Dinner Date

Yuki's POV:

Yuki had been lost in thought for most of the day, her mind wandering back to Kenma. She couldn't shake the memory of their night together, the way his touch had ignited something within her. Despite her efforts to focus on her classes and projects, Kenma remained a constant distraction.

As she walked back to her dorm, she noticed a familiar car parked outside. Her heart skipped a beat when she realized it was Kenma's car. He was leaning against it, his expression calm yet determined.

"Kenma? What are you doing here?" Yuki asked, her surprise evident in her voice.

He straightened up and smiled slightly. "I'm picking you up. We're going on a date."

Yuki's eyes widened in shock. "A date? Now?"

Kenma nodded. "Yes. I know it's sudden, but I want to spend time with you. Is that okay?"

Yuki hesitated for a moment, her mind racing. But the thought of spending more time with Kenma, of getting to know him better, was too tempting to resist. She nodded slowly. "Okay. Yes, I'd like that."

Kenma's smile widened, and he opened the car door for her. She got in, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness. As they drove through the city, Yuki couldn't help but wonder where he was taking her. When they finally arrived, her jaw dropped in amazement.

The restaurant was one of the fanciest in town, a place she had only ever dreamed of going. The exterior was grand and elegant, with sparkling lights and a beautifully manicured garden. Kenma parked the car and turned to her, his eyes softening as he saw her reaction.

"I wanted to take you somewhere special," he said quietly. "You deserve it."

Yuki blushed, feeling a warmth spread through her chest. "Thank you, Kenma. This is...amazing."

They entered the restaurant, and Yuki felt like she had stepped into a different world. The interior was luxurious, with plush seating, chandeliers, and an air of sophistication. They were led to a private table near a large window that overlooked the city.

As they sat down, Yuki couldn't help but feel a bit out of place. She glanced at Kenma, who seemed perfectly at ease. He reached across the table and took her hand, his touch reassuring.

"I wanted to do something special for you," he said, his voice sincere. "I hope you don't mind."

Yuki shook her head, a smile spreading across her face. "No, I don't mind at all. This is...incredible. Thank you."

They spent the evening talking and laughing, the conversation flowing easily between them. Yuki learned more about Kenma, about his passions and dreams, and she found herself drawn to him even more. Despite his reserved demeanor, there was a depth to him that fascinated her.

As the night went on, Yuki realized that she was falling for him. She had been hesitant at first, unsure of what to make of their connection, but now she knew that she wanted to explore it further.

When the evening finally came to an end, Kenma drove her back to her dorm. They stood outside her building, the night air cool and refreshing.

"Thank you for tonight, Kenma," Yuki said softly. "I had a wonderful time."

Kenma smiled, his eyes warm. "So did I. I hope we can do this again."

Yuki nodded, feeling a flutter of excitement. "I'd like that."

They stood there for a moment, neither wanting the night to end. Finally, Kenma leaned in and kissed her, a gentle and tender kiss that left her breathless.

"Goodnight, Yuki," he whispered, his lips brushing against her ear.

"Goodnight, Kenma," she replied, her heart racing.

As she watched him drive away, Yuki couldn't help but smile. She had a feeling that this was just the beginning of something special.
