Mitsunari didn't even break a sweat as he lifted a stack of boxes to place them in the corner of the storage room.

Sure, it was the student council's job to look around the campus for remaining students during after school hours, but also being the one to lead the school beautification project was uncalled for.

...or maybe not, since they are the highest "student authority" there is in the school. It's only natural for them to lead in major projects like these.

It seems that those were the last of the boxes. The white haired teen went out of the room, shut the door, and went to look for the SC President for more orders.

There were a few other students with them that weren't in the council. Like for example, the ace of the soccer team and the captain of the baseball team. They're here because of their everyday skirmishes. Unless they participate in this activity, they won't be able to perform their duties in their respective clubs. This didn't stop them from bickering during the meetings, though.

An arm draped around Mitsunari's shoulders and he was prepared to hurt whoever dared to do that, but he halted when he saw that it was just Sakon.

"Don't you know you're being followed, Mitsunari-sama?" He grinned, pointing his thumb behind him.

Mitsunari followed it, and sure enough, he locked eyes with a girl.

He swore he saw the girl's hair floof up in surprise before she looked away.

Mitsunari glared at the teen beside him, "Don't be absurd, Sakon."

"Waitwaitwait--" Sakon hurriedly replied, going in front of Mitsunari to block his path, "Yes, I know she's in the project as well, but whenever I see you, she's always somewhere in the area!"

"Maybe it's because we go to the same school."

The red and brown haired teen pouted, but it quickly turned into a grin as he held Mitsunari's shoulders, "You caught her staring at you, right?" He said, in a hushed manner. "Don't you think she may have feelings for you?"

Mitsunari brushed Sakon's hands off and continued to walk, "I don't have time for nonsense like that. Only desperate fools come to conclusions right away."

"Come on, Mitsunari-sama! It would be a nice change in your lifestyle if you could score at least one date with a girl."

"WHAT MAKES YOU THINK THA--"

"Uhm... Excuse me." An unfamiliar voice cut him off.

The two males turned their heads to see the girl holding some money.

"You dropped this." She said, giving it to Sakon.

Mitsunari shot a glare in his direction. Not even Sakon would be so careless as to lose his money without knowing it.

Sakon gave him a wink in reply.

"Thanks, little lady! My name's Shima Sakon," He put a hand on Mitsunari's shoulder, "and this is my friend Ishida Mitsunari. We're in the student council." He smiled at her and gave her a handshake.

"(L/N) (F/N)." She smiled back before turning to Mitsunari. "Hi there." The girl greeted him, and Mitsunari gave her a confused glare.

He took Sakon's hand off him as (F/N) stepped closer to him with a smile.

"So... Are you free tomorrow?" She asked, looking at Mitsunari directly in the eye.

Mitsunari was confused. "...Why?" He asked.

It was obvious why she asked that, but he just couldn't believe it. No girl has had the guts to ask him 'the question' because they were too intimidated or scared to approach him, usually turning to Sakon for help or just plain giving up.

(F/N) cheeks were dusted with pink as she smiled, "I was thinking, maybe we could go out tomorrow! On a date, I mean."

Mitsunari could tell Sakon was making faces, like wriggling his eyebrows or having a stupid grin on his face, and he tried his best to ignore it.

He didn't have time for dates. The teen would rather study than waste his time on a pointless outing. Mitsunari was about to decline, when..

"OF COURSE! He'd love to go out." Sakon cut him off, again draping an arm around his shoulders.

"Sakon." Mitsunari said in a warning tone. He sent maybe the coldest glare yet to Sakon, who felt cold sweat on the back of his neck.

The girl in front of him clasped her hands together in joy, "Great! So what time and where should we meet tomorrow?"

It was a Saturday tomorrow, but the school beautification committee was going to have a meeting on that day on the progress of the project.

"We will be having a meeting tomorro-" Mitsunari started, but once again, he was cut off by Sakon.

"Don't worry, I'll handle it." He winked and gave a thumbs up. "You can count on me to tell you guys the important stuff."

Sakon turned to (F/N), "Let's exchange contact information. You should do it with Mitsunari-sama, as well."

"This is unneces-"

"Well, since we're all a team here, it would be a good idea to do this to have better communication with everyone." (F/N) smiled and complied, entering Sakon's number on her phone. She turned to look at Mitsunari, "What about you, Ishida-san?"

"Don't worry, you can copy his info on my phone here." Sakon showed his phone to (F/N) and she nodded, typing away on her own phone.

Poor Mitsunari couldn't do anything about it except glare at Sakon. He didn't bother to intervene because Sakon would just find a way to make this date happen.

.....and maybe, deep inside his heart, he was actually looking forward to it.

-

Mitsunari made his way to the park with a grumble.

His older brother, Masazumi*, was delighted to hear that his sibling would be going on a date. He 'fixed' Mitsunari's hair for 10 minutes, slicking it back neatly. The older Ishida also picked out his clothes: a simple white polo shirt and jeans.

He felt like Ieyasu.

