"We can head over there right after school if you would like that? We can listen to some music in my room... once my family has finished interrogating you," he added with a wink. It would be nothing like this, though.... Kim-san's quuestioning had been intense and pointed. His parents would simply want to get to know the girl their son had been ranting on about. And his little sister had been bouncing with excitement ever since Takumi had said he would be bringing Izzy back for dinner.
"I have to apologise in advance, though," he added. "Mayuki... my sister... will want to plait your hair and tie it with ribbons. I am not sure if Fumihiro will be home. I hope so as I'd like you to meet him as well." Takumi knew his older brother was busy studying to become a doctor but he was home at the moment... It was just uncertain whether or not he had other plans.
Takumi gripped Izzy's hand a little more tightly, also wishing they could return to the porch... and to more kisses like the one they'd just shared. His lips still tingled from it and the taste of strawberries from the gloss she wore still lingered.
"I take the blame for that, Kim-san," Takumi stated. He didn't want her father to know how upset she'd been or that she'd been crying. "I was excited about tomorrow and so I kept Izzy talking for far too long." Not in the slightest bit true but better he took the blame than Izzy. "She is to come over to my house for dinner. That is... if it is alright with you, sir?"

"So now its revenge time...my turn to face the penetrating questions." Izzy said kidding around of course, "I am looking forward to it. Sounds great. I am all yours tomorrow." She said lightly bumping his shoulder. "No apology necessary, cause knowing my brother...he will be taking you out to some sports event to bond with you. So its only fair. I hope I get to meet your older brother as well." Izzy's nerves were still there, but she was smiling for once.
Izzy gave Taki a look. She was about to just say they got lost in conversation, but he jumped right in. God, he was great. She was damn lucky. Mr. Kim eyed both of then, "Just have her home by a reasonable time." Mr. Kim said. "With that I bid you goodnight. Thank you for joining the family for dinner." Mr. Kim bowed and disappeared.
Izzy had not even thought to ask for permission. She had just said yes cause she did not think her dad could make that choice for her. Oh well. He said yes so Izzy should not dwell. "I will walk you to the door." Izzy did just that. She eyed Taki and gave him a sweet kiss to show her thanks. "Thanks for what you said. See you tomorrow." She said kissing his cheek. "Thanks again for tonight...for everything..I will make it up to you. Have a good night...please text me when you get home safe..."

Takumi kissed Izzy back with enthusiasm and he smiled when she added another one to his cheek. It was a relief to see at least some of that sadness dissipate although he knew it was still there below her surface. How could it not be given that the funeral was so close? "Of course I will text you," he replied and he picked up the red crash helmet he'd placed along with his jacket on a chair near to the front door. "See you tomorrow at school," he added and after a brief hug and one final kiss he walked outside and around to where he'd parked his Vespa. Takumi waved, pulled his helmet on and then set off back towards home.
The evening had been... weird... but had turned out reasonably well. Kim-san had been ok with Izzy coming over for dinner and he hadn't honestly been sure that would transpire. Normally he wouldn'y have sought permission but given the strictness of her father it seemed the wisest course of action to make sure he knew precisely where she was - and who with. Tomorrow promised to be great!
It took him a little over 20 minutes to reach homwe but it wasn't like he rode his scooter fast... and besides, the evening was still relatively young. Add to that the fact that the temperature was balmy and he was in no hurry.
A text was quickly sent and after telling his parents how the evening had gone he finally crawled into bed.
While he knew things could have turned out a heck of a lot better he also knew the opposite could also be said. All in all Takumi felt he'd fared well enough... and now all he had to do was find that elusive suit!
