Chapter 11: Our First Date

"I thought I was going to die back there."

Chihiro said that right after she walked past the door of their house. Haku laughed softly upon hearing that from Chihiro.

"If it weren't for Akio, we might still be stuck there with your crazy fan girls." Chihiro fell back to the sofa, looking quite tired.

Haku went into the kitchen and came back with two glasses of mineral water. He handed one to Chihiro, "Here, drink some water."

Chihiro then thought about what happened right after their confession.

Haku's fan girls looked really upset when they saw both Haku and Chihiro hugging each other. They looked as if they were ready to take away the life of Chihiro. But thanks to Akio, Haku and Chihiro were able to escape and arrived safely at home.

Chihiro couldn't help it but laugh when she thought back about how Akio managed to help them. He blocked those crazy fan girls who were all trying to charge towards Chihiro while saying, "You two better run now while I can still block them! Just buy me a cup of coffee next time! Wait, make it two cups! This is hard work!"

"We really should buy Akio two cups of coffee next time." Chihiro said and took a sip of water. "But I think I owe him more than just a cup of coffee."

Haku looked at Chihiro with questioning eyes. Chihiro then blushed before saying, "Well, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have gone to watch the match and wouldn't have the chance to-"

Chihiro was too embarrassed to continue her sentence and hid her face with both of her hands.

Haku smiled gently and pulled both her hands away from her face.

Seeing how red Chihiro's face was, Haku couldn't help it but say, "You look so cute when you're shy."

Chihiro felt her face burn when she heard that. Haku's sweet smile made her feel even more embarrassed.

Not knowing what to do, Chihiro suddenly stood up and said, "I-I'll go take a bath!"

Chihiro could hear Haku's soft laughter as she ran to her room.

After Chihiro was done bathing, she stayed inside her room and observed the necklace Haku gave her. She really liked it and in her opinion, it suited her well.

"Can't believe I really confessed to Haku."

A knock on the door was suddenly heard, surprising Chihiro.

"Chihiro, can I go in?" Haku's voice was heard from the other side of the door.

"Sure!"

Chihiro sat on the chair as she watched the door open. Haku looked more energetic after he bathed and he was wearing a white polo shirt and long black pants.

"Where are you going?" Chihiro asked out of curiosity.

Haku just smiled as he walked towards Chihiro. Chihiro stood up and Haku stopped walking when he was right in front of her. Realizing how close they were, Chihiro blushed deeply.

"I'm here to ask you out on a date, Chihiro."

Chihiro made sure she didn't hear the wrong thing, "W-What?"

"I'm here to ask you out on a date. Do I have the honor to go on a date with you?"

Chihiro's heart suddenly beat much faster than usual and she could actually hear it. She wasn't too sure if it was due to nervousness or happiness but she couldn't talk properly.
