Chapter 11: capture the moment

[A/N: WARNING!!! Mention of harassment]

All Tomioka can do was nod, afraid that if he said something, the female in front of him will burst, and judging by her reaction, the possibility of that happening is not small.

Shinobu closed her eyes, inhaled loudly as if calming her nerves. She let out a shaky breath, "...Alright, Tamayo-san. Thank you so much!"

Tomioka is having a hard time keeping a straight face. His palms are sweating and heart beating fast. Normally, Tomioka would not care if he had offended the person he is with as the only thing wants is to make sure that the person he is talking to is getting his point. He gotta admit, thinking that he might have offended Shinobu is making him feel things he never thought he will feel again. With that in his mind, he frowned. This woman had certainly made her way through his stone-cold heart.

"Tomioka-san," she said while pocketing her phone. He could only gulp at the mention of his name. "I heard there's a carnival downtown. Let's go check it, hm?"

To say that he was surprised is an understatement. He was bewildered.

"Ara-ara, are you alright, Tomioka-san? You looked like you saw a ghost with your expression," Shinobu chuckled.

He coughed, attempting to recover from his bewilderment, "Kocho... You're not angry?"

Shinobu tilted her head in confusion, "Huh? Why would I be? When Tamayo-san told me you were my date, I instantly thought how dumbass you are. Besides, scolding you is a waste of my saliva. Not to mention you're dense," Tomioka flinched at this, "other than that, it is also kinda my fault you assumed you got stood up..." Shinobu muttered, shyly admitting her fault, "So, stop asking questions, and let's go."

"But it's already late..."

"I said let's go."

"But-"

"Tomioka-san," she smiled sweetly, deadly aura emitting from her, "if I hear you say a word again, you will wake up in a body bag."

9:15 P.M.

"This is such a pretty place," Shinobu said in awe. The place is shining from colorful lights that the stalls used to cover itself, a great contrast from the dark evening. Music can be heard from afar or feel its base as they walk closer to the heart of the carnival. The place was bustling from the happy chanting of people.

Tomioka can't help but stare at how beautiful Shinobu is as her marble-like eyes reflect the lights from the carnival.

Shinobu turned her head to her side where Tomioka is to check if he was still with her. She hasn't heard a word come out from him since they got there.

Is this man going to take every single word I say seriously?

Much to her surprise, Tomioka was staring at her.

"Is there something on my face, Tomioka-san?" She tilted her head in confusion.

Tomioka blinked, "No, your eyes are beautiful." He said nonchalantly, then started to walk.

His companion, on the other hand, was rooted in her place, face experiencing different shades of red.

What the actual fuck is he saying?

He halted his walking, turning to look at her, "Kocho, are you coming?"

It took all of Shinobu's energy to restrain herself from murdering at that time.

The nerve of this asshole!

She cleared her throat to compose herself. She hurriedly catches up on Tomioka, "So," she poked his side, "you think my eyes are beautiful, huh?" her eye twinkling with mischief.
