A week passes by and you have the day off.  You and Ichigo are at home; Ichigo is working on learning Japanese on the Duolingo app on your tablet while you're reading a book on the couch, occasionally correcting Ichigo when he mispronounces a word.  Your phone suddenly rings and you pick it up off of the coffee table.  "Hello?"

"Hello, (F/N)-chan.  It's Toshinori."

A big smile appears on your face, "Hey, Toshi-kun!  How have you been?"

"I've been well, thank you for asking.  How about you and young Ichigo?"

"We've been doing great.  Ichigo's father stopped by for a visit a few days ago so he's still wound up about that.  Although, I think that making him study Japanese may have drained some of that excess energy from him."

You hear Toshinori chuckle, "What are you doing today at noon?"

You tilt your head to the side slightly, "Nothing really.  I have the day off so I was planning on making lunch for Ichigo and myself.  Why?  Would you like to join us?"

You hear Toshinori clear his throat, "A-actually, I was hoping that y-you and Ichigo would j-join me for l-lunch at this nice little r-restaurant that I know?" 

You can't help but giggle at how nervous he sounds.  "We would love to Toshinori."  You then pull the phone away and ask your son in English, "Li'l Strawberry, would you like to have lunch with Toshinori-san?"

"Arcanine-san?"   You nod your head and Ichigo jumps to his feet.   "Yay!"

You laugh, "That's definitely a yes, Toshi-kun."

"G-great!  I'll be by to pick you two up a little before noon.  Is that okay with you?"

"Of course.  We'll see you in a few hours."

Three and a half hours later, you and Ichigo are ready for your lunch date with Toshinori.  Since it's January and it's cold outside, Ichigo is wearing jeans and his favorite All Might long sleeve shirt; that has a picture of All Might flexing his biceps with 'Plus Ultra!' below the image.   You're not entirely sure if this is a date or not so you decide to dress nice, yet casual; wearing a pair of black slacks, a long sleeve, v-cut red shirt with black lace rose designs near the neckline, and black combat boots. 

Toshinori arrives at your apartment at 11:40 a.m.   As soon as you open the door and Toshinori steps inside, Ichigo runs up to him and wraps his arms around Toshinori's legs.  "Arcanine-san!"

Toshinori chuckles and hugs the little boy back.  "Hello, young Ichigo."  He then looks over at you and nervously swallows, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down.  "Hello, (N/N).  You look very p-pretty today."  He suddenly panics, "N-not that you don't always look p-pretty.  As a matter of fact, I t-think that you always look b-beautiful....Oh, I just keep digging myself deeper and deeper.  And now I'm rambling...I'm so sorry."  He blushes and rubs the back of his neck; a nervous habit that he's had since he was a child.

You chuckle, "It's okay, Toshi-kun.  I think you look very handsome."   And you mean it; he's wearing a pair of tan slacks and a black button-up dress shirt with a navy blue trench coat.  His hair seems to be tamer than the last time you met, as if he's made an attempt at brushing it.  You smile at him, "I've always thought that you are a very handsome man...both inside and out."

Toshinori's blush intensifies, "Thank you."  Ichigo is looking back and forth between you and Toshinori when suddenly his little tummy lets out a growl.  This turns both of your attention to him and Toshinori chuckles.  "I guess that's our cue to get going.  We have to take a train to get to the restaurant, is that okay?"
