"Start of Golden Week. Izanai Park. 8:00 a.m. Do not be late, or I will kill you go home."

6:00 AM.... He glanced to the clock and back to the paper tucking it in his pocket. He turned back to Jameson. "Yeah.. I'll go out and take the case." He said grabbing his coat and motorcycle helmet..

~~~

ONE YEAR EARLIER

"Valentines.." Oliver said with a small smile as he wandered to the bench and leaned back against a nearby lamp holding a bag of chocolates. He was dressed in a cool but casual outfit. Everything had been tense lately, dumping Setsuna for Quinn and the awkwardness following but this made it all worthwhile.. He was in love. Him. Of all people.. He was..

He grinned awkwardly. Man, where was she?!

~

Oliver leaned back on the bench staring up at the sky. The sun was high over head. He understood her not showing up early like he did but late..? Was she okay? Was she hurt? He typed in another message into his phone, staring down at it before deleting it.

'Just be patient..'

He'd always been so cool about dating. From an early age he was around older women and part of his work was charming ladies. Often cover identities had him pretending to be an older man and as he became a teenager flirting and casual relationships often even of a physical nature were handled cavalierly. He'd never fallen in love and instead saw relationships with women as something more simple. That dating was an unnecessary complication. Nice.. but messy. With his lifestyle there was no place for it.

He could never maintain a relationship when he had to travel all over the world or live a lie. That's why when he wound up in Hyakuji and was freed from that lifestyle he realized that for the first time dating was a real option. He wasn't a spy anymore. And he allowed himself to get roped in. Quinn was.. nice.. she was kind. She made Oliver forget his bloody past.. He.. he loved her. Being around her. The effect she had on him.

That's what he wanted to tell her..

So... where was she?

~

The sun was sinking down into the horizon. His eyes were cold and distant as he watched the sky turn pale orange. People around him were whispering but he didn't care. He stared down at the chocolates with a sigh as he closed his eyes. Buying them had been so embarrassing. He'd grinned like such an idiot. And now here he was, waiting.. Waiting..

Just like an idiot he was waiting when he knew she wouldn't come. He'd allowed himself to get suckered into this stupid song and dance and now here he was getting played like all the saps he'd laughed at before. How amazing.. He really had to thank Quinn for hammering the point home so thoroughly. She really had made a fool of him.

He stood up, walking to the trashed and tossed them in before laughing dryly. "Man.. what an idiot.." He said before his laugh faded. "I really am.. an idiot.."

~~~

He sighed glancing to his watch.. 7:30.... He didn't want to go. He wanted to not show up. He wanted to let her realize he wasn't coming.. She said she'd leave, so it wasn't the same as back then, right?

But all Oliver could think about was.. what if she stayed..?

He hesitated, minutes passed.. 7:45.. She'd surely arrive soon... Then she'd leave just like that. No pain.. But.. What if she stayed..?

"Are you paying attention?" A man suddenly said.

Oliver glanced to him and sighed. "I'm sorry.." He said looking to the man.

"It's ifne let's continue."

"No.. I.. I'm sorry. I'll make sure Jameson comes. I.. I need to go.." He said before rushing out to his bike. Dammit! He wouldn't make someone experience what he did! Even if it wasn't the same he wouldn't be scum like that!

The girl couldn't believe she's doing this. Part of her was wondering which part of her brain had been so notoriously broken to the point where she actually decided to agree with him. The decision to come here had been against her free will, the reason she was standing there under the cloudy morning sky at the park in a yukata was a reason she loathed herself for using. The girl only came here to fulfill her promise. No one forced her to come. She came here without being told. She could have... not come at all. Or even if she did come, if he didn't arrive she could just leave. No reason for her to stand around waiting if he's not gonna come.

Yeah. She's here... and if he didn't come, she could just leave. The girl had made a mental note. 8:00 a.m. sharp. If he didn't come, she will leave. Not a single minute, not a single second will be wasted. The girl glanced at a clock somewhere nearby... 7:59:53 a.m... 7:59:56 a.m... 7:59:59 a.m...

8:00 a.m.

...

WELL. THAT WAS IT. She kept her promise. He didn't. She had done her part, he didn't. She can leave, and he does not have any rights to say anything against that! Yep!

...

The girl glanced at the clock again.

8:01 a.m.

...

She glanced at the clock again.

8:05 a.m.

...

Why is she still waiting for him to come...?

Oliver checked his watch as he stopped the bike and turned off the engine. He threw his helmet under the seat and grabbed his trilby hat. 8: 06.. Damn. Late. Maybe she'd already left. She'd definitely already left... But.. just in case he needed to get there fast. If she'd been waiting five minutes already.. He could only imagine the hell she'd give him for it when he did make it to her.

