A loud bang resounded around the office, disturbing the previous peace. "YOU STUPID, NARCISSISTIC, EGOTISTICAL, INCONSIDERATE JERK!"
As the brunette continued to fume, she stalked over to her desk and sat down in utter annoyance.
The stupid jerk. It wouldn't hurt him to take one day off. And would it kill him to spend the day with her?!
When they had started going out she knew that he wasn't going to be the average boyfriend but still - one date. That was all she asked for.
They had been dating for several months now. She had given him time, hoping he'd asked her on a date himself.
But of course, this was still Naru.
He didn't have to be such a jerk about it when she so kindly asked him to take a day off though.
The brunette sighed. Why was her love life so complicated?
With her arms crossed, she shot a glare towards her boyfriend's office.
On cue, Naru came out of his office. Noticing Mai's narrowed eyes, he sighed.
"Mai…" He began before Mai held her hand up.
"Don't Naru. It's okay. Go back and work." Her tone of voice was anything but 'okay' though, as she made a shooing motion with her hand.
Naru narrowed his eyes. ''Would you please hear me out?" He asked, slightly irritated.
He brunette sighed frustratedly, but nonetheless she gave a small nod.
"When I said I wouldn't take a day off that doesn't mean I won't take you out on a date. I'm swamped with work and reports for my father and on top of that mother wants me to visit England" he explained in one breath.
Mai's brows shot up at that. That was probably the most he had ever said at one tie… and fast too!
One look at him was enough for her. "Fine I forgive you" she began.
She crossed her arms and looked away from him. If she stared into those blue eyes of his for too long, she'd just lose herself in them.
"But you still have to take me on a date. I mean seriously Naru."
After a few moments she heard him sigh. "If it will make you happy...then fine, I'll take you out on a date." He said.
Mai grinned jumping up and pecking him on the cheek. "Thank-you!" she exclaimed. She wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a quick hug.
Naru simply rolled his eyes at her. "And Mai?" "Let me guess..."
Mai grinned a bit. "Tea?"
He smirked, "I (was) going to say I love you but on second thought, yes. Tea." Mai pressed her lips together, trying desperately to fight off her blush.
"You're a jerk you know that?" she muttered.
His smirk widened.
"You tell me every day." He stated.
The brunette pouted. "I do not" she denied. "You've already call me one twice in the last ten minutes." He replied, taking a small step towards her.
Instinctively, Mai took an immediate step back. "W-well that's because you were being a jerk!" she exclaimed.
"Three times now." He said. Since Mai backed up he moved forward again.
Mai gulped and went to take another step back only to find her back against the desk. "Thats not fair" she whined.
"What's not fair?" Naru smirked as he looked down at the girl right in front of him.
The brunette pouted with rosy cheeks, "You know i don't mean to call you a jerk but you keep adding to the number!"
Her boyfriend leaned down to her level.
"That makes four. I believe you owe me for being so cruel" he teased.
"And just w-what do I owe?" She asked even though she had a sneaky suspicion of what it was. She mentally cursed herself for stuttering though.
His smirk widened. Leaning over, he pressed his lips to hers quickly before pulling back. "I think you know."
Mai narrowed her eyes. "It better not be tea."
Naru chuckled, "If i wanted tea i would simply tell you to get it for me" he spoke, mirth in his eyes.
She suddenly remembered he kinda already did tell her to make tea.
Seeing it as a chance to get out of her current predicament she smiled innocently at him. "I should go make your tea now."
Still smiling sweetly, she took small steps to the side to remove herself from the cage-like hold Naru had on her as he watched her moves like hawk.
Trying to be discreet -and failing- she tried to move quickly towards the kitchen.
Before she got a chance to escape though, he swiftly grabbed her wrist in a gentle grip with his smirk still in place.
Tugging her back he wrapped an arm around her waist. "You know" he whispered huskily in her ear, "you still owe me."
"C-Can't I owe you with that date?" She laughed nervously.
He hmmm'ed as though he was actually thinking about it but Mai could practically feel his smirk. "No, i don't think you can. Knowing you, you'd act like it never happened."
"Aha...ha... Whaaat? O-of course not!"
Naru couldn't help but scoff at that.
Pulling her closer to him, Mai continued to laugh nervously as she tried to weakly push him away. "Ehe...so when exactly do you plan on taking me out on this date?"
Naru rolled his eyes. "Well it's 5 now, if you finish your work up -after getting me some tea- then we can leave early" he suggested.
A grin instantly appeared on her face; she nodded happily.
Moving around slightly, she tried to escape her boyfriend's arms.
