-AUTHOR's POV-

At the city, we then see Kendo and (YN) both walking down as they pass by stores. They have been exploring around the stores for lately, and soon to head over to the mall and walk around for a bit...

Kendo: I've notice they put up new stores in here.

(YN): Meh, never been here before so I can't tell.

Kendo: You haven't been here before?? So why brought me here then?

(YN): Is that a problem?

Kendo: Oh no. I'm not saying it is. I was curious on why bring me here if you don't know the place? But it doesn't really matter, really. Don't know why I even-

(YN): To hang out of course.

Kendo: ....

(YN): I mean, I only know about this store cause you seem the type of chick to like a place like this. Explore and stuff, so I thought brining you here would be fun.

Kendo slowly fluster the fact (YN) wanted to hang out with her and can tell by his look. She then gave a smug look and walks up to him...

Kendo: You know, for a tough guy like you, you're all sweet and kind after all.

(YN): *looks away* Shut up.

Kendo: *giggles* It's alright. Anyways, how about a snack? We have been walking around for a minute.

(YN): Sure, why not. You choose.

Kendo: Cool. How about a slushie?

(YN): Sounds nice. I'll wait for you at the table there.

Kendo: Okay.

Kendo heads over to the small candy spot as (YN) goes and sits on a table for them to sit. As Kendo orders mochi and to pay it off. She awaits for their slushies to be ready. Once they were ready, she grabs them and to head over to the table...
.

Until, she spots two random girls that appear out of nowhere, talking with (YN).

Girl #1: Hey there. Whats a guy like you doing here?

(YN): Minding my business.

Girl #2: Seems like it. But to be fair here, you seem like a handsome guy.

(YN): Thanks for the compliment, I guess.

Girl #2: Why not you come with us? Seem pretty bored being alone here, don't ya think?

As the girls kept trying to get at (YN), Kendo wasn't liking it much. As she gave off this pout look and marches her way over. As she arrive, the girls notice Kendo arriving, and to straight up sit close next to (YN), and placing both of their slushees on the table and kept glaring at them...

Girl #1: O-Oh. You're with her??

Girl #2: Sorry, we didn't know. We uh, we'll make our way.

The two girls power walk their way out...

(YN): Oof, thank god you came by, they were starting to annoy me.

Kendo: What were they saying to you?

(YN) Meh, nothing much.

Kendo: Nothing much huh? Seems like they were enjoying talking to you.

(YN): ...I wouldn't say it like that, more like trying to bump into my business.

Kendo: Whatever you say. Here's your slushy, and you're welcome.

Kendo hands (YN) his slushie as she again gave a pout look and to not look at (YN) and to drink her slushy. (YN) began to notice of how Kendo is acting weird, and literally clicks him.

(YN): ...Are you jealous?

Kendo: M-Me??! N-No! What makes you say that??

(YN): Oh, I don't know, the way you're talking, the way you're not even looking at me at all. And, not to mention you even glare at the girls when you arrive.

Kendo: ...They were being too friendly with you.

(YN): So you are jealous.

Kendo: ...A little. Why? Does that bother you too?

(YN): ...Kendo.

Kendo was surprise to hear (YN) calling her name the first time ever, as she turns and looks at (YN) and he says...

(YN): You shouldn't be worrying about it at all. It's not like I was trying to hit at them. Besides, I have a girl to talk to already.

Kendo: Another girl???

(YN): Well, I wouldn't say it like that but not really.

Kendo: Uh huh, and who's this other "girl" you talk???

(YN): I mean....I'm looking at her, ain't I? *sips slushy*

Kendo stood dead quiet after, as her face began to turn all red and trying to hide it but couldn't as she looks away with a shy look...

Kendo: ...Dummy.

(YN): Hehe.

.
.

.

Later after finishing their slushies, Kendo and (YN) continue walking around the mall as they both stopped by at a shop. They both entered and to look around for some clothes.

Kendo: Hope you don't mind if we stop by here for a bit?

(YN): Nah, not at all. Take your time.

Kendo: Thanks, just wanna see what they got new here.

(YN): Go crazy then, I'll look around. Wont go too far.

Kendo: Okay.

As Kendo looks around, (YN) walks the other way to look around as well. As he does, he began to thought about earlier ago of how Kendo was a little jealous over the fact some girls came up to him, which already tells him that Kendo likes him.

(YN): Heh, that girl is something.

Suddenly, he hears...

Boy #2: Hey there, what's a cute girl doing here?

Boy #1: Yeah, need help with anything around here?

He turns around and notices two boys trying to get at Kendo...

Kendo: O-Oh. I'm okay, just looking around, really thank you.

Boy #2: Oh just looking around? I see that, but hey, how about you come with us after? We can take you out somewhere nice.

Kendo: O-Oh. No thank you I'm actually with-

Boy #1: No need to rush, we can wait for you.

Kendo: U-Um...

(YN) already knew Kendo was feeling uncomfortable, so he quickly makes a move. As he arrive to Kendo, the boys notice him...

Boy #1: Yo, can I help you?

Boy #2: We're talking over here. If you don't mind?

(YN) kept quiet still, glaring at the boys as he got close to Kendo, and wrapping his arm around her as Kendo flusters and didn't expected (YN) to do so...

(YN): She's with me, got a problem?

Boy #1: O-Oh shit. We didn't knew!

Boy #2: We're sorry man! We'll make our way.

The boys walked away and to leave the store...

(YN): Jackasses. Anyways, you done over here? I think it's best we dip.

Kendo: U-Um. Sure.

(YN): Good, come on.

(YN) takes his arm off from Kendo. Until...

Kendo: Wait.

(YN): What?

Kendo: ...Thank you.

(YN): Oh. You're welcome. Just helping, that's all.

Kendo: I know.

Suddenly...Kendo walks up to (YN), grabs his hand, and to place it around her again...

Kendo: Shall we?

(YN): Heh, alright. Let's go.
