As the final bell rang, Near exited his final class. L walked next to him as they exited the building and waited for their favorite set of siblings. "Excited?" L asked monotonously.

"There is an odd sensation in my stomach. It feels… Illogically warm." Near shoved his hands in his pockets.

A girl ran up to Near, "Hey! Are you REALLY dating Sayu?" He nodded. "Hmm yeah, I figured that would be a far fetched lie, even for the girl's room."

He narrowed his eyes slightly, "What's that supposed to mean?"

She giggled, "Oh, nothing!" She ran up to her friends and whispered among them. They giggled and watched as Light and Sayu greeted the other two. Light leaned in and kissed L's cheek and Sayu smiled brightly at Near. Lost for anything else to do, as they were being watched he held his arm out. She quickly interlocked them together and smiled. The other girls erupted in laughter and squeals.

"Forget them! Let's go!" Sayu gave Near a warm smile. "What do you want to do? I want to get to know you better!"

Near blushed at her smile as they started walking away, "Um. I normally just go home and hide, so, I honestly don't even know what's around here."

Sayu stopped and stared at him, "How?! Ohmygod! We need to get some ice cream!" He blinked a few times and smiled softly. "What's the problem?" He shook his head and followed her. She released his arm and grabbed his hand. "Let's go then!" She interlaced their fingers as she dragged a blushing Nate behind her.

Light and L looked at each other and rolled their eyes before laughing.

She dragged him up to an ice cream vendor, "What kind do you want?" He shrugged, "Fine! Can I get a double scoop strawberry with chocolate drizzle?" The vendor smiled and started making it. She reached for her purse but Near had already handed the man the money. "What are you doing?"

"Paying. It would be rude to be on a date with a beautiful girl and not pay for her." Near blushed slightly as she smiled. "Any gentleman would!" He quickly defended.

Her smile softened, "Then, I guess, you're the first gentleman I've ever been on a date with." She blushed a little. She sat on a nearing bench and held out the ice cream, "Try it! It's delicious!"

Hesitantly he leaned forward and gave the frozen treat a try.

She smiled and took a big bite, "You've got better than that!"

He smiled in thought, "That's it. That's what L sees in him… He's a challenge." He leaned in a took a small bite.

"Oh! Come on!" She shoved the ice cream into his mouth as he opened it to talk. "That's better!"

He blushed brightly, "Um."

She laughed and leaned in wiping some of the ice cream from his mouth, her eyes catching his. "Sorry."

He smirked slightly, "It was good, for what it's worth."

She smiled again, "Let's go to the street festival!" He arched an eyebrow. "Oh jeez! You're missing out of life! Was your brother a shut in before mine?" She grabbed his hand and led him down the street and to a park where live music played and small carnival games.

Taking in the scenery he noticed a lot of kids from school, "Are you sure you want to be here… With me?"

She looked over to where he was looking, "Who cares? You're a lot of fun! It's no wonder my bother is so hung up on yours." She flashed a sweet smile, "Let's play some games!"

The live music was playing, and Sayu tried to get the rings on the bottles. "I can't get it!"

Near watched her silently, "Can I try?" She stepped aside and handed him her remaining rings. He smirked at her, "Which one do you want?" She tilted her head and he pointed to the prizes.

She smiled, "Confident?"

He rolled his sleeves up and licked his finger to test the wind speed, "No. I'm not confident, I'm sure."

She giggled and pointed, "The big panda!"

He looked up, "5 Rings I have to get… Alright." He tossed the first ring and skillfully landed it directly on the bottle.

Sayu squealed, "Amazing!"

He tossed the others with ease all landing on the bottle, just one remained. He tossed it and it spun along the top of the bottle, they both watched the ring with anticipation, it came to a stop standing on the bottle, then a gentle gust of wind knocked it over onto the bottle next to it. "Well… That works."

Sayu squealed again as the game master handed her the large panda. "Wow, that was incredible!" He shrugged and put his hands in his pockets as she pulled him in and kissed him excitedly on the lips.

A band took the stage and a man with short dreadlocks tapped the mic, "Let's do this!" As he started strumming the guitar.

-"So she said what's the problem baby

What's the problem I don't know

Well maybe I'm in love (love)

Think about it every time

I think about it

Can't stop thinking 'bout it"-

Sayu smiled and pulled Near up to the band. "Dance with me!"

-"How much longer will it take to cure this

Just to cure it cause I can't ignore it if it's love (love)

Makes me want to turn around and face me but I don't know nothing 'bout love"-

He blushed brightly, "I don't know how."

She grabbed his hand, "I'll show you! Because, I really don't get it anyway! So, who care what we look like!"

-"Come on, come on

Turn a little faster

Come on, come on

The world will follow after

Come on, come on

'Cause everybody's after love"-

Sayu pulled him along spinning him and the panda. The crowd smiled at her and Near and another small group joined them in dancing.

-"So I said I'm a snowball running

Running down into the spring that's coming all this love

Melting under blue skies

Belting out sunlight

Shimmering love"-

"I've never done anything like this…" He said loudly so she could hear him.

She smiled and yelled back, "Me either! It's fun!"

-"Well baby I surrender

To the strawberry ice cream

Never ever end of all this love

Well I didn't mean to do it

But there's no escaping your love"-

He smiled and hugged her tightly swinging her around, she cackled happily still hanging onto the panda. She smiled and kissed him again softly, he smiled at the flavor of her kiss… Still tasted like strawberries.

-"These lines of lightning

Mean we're never alone,

Never alone, no, no"-

They stared at each other for a moment as clouds started to move in.

-"Come on, come on

Move a little closer

Come on, come on

I want to hear you whisper

Come on, come on

Settle down inside my love"-

She smiled again and kissed him again, and grabbed his hand. As rain started to come down interrupting the band and the game masters started closing their stalls. The other patrons scattered at the first sight of the rain, but they stayed still, still locked in their embrace. Their lips parted and she sighed, "Guess, that cancels that…"

He sighed, "If you say so." He pulled out a folded umbrella and unfolded it a few times and unfolded it, handing it to her.

"What about you?" She asked as she reached for the umbrella.

"I'll be alright. The weather forecast for today called for rain." He looked at his watch, "It's late."

She chuckled softly and snuggled next to him as they walked arm and arm. "So prepared, unlike me. What a ruiner of dates!" She pouted slightly.

"I don't think so. Rain is the mother of life. Without it nothing would be possible." They walked next to each other, "I'll walk you home."

As they walked down the street happily they passed Sayu's ex and new girlfriend. She swatted the boy, "Seriously?! Why can't you be prepared like him!"

Nate smirked at her when he noticed she wasn't even paying attention to who they passed, but continued to happily talk about the next date they could go on.

He stopped in front of her front door, "I had fun, Nate. I can't wait to do it again!"

He looked at the ground, "Why? You got what you wanted. You didn't see them?"

She blinked a couple of times and hugged her big panda and kissed his cheek, "Who?"

He blinked a couple times, "Your—"

He was silenced with a light kiss on the lips, "Guess I'm accidentally in love." She winked and turned the handle to her door, "See you tomorrow!"

Still stunned, "But... tomorrow is Saturday."

She giggled as she stepped inside, "I know." She shut the door leaving him standing there with a goofy smile.
