"Ready?"


After straightening his slate blue blazer one last time, Copter managed to give Kimmon a nervous nod.  Even though he felt anything but ready, he knew that he couldn't waste any more of their time here in the parking lot, forever stewing in his own juices.          


A bright smile dancing on his lips, Kimmon promptly extended his hand out towards the junior.  "Then shall we go?"  


Huh?  Confusion marked on his features, Copter blankly stared at Kimmon's hand before glancing back up to meet Kimmon's expectant eyes.  He blinked several times in silence, clearly having no idea how to interpret the senior's action.  Kimmon ended up letting out a chuckle. 


"Will you please hold my hand?" Kimmon asked politely.


Copter's jaw dropped.  "What?!  Why?!"    


"Remember?  We're taking a different approach today," Kimmon explained, still smiling.  "Instead of having you march in during the middle of the date, I'm bringing you in from the very start."       


"Right."


"And that's because I want to show everyone how proud and happy I am to be in love with you."


The f*ck?!  Out of context, Kimmon's statement just now was highly prone to misunderstandings that were dangerously messing with his stupid heart.  Feeling heat rise up in his cheeks, Copter cleared his throat.  


"Uhh, so basically you want us to act the part starting now," Copter tried to clarify, his mind furiously churning to make sense of the situation.  "Yeah, I guess that's smart because we might run into your date on our way to the restaurant.  Or wait, she might even be here now!"


At that thought, Copter immediately darted his eyes around them in an attempt to catch any woman who looked like she was on her way to an arranged date.  A sense of relief washed over him when he discovered that there was no one else near them right now.  Kimmon's lighthearted chuckle brought his attention back to the senior.    


"No." 


"No?" 


Kimmon's face turned serious.  "No.  I actually just wanted to hold your hand."   


"What?!" Copter squeaked.


Wearing an unreadable expression, Kimmon just wordlessly fixed his deep gaze on Copter.  After taking a moment to recover his senses, Copter shot a glare at the senior.  Damn him and his flirty teasing!  Even though it technically wasn't Kimmon's fault, Copter couldn't help but feel a little exasperated, given the utterly disastrous effect that the senior's sweet words had on him.


"Now's really not the time to joke," Copter grumbled while trying his best to calm his jittery heart.
