Dancing with the STARISH

The Probation period.

Today was the day that Ren gets to go on his date with Mai. Beforehand Quartet Night told them that they will be on a one-month probation. While on this probationary period, they will not engage in sexual activities with Mai and only she is allowed to initiate kisses. Personally, Ren thought they made up these rule at last minute to piss them off but after thinking about it, he understood what they were trying to do. The seniors were making sure their intentions were pure and see if the relationship would go anywhere.
"I wish I knew where I'm going with this," he said as he adjusted the collar of his shirt and stood by the car. Is one girl really worth all of these complications?

"Ready to go?" Ren turned his head when he heard her voice and stared at the temptress before him. Mai was wearing a cream colored cocktail dress with thin straps and silver shoes. The dress hugged the curves on her body and her slender neck was exposed because she pinned her hair up.

'Yes...yes she is worth the trouble...' He thought and opened the car door to the passenger side for her. "You look stunning ..." He complimented her as she walked to him and stepped into the car.

"Thank you and you look very handsome yourself," she smiled at him and waited for him to get in the car.

Once Ren was in the car they drove to their first dating spot: A fancy restaurant. It was a very popular Italian restaurant that Ren use to go with his family and he wanted to show her a small part of his childhood even if it was the rich and uppity part of it.

"Wow you really went all out on our first date," Mai said as she sipped her glass of water.

"Well, I wanted to show you a bit of my past... This was actually one of my mother's favorite restaurants." Ren said as they waited for their food to come.

"What's she like?" The dancer asked.

"She was...a beautiful famous singer and a very passionate person," he said as he found interest in the silverware.

'Was?' Her eyes widen when she came to a realization, "Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to bring up unhappy memories."

"It's okay...I just don't talk about my mother that much.." He felt her hand on top of his and he looked over at her.

" I kinda understand...I don't talk about my father a lot, but then again what's there to talk about? I never met him..." She lets out an awkward chuckle, "That's probably why I let myself be surrounded by loving men..."

"Same," Mai looked at her date with a raised eyebrow, "I mean when I surround myself with girls..." He said and she still gave him that same look, "Alright ...Alright and occasionally I'm with other guys," he admitted.

Mai smiled at him, " See it feels good, to be honest with yourself." The two shared a laugh and their food came.

-With Quartet Night-

"Why are we waiting around for them?" Reiji as they sat in his car, which was parked in front of the Italian restaurant.

"Because Ranmaru has his doubts about Ren following the rules," Ai said as he played a puzzle game on his tablet.

"So he decided to drag us on this petty mission," Camus said.

"I didn't really ask you to come along," The Rocker grumbled while looking at the window.

"Oh look they ordered pasta!" Reiji exclaimed,"I wonder if they're going to do the cute noodle thing like they did in that children's movie."

"That would be unlikely because they have two separate plates," Ai explained.

"Aww way to kill a romantic thought," Reiji pouted.

The oldest was taking a small nap when he felt something hit him hard on the shoulder, causing him to bolt up, "Ow! What was that for?!"