"Y-You have to let me go now, Naru..."
Naru smirked, "Only if you give me a kiss" he bargained.
Mai blushed before giving him a quick kiss on his lips.
He smirked at her red face before loosening his grip and letting her go.
The brunette sighed in relief and quickly finished the trip to the kitchen.
Entering the kitchenette she took a deep breath to calm herself.
Damn him for being hot. She thought.
Why does he always have to do that to her?!
As she mentally rambled about her irritable boyfriend, she began to make his tea.
She couldn't help but smile as she waited for the water to boil however. They were actually going on a date!
She tried to imagine where Naru would take her but she couldn't see anything.
I guess I'll have to wait! She thought excitedly.
Grabbing the tea, she made her way to Naru's office with it, a small spring in her step.
She knocked on his door and went in before waiting for an answer.
"Heres your tea Naru" she chirped, grinning.
She turned around on her heels once she set his cup down began walking back to her desk so she could hurry and finish her work.
Less than an hour later, Mai walked into Naru's office.
"Naru~!" Her grin was in place. "I'm done with my work~!"
Her boyfriend rolled his eyes at the girl's antics. "Alright" he stated, writing something down before snapping his book closed.
Mai couldn't help but feel giddy inside. She tried to stay calm on the outside though.
Not that she was doing a very good job. Naru could clearly see her excitement.
He mentally sighed. This girl was going to be the death of him.
Just as they were about to leave, Lin exited his office. He shot Naru a small knowing smirk.
"Going somewhere?" The older man couldn't help but ask.
Mai jumped, having not realised Lin's presence. She turned around smiling widely, too excited to explain.
"I'm taking Mai out..." Naru narrowed his eyes at the man when his smirk widened. "Close up the office for tonight when you're done."
Nodding, Lin turned to walk back into his office. Shooting a smirk at the young boy he mouthed to Naru 'Make sure you use protection' before going into his office.
Naru glared holes into the Chinese man's door as Mai, who was oblivious as to what Lin had said, grabbed his arm and pulled him out of the office.
Sighing, he looked down at the petite brunette who was humming in excitement. "Mai, do you even know where you're going?" he asked.
His girlfriend suddenly stopped walking and looked up at him.
"Ehh...no..." She confessed.
Naru sighed at the girl. "Do you want to get changed before i do?"
Mai blinked and looked down at her clothes. They really weren't going off material... The girl nodded hastily.
"Yes, please..."
Walking over to his car he rolled his eyes when Mai looked confused.
"Are you coming?" he inquired teasingly.
Mai huffed before running towards him.
"Jerk" she muttered.
When they arrived at her apartment, Mai opened her side of the door before Naru even came to a complete stop.
He shot her a glare. "Be more careful" he scolded.
"Sorry, sorry!" She said although she didn't sound sincere.
Naru growled at her and was about to continue his lecture when she raced inside.
Gritting his teeth, he complemented whether to follow the idiotic girl or just wait outside.
Sighing, he decided he'd go up to her apartment. If anything, it meant he could sneak a couple more kisses. She deserved a little bit of embarrassment after that little stunt.
All throughout the trip up to her place, he couldn't help but smirk.
Opening her door he rolled his eyes. Either she left it unlocked for him or she forgot to lock it.
He really hoped it was the former but something told him it was most likely the latter.
He looked around the small apartment. A small photo caught his eye. It was SPR not too long ago. If he remembered correctly, it wasn't long after he and Mai started dating.
Hearing Mai's shower turn off he smirked. This would be the perfect time to embarrass her. Walking over to the door, he leaned against it in a way that Mai wouldn't notice when she came out.
He'd be able to come behind her and trap her in his arms this way.
He tried not to think of the possibility that she could come out in only a towel. Now that would just be embarrassing for the both of them.
Seconds later, the door opened an Mai stepped out. She didn't even bother to look around her as she did.
Smirking, Naru wrapped his arms around her waist.
She let out a small squeal as he did in surprise.
Leaning over, he placed a kiss on her neck.
He felt her shiver under his touch.
His smirk widened and he moved to whisper in her ear.
"You know you really should remember to lock your door... Anyone could have walked in on you."
The brunettes face flushed, "I-i will next time" she stuttered, trying to move away.
Naru's hold on her was too firm though, allowing her to go nowhere.
"And what about when you jumped out of the car earlier?" he asked, nibbling on her ear.
Her face blushed even more.
"I-I won't do it a-again..." She promised.
Naru couldn't help but smirk loving how red he was making her. A little more might do it. "You know, i can't help but think you're lying."
"I-I'm not." She insisted, feeling him tighten his grip on her.
