STARBOY | 34

"YOU BROUGHT ME TO THE DINER?" MISO QUESTIONED WITH A LIGHT CHUCKLE, AS SHE LOOKED UP AT NIKI. "WHY?"

A scoff escaped the boys lips as he wrapped his arm around the girl, pulling her into him as they headed for the entrance of the diner they'd once eaten at together (and not payed).

"'Cause I wanna spend time with my girl." Niki told her, a smirk playing at the corner of his lips as they sat in a booth. His words made Miso's cheeks blush red and she lowered her head in embarrassment as Niki yelled out their order of Blueberry Pancakes.

"Don't tell me you still blush around me," Niki teased, reaching over the table and gently pinching her cheek, causing Miso to let out a shy laugh and lean away from the boy. "I thought you'd gotten use to me now, Doll."

"Well what do you expect, Niki?" She raised a brow, attempting to stop the massive grin that was threatening to burst on her lips. "You'll always make me blush, no matter what." She shrugged, making a smug grin appear on his face.

Eventually, once the couples pancakes were served, and they began to eat the delicious desert, they couldn't help but feel at home with each other. The eye contact that was shared every now and then made both of their hearts go into a frenzy and the warm, genuine smiles made them remember how luck they were to have one another.

"I'm so proud of you, Niki," Miso began, slightly biting down on her bottom lip as she looked down at her hands, avoiding eye contact. She couldn't help but feel nervous in a situation like this. "I really am... And I'm so happy that you beat my brother and came first. You really do deserve it."

A grateful smile tugged at Niki's lips as he lifted her chin so that she could look at him. "Everything I do is for you, so I'm happy I made you proud." 

Immediately, Miso's heart pounded against her chest and she couldn't help but feel dizzy due to his words. He really did know how to make her go crazy.

Once the two had finished their food, and were sat with full stomachs, Miso pulled out the purse from the pocket of the jacket she was wearing and was about to pay, when Niki grabbed her wrist softly, preventing her from pulling out her money.

"I've got it handled, Doll." The boy winked playfully, causing the Choi girls eyes to furrow.

However, just as plenty of questions filled Choi Miso's head, they were quickly answered once Niki interlocked their fingers and pulled her up from her seat with a mischievous grin on lips before he hurried out of the diner without paying — just like last time...

After the two had ran far enough from the restaurant, and were a panting mess, they eventually came to a stop, breathy chuckles being the only thing heard on the rather quiet night.  

"I'll never get use to that." Miso laughed, a shrug coming from Niki as he wrapped his arm around her shoulders.

"You should, 'cause I plan on taking you there loads more." He grinned, pulling out a cancer stick and lighting it whilst it hung between his lips.

Watching as the Nishimura boy blew out the smoke into the air, Choi Miso couldn't help but feel her breath hitch as the memories of him blowing the smoke into her mouth earlier on that night flashed in her mind.

"You're cute, Choi Miso." Niki commented after noticing the pink on her cheeks, a chuckle escaping the boys lips and he pulled her even closer to him, almost like he was afraid shed disappear. 

After walking for a little while longer, Miso took a glance up at Niki once they arrived the next destination. A wide beam was displayed on the shorter girls face and excitement bubbled inside of her as she realised Niki had taken her to 'Bob's Skates.'

The Greaser couldn't help but admire the Choi girl as she hurried inside, collecting their skates eagerly. She was like a kid in a candy shop. 

"I can't believe I'm doing this." Niki shook his head in shame, a tinge of pink appearing on his cheeks as embarrassment swarmed his body as he awkwardly tried to skate. "I look like a panty waist." 

"Shut your trap, Niki." Miso laughed, grabbing his hand so that he could gain some sort of balance. 

The boy was like a deer on ice and the sight of him made tears of laughter form in Miso's eyes whilst she skated beside him. The arena was filled with the couples laughter and the snarky comments from Niki as he'd get up from the floor after falling down. All of it made Miso's stomach ache with joy. She was happy. He was happy. They were both happy and that's all that mattered. 

After a few hours of fun at Bob's Skates, it was finally time to leave as the sun had fully set and the night was growing older. The two had their fingers interlocked as they left the place, the cold air hitting them immediately. 

"I've got one more place to take you, Doll." Niki whispered, sending shivers down the girls back as she smiled widely, and bobbed her head before following after him.