Oliver rushed across at top speed, clearing the park in record time. He finally made it to the bench, stumbling a bit and catching his breath, hands on his knees. He took a few minutes to get it back and calm down.

Once he could properly intake oxygen again he stood back up, hands on his burning sides as he looked around for her. Was she... She'd already left, right? .. Yeah.. She was gone. There was no way she'd stick around and wait. She probably didn't even show up in the first place... Well, he'd expected that. At least he did his part and came to check, even if he was a few minutes late...

He couldn't help but admit he felt a bit disappointed. He'd almost expected her to be there.. Well it was better this way. If she had been there he wasn't sure what would follow. This was just better. Cutting off a useless engagement.. Yeah.. this was better..

It was better, right?

WHACK.

"You are late. What kind of man are you to make a lady wait?"

"Honestly..."


After receiving a particularly painful thwack to the back of his head, should he turn around he would find the person he had been waiting for, and the person whom had been waiting for him. However at this point she would be quite unrecognizable. All this time the girl had very strongly established a no-nonsense, prim and proper, all-business-and-no-fun front for everyone, seeing her in such an outfit would prove to be quite... mind-blowing. Her long and generally straight silky hair had been curled ever so slightly and tied up in a ponytail with a big green bow decorated with a white flower, golden bands and a small blue pin, had opted to wear a midnight blue yukata spattered with little decorative butterflies, and with further advice from her friend Ruki, put on a light makeup for the finishing touch.

Oh. Don't forget that little candy apple in her mouth. ...Waiting gets boring, alright?!

...

So yeah. She didn't go home. And he didn't decide to just leave her here to wait for hours and hours on end. That's... good. Right...?

She was there..

He turned, practically not even feeling the hit on the head and eyeing her in surprise. She really was there.. Despite everything. Despite not liking him or wanting to deal with him, despite all of that.. there she was.

He wasn't sure if he was relieved or disappointed yet though.

"Cheh! It's your fault for having us meet so early!" He muttered idly. "Although it's cute you wanted me all to yourself for the full day~" He said inspecting her quite thoroughly. Honestly a bit too thoroughly. His eyes slowly, slooooowly, worked up her legs, butt, lingering on her chest long enough to be noticable before dropping back down to the ass again and finally coming to her face. He flashed her a grin and a thumbs up. "Nice job! You look sexy!" He said eagerly.

He leaned in dropping his voice. "You know the great thing about a yukata is how quickly they come off." He said with a sly grin and a wink.

Yup, he was starting early this time. He might end up beaten into a coma before all this was done and over with.

WHACK AGAIN.

Oh, she SERIOUSLY regretted coming! "Keep that up and you will be burned to death on a stake," The girl hissed angrily with a deep tint of red on her face, crossing her arms in front of her and turning away from him, flailing the candy apple threateningly at him like a sword. "I did not come here to be played around with!" She said, deciding to clarify her intention before his mind could go any further than it has already been. Not that she could stop him, but it would help if she couldn't actually read his mind...

"Do not let it get over your head, Winston. I am simply here to fulfill my promise to you. It would be an insult to an Ace Inspector to break a promise," Which was true to an extent, really. "This cannot, is not, and will not ever be considered a date. As long as that fact is hammered into your head, I will not say anything to whatever you wish to do,"

Sometimes she wished she could word her sentences better.

Oliver sighed heavily. Right into hitting and tongue lashings as soon as she saw him? She really was making him regret even coming. She was a horrible pain in the ass to be around and even trying to have a bit of fun was met with increasingly harsh reprisal. Burned at the stake? "Assault is a crime you know." He said, obviously annoyed at being hit. He knew that was a trait of 'tsundere' types but he always hated that. However he didn't have long to think about that before she suddenly said something a bit provoking.

He laughed at her as she waved the candy apple in his face. He outstretched his arms placing them over her shoulders and leaning in with a grin. "Whatever I want? Then I can take a bite? I want to eat it up~" He said in a sing song voice. He then reached to her hand, gripping it in his own he leaned over popping her candy apple into his mouth and taking a chunk off in a bite. "Mmm~" He said cheerily. "So good!"

He turned from her and planted his hands on his sides. "I'm sorry but I won't agree to that Mina. Right now I am the luckiest man in this park! I have the most beautiful woman in Hyakuji High in a sexy outfit and she is mine to keep all to myself for so long as I desire and I will think of it as a date as much as I want to." He turned flashing a smile. "So let's begin our

WHACK.

Another assault even if she knew it was a crime. Can she really help it?! Don't hold onto her like that, it's seriously bothering her a lot!

