A Painters Fate- Otome Inspired Story

It was all a set up?!

When we finally returned to the bar it was around 10:00.

After leaving the train, we didn't talk the whole way back.

I still don't know if it was because he was mad at me, or if I was mad at him.

*ding ding ding*

Everyone: "ahh! The queen and king are back!"

What...

Even Amina is here too!

Nekko: "Amina! What about your grandma!"

Amina: "Oh, about that..."

She explained the whole story to me and I was astonished.

Nekko: "IT WAS ALL A SET UP?!"

Apparently Susumu knew that Ryo and I didn't mix well, so he asked Amina to play along and agree before cancelling our get together.

He thought it would be a way for us to unravel a bit and enjoy ourselves as friends and not enemies for once.

But how did Susumu know that we both loved art and paintings?

Then the man himself showed up in the room.

Susumu: "Welcome back you two! Did you have a great time?"
（＾∇＾）

Nekko: "Yes thank you. Miki Takashi's paintings were as beautiful as always."

Ryo, who remained silent until now spoke up as well.

Ryo: "How could you do this!? Thanks to you I had to spend close to 8 hours with this maid, un disturbed!"

*pout pout*

Susumu: "But you had fun did you not?"

Ryo: "Yes..."

Everyone: "WOAH!!!"

Ryo had fun? He actually had fun? With me?

It probably wasn't me it was the paintings! But still, I can't believe this!

Ryo was blushing all the way up too his ears, and tried to cover it with his hands.

You know, he can be kind of cute when he wants to be...

Wait! What am I thinking?!
