They walked into the restaurant as they were greeted by the shining fluorescent lights. She smiled in awe as she looked around the place "Do you have a reservation, Sir?" The steward asked as they reached him "Yes. Tomioka Giichi." Giichi said as the man went through his list before nodding with a smile "This way, Mr. Tomioka." He said as they followed behind him "Mr. Tomioka has a nice ring to it." Shinobu giggled as he smiled down at her "What about a Mrs?" He teased as she brushed it off. They walked down a hallways designed as an aquarium from the walls to the ceiling. The sight of two dolphins swimming near them made them smile. They seemed to be mates "That's you and that's me." Giichi joked as they reached the end before being led to a velvet hallway. The steward stopped in front of an elevator as he pressed the button and pointed for them to enter "I will send up a waiter in a moment. Please enjoy!" He said as the elevator doors shut. They waited in the silence of the elevator before it dinged open. Shinobu let out a loud gasp before wandering off in front of Giichi. He had a smile plastered on his face as he watched her. There was a single table for two with a candle in the middle. That wasn't what caught her attention thought. The breathtaking view that displayed a million stars in the swirling sky, the dazzling sight of Tokyo from a high point, and the glimmering decorations of diamonds and roses "Giichi... this is amazing!" She exclaimed as she rested her palms on the railing while the wind blew through her hair "Only the best for Shinobu." He said lovingly as she looked up at him with the warmest smile she could ever give before cupping his cheeks and pulling him into a passionate kiss. He walked her back to the table as he pulled out her chair and pushed her back in "Would you like to order now, Ma'am Sir?" The waiter asked as they scanned through the menu. They ordered what they wanted before chatting between each other after the waiter left "You didn't have to reserve us a table at someplace like this. I was actually planning on staying at home with you and watch movies all day." Shinobu stated as he grabbed her hand across the table and massaged the back of it with his thumb "Well, tonight is special." Giichi smiled as she hummed. They caught each other in a loving gaze as their eyes locked. Deep sea blue orbs staring into gradient wisteria colored ones "Here are your orders." A voice called as they looked up. Her eyes widened as her mouth hung agape "Sabito- san? What are you doing here?" She asked as he gave his best friend a side glance. Giichi subtly shook his head as Sabito looked back at Shinobu "A-Ah. I'm working here as a cover for a friend. He had a family trip." He lied as she nodded. He served them their food, but as he was about to walk into the elevator "Sabito." Giichi called "Let's talk for a moment." He smiled before telling her he'd be back in a second as they walked behind a pillar far from the table "Have you heard back from Hakuji?" He asked as his best friend nodded "He said they plan a kidnapping tonight. He also stated for you to play along with the moment." Sabito started as his brows knitted "He can't ensure that you'll be completely safe, but just give Shinazugawa the signal and he'll be ready." He continued as Giichi nodded before thanking him "I have my earpiece. You can check into my situation from afar and through the mic." He said before waving at Sabito as he entered the elevator "Sorry about that, Love." He smiled at her as she assured him it was okay. They ate their meal with tons of smiles and laughs. They stayed there for a moment by the railing as they stared at the view. Giichi had his hands around her waist as she cupped his hands with hers "Shinobu?" He called as she hummed in reply "Would you be sad if I died?" He asked as she looked up at him with a constipated expression "Of course I would! Why are you asking that now? You aren't planning anything stupid are you?!" She shot questions at him as he shook his head with a small smile "I just thought about it. When I grow old with you and watch our future children get married and have lives of their own." He said before resting his chin on top of her head. Fresh hot tears formed at the corners of his eyes 'I'm scared of leaving her alone if I die tonight.' He thought before blinking them away "Shall we go? I have somewhere I want to take you." He said gently as she nodded.