What the hell had she gotten herself into...?

~~~~~

"Remember. The first rule to having a date with me. Make sure there is at least five meters of distance between us," The girl yelled over her shoulder, not looking back as she walked alone along the busy street of downtown. She couldn't push him away, so the best she could do is to at least deny him from getting what he wants. This way she can keep him away while at the same time keeping her promise. Probably not the best option but it's the best she could get at the moment. "The second rule is to pretend you are not with me. If anyone asks you will claim to be a stalker who is just following me around. Understand?"

Well... There's another problem. She had little to absolutely no idea of what anyone is supposed to do during a date. Not that she would ever call this a date, but still. Despite the cool expression on her face she was in actuality completely at lost here, except to just wander around without any destination. What... what the heck was she supposed to do now...? Admittedly it felt weird just walking around alone in a yukata... It feels like she's garnering too much attention for herself...

"I can't agree to any of these stupid rules!!" He said catching up to her quick pace and walking beside her, just outside of hitting range. "You and me are on a date! That means we should be close.. Listen... The fact is.." Did he dare.. Did he dare broach the topic for no man's land? A dangerous torrent of punches could be unleashed..

But.. He had to... In order to cross the frozen wasteland between her heart and him he needed to! And capturing her heart was the doorway to her body! In order to reach that wonderful oasis he'd endure the harsh cold! He'd take on the forbidden topic!

"The fact is.. I'm your first date, right?" He said sounding calm, meanwhile his entire body was prepared for her assault. "If that's the case then shouldn't you defer to my wisdom on the matter? Besides.. You agreed to a date and you already said you'd do what I requested! It seems like Mina is saying one thing and doing another! You should let me set the rules. If it's so bad then you only have to endure it this one time and you're free. This is properly repaying your debts, right?!"

He was making a direct frontal assault! He was going to bypass the hurdle of her shyness and reserved nature by using her pride! Creating a bridge of pride over her wall into the courtyard of her heart where he could conquer the kingdom of Mina!

LET THE BATTLE BEGIN!!!

Mina suddenly went rigid, stopping in her track as her head turned around to stare grimly at Oliver. If she considered this to be a date, then this IS her first date. She was completely clueless about the SOP for dating, and was feeling excessively awkward having to deal with it on her own. Even if it was her own decision to deal with it by herself. She wanted to end this quick so she doesn't have to deal with him ever again after this! But... she seriously doesn't know what to do...

Urgh...

"V-very well..." The girl muttered in annoyance, once again feeling like she was a prey being cornered by a predator. And the predator offering something that clearly looks like a trap, but she simply could not refuse it because, well... either way would be her loss. So she decided to pick the option where she would have less to lose in the long term. Maybe. "I said I would do it..." She said in defeat. It irked her slightly hearing him suggest that she wasn't keeping to the agreement... "Let us just... get this over with..."

She said that, but she's still keeping her distance from him like he's a world-destroying plague or something.

YES! A great success. Just like that he'd reduced her anger and increased her shyness. She was in a much more meek position and thanks to that she was acting much more cutely! This was the best possible outcome from his frontal assault! However, now he'd only created a way forward. What he did from here was the most important! The life or death of their relationship depended on his choices here..

First he'd raise her affection level a bit and close the physical gap between them and the emotional gap too! He was pushing it right off the bad but fortune favors the bold, after all. He couldn't afford to play it safe!

"Firstly we should close this distance between us." He said stepping towards her and grabbing her hand. He interlaced his fingers into her own grabbing it with a grin of success. "See? Like this the atmosphere changes, right? It seems like a real date now!" He said as he turned. "Next up..." He paused considering what to do.

He wandered over with her towards a stall and stopped, purchasing them both a drink and a takoyaki. He held the stick in his free hand. "Shall I feed you?" He said with a grin. He held it towards her letting her smell it. "It's my Takoyaki and my rule is if you want any you must eat them hand fed!" He said with a mischievous smile.

Mina couldn't help but jump in surprise when he closed their distance and promptly took her hand in his. Out of reflex the girl wrenched her hand away from his, holding it close to her and blushing furiously. The girl stared at him, somewhat shocked for a moment before she faltered, muttering apologetically, "S-sorry... I... I am not used to this..." She was still unsure, what was it about him that bothered her so much? It was perhaps his extreme forwardness that somehow knows no bound, but who knows.

The girl glanced at his hand, pausing momentarily before slowly lowering her own to wrap her hand around his, interlacing their fingers together just like he just did earlier. She kept away from looking at him in the eyes, focusing intently on his shoelaces instead, her face lighting up like a Christmas tree. The girl had such a weak and meek look on her face, it's hard to believe she was the very same person whom had beaten him three times prior to this.

