[ It really wasn't that long, even if he briefly considered drowning himself in the shower. How had he let things go this far? Why wasn't she terrified of him yet? Who even knew????
He did his best to dry his hair, making it look as neat as possible despite his incessantly shaking hands. It was just the park, he didn't need to call anyone, did he? Friends went to the park all the time. Did he just want to be friends? No? Yes? All of this going through his mind as he suddenly found himself outside her door, pounding on it awkwardly. ]
[ Kotori was so excited for her date with Mikoto, and of course she din't have to do much but get dressed. She put on a really cute outfit paired with a bag that had anything she could need like her water and a few snacks just in case they got really hungry and nothing was around!
She was probably ready long before he showed up, but he didn't take that long to get there as she heard the knocking shortly after sitting on the couch. Everyone that was home seemed busy, so she would text them later to let them know where she was. Kotori went to the door quickly, obviously, and opened it for him with a bright smile on her face, and maybe a little put of pink in her cheeks. ]
[ Excuse him while he dies just a little bit. There was that outfit. There was Kotori. This was Mikoto taking a moment to breathe and him trying very hard not to fall apart. This was different, this was an actual date; one that he'd asked for so it wasn't like... ]
[ Kotori couldn't help but giggle a little since Mikoto seemed like he was really nervous and it was kind of cute. ]
Mhm! I'm really excited. We can go ahead and head out if you would like? Oh!
[ She reached inside of her purse and got out the cute little coupon that he had made for her and then handed it to him. It was a coupon, right?! So...she had to exchange it to him in order to go out on a date! ]
I'm using this coupon today! If you don't want it...then I'd like to keep it since it's really cute--if that's okay.
[ There was an awkward moment of Mikoto fidgeting with his hair, staring down at the coupon in her hand. She really did mean to use them, didn't she? That was something else, wasn't it? ]
You can keep it, I don't really need it back...if you like it...I mean...
[ Breathe. ]
Ah, wait!
[ He would take it for a moment, trying to keep his face from burning as he reached into his pocket to pull out a pencil. It took him just a moment, writing the word 'redeemed' underneath the main print. ]
T-that way you know which one you used, right?
[ Although he hoped that she would try to use it again. ]
[ Kotori really did like the coupon because she could tell that he made them himself and that was really sweet and meant a lot to her. So, she was really glad that he figured out a way to let her know which ones she had used! ]
Yes! Thank you! I'm glad since I really wanted to keep it because the flowers were really pretty.
[ She tucked the coupon into her purse and then smiled a bit shyly since she was going to continue to speak. She did want to do things like this in the future even if she ran out of coupons, but she had to make sure that it would be okay with him first. ]
But...umm...if I run out of coupons to use, could we still go on dates, Mikoto-kun?
[ Kotori smiled at him since she saw the look on his face and thought that it was cute, though she was still acting pretty shy. Honestly, she was surprised that he was able to get out what he was trying to say since he looked really embarrassed for some reason. ]
Eh? [ Now who was the one blushing? It's Kotori, that's who. ]
Oh! Like...together together like...boyfriend and girlfriend you mean? Is that what you want, Mikoto-kun?
[ She was smiling, but her heart was beating really fast since she was nervous about what he would say to that. Though, this was Kotori after all and as long as others were happy with whatever, she would be happy. ]
[ Kotori had never dated anyone before and wasn't even sure if she was allowed to being an idol and everything, but since Muse wasn't a thing...then there was no harm in it. Plus, she really did like Mikoto a whole lot and would like it if they were official, only if he wanted to be, that is. ]
I would like that a lot! I've never dated before...but...I would really like to see you happy in particular, Mikoto-kun!
[ Shit, this was what a heart attack felt like. He stared at her in disbelief for a moment, not even sure if he was actually breathing. What is he supposed to say?
WHAT WOULD THEY DO IN ONE OF HIS GAMES?! There were no choices at the bottom of the screen, but there probably was a timer and he'd been quiet for a while now. Then it came out, the bray of a response, so sudden that he would regret it immediately after. ]
[ Kotori did notice the silence, but she didn't mind too much since he may have just needed some time to make sure that this was what he wanted! Though, she was a little concerned since he didn't seem to be reacting at all and...she wasn't sure if he was okay.
Of course, she got some kind of response out of him just a few moments later which made her giggle just a little. She didn't know what he even said "yes" to as she had not asked a question technically, but it was still a positive response which made her happy. ]
Yes! [ She giggled again. ] S-So...does that mean I get to call you my boyfriend now? I can't wait to tell Muse--ah...[ After they...actually leave and go on their date. ]
[ Is there a tree nearby? Yes, give him a second as he leans against it weakly, desperately trying to keep his legs from giving out. There was a nod, a very slow and almost robotic one that would have screeched if he'd been made out of metal. ]
Only if...I get to call you my g-g-g-g-g....
[ oh no ]
girlfriend.
[ It came out as a whisper, Mikoto attempting to straighten up without much success. ]
[ Maybe they should sit down if Mikoto is really feeling like his legs will give out, but Kotori doesn't know this or she would have definitely asked him to sit down so that he would be more comfortable!
While she knew what he was trying to say, she found it cute that he could barely even say it and that it came out as a whisper. She might have giggled even more, perhaps because she was happy, but also because he was cute. ]
Of course you can! It would make me really happy if you did, Mikoto-kun... I'm really excited! Does that mean we can hold hands and stuff now?
[ His response to that was bracing himself for a before shoving his hand out toward her with an awkward grunt and a nod of his head. He was steaming, gears in his head a screaming mess of heat.
Nevermind that it looked more like he was trying to shake her hand, surely she wouldn't mind. ]
[ She didn't mind at all, in fact, she was still blushing herself somewhat since this was different than just holding hands with all of her friends casually. Kotori giggled a little nervously and took his hand with her own, lacing their fingers together. Hopefully, he wouldn't be as stiff as he was once she took his hand like that. ]

There was an audible gulp as he swallowed, ready to die as he asked a question first. ]
...really? You mean, like, maybe...
[ AHHHH. Just say it. ]
...like maybe we're together together?