The thought of Ieyasu made him more irritated, and he messed up the hairstyle his brother worked so hard on, returning it to its normal look.

(F/N) was now in his line of sight, waiting in front of the park gates. It seems she also took notice of him, because she waved at him.

Mitsunari didn't wave back and continued his walk towards her. When the two were finally close enough, he got a better look at her.

Seeing the girl in something other than a school uniform might have brought some heat to his face. Or maybe that was just him brisk walking.

"Sorry, I was just too excited so I came a bit early." (F/N) said as she smiled sheepishly.

"It's fine..." was Mitsunari's reply.

Having never been on a date before, he didn't know what to do in these situations. Hopefully, it wasn't apparent on his face.

Masazumi gave him a little lecture about dates, but he didn't really listen that much. He remembered bits and pieces of it, though. Like that the man should initiate.

He gathered up his courage to speak, but (F/N) beat him to it.

"So, where should we go first?" She asked.

"...How about a café?" Mitsunari suggested. So much for being the initiator.

(F/N) nodded, "Sounds good to me."

They started walking towards a well-known cafe in town.

Inside Mitsunari's mind, he was debating on what choice he should make. Should they hold hands, or no? This IS the first date.. or maybe it would be a good idea to make a move??

He tried to recall Masazumi's lecture, but before he could do so, they  had already arrived at the café.

As soon as Mitsunari came back to his senses, he held out the door for (F/N). She smiled and responded with a 'thank you' as she entered the building. He followed soon after.

They sat down at a table close to the wall before a waiter arrived to take their order.

"Good morning sir and ma'am!"

....Wait.. Mitsunari knew that voice anywhere..

He hesitantly looked up at the waiter and, instantly, his blood boiled.

It was Ieyasu himself.

"Ah, Mitsunari! I thought there was a meeting today about the school beautification project?" He asked.

"Shima-kun took our place for the meantime. He's going to inform us about the important details." (F/N) replied instead.

"OK then." Ieyasu smiled, "Now, may I take you and your girlfriend's order?"

He meant it as a joke, but Mitsunari, who was silent the whole time, was having none of it.

"SHE IS NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!" Mitsunari barked, slamming his hands on the poor, wooden table. He grabbed (F/N)'s wrist and led her out of the café.**

When they were a good amount of distance from the café, Mitsunari let go of her wrist and sighed, covering his face with one hand.

"Sorry, I just..."

"It's fine." Once again, (F/N) cut him off. She put a hand on his shoulder and peered into his face, "I understand. You really didn't like... that dude.. that's why you did what you did."

When Mitsunari showed no signs of budging, she held both of his hands. "Let's just continue on, okay?" (F/N) gave him an calming smile.

He simply nodded, and they made their way to another café to eat. (F/N) held his hand in hers as she led the way.

Mitsunari still felt the her warmth on his free hand, and he felt confused, but pleased.

Maybe he could get used to this.

-

They spent the day walking around town and getting to know each other, and before anyone knew it, the sun was already setting.

"Oh!" (F/N) exclaimed, remembering something. "There's a place I want to show you before the day ends. Come on!" She said before taking his hand and taking the lead.

The sun had already set when they arrived at their destination, giving way to a night sky illuminated by the stars and the moon. She led him to the center of the park, where a fountain was placed.

One could only describe it as... magical. The blue light under the water gave it a mystical effect, as if touching the water would heal your wounds or give you eternal youth.

"This is my favorite place in this town. Reminds me of my previous home, where there was a fountain just like this one." (F/N) smiled, looking at the fountain with nostalgic eyes.

Mitsunari couldn't help himself, looking at her. Like some kind of primal instinct took over him.

He cupped her cheek and gently turned her head to look at him, before he leaned down and pecked her lips.

It was short, yet sweet. Both of their faces were red, as far as they would tell with the blue lighting of the fountain.

"Ah... Eh.. It's getting late, so we should go back soon." (F/N) said, her words coming out kind of in a hurry.

"Yes.. We should do that." Mitsunari replied.

They walked together hand in hand, away from the fountain.

-

When Mitsunari came back to his house, Sakon was there with Masazumi watching TV.

He didn't even get to say 'I'm back' before being bombarded with questions.

Mitsunari didn't understand a thing they asked, since they were speaking at the same time. His brow twitched before he burst.

"SHUT UP!!!"

And they did. Mitsunari quickly made his way to the staircase, up to where his room was on the second floor.

"W-wait! How was the date?!" Sakon hurriedly asked before Mitsunari reached the top.

He paused for a moment, before his cheeks were dusted with pink.

"....I enjoyed it." Was all he said before going to his room and plunging his face into his pillow, remembering the event that happened before he went home.

-

"Thank you for today." (F/N) said with a bashful smile.

Mitsunari nodded, "It.. It was nothing." He replied.

"Goodni-"***

Before he could finish, (F/N) pulled him back and kissed him again. It was a bit more intense than the one they shared in the park.

When they pulled away from each other, (F/N) grinned, "Goodnight. I'll see you again on Monday."

Mitsunari, still in a daze, replied "G-Goodnight.."
