First Date Jitters

???Pov

With Saturday fastly approachingKasanodahad to mentally prepare. He andHaruhistill hung out causally despite the clubs protests. She really seemed to enjoy hanging out and had planned a casual get together at her favorite sushi place not to far from her house. She also had game back at her place they play.

Before he knew it Friday had rolled around. He was both excited and terrified on one hand he knew he'd have a good time but on the other he'd be alone with his crush. He knew for a fact he'd say or do something stupid in front of her.

He had offered to walk her home again and she accepted with a smile. Wedidn'tmake any pit stops this time making it to her house in about forty-five minutes. She thanked me and bid goodnight before reminding him they'd meet at 2 p.m. tomorrow.

Kasanodaawoke to his screeching alarm clock. With a heavy sigh he snoozed it. The first thing he did was shower, eat breakfast, and brush his teeth before checking the clock. It was almost noon. While getting ready he decided to keep it casual . He wore his favorite t-shirt and jeans along with tennis shoes.

He struggled onwhetheror not to bring a gift. It wasnt a date but she still deserved a gift so after a series of internal arguments with himself he gave in and spent my remaining hour and a half getting a gift . he went against getting anything too expensive and thought of what she would like.

He passed a few shops on his waytowardsHaruhi'shouse. Nothing really seemed like things she'd like. Until he a sale going on. They had cute little sushi and other food shaped flash drives for sale.

He remembered that she had needed a new one after hers had been damagedby a bully. She hadn't really gotten around to buying one.

This was perfect, he bought a sixteen gigabyte sushi flash drive. He put it in a pink wrapped box.

He had aboutforty-fiveminutes left. So he decided to make his way over to her apartments it took him about twenty minutes.

He textedHaruhiletting her know he was there. She texted that she would be down in five minutes.

About five minutes later she came down looking absolutely stunning even in a casual dress and flats. I'd seen her in girlclothesbefore and I was sure was gawking at her for afew goodminutes. She finally cleared her throat greeting me a smile.

"Hey,Kasanodaare you ready to head out? If leave a little earlythat'sfine we'll beat the lines."Haruhisaid

"Sure but there was something I wanted to give before we go."

She tilted her head to the side quizzically, her curiosity peaked. I handed her the pink box blushing rubbing the back of my neck. I waited in anticipation as she opened it. Her expression changed into multiple expressions, curiosity, confusion, and finally an amused smile

She walked up to me and pulled me into a tight embrace as she thanked me, putting it in her purse. She apologized profusely for not getting me a gift.

"Its fine, I just thought you'd like it.It's nobig dealIjustrememberedyou needed one."

With that out of they headedher favorite sushi place.

She was right about showing up early there were already lines forming, a few minutes later we would be around the corner. After waiting in line for about twenty minutes we got seated and continued our conversations.

"Thank you for agreeing to come out with me today"

"Of course ive had a good time so far and id like to do it again. This is the only time im not surrounded by girls or acting as the hosts dog. Oh im sorry their errand boy!" She said with the biggest quotation marks letting out a huff of frustration.

I could see this was a sore topic for her I reached under the table squeezing her hand gently to get out of her thoughts.

She blushed apologizing for ruining the mood.

There was something I wanted to ask her but I decided against it or else risking her feel worse.

The waitress came over apologizing for taking so long and took our order we decided to share an assorted sushi platter and had some green tea as a drink.

We changed the topic to a different subject. I asked her what she wanted to do after lunch the was still young.

"I was thinking about a movie or a walk at my local park. Which ever you'd like."

"Both sound good but a theater would attract less attention andthere'sa really good thriller out ive been dying to see what do yathink?"

"Ooh sounds fun, wanna check for the soonest showing time?"

"Sure,it's around4:30 p.m. we canmake itwith with15 minuets to spare skipping the previews. "

Just as Ifinishedmy sentence the waitress brought our food and drinks. We still carried out our conversation between bites of sushi. We pack up the last of the sushi for later.

About 30 minutes later we made it to the theater grabbing our tickets skipping the previews. We took a walk around theater. She was so close the urge to hold her hand was almost irresistible but I resisted.

Suddenly her eyes sparkled in interest at the sign on the side of a shop. It said that there was a carnival and firework show tonight starting at 6:30 p.m. "god she was so adorable." I blushed

"Do you wanna go to that event later?" I asked and somehow her lit up brighter at the idea. She nodded as a response.

Excitement still clear on her face as we took our seat to watch the movie.

The movie was so cheesy but that what we loved aboutithad everyclichéin the book. The woman went into the basement looking for the killer only killed letting out blood curdling scream. We giggled at ourselves at how cheesy it was.

Then a scene of a stormy night at the cabin came on thunder crashingacrossthe sky giving small bursts of light as the killer snuck through the house looking for the protagonist.

The sound of whimpering and someone grabbing my forearm tight caught my attention. I look atHaruhiin tears and closing her eyes as the thunder crashed on. I looked at her very concernedwonderingwhat was wrong.

"Haruhiwhats wrong? talk to me please!" I shook her slightly to make her open her tear stricken eyes.

She looked at mewithfear in her eyes. It took me too long to realize that she was afraid of the thunderstorm in the movie. I lifted her bridal style hugging her close taking her to the lobby.

She was still shaking slightly thanking me. It broke my heart to see her like this. Iwipedher tears still holding her close. She blushed looking at me with gratitude before he knew it they were closing the distance between them. Their lips met in a gentle kiss.
