(no subject)

Who: Uruki [livejournal.com profile] the_wind_woman and Takiko [livejournal.com profile] waterfallchild
What: A date
When: Monday, around lunchtime, definitely before Tomite's intro post.
Where: The western lake
Summary: The happy couple needs some time alone to talk and...stuff.
Rating: PG, these two aren't quite up to higher ratings yet.


True, Hikitsu arriving had been a great thing, but he did miss the fact that he pretty much had Takiko to himself (well, annoying now former housemate aside). It was still a bit strange to him to be around her and that they weren't being attacked by armies and assassins. Truly, he'd gone a whole month without some serious injury, that in and of itself was a feat. Still, it wasn't perfect here, but he was definitely going to do what he could to ensure she fell in love with him again.

So he realized, some time alone with little to no chance for interruptions, or chances for anyone to get hurt would do them a lot of good. And he wanted to surprise her, and he wanted to pick a place that just felt right.

He'd made the arrangements for them to have a nice romantic meal out by the lake, that would be a perfect setting. So first he set things up for a nice romantic picnic. He got some food from the restaurant, since his cooking would give away his plans right away. He also picked up a few things from the bakery, and of course set out a blanket for them.

Once things were ready, he went back to the house to find Takiko. He just hoped no one disturbed his preparations while he was bringing her here.

Strange, but almost a relief. Between being kidnapped, Hikitsu's arrival, her birthday and now Demyx leaving, it'd been a roller coaster of a month. Down time was good. And it was what she was enjoying now, sitting on the front step of the house with her hands clasped upon her knees. That was how he'd find her, and when she saw him coming, her face lit up.

It couldn't be helped. Lately, she'd come to realize that now as in the future, they were more than simply friends, or a priestess and her protector. her heart fluttered in her chest, and she smiled up at him. "Did you enjoy your walk?" she asked innocently, not at all aware of what he'd planned for them.

"Hm? Like what?" Curious and bemused, she smiled again, and took the hand he offered. She'd let him take her anywhere. As much as she liked and trusted the others, there was more there with him. Enough that she wouldn't even ask where they were going, like she would if Hikitsu had wanted to show her something.

As luck had it, her journal was in her room. She really hadn't felt like hearing other voices today, as it was. "Already in my room. I wanted some quiet today." she admitted, and moved closer until she was leaning against him lightly.

"I want to see what you have to show me."

"I can't wait," she replied with a smile. To have some alone time with him was a treat so rare that she wasn't about to think twice. Especially in a place where nobody would interrupt them as had happened so often here earlier.

Annoying and honestly, something she didn't want to deal with what with being kidnapped, and Demyx and her birthday. For the life of her, she couldn't remember if she'd even told him about it.

Her hand squeezed his, as she kept in step with them as they walked toward the lake.

After the long but altogether pleasant walk, the last thing she'd expected was a picnic. Her eyes went round with surprise, as she turned to look at him. "When.." When had he had time to do this? She hadn't thought he'd been gone long enough to do all this.

"This is.. wonderful! Thank you." Takiko's arms went around him, tugging him close. She smiled against his chest, truly happy. An unexpected but truly pleasant surprise. And of course, there was a tint of rose to her cheeks, because she was able to tell when an outing was meant for a couple rather than friends.

After awhile she let go, and sat down cross-legged upon the blanket. The food smelt very good, and she really was hungry. True to her manners though, she wouldn't touch a thing until he sat down, and began serving himself, too.

This was her first date, too. Did it show in her cheeks? They burned, but for once she didn't care. This was a wonderful thing he'd done for them, and as he sat down, she smiled across the way at him. "Definitely. Between when I was kidnapped and my birthday, and Demyx.." Ooops. She hadn't told him about her birthday. There hadn't been any time.

"I turned eighteen, anyway." she said, shoulders sagging a bit. She'd meant to tell him. Anyway, she grasped her pair of chopsticks and dug into a bowl of fried rice, hungrier than even she realized.

Definitely the first date. She wasn't at all embarrassed to be spending time with him. No, in fact she was the happiest she'd been in a long time. To be able to take a break and enjoy his company without Hikitsu in two was a rare treat.

"I'm sorry," she said quietly. Takiko had all but forgot, she'd been so sore and tired from her ordeal with the Malnosso.

When he said those words, she smiled at him, and set down her bowl to grasp his hands. "Thank you." There was more she wanted to say, so much more. The girl worried her bottom lip with her teeth before she set her jaw and met his eyes with a fond look.

"You're wonderful. I'm happier when I'm with you than I've been in my life. And.." Deep breath, deep breath. "If I'm not in love with you already, then I'm falling too fast to tell the difference." Color burned in her cheeks, but she was smiling. She wanted to tell him, because it was how she felt; and something he'd been waiting to hear.

No matter what happened here, Japan, his world.. nothing would change how she felt.

"You don't mind?" she smiled at that, because it showed just how much he cared about her. So long as he didn't mind, neither did she. Really, how could she complain? Fate had been kind enough to her by letting them meet in the first place. And now he was in love with her, and..

It had been difficult to say. Her cheeks were pink, and she was looking rather shyly over at him. Words like those, feelings like those changed things entirely. It was as if her world had shifted on its axis, and here he was again, telling her he loved her. Breathing in a quick inhale of air to steady herself, she smiled at him.

When he kissed her, this time unlike the others she tilted her face, closed her eyes and returned it fully. The feelings were there behind the gesture for her fully and it made this all the nicer.
