I Met You Again // giyushino

Chapter 10: Date

SHINOBU

A loud beep woke me from my peaceful slumber. I turned to my side table and switched my alarm off. I wanted to sleep more, but I would be late for my lecture. I sighed deeply before getting up and heading to the bathroom for a shower. My thoughts wandered back to meeting Giichi yesterday. I smiled as I let the lukewarm water gush down my body. I stepped out and blow dried my hair before exiting the bathroom then beelined to my bedroom. I swiftly dressed myself in a lavender shirt that I tucked into some loose denim mom jeans. I grabbed my tumbler from the cupboard and made some coffee to drink on the way to university. I grabbed my things and wore my white Nike Air Max. To top things off, I wore my classic brown coat that reached below my knees. Before I went out I sprayed some of my favorite wisteria scented perfume. I calmly went down the stairs of my dorm and exited the building "Ah, Shinobu!" I suddenly heard Giichi's voice call. My eyes widened as I saw him waiting on his bike with his uniform on and topped off with a black bomber jacket. I blinked at him "What are you doing here this early, Giichi-kun?" I asked before approaching him "I'll be your service for today! Hop on! I also bought your favorite pastry!" He said as he raised a paper bag with the logo of the Kamado Bakery imprinted. I felt giddy at his actions. I smiled and hopped on the back of his bike.

"How long have you been here?" I asked as we pedaled off "Hmmm. I don't know what time your classes are so I got here around... 6:00." He replied before turning a corner. I checked my watch as my eyes widened "You waited for me out in the cold for an hour and a half?!" I exclaimed as I held onto him for support. He hummed and nodded in reply "My lectures start at 9." I said shyly "I'll keep that in mind." He stated "You might want to hold on. Its about to get bumpy." He chuckled. I circles my arms around his waist and laid my head on his back. I inhaled the familiar lavender scent he had. I missed it so much "Ara! Doesn't this feel quite nostalgic, Giichi- kun?" I asked as I recalled our date before. He snickered "It does. How could I forget that day." He said before sitting straight and taking the wind in his face. I hummed in satisfaction at the cool breeze. We neared my school as I pulled my head away from Giichi's back. We stopped at the entrance gate as I got off "Woah..." Giichi said as he stared at the big university in front of him in awe. I chuckled at his cute reaction to which he smiled "Thanks for picking me up, Giichi- kun!" I bowed "No no. Its nothing and just Giichi is alright, Shinobu." He said as he put his hand on my head and patted it "Well then, Giichi. You should get going or you'll be late for-" "Shinobu- chan! I brought you some flowers- You again?!" Douma said before pointing at Giichi. He got off his bike and parked it before stepping in front of me to protect me "What do you need?" He asked coldly. People around us stared at the scene that was happening.

"Oh my. Who's this high schooler?"
"He's good looking though!"
"Its that creepy guys again. That high schooler is protecting Kochou- san."
"He does kendo too!"

I heard some of the people whisper because Giichi's hand was on the grip of his shinai "I just wanted to greet Shinobu- chan a good morning and give her these flowers to show her my love-" "She doesn't want it." He replied with an enraged tone. He turned his head to me "Can visitors enter your school?" He asked quietly "Yeah if they give their I.D. to the reception." I replied. He nodded and grabbed my hand as he parked his bike by the bike rack "I'll walk you to class then!" He said positively as he swung an arm around my shoulder "H-huh?" I said with a blush. He smiled at me brightly as I shook my head with a soft smile.

When Shinobu looked forward, Giichi turned his head and glared daggers with his ice cold eyes at Douma. He faced back and talked to Shinobu happily. People stared at them as they walked into the university. Douma clenched a fist and walked off to work 'That God damn kid.' He thought before he disappeared by an alley.
