The limo driver and assistant sees the kiss. What else is trending down?

Enjoy.

~~~~~

The sisters were happy to see that Miku finally got her first kiss. It was a little late since they were together prior to it, but better late than never. They were all let out of the limo as (FN) opened the limo door and gave the opportunity for the girls to open their umbrellas before getting out. Miku was the last one to get out.

"Allow me." He offered his hand to her. Seeing her blush and putting her head down as she accepted. "Let's make the best of today. And glad I got to see you early. This is a first."

"Yeah. It really is. I just hope we don't get in trouble." She replied softly.

"School, father, or something else?" He asked.

"A little of everything. The guys going to say anything?"

"They asked when Ichika came in the room. It's died down since. But don't worry about me. I'll tell the guys and if they're jealous, so be it. It is what it is. I mean it. Tomorrow when we have the time we will spend time with each other and figure out how to do it. And I mean us if you're concerned. Not just problem solving homework."

"Thanks for being a great boyfriend who can talk. I'm bad at it." She leaned into this arm as they walked towards the building. 

"I'm just happy you're opened up and not distant. It's just better on my end so I can help you. If you know what I mean." He chuckled. 

"How do you do it? How do you be so clam bout it?" Asked Miku. She never could understand his pain. She doesn't remember a Dad. She remembers her mother who passed, and a man with money that they refer to as 'Father' even though they don't know the real story. (Yet, anyway)

"People treating you differently, others leaving without saying goodbye because you had no choice, and when a good mentor or two, it helps." He smiled. "This isn't one of them Miku. I'm here aren't I? Aren't I here with you and going to be bragging to the guys that there is someone great?"

"Great? I don't know..."

"A cute and beautiful that understands me? Playing the same game together a plus? Enjoying culture as boyfriend and girlfriend?" 

"Well then. That's a way to put it." That's when Miku looked up and found herself needing to close her umbrella. The two of them were close to the front door. "Can I see you before you head to the library?"

"Of course. Right here after school gets out? I'll give you a kiss and some encouragement afterwards."

This is when Miku acted. Her senses didn't hold her back. She went first and she kissed him. Miku just hugged him and stood there. It was quick and she smiled. "I can't wait to see you again."

"I'll be here. Have a good day. And never forget to dance in the rain. It's bonus points. Maybe later so we're not soaked when we go in." He chuckled. 

"Okay. Behave yourself."

"Trust me, I have to."

"I know. Getting stomped on like tree rats in the forest. I get it." Miku smiled and was off to her locker. Not liking that her boyfriend walked in the rain and is taken hostage, but happy to see him smile and his well being intact. All she had to do was get through the day and tomorrow she would have the whole afternoon with him. 

Or, so she thought...

~~~~~

A man in a suit was at his desk drinking his morning coffee as he was crunching numbers and preparing for a meeting. One he was going to lead and it was going to go on for hours. There would be a lunch break in-between the two hour blocks. As he was analyzing slides for a third time or so, someone came into the office.

"Morning Sir." Said the man. It was the limo driver and assistant.

The man glared at him. "Ebata. Report to me what happened this morning. I have an hour and a half before presentation and getting with management."

"Well Maruo, I'm positive that Eito's son and Miku are together." Reported Ebata.

"What!?"

"They picked him up while going to school in the rain. I was ordered to pull over and I did as they requested. But at one point I checked to see if they were doing okay and I saw a kiss. I'm sure its Eito's son. Could be wrong, but if I didn't have any idea I would not waste your time." Ebata was educated. He was brilliant. Being an assistant to a huge bigshot business man he had to be. 

His judgement was enough to convince Maruo. "After the second block of the meeting you're picking up the girls right? Keep watch. Report to me afterwards. Also I will be making a visit to their suite. I'm doing what I have to."

"Yes Sir. Anything else?" Asked Ebata.

