Log;

To say that Doumeki was surprised by the outcome of this evening would be an understatement. In fact, he had been fully prepared to just go, stay for one dance, and then leave. It sounded mean, but when it came down to it, at first neither he nor Rosette had anything in common. But somehow...something during that first dance had made the archer want to stay. And stay he had, as Rosette had as well, and they had danced several more dances after that. It was...odd. He almost felt guilty for leaving Watanuki to his own devices, but then...the other boy hadn’t expressed any desire to go, so, fine. Be that way.

So...he had gone, and he had actually enjoyed himself spending time with a girl that wasn’t Kunogi Himawari. How very odd and unusual. But then... Doumeki quickly shoved the thought of hitsuzen out of his head. The last thing he wanted to do right now was think of any of Yuuko-san’s slightly mocking explanations of the world.

Rosette played with the soft rose that was sewn to her collar, nibbling on her bottom lip as they walked down the street. She had really enjoyed Prom, much to her suprise. Honestly, she was sure she was going to be miserable, sit back at a table, and make fun of the couples and make up stupid diolauge for them. Doumeki, besides the very odd and hard to pronounce name, didnt seem like her cup of tea. The words 'rock face' had instantly come to mind when talking to him.

But After that first dance, and the several after, the solid rock seemed to crack a bit and show some emotion. He didnt talk much, still, but at least it wasnt like talking to a solid wall anymore. Infact, she enjoyed his company.

She hoped Joshua was alright with his date, Kirie, even though she knew he had wanted to go with Nill. Maybe it would turn around for him like it had for her.

Rosette blanched at the thought, her expression suddenly turning strange as they walked together. Best not think of it that way, They just had gotten along is all.

"Uh...Thanks for coming with me." She mumbled, watching their feet.

Doumeki nodded in response to he statement. Really, it had been an odd, spur-of-the-moment decision on his part. Vash had pretty much told him to go, and he had figured that if he was going, then why not take someone with him? It was logic, pure and simple.

"...you should give yourself more credit." The statment was idle, with the archer's hands stuck in his pockets, golden-brown eyes fixed on the sidewalk before them.

Their steps echoed in the quiet streets, one of his steps for every two of hers. fireflies blinked about, having filtered in from Xandu. It was pretty really. She blinked at his words, looking up at him with a little frown, moving her hand from her collar to intertwine them infront of her. "Whats that supposed to mean?" She asked quizzically, honestly confused.

"Dancing." Doumeki stated simply, glancing over to her, slowing down his pace slightly so she didn't have to walk too fast, but still keeping up with her rather easily.

"Oh." She blinked, before rubbing the back of her neck, smiling in embarrasement. "Only stepped on you once. That's a improvement, really." She laughed, thankful for him slowing down. It wasnt that he was walking real fast, it was just high heels didnt allow for long steps, expecially when she was shorter then the tall bastard. Leg length and all that. "Believe me, If it wasnt for you, I'd have been compleatly lost."

The archer looked mildly amused at that. "Takes two people." he stated in explination. Doumeki didn't sugarcoat things, nor was he charming, he just said what he thought. She really wasn't a bad dancer once she stopped thinking about it so hard.

"Bla bla bla. You're starting to sound like Rue you know that?" She elbowed him a little in the side, making a face. "She's always saying stuff like that." She glanced up at him, squinting one eye. "You sure you're not wired there? She feeding things through that empty head of yours?"

Now that made the corners of Doumeki's mouth curl into a slightly amused smile.

"No." he stated, one eyebrow raising. "Not that crazy."

Sure, Doumeki occationally went with the Mystery Club, but it was mostly to keep Autor out of trouble. He enough weird things to deal with with Watanuki without needing to pay attention to any of what Autor usually talked about. Sure, maybe the boy was right about some things, but not enough for Doumeki to pay attention. As long as it didn't threaten him or Watanuki, the archer had no problem with it.

She grinned back, laughing to herself.

"You know, its hard to tell with your poker face." She crossed her arms, satisfied with making him smile, and put on her whole, My-ego-takes-over-the-block act. "Though noone's poker face can stand a chance around me. Its impossible!"

That amused him. Greatly.

"...hm?" he stated, non-commentally, though with a slightly challenging glint to his eye. Couldn't crack his poker face, huh? He had spent years perfecting it. Having her be able to crack it was unlikely. Even Watanuki had a hard time with it. So he turned his attention back to the sidewalk, said poker face falling into place again, an obvious challenge.

She blinked at his sudden chance of emotion, glancing over at his stone-cold-granite expression. It took a few moments to get the reason to pass through her head, before it plinked on the other side of her skull and her eyes widened at the challenge, lips pulling up into competitive grin.

