The date

14th June

You blinked and blinked again it had been barely a week since school started and you were already tired. You had a date with Hikaru this evening but before that, you decided that you need to blow off some steam with your best friend hence this bake date.

11:32 am

Was the clock messing with you? You had your eye on it for how long yet the time didn't move as fast as you would like it to.

11: 33 am

Maybe you could clean the kitchen up the 10th time you glanced over your platform to see if nothing needed to be done. You glanced up again as you thought time surely passed.

11:34 am

You were wrong.  You flopped down the couch and thought maybe you could play your favourite game a pretend the clock doesn't exist cause when you get into that game time doesn't exist.

You started to play after winning the level you glanced over again

11:39 am

This was absurd how could time move - -

Ding doing.

You prayed to the lord above for answering your prayers and rushed forward to open the door.

Opening the door you wondered why two suns were out today.

Nope it was just Lily

"someone's early "You gave her a big hug nearly toppling both of you down.

" not too early I hope. I was just so excited " the younger girl panicked.

"it's alright I was just playing games " and then staring at the clock every few seconds you thought to yourself "Come in" 

You both walked towards the kitchen only to see Kyo standing on top of all your arranged boxes one wrong move every single crockery inside would fall.

"kyo do not jump " You moved cautiously towards your cat. But your cat paid you no heed he stood there licking his paw.

"meow.?"

"Kyo do you want fish.? If yes plz don't move I will bring you your favourite. " you thought a gentle approach this time might do something. 

And it did the cat stopped licking and looked at its master with eyes saying 'Gimme food'.

"meow meow "  the cat happily jumped towards you.

"kyo " you caught your cat and closed your eyes waiting for your precious glassware to break. But there was no noise. You opened your eyes to see Lily holding the boxes in her hands. That made you sigh with solace

"bad kyo no fish for you" you scolded your feline.

"meow meow" It started to lick you and gave you eyes famously known as puppy dog eyes

" aish you are a kitten for goodness sake" You shielded your eyes from the shine of puppy dog eyes but you succumbed to it. Giving Kyo some fish you left him by the living room window sill.

"I have brought some ingredients we could use " she raised the grocery bag she was carrying.

You had already set all the other ingredients in a safe place hopefully your cat wouldn't get there.

The plan was to make a one-tiered cake with strawberries in between and a few layers of raspberry and vanilla to give it a good contrast.

After spending time cleaning up. Since your first attempt failed you two began to work again.  You decided to use your decorations skill, at last, to make it look amazing.

Lily on the other hand used a wild card. She chopped up butter in a way and added chunks of butter to the pan.

You then noticed she added food colour.

"amazing. We just need a little more food colour to make it red" you said as you happily looked at the colour of the batter

"I never added food colour " the girl blurted out in a scared tone.

Your eyes widened as you looked at Kyo playing with your acrylic paints. He sat right on the shelf above the batter.

"Kyo not again" you shrieked as you ran after your naughty kitten.

Well, the third time is the charm right.? This time you and Lily swore you will be as vigilant as possible you looked across at your kitten who had been given at least all the shiny things available at your house for entertainment.

It took you a while before you guys were done with the batter and put your cake in the oven. Music started to play as you both began to dance a lot of time passed by.

"how long did you set the timer for Lily," you asked your friend as you continued to move your piece in ludo.

The girl looked at you with a confused expression " I thought you set the timer"

Realizing what it meant you both ran towards the kitchen to only watch as the oven blew up and smoke rose through the chimney

"What did you put in the batter lily," you asked looking at the disaster.

"it was not me" the brunette pointed at your feline who was holding cinnamon in its mouth. Cinnamon gets into contact with air and ignites perfectly for the explosion, especially if it was in a freaking oven.

" KYO"  you shouted for god knows how many times today.

This marked the end of your bake date as you both decided cleaning up this mess might be a better solution. It was not what you planned but you both had a lot of fun today. Glancing up at your clock you saw it half past three. Lily was running late as she had her part-time job she bid you goodbye and left.

After Lily was gone you guessed you should get ready for your date with Hikaru only wondering what surprises did the male have in store for you. Cleaning up yourself you sat down on your bed there was still time for the male to arrive unless he came before the appointed time.

You opened up your laptop and started looking through your emails scrolling past all the spam and trash mail finally stopping at one addressed to you by one of your younger cousins who was a cyber detective.  You rolled your eyes at the first few sentences of the mail.

Dear asuna,

I know you are dumb but sometimes your brain works faster than mine does.

I found a certain sheet with a lot of scribbled words that make no sense. This list was on the computer of one of the missing victims it was quite hard to break into that computer they used Setsuko tech. But I finally found it. If you make sense of it inform me back soon.

