WHAT: It’s a daaaaate
WARNINGS: Disgustingly cute things. Read at your own risk.

[He made sure that they were going to celebrate their anniversary this month—7 months was still an important anniversary, right? Even though 6 was more symbolic.

Still. He’d made the plans for them to visit the place where he’d realized that he loved her. Given it was still the slightest bit chilly out, he didn’t expect it to be too crowded, and with it being closer to evening? And a Monday? He was hoping they might have a chance to be the only people there.

But he was keeping it a surprise from her, just giving her a mysterious “I’ll pick you up” text.

Now, he was just waiting for her on his motorcycle.]

[ ann doesn't mind the spontaneous text, honestly? even though she has class tomorrow, she will make time for mako. always. she's outside of her dorm wearing a warm jacket when he pulls up to get her.

and when he arrives, ann gives him a kiss immediately after he removes his helmet. ]

Hey, you.

[browbeater]

[at that, he grins a little lopsidedly, eyes focused on her. He pulls out a spare helmet to hand to her.]

Hey, beautiful.

We gotta make up for that anniversary we missed, you know.

[ladytakamaki]

Yeah! Is that what this is about?

[ she hops onto the motorcycle and puts her helmet on her head, wrapping her arms around his waist. ]

[browbeater]

Yeah.

It sucks that it's on a Monday, but you've got my word I'll have you back before bedtime.

[he grins back at her for a moment, before putting his own helmet back on.]

Hold on, alright?

[ladytakamaki]

You got it!

[ she's holding on tight! ]

[browbeater]

[this is perfect, because the route they're taking? Should be pretty familiar to her. But if it isn't? At least it's a nice night, and they're going the scenic route.]

[ladytakamaki]

[ indeed, it's familiar. ann still thinks about that night sometimes--the night she realized she liked him. and so she smiles when she realizes where they're probably going. ]

Don't worry, I haven't told anyone about our secret spot!

[browbeater]

[he can barely hear her, but he does, and he understands. He just doesn't try to fight the sound around him. Just, for now, he's quiet until they get into the lot, and once they've parked...]

Happy anniversary, babe.

I packed some food for us to eat.

[and the sun hasn't QUITE set yet.]

[ladytakamaki]

You did?

[ she hands him her helmet, gets off of the bike. ] What'd you make for us?

[ honestly, he's so sweet. so...he gets a kiss on the cheek. thanks, mako. ]

[browbeater]

Some dumplings-- I was making them anyway, so I made extra for us.

[they're homemade, it's fine, it's cute?! but he grins at her, wanting to steal more than a cheek kiss. But he'll wait until they get settled.]

[ladytakamaki]

Sweet! I was honestly craving something along those lines; you know me too well!

[ so...to the ledge they sat on that night!!! ]

[browbeater]

[little does she know...

Look, he's gotta spoil his girlfriend, and he can tell when she's being polite to him. There's no doubt in his mind she'd rather have sweets.

He'd wanted to surprise her at Christmas with this, but then... taste happened.

he sets the box on the ledge, and offers a hand to her if she wants his help boosting over the ledge.]

[ladytakamaki]

[ ann puts the box on the side so it doesn't topple over or anything, and gladly helps mako over the ledge.

of course she loves his cooking, even if it's not desserts. but...she isn't going to say no to sweets.

that's pretty much a given. ]

[browbeater]

[of course it is. he knows his girlfriend very well.

so, he hands off the box to her, and then leans back a little.]

I'll let you have the first one.