"Oh, if that's how we're going to play..." She turned her face from him, wobbling as she walked sideways to keep him from peaking. With no regard to her self image, she flipped her eyelids up, sucked her chin in, blew out her cheeks and made her lips pinched and fishy. She turned around and ducked a little in front and under him, crossing her eyes and speaking in the most retarded voice she could (which was honestly hard with her mouth twisted up like that). And as a final touch she flapped her hands at her ears, looking like some deranged alien from outer space.

"Don't you wanna give your date a kiss douumekkiii?"

He had seen some pretty interesting faces in his time. Most of that came from hanging around a boy who liked to spaz and yell at him almost any chance he got. However, he had never quite seen one so elaborate, especially on the face of a girl. No one of the female gender that he knew would do something like that, so the fact that she had startled him more than he would've thought, and nearly surprised a laugh out of him.

He covered the laugh up quickly with a cough into his hand, turning his head slightly away. If he looked at that face again, he would laugh; there was no doubt about that.

She had to let out her breath and uncross her eyes for a moment, trying not to laugh herself before following him around, flapping her hands like wings at her ears as she followed after him, returning the insane expression to her face. "Whats wronng Doumekkiii! Dont you finnd me sexxyyy~" This was too amusing to give up.

"Sexy", huh? Wow. M'kay. This was definatley new. That actually startled a laugh out of him, brief, but a low rumble in his chest before he covered it up with another cough, the corner of his mouth twitching as he tried looking up now. Maybe that would work.

She just stopped, cocking her head to the side quizzically, and fished her lips at him, fingers wiggling just a little as she uncrossed and crossed her eyes.

She stopped so suddenly he nearly tripped over her, but he stopped himself just in time, looking down at her in an automatic reaction. This prooved to be a fatal mistake to his person.

He actually laughed this time.

Actually laughed.

Who'd have thought?

The sound was a rumble in his chest as the corners of his mouth lifted into a smile and he covered his mouth with his hand, trying to hide it rather unsuccessfully.

"HAH!!" She bounced backwards, laughing merrily to herself, hands clutching over her stomach as she fixed her eyelids. "I knew it!" She doubled over, tears in her eyes as she pointed one hand at him. "Oh man. I dont know how you lasted that long, normally Joshua takes one look at that and he's in tears!" She straghtened up, her cheeks still pink from blowing them out. "Hahaha!"

He almost expected her to trip as she moved backwards, but to his suprise she didn't, laughing at him (and at herself?) instead. She had...a nice laugh. A very nice laugh. He chuckled again, unwittingly. "Yeah, yeah." he muttered, though the words had a tint of amusement to them.

"I'm still the champ! And you owe me a soda!" She sang as she twirled on her heel, stumbling as her ankle gave out in the high heels. She yelped, stumbling backwards, and stepped on the hem of her dress, pitching forward and falling into Doumeki with gasp.

Oh right. This was why she didnt like high heels. Red tinted her cheeks as she looked up at him. "A-ah..."

Woops.

That was why high heels were the root of all evil and why Doumeki was ever-thankfully he didn't have to wear them. But it was just instinctual to catch her. Yes. Absolutely instinctual. Which was why he did, holding her steady until she got her footing and looked up at him. Huh. She had very ~~pretty~~ nice blue eyes.

"....careful." he stated.

Her eyes flickered up and then back down and then up again with his own. "Yeah..." She responded, kicking back her dress so she wouldnt step on it again. She peeked up at him again, nibbling on her bottom lip. "You still owe me a soda."

"....alright then." he stated, with a nod of agreement. Fine. A soda. Nothing too big, right?

"Tomorrow?"

It was far too late to get a soda tonight.

She blinked up at him, before stepping back, smiling easily at him. "Sure, Tomorrow." She offered out her hand to shake, the other placed at her hip, her lips quirked up playfully.

Doumeki blinked down at the hand she offered, before he lifted his own, taking it with a nod of his head in agreement.

Rather then shaking it though, she pulled him down so that she only had to lean forward and place her soft lips against his cheek, rather then hop up to reach him. She pulled back but seconds later, and grinned up at him, turning on her heel and starting to walk towards the opera house, now within sight. "I'll see you tomorrow Doumeki!"

Doumeki's eyes widened slightly as he was tugged downward a bit, much closer to her height now as she leaned in and pressed a kiss to his cheek. Well....he hadn't quite expected that. In fact, he hadn't expected most of this evening. He had barely enough time to pull the shock off his face before he lifted a hand in farewell, straightening.

He waited until she was out of sight and safely into the opera house before he stuck his hands in his pocket and turned on his heel, walking back towards the Hot Springs, feeling just slightly lighter than before.

...huh.
