Welcome to Gaia! ::

Victory was so close, Shun could barely contain his laughter behind tightly drawn lips. Mitsu figured a few more pokes and he would crack and tell her want she wanted to know so she would stop. He didn't like being tickled after all.

Her fingers were on a path to find a new spot, wiggling to keep up with his squirming motion when he caught her off guard. She expected him to retreat but instead he nearly lunged at her planting a rather firm kiss against her mouth. Eyes going wide Mitsu's hands froze. This was so unfair. She couldn't fight against this. Her fingers even twitched idly like she wanted to force herself to continue but it was no use, Shun had rendered her useless.

As the kiss lingered and went from being stiff to something softer Mitsu found herself closing her eyes and just enjoying it. There was no way she could fight it. She had no idea how long the kiss lasted but apparently it was long enough. By the time Shun pulled away the train came to a stop and the announcer came over the ickycom to tell them their location.

Huffing slightly Mitsu rose from her seat and followed Shun off the train. Tickling attempted had failed. What else could she do? They weren't far from the school now so likely they would arrive before she could manage to guess if Shun would even tell her if she guessed correctly. All she could do now was wait really.

Well it seemed Shun had won. They made it back to the dorms in silence and Mitsu waited behind him ready to go inside when he paused and turned toward her. Stay out here? So she had to wait a little longer then. Well, it probably wouldn't be long now.

'Alright.' She signed out, wondering how long a few minutes would be. Sitting down on the floor in this dress was far from being a possibility but Mitsu was sure to go ahead and slip out of her shoes. She was tired of wearing them and it was nice to feel the floor against her bare feet again.

Being left out in the hall on her own Mitsu wasn't sure what to do. At first she began to fiddle with her CD taking the cover out of the case so that she could read some of the content about the songs. She quickly became distracted though when the smell of meat wafted from Shun's room. Replacing the pamphlet back inside the CD case Mitsu adventured closer to Shun's door, pressing her hands against it and her nose close to the edge so that she could sniff. It smelled so good, what was it?

She continued what she was doing until the door suddenly opened making her nearly topple inside. Straightening herself out she peeked around Shun before quickly grabbing up her shoes and going inside. Food was one thing to expect but Shun had gone the extra length to set up a sort of romantic dinner atmosphere with the table and candle. Her eyes drifted over the setting, dropping her shoes by the door without a care.

"You...did all this for me?" Her eyes drifted to the food, the steak of course holding most of her attention. Smiling she turned to Shun looking rather excited. "This is so amazing. Did you really do all this on your own?" Something told her he had help. This was above and beyond a normal date not that they had really had any bad dates just none this elaborate with such thought behind it.

Mitsu was rather confused how Shun could ask if this was sufficient. How could it not be? "This is more than I could have ever expected." She started, taking a seat in the chair as Shun had a seat on the bed.

"First you took me to a huge orchestra concert and then you didn't buy me dinner but you took the time to make it yourself. That takes a lot more care and thought." Though Mitsu was rather curious about what Shun meant by 'research.' She knew it didn't involve reading of any sort so....

"So what kind of research did you do to find out all of this?" She eyed her steak while she waited for an answer. Luckily there was no knife present and Shun had taken the time to cut up the meat for her. It was so thoughtful! She was sure it wasn't very lady-like to just chew on a huge piece of meat. If only the vegetables weren't there ruining the picture perfect image of her rare slab of beef.

Mitsu paused at that trying to picture Shun sitting by his laptop watching romantic movies or tv shows to collect knowledge to make up this date. It was a little mind breaking and she wanted to ask what he had managed to find but perhaps she could find out later. For now she focused on the meal picking up her fork and trying to decide which piece of meat to try out first. The soup looked good but she was most excited about the rare chunks of steak on her plate.

"I'm sure I will it looks so good." She finally selected a piece and plucked it up with her fork and wasted no placing it in her mouth. It was easy to see how pleased she was, her mouth drawing into a smile as she savored every bite. 'Very good.' She signed, unwilling to open her mouth to speak.

As much as she wanted to keep her pace slow and savor her steak Mitsu couldn't help but stuff her mouth full. It only took moments before most of her steak was gone and she forced herself to stop and focus on her soup instead. Lifting the bowl she realized quickly the soup was hot, scolding her tongue slightly on her first sip.

Making a face at the small discomfort she blew on her soup after to help it cool before she tried again finding the temperature a little easier to manage. It allowed her to slow down again and she took her time finishing off the small bowl before setting it aside. The vegetables were still untouched and would likely remain that way unless Shun said something.

"D-dessert?" Mitsu stammered in surprise, looking down at her plate and poking a random vegetable. "What kind of dessert?" She picked up one of the very few remaining pieces of meat. Dessert was a good motivator to make her finish her meal but she wanted to know what it was first.