Well. He was probably just asking to be beaten up even more by teasing her with the takoyaki. Even with her embarrassment she could still give him the deathly glare when he waved the takoyaki under her nose. "That simply means, if I do not wish for it, I do not have to consume it, right?" HAH! How was that, Oliver Z. Winston?! This is as far as you go in tormenting her-

...

Was that... her stomach?

...

It was. Well. To be honest... she never had any breakfast. The girl was way too nervous and frustrated about the idea of having to go on a date with Oliver she didn't give any thought about eating before leaving her room at all. So... yeah. He really was torturing her. With that... steaming hot takoyaki... the smell of the sauce... aroma of the takoyaki itself... The girl gulped. No... she can handle this... she can... stop herself... she won't... fall...

...

Just... just once... just one is fine... right...? The girl closed her eyes, slowly opening her mouth and gingerly bit the takoyaki, before taking it off the stick and stuffing it in her mouth. Undeniably... it was delicious. And being hungry only made her reaction even harder to hide. However she did manage to hold her pride enough to say, "I will... murder you after this..." The girl said stuffily, chewing gratuitously on the takoyaki with her face still red in embarrassment.

It was.. extremely successful. She seemed to be in a much more romantic mood now. His every action eliciting a blush or reaction from her. Man at times like this he really wanted to jump her. She was just too damn cute for her own good, but he had to keep things at a steady pace.

Urgh.. He really wanted to molest her!!

"I can't believe you've never dated before." He said keeping her hand in his, looking to her with a small blush. "You're so damn cute.." He glanced away from her towards one of the games. "Ohh.. I have an idea." He said eagerly. He went over with her, paying for the next game as well and grabbing the gun in one hand. His plan was to not release her hand at all.

This was one way to improve their relationship, right? By holding her hand constantly she'd get used to it and she'd become more comfortable with him. He was using this as a defensive plan. Now that he'd come over her wall he was attacking the wall from within. By making them grow closer from now on her resistance to him would be lower. But that meant not letting go. He wanted her to miss it when it was over. To want it again.

"The best score on this game gets to pick the next activity!" He said eagerly, takign the water pistol and looking toward the targets.

"H-hey, you do not have to pull me so hard!" The girl said in exasperation as she was quite literally dragged towards a nearby game booth, nearly tripping no thanks to the awkwardness of wearing a wooden sandal. She couldn't resist him even if she wanted to, with him holding her hand like that. She knew there wasn't any way out of this but it's still making her feel quite uncomfortable.

"Are you... seriously challenging me to a shooting game?" The girl muttered in disbelief, raising the water pistol up in front of her. "You do realize who my parents are, right?" The girl said, once again emitting the air of superiority. She is the daughter of the great Reality Breaker, and she has been personally trained by her mother to become a lawkeeper. It's an insult to say that she doesn't at least know how to shoot a bullet.

...

Yes, she's also the daughter of a currently working inspector.

Somewhere in an office at the police department, a burly inspector sneezed.

"I will go first," Mina said as she pulled him aside, raising the water pistol in front of her and staring down the barrel towards the target at the far end of the booth. This is gonna be an easy win for her, really. The girl pulled the trigger, and... she missed. "...Huh?" Her eyes widened in surprise as she once again took aim, pulling the trigger and... missed again. "What...? No!" Squirt, squirt, squirt, she missed all of her targets without even managed to come an inch to hitting them, once even managing to hit the booth owner instead. "That is... that is impossible! This game... this game is rigged!" The girl said in frustration, slamming the water pistol on the counter and blushing at her loss after her condescending talk from earlier.

Well. It would... probably help if she was actually focused on the shooting instead of him all the time. Seriously, she can't focus with him holding her hand! Uncomfortable was an understatement, she was seriously bothered. Even with how much she was trying to hide it there's still no denying that she was still reacting to him a lot.

He grinned eagerly, striking all of the topics easily. "You're right. It is rigged. But if you compensate for that rigging it's possible to win.." For once his skill with guns was useful to him outside of killing. "Your shooting is surprisingly good, if you hadn't been flustered you would have hit them all. That relaxes me a bit. Since we're both comrades in upholding the law." He said consolingly. He was lying, her shooting was really terrible. But he didn't want her in a bad mood so he decided to spin it in a different direction.

Lying is also a form of loving, right~?

He picked a cute stuffed animal, glancing to her. "Look, a souvenir for today." He said showing it to her. "You can name it Oliver and hug it when you miss me~" He said, obviously undeterred by her sour mood. After all he purposely chose a game he'd win at so that he could continue to lead the date.

"I want a picture.." He said with a low tone. He glanced to her and squeezed her hand. "I want something so that we can remember this time! And also how cute you were in that outfit!" He said eagerly guiding her over to the booth.

Once they were done he paid for it again, getting them two copies. "Well I got you one but you'll probably use it for target practice right?" He said grinning sheepishly. He could totally see her having his pinned to the wall with a hundred darts in his face or with him scribbled out.
