I walked in the pavement, lots of thoughts are in my head. My car is being repaired, and I regret it. A little. But I didn't think about that. Now my heart is full of pride and joy.

Tucking my hair behind my ear, I stared at a restaurant.

Jiro's fave restaurant.

It's expensive ... not that I have problem with it, but ... it's the place where people have to use that neat and tidy clothes ... tuxedo or gown ... I'm not used to it. Of course, I'll use whatever GLAY'd wear, but ... not fot the first date. I'd feel ... uncomfortable.

I walked to the flower shop.

Peering at the flowers, I think about which one should I buy for him.

Roses .... no. White roses ... no, not that. Tulips ... not too match with him ... Orchid ... not at all!! Frangipani ... what the hell am I thinking?

I sighed.

Flowers are beautiful ... but not as beautiful as him ... Well, probably I'd just buy him some white roses. Is it good?

I walked with my hands in my pocket.

I passed a boutique and stopped. I cocked my head to the other side. Should I buy some new dress? You know ... to perform a new look?

Nah.

I walked again and this time I stopped at the perfume store. That's right ... maybe I shouldn't buy new dress or something, should I buy new perfume? I want him to know that I smelled good ... oh well. Kenzo Flower? That's pretty good ... Hugo Red? That's for females!!

Shooking my head, I glanced at the ring store.

A ring ... should I give him some present? Maybe I should ... remembering our anniversary ... uh, but wait, we haven't together yet ... so maybe not ..... yet.

I quickly walked over the stores, thinking should I buy them all or not.

It's red light.

I stand there, with arms crossed. I'm still thinking ... should I buy them, should I buy them ...

Green light.

I bit my lip and turned away.

***

Teru stared at me in amazement. "Welcome home."

"Hi," I said and put all the plastics.

While I gone, Teru came and offering himself to pet Ayu. Well, I know he's not as good as Jiro (Ayu love him very much! Sometimes I even envy the cat!) but Ayu love Teru too.

His eyes widened. "So ...? How's it going?"

"Fine."

"Fine? That's it? Fine?"

I shrugged. "Yeah. What else?"

He laughed. "Tonomura Hisashi, you've been wanting to ask Jiro Wayama a date for few weeks, nervous for completely two weeks, losing your appetite, been drinking those pills, didn't sleep for some nights, and now you just said 'fine'?"

I blushed. "Uh, yeah."

He grinned. "I'm happy for you. Did he say ... yes? Straight? Right after you asked him?"

"No - not really ... his eyes widened at first, I know that he shocked, but then he smiled and nodded. Shyly, a little bit. I think."

Teru patted my back. "Good boy!! That's the spirit!! So ...", his eyes wandered to the plastic bags. "Why did you bought that for?", he stand and walked to them. "Hm, new clothes ... new perfumes, just how many bottles? Wow, white flowers!! What a gentleman!! And ... a ring?"

He looked at me curiously.

I blushed.

"You're planning on betroth him right after your first date?"

"I don't know. I mean, I'm just so confused ... if we're together after that, then ... maybe."

"Waa, Hisa, I wish Takuro would do that to me too!!"

"Heheheh, but the true is, you two have been together since last year and that's not happening."

He pouted. "Takuro is not romantic. But I do love him ... well, I guess that you're home now, I'll leave."

"Thanks for petting Ayu, Teru."

"No prob. Anything for my friends."

He grabbed his coat, taking on his shoes and walked to the front door. But he turned back and grinned impishly at me. "Good luck."

I blushed for the third time.

He sure wants to kill me in embarassment!!

"Thanks. Ma - matte, Teru!"

"Yeah?"

I twiddled on my finger. "Wh - what it feels like? You know, first date with Takky? Is it ... happy? Are you enjoyed it? Do you enjoy it? Do you still remember about it?"

He hold up his hands. "Whoaaaa, Tono-chan. You're nervous, aren't you?"

"Don't tease me, isn't it obvious?"

He nodded and grinned. "Same as me, you know. But, I'm in Jiro's position ... well, just do what Takku-chan did. Uh, dinner, talking about your relationship, if he said yes, then smiled and ask him for a walk before taking him home."

"Ask him for a walk?"

"You know, like ... go to the park or somewhere. There, sit for a moment, commenting about the stars or something ... then wait for the right moment, and ..."

"..... and?", I said impatiently.

"Well, smart guy, time for the kiss!!"

My cheeks are burning. "K - kiss?"

"Hisa, I'm sure you have to practice on that ..."

"W - what the hell?"

"You know, wall is the perfect example because it won't kiss you back ..."

Now I'm blushed so hard. "Aw, Teru, stop!!"

He laughed. "Aah, I guess that's all. Need some advice? Just call Takky. Hehehe, gotta go now. Once again, good luck. Ja!"

"Ja," I said and closed the door.

//Oh God ... please make this date success ...//
