39 Date with Miku

The game was over and the crowd started streaming out of the arena, I strained my neck to try to spot Miku but all I saw was a sea of people. Eh, I'm going to be meeting her later anyway, doesn't matter if I don't spot her right now.

We then lined up in the center, bowed and shouted:" Thank you for the game." It looked pretty formal and I don't know why they do that here in Japan, but in my previous life we just shook hands and maybe a quick hug.

Well, I'm not gonna complain, living in this anime world has been great. The only thing that irks me is why are Japanese people so damn formal. Like we gotta bow and be extremely polite to people we just went toe to toe against. This would definitely not be happening in other countries.

Haru:" Arghhh, the game in finally over, I don't know what got into our opponents but my body is super sore right now, wanna grab a bite after this or something?"

Yuto:" Yeah sure, I'm down. You want to go get some Korean bbq, I'm feeling real hungry right now."

"Sorry guys, you can go on ahead but I got something planned after this." I said, feeling a little guilty for ditching them but I promised myself that this will be the only time where it will be hoes over bros.

"Oh did your parents come to watch the game? " Kotaro asked.

"Erm no, its just that I arranged to meet someone after this." I replied trying to avoid the topic.

"Let me guess, its a girl right. Well if it is, I'm sure you impressed her tonight with your performance." Kotaro said with a grin.

"Dude Kaen, you gotta focus on basketball man, don't let these girls distract you. And you are only 13, are you sure you wanna start dating?" Yukio started lecturing me.

"Woah, woah chill guys. I'm nowhere close to dating her, she's just a friend at the moment, don't get the wrong ideas." I said, my face blushing red.

Haru: "Yeah sure Kaen. I totally believe you. Well, good luck on your little date then."

About 15 minutes later, I stood outside the arena all feeling all freshened up after a quick shower. I then felt a poke from behind.

Turing around I saw that it was Miku, looking around shyly. "Hey, thanks for coming to support me today. It really helped."

"Don't lie to me Kaen. I doubt you could even see me in the stands." Miku replied.

"Well, you got me there. So... what you wanna do now?" I asked.

Miku: "You... didn't plan anything?"

"Erm no..." Shit did I just screw up real bad. Now what should I do, really gotta think of a idea quick.

How about walking around the park? Nah that sounds way too cliché and romantic. Gotta think of something that is fun and cool but isn't too suggestive and awkward. An amusement park or the aquarium? Wait but I think I only brought like 20 dollars today, that's like half the cost of a ticket.

Miku: "How...how about we get lunch first?"

"Oh yeah, you are a genius. How did I forget about that. Lets go get some lunch and plan at the same time. You got anything in mind?" I asked.

Miku: "Hm, since you asked me out you have to choose."

"Well, I'm simple and broke. How about we just get some MacDonalds then?" I asked.

Miku giggled cutely and agreed.

We then went to the nearest Macs which was only about a 5 minutes walk away from the arena, after taking a while to find free seats, we then put down our stuff and went to order our food. After ordering, I was about to head back to my seat and I felt someone call my name. Turning around, I saw the guys ordering as well.

Why the hell are they here. What happened to the Korean bbq that they were talking about. This is bad, can't let them see Miku or I'm never gonna hear the end of it.

"Sup Kaen, didn't expect to meet you here. Where's your girl, can you introduce her to us?" Kotaro said with a smile.

Ignore them, pretend I heard nothing and saw nothing. I then sat back at my seat where Miku was waiting for me for her food.

"Here's your fillet o fish burger." I said as I passed the burger to her.

"Hey Kaen, aren't those your teammates sitting over there. How did you not notice them?"

"Nope they aren't. They are probably some random school who copied our jackets. I don't know why they look a lot like my teammates though." I said, trying to ignore them.

What was worse is that another group just finished their meal and left. The guys then sat at that table which was facing us.

Miku: " Kaen, are sure they are not your teammates, cause why are they pointing at us and giving us a thumbs up sign."

"Just ignore them." I said, burying my head into the table.

"Well, they are taking pictures of us right now. I'm convinced that they are your teammates. But what are you so embarrassed about? Aren't we just two friends enjoying a quick meal together?"Miku said.

Friends huh. Yeah we aren't dating but it kinda hurts to hurt her say that.

"Well, lets just quickly eat our food. I've had enough of public places, wanna come over to my place then. We can play some ps5, I just bought NBA 2k21, I could teach you?" I asked.

"Sure, lets quickly get this over with then."

We then woofed down our food and quickly made our way out of there. After that it was a pretty uneventful, we just went to my house and played video games. I guess the only thing else was that both my parents weren't home. This was both good and bad news to me, if I brought a girl home in front of my parents, they were going to interrogate. The bad news was that it was slightly awkward when Miku realised that there was no one else home.

Apart from that we enjoyed ourselves and Miku caught on to 2k pretty quicky. The hours went by pretty quickly and I had to have Miku leave by 6 before my parents came home putting an end to this eventful day.

Relax guys, this ain't going to be a harem. I don't know about you but I kinda hate harems, way too unrealistic unless you are a mega chad.

IF I decide to include romance, IF, it will be done in a pretty interesting way.

Power stone or grave stone.
