Hashira's happiness

Shinobu's date

(Before you start reading. Please leave a comment giving me ideas...I'm brain dead and I need a way for Giyomei and Uzui to remember the past.)

Today after school is my date with Tomioka. I'm really excited. I got up a little earlier than usual.

Kanae says, "you look extra happy today." I ignore her as I know that if I say anything she'll find out about my crush.

Instead I say, "oh I will come home late today." Kanao asks why and I say, "I'm busy with the school council."

Aoi says, "yeah sure... I heard you're going on a date with Tomioka." I can feel myself go bright red as she says that and it must be true because Kanae looks at me and says, "omg Aoi is right."

I try to calm down. "How did you know?" Aoi smirks and says, "nothing gets past me and Kanao. Isn't that right Kanao?" Kanao giggles and nods. "we know a lot of things... Like how Sanemi bought flowers for Kanae."

I see Kanae go red too. Our little sisters are evil.

I see Kiyo, Naho and Sumi giggling too.. I have a feeling they're in this scheme.

Sumi says, "you can't keep anything hidden from your little sisters.." Kiyo agrees and Naho says, "other people have little brothers and sisters too, so they find out information and tell us!"

Kanae and I sigh. Kanae says, "you better not be telling them secrets about us."

I head to school after scolding all 5 of them. They didn't learn their lesson.

I head to class and see Tamayo and she smirks at me... she probably knows something too. I sigh as I wave at her.

At break, I tell Tamayo about my date.. Mitsuri and Iguro come to tell me something.

Later on, I made invites with the help of Tamayo.

I tell her to give it to the students in the  school council and I'll give it to the teachers.

I head to the staff room and see Uzui, Rengoku and Sanemi.

"Hello everyone!" I say cheerfully. Sanemi says, "if it isn't ms president.." Uzui sighs and says, "a troublemaker is here." Rengoku laughs and welcomes me in.

"Are we starting a new thing by calling me ms president?" Sanemi nods and says, "has a nice ring to it."

I then tell them about the party and give them the invites. I also tell them to inform Giyomei.

I was then informed that I have to ask Aoi to help with food. I spent a long time finding her. I couldn't even find Kanao. I see Muichiro and beg him for help.

"Have you seen Aoi? I can't find her anywhere." I ask him. He looks at me blankly. He tries to remember if he's seen her. "oh she's in the library. She's helping Inosuke spell." I thanked him for his help and headed to the library.

I felt bad for Inosuke. Aoi is probably shouting at him.

When I entered the library, I saw them both sitting together.

"Aoi. I need help." I said to her, She turns to me and asks what's wrong. I tell her about the party and she agrees to help. "I'll only help because you're my sister and you asked.. I'll ask my parents if they can give me anything." I thank Aoi and hug her. She hugs me back but seems embarrassed. Before I leave I say, "Inosuke try not to anger Aoi too much."

It was finally the end of the day. I was waiting for it for so long. I didn't see Tomioka at all. I waited for him near the school entrance. When he came, he apologised for taking too long.

"So... where are we going?" I ask as I follow him. Tomioka says, "a new place that opened up. Apparently it has the best drinks. Sabito went with Makomo."

I smiled at him, not because I was happy with the place he chose but because his friends were alive and he was happy.

When we got there, we ordered our drinks and sat down.

" I was told there is a party tomorrow. "He says randomly. I nod and say," Iguro and Mitsuri are organising it. Make sure you attend." He says he will and I'll make sure of it.

" Hey Tomioka. " I say. He looks at me. I never realised it but he's quite pretty. I often hear people teasing him saying, 'pretty boy'. Some of the girls in my class are in love with him too... unlike before he's popular now.

"Why did you invite me?" I ask him. He looks at me oddly. "What do you mean why?" He acts confused. I smiled at him, I was sad but I didn't show it, "well...You have plenty of options on who to invite... if you asked any girl they would have accepted for sure."

He stares at me. His eyes are dull but that's what makes him attractive. I turn red as I feel his stare on me.

"why would I invite someone else..?" Tomioka says.  I stutter, "W-what.. I'm saying is... why did you invite me?"

Tomioka points to a sign, "you see that sign... that's the reason I invited you." I look to where he is pointing and see the sign. It said, "couples drink for 10% off till the end of the month."

I turn to him, he's really red and so am I. "Tomioka... what's that supposed to mean?" He ignores me and I call him again. "Tomioka!"

The drinks came and he took them and drank them. He still ignores me. I sigh and drink mine.

"Is it nice?" he asks. I nod as I drink it happily... "Want to try it?" I say embarrassingly.

He leans over and sips my drink, not taking his eyes off me. He then gives me his. I blush as I drink his one.

I mumble, "that's an indirect kiss..." He smiles at me.. It melts my heart. "I know.."