Your beloved cousin Kiyoshi

You sighed looking at the paper it was handwritten and a picture had been taken of it. It was rushed and scrambled around you thought it was an anagram of something.  Before you could divulge it more your doorbell rang indicating the arrival of the blond-haired male.

"well aren't you late-"

A big bouquet was almost shoved into your face you took the flowers of the male and it pleasantly surprised you that he knew your favourite flowers.

"How did you know it this time," you asked the male in suspicion believing all the shivering feeling you must have might have been because the blonde was stalking you.

The boy smiled in mischief " Well I saw your notebook you always keep scribbling on in school "

You facepalmed at your own mistake internally scolding yourself for your stupidity. You beckoned the male out as you carefully turned to lock the house. You then felt the blond creeping up on you. Turned around to see him holding a velvet blindfold.

"I agreed to a date, not that " you pointed at the foreign cloth.

"come on fairy,  this once " the blonde pleaded.

You raised an eyebrow" I thought you liked naming me baked goods."

" well I am just experimenting for now it is not permanent"Hikaru smiled as he put out his hands to tie the blindfolds.

You stopped him looking straight into his sea-green irises. " good because I don't like it. Also if we are going it's my way I promise to keep my eyes closed but not blindfolds."

The male frowned at your sentence his clear eyes hazed for a second before he gave you his shining smile again leading you towards his bike.

The female sees a sleek, black motorcycle parked on the street. You can't help but stare at it, admiring the way the sunlight glints off the chrome handlebars. As you walk closer, you notice the intricate details etched into the leather seat, and the powerful engine rumbling softly beneath the frame. You think to yourself that this bike is not for the faint of heart, and you can only imagine the thrill of riding it at top speed down a deserted highway.

"here " Hikaru threw you a helmet. Putting it on you closed your eyes. Sat up on the bike without further ado the blonde started the engine heading towards your mysterious destination.

You can't trust the blonde male so you kept your cool so as not to panic you began humming whatever song came to your mind. But you couldn't get out of this nagging feeling that someone was following you.

Finally, after what felt like hrs, you reached the bike halt and Hikaru helped you down.

The female steps off the bike and onto the warm sand of the beach. The sun is just starting to set, casting a golden light over the waves as they lap gently at the shore. The water is a deep shade of blue, and the air is filled with the salty tang of the sea. She can see a few people scattered along the beach, some playing frisbee, others lounging on towels. In the distance, you can just make out the outline of a lighthouse, its beacon flashing against the darkening sky.

"ready.?" the blonde asked

He moved towards you decreasing the distance swiftly and carrying you like a princess. He kept bouncing you around it made you giggle a bit. Reaching to your picnic spot he let you down. The food basket was kept neatly on the mat and a few vanilla essence candles lay around that made were pleasantly aiding the sea breeze.

You sat next to him maintaining some distance between you both. But the male just frowned at your antics. He attempted to close the distance but you just shrugged him off. Hikaru was in confusion as to why you always rejected his advances. He began to glare and started to think of ways he could close the gap within you.

He opened the basket and showed her all sorts of baked goods he had prepared.

You looked at the delicious goods and remembered back to the afternoon when you and Lily couldn't even make a single one.

"don't you like sweets?"Hikaru asked

" I do but I prefer spicy" you shrugged.

The blonde began to become frustrated his hands digging in the sand. He looked at the girl beside him with an ambitious stance he sure was gonna get the girl on his side. He didn't like being rejected.

"You like acting don't you.?" you questioned the male.

The male nodded happily smiling genuinely

" how about you impersonate Akira for me then maybe I will think about eating the sweets."

" Akira ofc that's an easy one "

The male impersonation was quite adept his acting made you believe that Akira was there not Hikaru.

" I knew you were perfect for this." you chuckled.

"You know" he laughed " I was restless last night as I had no idea how to please you today you seem to reject my physical advances but you seem so happy right now. So should I do this-"

He pinned your hands above your head. He caressed your hair as his hand slid below. Looking deep into the eyes of the female he leaned in. Your face flamed up. You narrowed your eyes and kicked his legs making him his balance.  He began to laugh at your reaction 

"pfft haha haha you thought I was gonna force myself on you " he began to lick his lips when he realized the girl's horrified look.

He gripped your wrists tighter after convincing himself this was the best way for you to return his feelings you cried out in pain and this time kicked him in his stomach and finally freeing yourself from the male.

He looked up at the female thinking she might be terrified by this but he was met with a look that certainly didn't look like fear instead it was pity. You Pitied him.

" why why why why are you looking at me like that?  You bitch. " he screamed

"Why thank you.  But I prefer cats " you said thinking fondly of your cat.
