☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

After the meeting, you returned back to kajis place. He'd given you to keys to his place Whilst he was at school. It was the safest place to be right now.

And you had to prepare. Prepare for what you may ask.. heading to a nightclub, with your beloved Ren. Yeah it was a mission, but surely this had to count as a date in the slightest of sense. The mental preparation was going to be immense.

In the back of your mind, you really wished this wasn't a mission. That ren really wanted wanted to spend time with you. You were determined to make to make the most of it. And you really hoped Hook wouldn't show up and ruin it.

Anyways, back to the other task at hand which was finding something to wear. This well.. was taking longer than you expected. Flinging the clothes about, your dazzling dresses flew with colour - right over your head. As beautiful and pricy they were, it felt like you couldn't find the right one.

What would match Kaji’s quiet charm? What would complement that earthy, understated handsomeness he wore so effortlessly? His face kept appearing in your mind, distracting you, and you found yourself fussing more. You had even roped Kusumi into hauling half your closet over. And now? Now you had a mess —a clean bed scattered with the remains of your little fashion tantrum.

Finally, after rolling around on his bed a bit (just to get it out of your system) and sipping iced tea to cool down, you narrowed it down to three choices: a red floral dress, a pale orange one from your first encounter with him, and a white dress with cute swirling patterns.

What would he like. You had to get it correct.

You imagined his light brown eyes looking at you, sparkling in the disco lights above, the thumping of the music only second to the music between your hearts..
He would say how beautiful you look. He would take you by surprise and and.. an.. what would you even say? Or would you just be blushed enough to let that convey your feelings.

"Aauaggg! Auauahah!" You scream into Kaji's pillow, inhaling it all at once, squeezing it tight between your arms. Then you came to your senses finally...

And punched the pillow a few times. How dare Kaji distract you that much. The fantasies in your head all looked equally romantic, but Kaji's amazingness was making this rather difficult. At this rate, you'd get nothing done.

"Enough of that!" you storm into the living room and collapse into the sofa for a breath of fresh air.

you'd make a final choice later.

Looking out from Kaji’s high-rise window, you could see the town below, the outline of Furin’s school barely visible. The others were probably preparing in their own ways for tonight, but here you were, fussing over an outfit.

Just then your phone rang. You glanced down, startled to see Kaji's name. Kaji was calling.. this would be the first time hearing his voice over the phone. Your heart skipped. You took a deep breath and swiped to answer -fingers trembling a bit.

"Hello he says."

"Ah R-Ren? Why'd u call?"

"It's bout later, so I'll only be back late, so I'm thinkin that I'll head directly to the place and.. I'll get Kusumi to bring ya over."

"S-sure. That's not an issue." You feel red, stuttering your words. His voice was so soothing, the way he slanged his words, and the way he ended with a low level grunt at each word.

The truth was that Kaji wanted to wear something nice, but couldn't find anything to match your level, so wanted to go clothes shopping after school. Obviously you had no idea.

"I'm glad.. y-your sending Kusumi with me."

No that's not what you wanted to say. You try again, feeling heat welling in your cheeks.  "I'm more glad that.. I'll see you there." You said it. Half assed; the grammar seemingly lost when speaking though your heart.

"..."

A delay. You hear him breathing though.

"Ren?" You bravely ask, genuinely worried.

“Ah... I just thought… I’m happy you’re coming.” His voice, softer and more vulnerable than usual.

You bit your lip, feeling your face red up like a ripe tomato, hand hovering over your mouth to quiet the hitch in your breath. It probably didn't help, your heart felt louder, knocking at the cage of your quivering chest craving for attention. It wanted to jump out to Kaji Ren and give its self away.

Silence stretched, thick and awkward, filled with shared gentle breaths and half-formed words that never quite made it out. Finally, he broke the quiet. “Anyway… bring some lollipops. There’s, uh, a stash under my bed. I’m runnin low.”

You stifled a laugh, disguising it with a sigh. Of course -lolipops. Only Ren would think of lollipops in a moment like this.

“Thanks again. Bye.” He ended the call softly, and you held your phone close to your chest, letting every word of his sink in, the whispers of his voice disappearing away to the stillness of the room. Love..

You really did love him. Tonight was gonna be a great night. You could hardly wait.

Author note:

I would've made this longer but it seems this was the best way to end this chapter. What does Ren think of you? Next chapter will be long trust, and fiery too. Action? Yeah you'll get that action and lots more.
I can't wait to write it.

Happy birthday Ren <3

(I watched Alien Stage and uh.. I don't think I'm gonna be mentally ok -watch it plz and share the sorrow. IVANTILL <3)
