Chapter 22

A.N: hi :>, we're going to pretend like i didn't leave for a month. Moving on to the actual story y'all are here for. Alexa play "I like it" by stray kids (PLS LISTEN TO "ATE" IT'S LITTR SO GOOD)

--------------------------------------------------------------

After dinner, they strolled hand in hand through the city, pure admiration and enthusiasm burning their soul. Neither of them wanted the night to end, but the thought that their future's secured with many more dates for the two, put their minds at ease.

They stopped at an ice-cream parlour as a last stop before making it home. Kenji, insisted that he should get to pay for the ice cream, as Nazeera had taken away his right to ask her out.

"It's not my fault you're incredibly slow." She had said, rolling her eyes, but let Kenji pay for it regardless.

They both sat down on a bench nearby in comfortable silence, munching down on their sweet treat.

"How do you think Warnette will react to this." Nazeera started, holding up their interwined hands to show what she was referring to.

"Oh my god, don't even get me started. Juliette is going to actually chain me to a chair until i give her every tiny bit of what happened." Kenji let out a groan, his face scrunching up in agitation as he thinks about what he'd have in store when they got home.

"Pfft- maybe I'll sit with her, just to see you suffer."

"You, are a cruel, cruel girlfriend." Kenji said, and as soon as the word 'girlfriend' left his mouth, it was like that feeling of warmth and admiration washed over him all over again.

"Uh huh, it'd be pretty fun to watch, considering you are my boyfriend."

The words hadn't settle in yet, but not in a bad way. It was the type of excitement you'd get when trying something new for the first time. Nervousness and excitement pooled into a mixture that no one could identify.

But, it followed with another type of feeling, one that was comfortable and soothing. Like walking into school and finally seeing your best friends, or finding out that your favourite food that stopped selling, finally restocked.

They sat there for a while, eating and talking away into oblivion. Time was an illusion in their little bubble, it had stopped and the concept of it was unfamiliar.

"So, shall we get home?" Nazeera asked, as they finally threw away the remaining tissues that they were given with their ice-cream.

"Let's go then." Kenji responded, taking her hand, and pulling her into one short kiss before they left, possibly to face the reckoning force known as Juliette.

They walked to the house, excitement of telling their friends, anxious of how they'd react.

When they finally opened the door into the house, they were met with silence, which was unheard of under their roof.

Confused, they made their way further inside the house, only for Juliette to come strutting down the stairs.

"Well, well, look what we have here." She started, a mischievous smile stretching across her face. Aaron followed shortly after, rubbing his temples in true Aaron fashion. He looked at them, only for him to smile.

It was a given though, considering how Aaron could, quite literally,read emotions. He gave a silent smile to the two before going to sit on the couch, to see how this scene would unfold.

Juliette eyes scanned over their faces and then finally landed on their interwined hands. Her eyes blew wide open, as though threatening to come out of their sockets.

"No way!" She screamed, clapping a hand over her mouth before haphazardly pointing at the two.

"Don't tell me- Are you two?? finally??" She close to screamed, and Nazeera laughed from her place beside Kenji, shaking her head.

"Oh my god, Nazeera I'm so proud of youu for taking the step. Although, it's a  very stupid decision to date this idiot here." Juliette hugged both Keni and Nazeera before pointing to Kenji as she spoke the final lines.

"Wait- how did you know Nazeera was the one who asked?!" Kenji asked, the reels in his head turning.

"Well, you're too much of a coward. I'm still surprised you had the guts to ask her out." Juliette replied nonchalantly.

"Hey! That is extremely rude." Kenji said, crossing his arms across his chest.

"I did not ask for your opinion." Juliette started, before continuing. "Okay , moving on. I need details, and I mean all of them, from start to finish, don't you dare leave out anything."

Kenji groaned, having seen this coming from a mile away.

Needless to say, the next few hours were spent taking Juliette and Aaron through a step by step of their date.

Exhausted after their date, and from Juliette's never ending questions, the couple finally made in upstairs, and this time, there were no questions, no awkwardness.

There was unspoken decision that they'd both sleep in Kenjis room. Deja vu, washing over them as they stepped inside. The two stood their staring at each other for a minute or two, getting used to the close vicinity and less physical boundries.

Kenji thought that he'd never get used to the feeling of Nazeeras lips on his, even now as they shared a loving kiss in the middle of his room, not having a care about the world. Kenji couldn't help but feel like his heart would jump out of his chest.

The next morning, the two would wake up in the exact way that they'd fallen asleep together almost a month ago. And unlike last time, they won't run, they won't apologise, they'd stay tucked in each others embrace with nothing in the world that could pop their little bubble.
