“Is
that a good thing?” They had reached her porch and had stopped walking.
“You
know, I suppose it is. Thank you for tonight. Good bye Hiiro.” She turned
around to go in.
“Wait.”
His voice paused her. “Can I… will you… are you busy next
Saturday?” He asked flustered. He had never been good with women and
words.
“Not
yet…” She smirked. He gathered courage from her smirk and continued
on.
“Would
you like to come with me some where?”
“Depends.”
She teased.
“On?”
He asked, frowning.
“Oh,
stop looking so dejected! I’m not saying no because it’s you.
I’m saying maybe because I don’t know, number one, if I can get a
babysitter, and number two, because I don’t know where we would be
going.”
“
Out.” He mentioned cryptically. She wanted to toy with him? Two could
play at that game.
“Out
huh? Out where?” She asked. She knew what she was falling into. And as
far as she was concerned, she didn’t mind jumping in head first.
“Depends.
Will you come?” He pressed.
“Alright
then.” She nodded with a sparkle in her eye. His breath caught once
again. He loved to watch her when her face was so illuminated with excitement
and mischief.
“Good.
And wear something nice, but that you won’t mind getting dirty.” He
added.
“Fine.”
“Good.”
“Good.”
“Fine.”
“Good
night Hiiro.” She said once more, stepping away from him again. She
turned around to go in, then hesitated. Changing her mind, she turned back
around to Hiiro. Walking up to him, she quickly pecked the corner of his mouth
before pulling away and going in.
Hiiro
stood stunned by her actions for a moment. Then he shook his mind off of his
cin-full thoughts and began walking back to his work zone. There was no way he
would be able to sleep tonight. He was so tense from his date, yet so… he
was just content. And that was enough.
As
Serena walked into the quiet and dark house, she hung up her coat and walked
into the family room where her five friends had been very poorly spying on her
and her ‘date’ through the window. She expected to get quite a
mouthful form them. But she got nothing. Instead, she got stunned expressions.
Then, two very low words escaped from Trowa’s lips.
“Hiiro
Yui.”*
