"Mouse!" Connor shouted from the other side of the door

he knocked lightly making sure that Mousr woke up slowly so that she wasn't going to be cranky. He openned the door slightly and peaked in

"I'm ordering food, what would you like?" Connor asked her

Mouse rolled over to the edge off the bed and sat up slowly. She rubbed her eyes and yawned before getting her bearings

"Could I just get some sushi?" Mouse yawned

It took a second to process what was happening in Connor's mind, he stared at Mouse for a few seconds

Mouse's hair was all messy and her oversized shirt exposed a single shoulder. It was like a fan service scene right in front of him

"sushi? cmon we're in japan, sushi is everywhere" Connor whined

"and so? you asked what I want" She pouted and crossed her arms

"Whatever you say, mistress" Connor mutters closing the door behind him

He headed over to the kitchen and began to bre himself a cup of coffee. It was usually the drink that started up his day

Mouse walked around the corner and openned the fridge, she pulled out a juice carton and poured herself a cup

"Finally out of bed, I see?" Connor smirked and took a sip

"Haha, very funny." Mouse said in a serious and tired tone

Connor walked passed Mouse into the living room, there he plopped down and turned the tv on to some Japanese news.

"When's the food arriving?" Mouse said suddenly

Connor jolted slightly out of his seat and took a large breath before answering

"Soon Mouse, Soon." He sighed and continued watching the news

A sudden ring came from the door, the two looked at eachother for a moment before Mouse stood up.

"I'll get it!" She exclaimed and attempted to run off

Connor grabbed her and pulled her back, "I'm getting it, not you" He laughed

He pulled her close and picked her up, dropping her in the couch. Connor leaned forwards until he was topping Mouse

"Now stay here like a good girl" Connor smiled and walked off

Mouse's face was a deep red, she was pinned against the couch by Connor and he didn't seem to think anything of it. She covered her face and layed there for a couple seconds

"Idiot..." She murmured

"What was that?" Connor came back to the living room with a bag in his hands

He openned it up and pulled out two plastic cartons, they were both filled with 8 pieces of california sushi, some rice and some teriyaki chicken

"Thought you were complaining about sushi" Mouse grinned

"I didn't wanna order two different things" Connor sighed, beginning to eat

Mouse chowed down on her food slowly, the sushi tasted fresh and completely amazing. It was unlike any other sushi she had before.

"Want me to feed you?" Connor suddenly said in a jokingly tone

Mouse almost chocked on the piece of sushi that she was chewing on.

"Asshole..." She coughed "If you're offering tho.." She continued

Connor aligned his chopsticks by tapping them against the plastic, he then picked up a roll and extended it out to Mouse

She jumped back in surprise, "I- I thought you were joking??" Mouse's face was a slight tint of red

He scooted forwards, getting closer to Mouse. It was safer since he wouldn't need to be afraid of dropping it

"I mean, i'm not against it, not like it matters" Connor explained

Mouse leaned forwards and closed her Mouth on the sushi, backing away and chewing it slowly. She looked at Connor, then to his chopsticks

"Oh god.." She thought, she started to turn even redder

"I ate from his chopsticks- Indirect... Indirect kiss... " Mouse said to herself

Connor saw Mouse turning red, he placed his hand on her forehead suddenly.

"w-what??" She stuttered

"you okay? you're burning up" Connor spoke, leaning backwards

"I'm okay, just a little warm" Mouse replied to him

After Connor was done eating, he walked to his room to get changed for the day. The door shut before a word could leave Mouse's mouth

Mouse stood up and kicked open Connors door.

"How dare you leaving without saying anything! you should atlea-" She paused and looked at Connor

He stared back at her, he was only wearing jeans. His whole upper body was exposed as he held a shirt in his hands

Mouse slammed the door and started to scream.

"PERVERT" She shouted

"Im litterally changing, you're the one who walked in!" Connor screamed back

Mouse sat down and leaned her back against the door, she held her head in her hands. She still wasn't used to seeing Connor without a shirt.

"I'm so stupid" She mumbled to herself

The door suddenly openned and Mouse fell backwards. She was laying down at Connor feet, looking straight up at him

"Whatcha doing down there?" Connor smiled and knelt down

Mouse got up turned away from Connor, her ears were redder than a strawberry

"Nothing... I'm sorry for walking in" She said, turning to face Connor

He stood up and gave a warm smile, he placed his hand atop her head. He walked passed her slightly into the hallway and said something that caught Mouse's ear

"That's why I love you" Connor slipped on his words

He stood there for a second before attempting to walk forwards, he was stopped by Mouse who was holding onto the back of his shirt

She was standing up right behind him, her face was looking towards the ground. The two stood in the hallway for a few seconds before Mouse spoke

"Say it again.." She whispered loudly

Connor gulped and looked towards Mouse "That's why I love you" he mustered up the courage to speak

Mouse looked at him with tears in her eyes, she jumped forwards and wrapped her arms around his waist tightly

"You like me?" Mouse sniffled

"Of course I like you, I've liked you a while" Connor smiled and rubbed Mouse's back

She finally caught her breath and took a step back, she looked to the sides, then back to Connor

"I like you, too" Mouse confessed, she closed her eyes tight

She felt a pair of hands on either one of her shoulders, she slowly openned her eyes to see Connor with a smile that stretched from ear to ear

"That's great, would you like to go out with me?" Connor asked her

"Id love to" Mouse said with a smile and tears in her eyes
