The Strange Gamer

Chapter 25

"Green light!" Tamaki yelled.

All the hosts, besides Kyoya, scooted forward.

"Red light!" He snapped his head back and the hosts froze. Gema was grinning from ear to ear at this.

It kept going like this until Gema felt a presence next to him. He took a quick glance up to see Kyoya standing there after not moving at all. He grinned up at Kyoya.

"Pleasure to have you join us." He said, voice low in order to not gain Tamaki's attention who was yelling that he saw the twins moving.

"But of course," Kyoya replied.

Tamaki stopped yelling at the twins to go explain what the hell they were doing to the newspaper club. At that, Gema quickly went to Mori, dragging Kyoya behind.

"So you two, what are you two doing this Saturday?" Gema asked as soon as they were close enough.

Kyoya pushed up his glasses before answering. "Nothing I suppose."

Honey popped up from behind Mori. "Takashi's free too! Why?"
Gema slowly started turning red. "Well...um... you see... there's this new cafe near my apartment and I was wondering if you two wanted to join me?"

The two in question glanced at each other. Honey answered for the both of them before they could give their own answer.

"Of course Gem-chan! They'll go on the date!" He exclaimed.

That was not the right wording as that caused Gema to go a bright red. "Date?! No no no! I mean, unless they want it to be a date! I was thinking as friends or just like a hangout!"

"A date's fine," Kyoya said, pulling out his notebook and started jotting things down.

"Yeah, that's fine," Mori added as he held Honey.

"Oh. Good then. Um... Saturday then. Yeah." Gema turned to run away but was stopped.

"At what time?" Kyoya asked.

"Right. Time. Let's see... 10?" Gema said but it seemed more like a question.

Kyoya flashed a small smile. "That works fine. Works for you too Mori?"

Mori nodded his head and also flashed a small smile. Gema went an even brighter red if that was possible.

"Great! Oh, look at that! The Newspaper club wants to talk! Gotta go! Bye!" He rushed out before running away.

"I wonder what was a matter with Gem-chan? He seemed nervous." Honey said, voice full of concern.

"Don't worry about it Mitsukuni," Mori replied as he watched Gema race away, smiling and growing slightly larger.

He glanced down at Kyoya to see him still staring at Gema. Kyoya seemed to sense his gaze because he looked up the next second. Kyoya understood what Mori was trying to say because the next moment, he just patted his head.

"They took the first step. It's all falling into place now." He said. "Let's go before Tamaki chooses a game non of us are going to enjoy."

Mori followed behind. The next thing they knew, they were standing in a line with Tamaki pointing at the lot of them.

"Next we're playing Kick The Can! You're it, okay Kyoya?" Tamaki asked.

"If I must," Kyoya said.

"Starlight kick!" Tamaki yelled as he kicked the can.

It went flying past the Newspaper Club who yelled in fear. The others began running around as the can bounced off the trees. It ended up hitting the Komatsuzawa in the head again. Kyoya collected the can and squatted down to begin counting. Meanwhile, Mori and Honey hid in one of the trees.
