that this was my favorite place. It brought so many great memories of us growing up, and here we were on our first date. I looked over at him, staring at me, the soft smile on his lips.

"Is it everything you hoped?" He asked, and I shook my head no.

"It's better; it's perfect Kyojuro, the place, the memories, the food, everything, I-"I couldn't finish my sentence; I was just so happy. So simple, yet so intimate.

I started eating the bento box. We were silent, finally eating after a long day for both of us. Plus, Senjuro's cooking was good, if not better than mine.

"You have physical therapy tomorrow, right?" He asked right as I took a bite of food, and I just nodded. "I'll pick you up and take you. I had Shinobu send me your schedule so I can clear mine and take you."

I tried to get my food down quickly, "Kyo, you don't - cough - have to, I don't want to burden you and your work," I said, trying not to choke.

"I already cleared it with father, who thought it was a great idea," he said, and I couldn't help but grin.

"I'm sure he did," I said, causing both of us to smile, knowing our fathers would be thrilled for us to do anything together right now. I'm sure they think we are lying on these blankets taking each other's virginity right at this very moment. As I thought that, my face began to heat up at the image of him between my legs, thrusting deep inside, hot breathe on my neck. I let out a gasp before covering my mouth.

"Are you okay?" He asked, looking at me concerned.

All I could do was nod getting those thoughts out of my head. After the hospital, those lewd thoughts became more and more prevalent in my mind. Calming myself down, I looked over at him, smiling at me with his hands behind his back.

"I hope you save some room for these," he said, revealing my favorite sweet treat.

"Oh, Kyo! White peach mochi," I said, popping one in my mouth licking my lips.

He chuckled, watching me. Kyojuro stood up, offering his hand to me, and I was confused but took it anyway. Pulling me close to him, I felt my heartbeat pick up, but when I placed my ear on his chest, I could hear that his heart was just as fast. One of his arms wrapped around my back as he cupped my cheek, rubbing his thumb over my skin. I wrapped my own arms around his waist feeling so relaxed caged in his embrace. Kyojuro started to sway with me in his arms as if we were dancing to music. I couldn't help but smile, enjoying this moment.

We didn't need to talk but instead enjoyed this moment together. After some time, he looked down at me as if he would kiss me but instead smiled. He was so relaxed. The only time I got to see him like this was when we were on our family vacations or having a day off. Both were rare, and I didn't want this to end.

"I have to get you home," he whispered, and I pouted, actually pouted, again, which caused him to chuckle.

We gathered what we needed to, headed back to his car, and drove back to my home. Before leaving, Kyojuro leaned down and kissed my forehead before he bid me Goodnight. I watched as he got in his car and drove away. Walking into my house, I held the rose close to my chest, smiling like an idiot. I texted Mitsuri telling her all about the date, which caused my phone's notification to go off like crazy.

Mitsuri: OH MY GODS!!!! How romantic. I didn't think Rengoku had a romantic bone in his body.

Mitsuri: Maybe it's because it's you, and he always has a soft side for you.

Mitsuri: DID HE KISS YOU? Details Tsukie!

I laughed at the text and informed her that he only kissed my forehead.

Mitsuri: I bet money he wanted to kiss you, but Tengen still owes me 3,000 yen.

Me: Mitsuri...

Mitsuri: Oh no, you can't get mad at your best friend. You know Rengoku contacted him.

Me: You two just focus on your mission and call for backup if you need it. Goodnight, you brats.

Mitsuri: Leave it to you to know where we were. Goodnight girl!

I rolled my eyes, laughing and getting ready for bed. Once slipping into my soft bed, my phone dings again to see his name, and my heart fluttered.

Kyo: I made it home. I had a great night. Hope you did too. I'll pick you up tomorrow for PT, Goodnight darling.

Me: Tonight was perfect baby, I loved everything about it. See you tomorrow, Goodnight.

Can this really work out between us? I mean, we were so nervous, but when we cleared the air on it all, we were okay. Mitsuri was right. Kyojuro always had a soft spot when it came to me, but that was due to our friendship. Now that we were dating would going on a mission be harder? All these questions were bothering me, but I was sure that he felt the same way. Right?

Trying to calm myself down, I knew that these would be conversations for tomorrow. Finally, I fell asleep having pleasant dreams about the night and about him.
