"Sweet?" I asked, still worried.

"Neku... This is one of those things you don't ask, you just agree," I laugh before looking off to the side. "... Do you wanna know why I asked you here, cheri?"

I nodded.
"Of course I do. It sounded urgent. Are you sure there's nothing wrong?"
That protective, possessive streak again. It had always been there, but now... it was stronger than ever.
This was my girl. I had fought for her, and won her. She was her own person, but I protected her; she was mine, and no one else's but her own.

My cheeks suddenly feel hot and I bit my lip, "Um... Well... I sorta had a question for you." My eyes slip back to Kenji, nerves working themselves before I look back to Neku. "But you'll think its stupid, I'm sure... I do, sorta."

"What is it?" I asked. "What kind of question? I won't laugh, I promise."

"um... well, ya know... How you said you loved me?" I look to my feet and flush darker. ''... And stuff... I was just wondering... are you
nervous to ask me out?"
I pause before rushing, "CauseIcanaskyouifyouwantmetoo!"

I blinked. I mean...
What?
Okay, yeah, I had been nervous to ask her out, but only because I was sure she'd slap me silly if I had.
"You... actually want to go out with me...? I thought... you were upset at me... for saying those things... so I stopped... saying them..."

"..."
What the hell is wrong with him?
"Neku... I... I... You're a moron, cheri."

I closed my eyes, took a deep breath. If I couldn't do this...
I looked up. "...I guess I am," I said to her, then smiled, a little crookedly. "So, then. If we're gonna go out, where are we going?" I reached out and took her hand. I guess it just felt like the thing I was supposed to do, but it was kinda nice, not to have to worry about it. For the first time since that encounter at the Masquerade, I felt... at ease.

"Oh... I... Was thinking someplace simple... But first we gotta picnic with Kenji," I give his hand a squeeze. "Come on, Love."

"Love, huh?" I couldn't help but smile, teasing her just a little. Hesitant, just in case I might scare her off or put her on her guard again. "Alright. But only if you count this as date number 1."

Then Kenji yells. "Did someone say date, and picnic!? I GOT THE BOOZE! Let it begin!" He's obviously excited that they are finally done. "Honestly, how long does it take to ask for a date?"

"Deal... Besides... We don't need a proper coffee date," I then lead him over to Kenji. "Mind if we join you, ma amie?"

"Booze?" I asked, a little taken back. "You do realize I'm not old enough to drink, right? Even in this city?" One eyebrow snapped almost up to my hairline.

"Well, I did bring this for a reason you know?" He reaches into the basket and pulls out an old, vintage wine. "This is the good stuff, Sweet, but with a good kick to it." He pulls out two glasses for them and pops open the wine. Then he pours it into the glasses and holds his hands out for them. "It's a special occasion. Besides, drinking a little every once in a while won't necessarily hurt. I'll take full responsibility and make sure that everyone is safe and sound. Sound fair?"
