Is that a promise?

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR, PAGE TWO

"Frank..."
You whined, trying to get out of his grip.
His head pressed up against your side, refusing to let go of you.
"No... I wanna cuddle with you more."
He smiled sweetly, his ears turning a light pink.
"If you want me to get off, then let's go somewhere today.. Hm?"
He looked up at you, with pleading eyes.
"Y/N?"
Finally looking at him, Frank pouts. Giving you the puppy dog eyes, and it made your heart burst.
"No! Frank, you haven't slept in days, and now you wanna go somewhere?"
Looking anywhere but his eyes, he nuzzled closer.
"Yeah, but..."
His arms pull you closer to him, his thumb drawing small circles on your side.
"I'm okay now, cause I'm with you."
Smiling again, you rolled your eyes and huffed.
"Okay, fine!"
He got up excitedly, peppering you with kisses, making you giggle.
"Now get off! And stop-- kissing me-!"
You pushed him off gently, grabbing your towel.

He looks at you, pouting.
"Where are you going?"
He asked,

"I'm taking a shower...?"
You show him the towel, waving it a little.
You opened the door, about to close it when he spoke.
"Can I join you?"
Smirking at you.
You flipped him off, making him laugh.
"Ha ha, Frank."
Slamming the door shut, he shouted,
"You didn't answer!"
.
.
.
.
The two of you got ready, not knowing where exactly Frank will be taking you.
Luckily, he brought extra clothes when he came here. Wearing a black button down shirt, with white fitted pants.
You decided to match his attire, just switching the colors. With a white button down shirt and black fitted pants.
"Look! We're matching!"
He wrapped his arm around your shoulder, pointing into the mirror.
You roll your eyes, unable to hide your smile.
You spot your silver bracelets on top of the cabinet. Grabbing the two silver bracelets, you turn towards him.
"Here, we can match even more!"
Putting the bracelet on his wrist, you stretched yours towards him.
Putting the bracelet on you, he put his wrist next to yours.
"It hasn't been long since we started dating and we're already like a couple."
He chuckled, you look up at him, intertwining your hands with his.
"Well... I mean we can be a couple."
You muttered, leading him outside.

"Don't worry, Y/N..."
He cupped your cheek, making you face him. Leaning more into his touch, he smiled softly.
"I won't make you wait too long."
.
.
.
.
"Frank!?"
You exclaimed, making him flinch.
"Yes?"
He asked innocently, you gesture towards the restaurant.
"Wha- wait.. Huh?!"
He laughed at your reactions, getting out of the car, he made his way to your side and opened the door for you.
"Isn't it... Expensive here..?"
You whispered as he held your hand, walking towards the entrance.
He shrugs, smiling. Reassuring you.
"I'll take care of it..."
You give him a look, making him sigh.
"If you'd like, we can split?"
You smiled, raising an eyebrow towards you.
"I mean... I don't have my wallet right now..."
He smirked,
"But this restaurant is expensive.."
He shook his head,
"Like I said, I can pay for us. My treat, Y/N."
Giving him a small okay, he lead you inside.

After you ate, Frank offered to buy some ice cream near the park.
You agreed, happily eating your strawberry ice cream.
Sitting on a park bench, laughing with Frank.
Some people looked at the both of you, smiling politely and looking in awe.
"I wonder how the kids are doing..."
And just as you said that, they appeared out of nowhere.
Spotting you near Frank, they screamed.
"Y/N!!"
Running towards you, jumping and hugging you.
"Jeez, guys..! I need to breathe!"
They let go of you, looking over at Frank.

"What are you two doing here?"
Tricky asked. The other kids' wiggling their eyebrows, giggling.
"We're on a..."
Trailing off, glancing your eyes towards Frank. Smiling reassuringly.
"A date.."
They went silent.

"A date!?"
Yutani screamed, covering her mouth after. Unable to contain their gasps and giggles.
"Y/N finally has a boyfriend!"
They screamed in unison, while you and Frank shushed them.
They apologized as soon as Frank gave them some money, telling them to buy some food for themselves.

"Oh wow, handing off money like it's nothing."
He laughed, shaking his head.
"Come on, with a job like mine?"
He had a point, a job like his would pay good money.

A few minutes passed, then a older woman approached you.
"Hi!"
Waiting for your response, she continued.
"Hello!"
You smiled,
"Well, I just wanna say... That you two are a cute couple."
Your face went warm, and Frank had gone a little red. She noticed and laughed softly.
"We just can't help but watch as you two talk, you two were having such a grand time... I mean, we even made bets as to who would kiss who first."
She blurted while laughing.
"A bet?"
Frank asked, making the woman nod while talking.
Not listening to the woman, your eyes keep glancing towards Frank. His eyes looking at the woman, nodding at her words but he wore a smirk.
As soon as the woman stopped talking, Frank grabbed your face and kissed your cheek.
Your face went very red.
The woman's group whistled and cheered, while the other's handed money to those who cheered.
The woman chuckled and winked at the both of you.

"Frank!"
Smacking him on his thigh, he laughed loudly, clutching his stomach.
"Im sorry, Y/N! But there was a bet, I wanted them to win!"
He said, pinching your cheeks while you pouted.
.
.
.
.
The kids said goodbye after buying  ice cream, not wanting to disturb your date.
Not shortly after, the date ended and Frank drove you back home.
It was nearing night time, and Frank said he'll be going back to his own home.
"I want you to stay..."
You offered, making him pull you to his side. His arm around your shoulder,
"Yeah?"

"Yeah..."

He sighed, rolling his eyes. Looking down at you.
"I guess I'll have to stay."
He smiled upon seeing you smile.