Naru used one of his hands to turn her face towards him. "Are you sure?"
She nodded hastily. Gaaah, why does he always have to put me in these situations?! He's always such a tease!
Leaning over, her boyfriend place a kiss on the corner if her mouth.
"You better not be lying." He warned.
"The brunette gulped. "What if I was, not that i am but..."
He hummed into her ear. "You don't want to know, Mai."
Mai shivered. "O-okay. Can you let g-go now?" she stuttered, her face as red as a tomato.
"Fine..." He released her at a leisure pace. "But only because we have to leave."
The brunette grinned up at him remembering the date they were going on. "Let's go then!" she exclaimed, grabbing his hand and dragging him towards the door.
"Are you sure you have everything and are completely ready?" He doubled checked with her. He didn't want her complaining later now because she remembered she forgot to do something.
Mai nodded, "I'm sure now lets go" she whined.
She looked into his midnight blue eyes with a pleading look.
"Alright." He sighed before leading her out of her apartment.
It wasn't long before they reached his own apartment.
Thankfully Mai kept her promise and didn't go jumping out the car this time.
Getting out of the car, he watched as Mai followed suit.
They walked up to his apartment and Mai stayed seated on the couch in the living room while he went to get dressed.
She waited for 10 minutes before she began to get irritated.
Even she didn't take this long. She had been in and out the shower in like five minutes.
"Naru" she whined walking over to the door, "hurry up."
"I'm almost done." His deep voice was muffled from the other side of the door,
The brunette couldn't help but scoff.
"Fine." She grumbled, making her way back to the living room.
Another 5 minutes of waiting and Mai was at her whits end. How in the hell did it take one guy this long?! She hadn't even heard the shower turn off yet!
Was he even going to take one? If he was then they might as well not even go out tonight considering what time it was already.
"Hurry up Naru!" She yelled impatiently.
Huffing, she crossed her arms.
Another minute or two and Mai heard the door to the bathroom door open.
"Finally." She muttered to herself.
She turned around to see Naru exit the bathroom.
Standing up, she walked over to him with an annoyed expression.
Her hands rested on her hips as she glared at him. "Exactly how long does it take you to get ready?"
Naru raised a brow as his gaze landed on her, though his head was lowered a bit.
"It wasn't that long." He said nonchalantly.
The brunette threw her hands up in exasperation. "Of course not because everyone takes 20 minutes to get ready" she mocked.
Really, it should not take him longer than it did her to get dressed.
Her boyfriend smirked at her. "Good looks like mine need to be taken care off."
Mai flushed. "Narcissist!"
His smirk widened. "Who's the idiot dating this narcissist?"
Her eyes narrowed while her cheeks became redder.
"I'm sorry, i didn't quite catch your reply" he challenged.
"...You're a jerk." She said with a pout.
Mai turned to look him in the eyes only to get annoyed when she couldn't see them.
She knew he was looking at her, but because his head was lowered a bit and his hair was in the way, she couldn't see his eyes.
She mentally screamed in irritation. How was she supposed to tell what her emotionless boyfriend was feeling if she couldn't look him in the eyes?
They always let her know what he was feeling—without fail. Not to mention how beautiful they were. She could just melt in them if she stared in them for more than a few seconds.
Without realising it, Mai had moved closer to Naru to try and get a glance at his eyes.
Just one glance, that's all she needed...
Naru raised a brow at the smaller girl. What was she doing now? She just kept staring at him weirdly...
It surprised him when she lifted her hand and swept his fringe out of his eyes.
Then he saw her face flash in mild irritation.
She went to repeat her actions when she realised what she was doing.
The brunette blinked a few times before blushing madly.
"I-I u-um... I-I mean..." she stuttered trying to explain what happened.
She took a few steps back and lowered her head.
Her boyfriend couldn't help but chuckle at her actions.
This girl was always so amusing.
"If you wanted to be closer to me you should have just asked" Naru smirked.
Mai jerked her head up. "Wh-what? T-That wasn't—I wasn't—I mean..."
He rolled his eyes at her grabbing her arm. "Come on idiot."
Mai puffed out her cheeks but nonetheless allowed herself to be pulled along.
The thought of arguing crossed her mind but she quickly got rid of such thoughts. She was going on a real date!
(Naru) was taking her on a (date)! She didn't want to make him change his mind if she ended up arguing with him.
That wouldn't be good. It had already taken her this long to get a date out of him, she wasn't sure if she could wait any longer.
Glancing up at her boyfriend, Mai smiled warmly. Yup, there was no way she was going to mess this up.
