"Haruto, our first date did not began with a car ride" Hanami murmured while Haruto was busy backing the car from the parking lot, his arm resting on Hanami's seat while his head was turned backwards, Hanami looked away; trying her best not to react at how hot he looked like that.
After Haruto safely turned his Maserati SUV on the streets, he stole a glance at Hanami through the looking glass. Clearing his throat, he replied "I was a young reckless kid back then... but now a successful CEO" he paused before continuing again, "Do you expect me to run around streets with a twenty year old woman dressed like a fifteen year old?". A slight chuckle escaped his lips while Hanami furrowed her brows, pretending to be offended by his words.
"Now don't be like that, chocopie", Haruto teased, stealing a glance at her while noticing the crimson flush over her cheeks, "Stop calling me that!" She protested, staring out of the window. "Just as stubborn like before" Haruto murmured, his grip on the steering wheel tightening for a moment before he pulled his car up at a arcade gaming spot. He got out of his car and watched Hanami struggle with her seatbelt. He watched from afar but did not held a helping hand.
After a few minutes, Hanami and Haruto walked into the arcade gaming. It's been years since she had visited one, the last she visited might be on their first date.
"Let me beat your ass in air hockey this time too", Haruto joked but there was a determination in his voice and he left no room for Hanami to argue, he nearly dragged her to the air hockey and flipped in a few coins.
√√√
"You're as bad as before", Haruto admitted with a sigh before he burst into a soft laughter, Hanami was pissed since Haruto won 'air hockey' two times and he had also scored higher than her in 'basketball'.
Haruto stopped suddenly and tugged at Hanami's hand, pointing his finger at a 'plush claw machine'. "You won't nag for a teddy this time?" He questioned, making Hanami chuckle. She shaked her head and held hands with him. The sudden touch made Haruto blush slightly but he shrugged it off with a cool look. "Let's get one for Hajun", Hanami's suggestion made Haruto smile and nod in agreement, how foolish it was for him to forget that they had a baby boy now.
Haruto was focused on aiming a puppy plushie for Hajun, the boy had a soft spot of doggies. While Hanami also focused from behind, each time Haruto failed, she'd groan in frustration.
After seven-eight times of trying, the last trial was finally worth it. As the plush was dropped out of the machine Haruto wiped his sweat and Hanami burst into a loud cheer, clapping for her ex-boyfriend.
Haruto grinned before picking up the plushie and stood up, handing it to Hanami. The excited younger girl, took it in her hands and immediately wrapped her arms around him in a hug. Haruto was stunned, he hesitated for a moment before resting one of his hands over her small waist slightly.
