Chapter Text
Koushiro was nervous. He was on his way to see Mimi. They had been spending a lot of time together lately, and Koushiro had enjoyed it. In fact, his earlier suspicion was right; he was developing some very deep feelings towards Mimi. They had known each other since they were 4th graders and ended up in the digiworld for the first time, but it wasn't until they were teenagers that Koushiro started to notice some... things about Mimi.
Like how much there was about her that you didn't notice at first. Or how nice it was to have her around. Or how much he missed her when she moved to U.S. Or... how cute she really was.
Koushiro hadn't first been sure about his feelings. This was all a completely new territory for him. After realizing his crush, Koushiro had been really uncertain what to do next. At first, he had been dreading the idea of approaching Mimi. She would never be interested a guy like him. He had also been scared of what him confessing might do to their group dynamic.
But now he had been spending more than usual time together with Mimi recently, just the two of them. And it had honestly been really nice. Mimi seemed to like hanging out with him too. So, now Koushiro had decided to make a move. He was going to ask Mimi out on proper date. Let her know that he likes her more than just as friend.
And the setting was perfect. They had gotten ice cream and were now sitting on a park bench. Koushiro took breath.
"You know, Mimi," The girl turned to look at him.
"I've been thinking about us hanging out recently, and there's something I wanted to ask you."
Mimi turned to face Koushiro fully now.
"I... really like you, Mimi. I mean more than as a friend. I mean, were friends with everyone of the digidestined, but with you, I think I want to be more than just a friend."
There was something odd about Mimi's expression, Koushiro thought. He was starting to lose his confidence. Better get it all out fast.
"What I'm saying is, I want to date you. And I'm asking you out on real date," Koushiro finished while keeping an eye contact with the girl.
"Kousiro, you're asking me out," Mimi said. "Like, on a first date?"
Mimi had a smirk on her lips. Koushiro thought he could hear what sounded like suppressed laughter in Mimi's voice. Oh god, was she about laugh at him.
"Y-yes," Koushiro responded.
Mimi lowered her face. Her shoulders began to shake a little. She was laughing! Mimi raised her hand on Koushiro's shoulder. She then looked at confused boy right in the eyes.
"Kou, sweety," Mimi said with almost trembling voice. "We've been dating for over a month now."
"Wha-at?" Koushiro sounded like someone had just told him that the internet had been shut down for good. "You mean, each other?"
Mimi couldn't hold it in anymore. She let out a high pitch laugh.
"Yes, you genius. We've been going on dates with each other for over a month."
Mimi had get hold her breath before she could continue.
"You suddenly wanted spend time with me just the two of us. And you took me to all sorts of nice places to spend time. Do you know how dating works?"
"But, we haven't been doing anything that speacial," Koushiro, now completely lost, said. "We've been just going to lunches, and seeing that movie you wanted, and hanging on malls..."
"Koushiro, what do you think people do on dates?"
Huh.
"Oh, I'm going to have to keep an eye on you," Mimi said, pulling the boy into a hug. "You might end up having an affair without realizing it."
Koushiro felt really confused. But, in a good way. Hmm, a new feeling.
"You know," Mimi said to the boy's shoulder. "When you started talking all nervous there, I really though you were planning to go for our first kiss."
Koushiro was pretty sure his heart just skipped a beat. He was trying to find words, when Mimi suddenly pulled away and looked him straight in the eyes. She had both her hands on his shoulder's now.
"Hey, for which ever you were going to ask, my answer is yes."
She then pulled their faces closer and pressed their lips together.
Wow. I might be more than a bit dense, but maybe I'm not as hopeless with romance as I assumed, Koushiro thought to himself.
