Chapter 18: Braht: The Man of Love
Braht: The Man of Love

"I expect you to have plans for us tonight." Mein told Tatsumi. "They better be good too. This is our first date and I did let you go out with me so it has to be perfect."

"She sorta forced herself to date me though." Tatsumi thought, remembering back to when Scheere told him what really happened. "But I guess it could be worse. I could be stuck with Esdese if it weren't for her."

A cold shiver ran down his spine at the thought of the presidents name.

Two weeks have passed since Tatsumi started to date Mein and it hasn't been easy on them...or Esdese. Day by day, hour by hour, the feeling of the president's eyes latching onto him as he and Mein would walk to class. Things started to get even weirder and more uncomfortable as Esdese constantly attempted "heroic" actions in order to win him over; only to end up injury several students in the process.

"Seriously, why is she so latched onto me?"He thought.

"Tatsumi!" Mein raised her voice, causing him to jump. "Are you even listening to me?"

"Y-Yeah, perfect date tonight. Make plans absolute." He said quickly as he got up and ran out the door. "Don't worry, I'll make tonight the best night of your life!"

Mein folded her arms across her chest and smirked.

"To think you stole my heart. Now I need to steal yours." She thought to herself as the site of Tatsumi disappearing out the door replayed through her head.

"Alright, time to plan an amazing night with Mein for our first date!" Tatsumi proudly told himself. "Except....I don't know what to do on first dates." He sulked as he walked through the streets of the capital.

Several months have passed since his first time being in the capital. All the shops seemed like a mysterious new world, just waiting to be explored; while the streets seemed endless with all sorts of exciting distractions. But now the streets have become more familiar, simple to him. The shops he once adored had now become faded with the crowd he ignored. The streets felt small too, shorter at most. It used to take him hours to reach the next store and now it only took a few seconds.

Tatsumi continued his path down the street; hoping something would spring up like the old days and give him an idea on where to take Mein.

"Man, I'm so hopeless." He sighed.

"Tatsumi." A monotonic voice said his name.

Tatsumi turned around to see Akame, Leone and Rabac. Akame had several bags filled with meat, Rabac had "gentlemen's books, and Leone carried two bottles of her favorite sake.

"Hey guys." Tatsumi greeted. "What are you doing here?"

"We should be asking you the same thing." Leone said. "Didn't you have a date to be planning?" She smiled playfully.

"Well I uh...." Tatsumi was at a lost of words.

"Let me guess, you don't know where to take her?" Leone asked, with an upset Tatsumi slowly nodding his head.