"Make me another cup and grab a hot meal. Time is going slow this morning. That will be all. Today's presentation won't be a thriller by any means. But its just business." Maruo leaned back in his chair and sighed. "This is actually the most interesting part of my day. Especially since Eito had the balls to say what he said."

~~~~~

The final bell rang as (FN) was packing up his books. Although the guys got up as they had nowhere to go on the rainy day so they stayed at their desks or walked over.

"So Romeo, you meeting Pinky or what?" Said one of the guys.

"Which one?" Asked (FN).

"What? You're twining?" Gasped one of them.

"You guys saw her sister Ichika. I'm dating Miku. There is five sisters you know. I got to meet Miku at the entrance and I'll be in the library getting my assignments done probably until late."

"Why's that? Your date is here?" Asked a third student.

"She's got to go to work and my stepmother is being a bitch. To compromise, I'm here to do my thing. I got a second bento with me and when I get home to shower I will be in bed right after I call Miku."

"Damn. What happened?"

(FN) smirked. "It's a long and complicated matter. I just don't want to look at Maria the Monster or Monster Maria."

"So you're going to spend your days at the school until dark? What about things to do at home? Aren't you a gamer?"

"I can hold off. It's only two days. And I think divorce is on the horizon. We shall see." He grabbed his bag and nodded. "Wish me luck. I'm up."

"Best of the luck." The guys waved off as (FN) took his leave. Time to meet Miku at the entrance before she took off. And on the way down the hallway, picked up an extra goodie. Thank goodness for vending machines.

He got to the entrance and waited for Miku to get there. Waiting patiently and attempting to find her for the little surprise. Just a cute little antic to keep her on her toes. As (FN) walked around the many people waiting for their friends, he saw someone with pink hair and headphones. Standing there by herself. Walking up closely and putting one of those little cans from the vending machine to her cheek.

"Eep!" She squeaked feeling the cold can against her face.

"One usual. Hold the snot." He chuckled.

"Babe!" Grabbing the can and hugging him firmly.

"Thought I would say hi before you went to work. So here I am." He gave her a kiss. "So. Girls waiting up?"

"Ebata will sit there for about ten more minutes give or take. It's not just me. Don't worry." Miku cracked open the can and took a sip. "Is this the only one?"

He cracked the other one open. "Nope."

"That's good. I don't mind sharing, just didn't want you left out. That's like me going to shop stands and selling burnt shark."

"I didn't think you were the fishing type. But I've gotten a bronze quail with a throwing knife by accident and I traded it for good pick. It's better for an item because the coin ain't worth it."

Miku just thought about it. "Speaking of, I wonder when we'll be able to play again. I've been looking forward to it. It's calming. Grabbing the mic and all. Maybe on a Saturday night we could do something."

That was a solid thought. Though it all depended all on this punishment and how far it went. As (FN) went to his phone he knew there was a text or two unopened. But he got it out to look at the calendar.

Monster Maria

When will you be home?

I ain't answering that. He thought to himself as he had taken a look. Saturday would be the day after his supposed punishment. "Let's see. I would love to see if we can do a date."

"A date?" Her eyes widened. "Where?"

"Uhhh, haven't gotten that far. Sorry. Maybe you pick a place this time?" He shrugged.

This is a gamble. Asking a girl what or where she wants to eat. Even Itsuki will run into this problem occasionally. It's not like now he can take back what he said.

"I don't know." Miku shook her head.

Yup. He started it.

"Let's get through today and tomorrow and we will come up with ideas. How's that sound? I hate to be wishy-washy, but I don't want to make a promise and have it be ruined. Dinner and MMO as Valor and Raikiri sounds like unique date for me."

"I don't know? Does the order serve rabbit?" She giggled.

"You ordered the rabbit? Or shot it with an arrow?"

"Arrow. Burned it." Miku pouted with an annoyed glare.

"Yeah. I hate when that happens. But you didn't try to cook it with lightning right?" He chuckled.

"Thought about once or twice." Shrugging her shoulders and still laughing.

"So, one more kiss before I let you go?"

"Please?" She leaned over and tilted her head up for one last peck. Her face lite right up. Instead of a content look it was more happy. "I can't wait." She started to walk off and she looked back. Even her posture was cute. Her hands behind her back, her chest out, and that wide smile was nearly the world to (FN) right now. "Call me tonight after eight."

"Bye now." (FN) waved as he got a new message on his phone.

Dad
Hey Son. Please give me a call at your earliest convenience. I hope I got you in time before hitting the books. It's important.

Ahhh shit!
