Fire and Ice

France!

"We're finally going to Paris..." Tsuki was still in shock as she was seated in the airplane seat. Tsukasa booked them a first class ticket, much to Tsuki's discomfort but accepted it anyways.

Since winter time was already here, the weather was starting to grow colder. Tsuki was wearing a sky blue turtle neck sweater with a long brown checkered skirt down to her ankles and a silver winter parka.

"Tsuki, you didn't forget anything did you?" Tsukasa asked, worrying over the girl as he put their luggage in the overhead bin.

"Nope." Tsuki smiled as she buckled her seatbelt. "These seats are... really comfy."

"Here." Tsukasa chuckled, wrapping the girl in the complimentary blanket. "You woke up early so you should sleep a little..."

"But this is our first trip together!" Tsuki was excited. "I'll be helping you pick out your next living place!"

"Don't forget." Tsukasa poked his girlfriend's forehead. "You're here for the World Pastry Cup. If you win... then everything will be fine. I still have to do work in Paris you know."

The plane took off as Tsuki and Tsukasa were next to each other, Tsukasa was reading a book. Tsuki was playing games on her phone. After a while, when he felt Tsuki's head lay down on his arm, he looked to his side to see Tsuki sleeping. Tsukasa chuckled as he smiled gently to the girl finally getting some rest.

"Good night Tsuki." Tsukasa chuckled.

Tsuki felt a bright light on her eyes as she heard a familiar voice call out to her.

"Tsuki. It's time to wake up." Tsukasa's voice could be heard as Tsuki slowly opened her eyes. Tsukasa was wearing his casual clothes as he peered down to Tsuki.

"You were out like a light the entire ride to the hotel." Tsukasa chuckled. "Feeling jet lagged still?"

"Good morning Eishi..." Tsuki yawned as she stretched, realizing she was still in her casual clothes. "Ah! Why didn't you wake me up so I could change into pajamas?!" Tsuki pouted.

"Well... I gave our stuff to the concierge and I had to carry you all the way to the hotel..." Tsukasa explained as Tsuki blushed. "I tried to wake you up but you looked really tired so I let you sleep.

"Oh my god... I'm so sorry Eishi!" Tsuki bowed.

"But... we're really in Paris aren't we?"

"Yeah." Tsukasa nodded. "I made breakfast waiting for you downstairs once you get yourself ready. You promised to go finding this place with me remember?"

"Yay! Let's go then!" Tsuki said, bouncing to her feet. "I'm already in my casual clothes, so why not!"

Tsuki and Tsukasa were looking at a bunch of papers that had information on the houses Tsukasa could buy with his budget... and Tsuki clearly underestimated how rich Tsukasa was.

"What do you think Tsuki?" Tsukasa asked as the two took a break at a cafe. "There's a lot to choose from. I think I liked the 3rd place a lot, it reminded me a lot of home." Tsukasa chuckled as Tsuki was sipping her tea, not knowing what to say.

"I umm.. like the first one?" Tsuki said. "I thought it was nice to have a gas stove, rather than an electric one. All the other ones have electric stoves."

"Well.. I think the next place should have a gas stove if you want to keep looking." Tsukasa tilted his head as Tsuki nodded. "When is your tournament drawing?"

"Tomorrow afternoon." Tsuki smiled. "And sure Eishi! Let's go!"

"Here is the vacation home." the real estate worker told Tsukasa in French. "It was just recently cleared so everything is still clean. It was built fairly recently as well. If you're looking for housekeepers, this place is cleaned once a week when it's not in use."
