Imperfect Romance: One-shot Series

Late to the Party

"Hurry up!" Miyuki demanded in an irritated tone as he stood by Ai's doorway.

"I'm coming! I'm coming!" Ai huffed as she came down the hallway picking up her purse.

"Why are you taking so long anyways?" He asked as he crossed his arms across his chest.

"What do you mean?!" She let out an incredulous laugh. "I didn't even take as long as I usually do since you kept on pressuring me," Ai explained as she slid on her black combat boots. "Look at me! I've never been this dressed down before in my life!" She exclaimed as she pointed to her off the shoulder emerald green sweater and black leggings.

The catcher scoffed. "We are just going to a ramen shop so you are totally fine like that. Let's go!" Considering he was wearing a red hoodie and sweatpants he certainly didn't care about her outfit.

"Do you like my new headband?" She asked him excited ignoring his outburst as she pointed to the knit black headband around her head.

"No," He deadpanned. "It's stupid because that thing it's not even covering your head. You are going to get sick."

"Whatever," Ai dismissed him as she rolled her eyes. "Let's go!" She exclaimed annoyed as she put on her jacket.

"That's what I have been saying for the longest." Miyuki retorted in the same annoyed tone as he closed the door behind her.

It was needless to say that Miyuki was just not in a good mood tonight. He was feeling annoyed, stressed out, hungry, and Ai wasn't certainly helping his case. Miyuki didn't feel like being on campus and eating with the team so he went to Ai's house instead to have dinner. Neither of them particularly felt like cooking so Miyuki proposed (Ai would say more like decided since he didn't even ask for her opinion) to go eat a ramen shop nearby. As if that wasn't enough Ai insisted that she needed to take a shower and change clothes (Miyuki didn't see the point though) which irritated him even more since she liked to take her sweet time.

"You need to fix your attitude." Ai reprimanded in a teasing tone.

"Shut up." He grumbled as she giggled amused at his reaction.

*Time Skip*

They arrived at the traditional ramen shop around fifteen minutes later and took a seat at a table by the window far away from the bar where middle-aged men were sitting and drinking beer to unwind from the stress and a long day at work.

"What should I get?" Ai asked to no one in particular as she eyed the menu.

"Ramen." Miyuki dryly replied.

"Obviously," She rolled her eyes. "What kind of ramen are you getting?" She asked to see if it was going to help her with her choice.

"Tonkatsu."

"Hmmm I was thinking of getting that one," She said as she looked at the menu again indecisively. "But I was also thinking about Shoyu."

"Are you guys ready to order?" A young brunet waiter asked the couple as he approached their table.

"This is not going to happen again." The catcher began feeling exasperated.

"What do you mean?"

"You always have the same issue whenever we go out to eat and I'm not in the mood to put up with you," He explained. "You are going to get Tonkatsu." He decided.

"But-"

"We are both getting Tonkatsu ramen thanks." Miyuki told the waiter as he cut off Ai.

Ai pouted. "Why did you do that?" She whined.
