Akashi took you to a restaurant.

It wasn't just any restaurant. It was rented out just for you two. There were empty chairs and tables all around the circular room. Pillars decorated in ribbon with candle holders pluming out of its sides. There was a marble dance floor standing emptily, awaiting for guests to come and whirl around on it... Except it was only you two.

And you and Seijuro were seated. An appetizing plate of fruits, breads, cold cuts, and sushi was seated in between you two. Beautiful table cloth with designs of flowers embroidered around it.
Silverware wrapped in lovely napkin cloth. A candle lit dinner, where shadows were cast upon your faces in such a forebodingly beautiful manner.

Akashi's golden eye shimmers in the dim light. He said nothing. He only smirked.

"Aka-, I mean Seijuro... This is beautiful."

"I knew it would be to your liking," he stated as he raised his wine glass to his lips.

You couldn't help but blush. When you first walked in you couldn't believe that Akashi had paid to have the entire place just to yourself. At first you thought of it as a waste, considering the fact that no other patron would be able to enjoy the restaurant, but then you understood it was because Akashi wanted nothing to ruin his date.

The two of you engaged in simple talk. Akashi wasn't one for small talk. He asked you what your dreams and aspirations were even though he probably already knew them.

"What is your goal in life (y/fn)?"

"To be happy."

Akashi gave a thoughtful pause before responding.

"Are you not happy now?"

You contemplate for a second.

"I'm satisfied."

"Hm, so what if I told you, that I could make you happy?"

You smirked at the handsome young man across from you.

"I guess I'd just have to find out."

He smirked as well and eventually a platter with food was presented to you. The waiter placed the silver platter before you and bowed respectively, never once daring to look you in the striking (y/ec) eyes.

"For the lady, as requested by Akashi-San."

With that he pulled up the lid revealing your (y/ff). It was your favorite main course dish along side some of your favorites as sides. You couldn't help but smile at the food.

"Seijuro how did you know this?"

"An emperor must know his empress' likes and dislikes."

Akashi's platter pulled back to reveal Tofu soup, which you assumed must be his favorite.

With that your dinner began.

Everything was delicious. It was all so perfect. There was never a dull moment. Although Akashi wasn't one for jokes he knew how to make you blush, how to make you giggle, how to make you smile.
