Momoshiro Takeshi//The key to my lock\\19

Recap: "You wanna... wanna... gooouutwiimi?"

...............................................

I heard him properly, but just for fun...

"Huh? Couldn't hear you properly. Come again?"

Momo went another hundred shades of red.

"Want... want... wanna... wanna... gooo... wanna go out with...me?" He took a deep breath and force it out.

My heart went on another speed-drive at 987654321 beats/min.

"So... do I say yes?"

"Eh? Uh... uh... It's up to you... I guess?" He answered dejectedly.

I stood up and kissed his cheek lightly.

"Yes of course, dummy."

"YO-" I cut him off my putting my hand over his mouth.

"Quiet you baka. You don't wanna wake up the entire house, do you?"

"Uh... Maybe not..." He smiled sheepishly.

"Right then." I relaxed my hand. "When?"

"Saturday. Won't tell ya where we're going though." He winked and smiled mysteriously at me.

"Ooh mystery. I love suspense." I returned the wink and brushed my fingers on his cheek. He took them and planted a kiss on my hand.

"Goodnight then." He smiled.

"Night."

I can't wait for Saturday.

Next day. More swimming, tennis, glomping and piggyback-ing from Eiji. I'd even tried out my first Inui juice. Didn't taste as bad as it sounds. Hm. Fuji found a friend. Everyone else went out cold except for us two.

"You like them too?" He smiled at me.

"Not too bad. Could use some sugar though."

"Saa~ It always does." He nodded. Some guy. He never seems to be NOT smiling.

The next few days to Saturday seemed to drag on like forever. I can swear that my back is much stronger, like Eiji rides on it everyday.

Finally. Saturday morning. I'd decided to go for my morning exercise earlier, and then go back to sleep after that.

"Morning sleepy." A soft, soothing voice woke me up. A warm habd rested on my face and a thumb stroked my cheek gently.

"So early. Who's it?" I yawned, and turned my body around so I was on my side.

"You haven't forgotten, have you." That hand moved up to my hair and stroked it gently.

"Alright I'm up. Who's it who are you." I sat up, yawned, stretched, and squinted. "Oh. Oh-ohayo Momo." I stiffled a yawn. "Watcha doing in my, uh, room.

"You haven't forgotten, have you?" Momo took my hand.

"Huh?" Mornings usually made me very blur. It usually takes some time for information to sink into my head. "Oh. Oh yes. Give me a second, I'll get ready." I chased him out of my room. I quickly brushed my teeth and changed into a grey hoodie over a slim denim jean, and went down, still yawning.

"Finally." Momo smiled.

"Oh. Sorry did I take that long? I'm not really a morning person."

"It's okay. Come on, let's go." We went outside and he took my hand and pulled me along with him. I wondered where were we going.

"You hungry?" He suddenly stopped outside a cafe.

"Yeah." I guess I was, I haven't had breakfast yet. So, we went in.

Momo ordered almost the entire menu- waffles, sandwiches, cakes etc. Well, I should have known him long enough to know already. I chose a random number and counted it off from the menu to get the food I wanted. Strawberry shortcake. YUMMY.

Hm. There're some crumbs on his lips. I wiped it away with my thumb, like I did the last time, trailing along the sides of his lips, following it as it turned up into a smile. Momo took my hand and leaned in towards me. He kissed me lightly on my cheek.

"Come with me." He stood up.
