Give me a Reason

Emmalyn is the name, pleased to meet you.

Kazuhiko thought about what to eat, and responded, “How about some sandwiches? I think even I can make that.” He tried to push out the memory of his “chicken”. He really needed to learn how to cook.

He treaded water over to where Emmalyn was, and rested his head on the ledge next to her. “I probably should have prepared better for this date.”

[theshslballerina]

"Ah! No worries, it's okay, it's not like we would be able to do much. Especially considering our circumstances." Emmalyn gave a light chuckle. "So, does that mean you're ready to go?"

After his mini panic attack at Emma almost drowning, Kazuhiko replied, “I know you do, and I’m glad to see that you care. But I think you’re worried that you’ll make a mistake, which I don’t think you’ll do. If anything, I should be the one worried.” And he was, he just didn’t want to tell Emma. “I’m enjoying this time we have together, and you should too. So let’s just…enjoy ourselves for a moment, together.”

[theshslballerina]

She let out one final cough before speaking again, yet still had her hand over her mouth to attempt to shield some of her blush from her face, “I’m glad and I am!! I am enjoying myself, I’m just worried because I’ve never done anything like this before.” Plus how am I suppose to react to comments like that?! Especially since they make me feel like butterflies are in my stomach! Emmalyn thought as she turned her gaze away.

[kazuhiko-shori]

Kazuhiko could easily relate to Emma’s situation. He also had never done this before, so he didn’t critisize Emmalyn. “I know how you feel, trust me.”

He swam back to the shallow end of the pool, as he felt a bit tired from all the swimming around. “Hey, it’s about lunchtime, isn’t it? I don’t suppose you brought any food with you?” He wouldn’t mind going down to the cafeteria, but maybe Emma brought something to eat. Kazu didn’t know, but he figured he’d ask.

[theshslballerina]

"Ahh no! I didn't. We could probably whip something up in the kitchen then if you want." Emmalyn smiled before going under the water and swimming towards the edge before propping herself up on it. "What exactly are you hungry for?" 

Emmalyn swung her legs lightly in the water as she waited for a response.

"A-ah really? I thought I was, um, being a bit pushy about being in the deep end and from what I’ve seen it’s um, not good to do that." As Emmalyn spoke she dunked herself leaving from her nose up above, feeling embarrassed. Emmalyn would never admit it, but she was scared that she might mess up, after all mistakes were never tolerable with her at all.

[kazuhiko-shori]

Kazuhiko was about to apologize again profusely for making Emma feel bad, but…he let out a laugh instead at her for how she “hid” herself underwater. She was really adorable at times, but she was still a lot more than her looks. That was probably why Kazuhiko liked her so much.

Kazuhiko smiled. “Listen, I don’t care how deep the water is. All I care about right now is swimming with you. I’m enjoying myself because you’re here.”

[theshslballerina]

Emmalyn opened her mouth to say something as she blushed red across her face, when she had forgotten for a moment that most of her body was still underwater, accidently sucking in the water. 

Emmalyn pushed herself back to where her feet could touch the floor, a few steps away, into the shallow end as she covered her coughs with her hand, "Ahh, I'm sorry, I rushed too quickly, I care too." She said between coughs, somewhat smiling with a hint of red still on her cheeks.

Emmalyn noticed Kazuhiko’s flailing and dunked back under the water and swam towards him, popping up her head up from the water. “….Kazuhiko, would you prefer staying in the shallow end?” Emmalyn gave out a worried smile, feeling stupid for expecting Kazuhiko to just go happily along with her requests. 

[kazuhiko-shori]

Emma popping up right in front of him surprised him slightly, but he still managed to keep his cool for the most part. But he felt bad at the last bit Emma said. He didn’t want her to miss out on the entire pool just because of his own stupidity. Besides, he was starting to get the hang of this “swimming” deal.

"N..No, it’s fine. I’m just…a bit rusty, is all." He used his arms and legs to swim in a little circle around Emmalyn, just to show that he had control over the water, not the other way around.

Emmalyn gave a big smile and stood up from the concrete side, “I’ll be jumping in the deep end! I heard it was better to get your whole body in at once.” Emmalyn ran off to where she figured it was deep, she might be rusty at swimming but she sure as hell knows how to float. Emmalyn took a running start and jumped cannonball style into the water. 

The water felt so nice, it felt somewhat fulfilling, it was a sudden gush and for a short while she let herself down into the bottom of the pool before using the floor to give her a jump start to the top. With a big gasp of air Emmalyn gave a short wave with her left arm, trying to stay afloat, “C’mon to the deep end it’s great!”  

[kazuhiko-shori]

Kazuhiko let out a small yelp under his breath. Now he had to go to the deep end? What if he drowned? What if he flailed his arms and made Emma laugh and leave? What if he sank like a stone and died? Would that mean Emmalyn murdered him? Would Monobear execute her too? Oh god, oh god, why couldn’t he have learned to swim?!?

Kazuhiko slowly waded into deeper water, determined to meet with Emmalyn. He swam out to where she was, and soon he felt the floor give way in a sudden incline, which took Kazu by surprise. He started moving his arms and legs, in hopes of not drowning, and moved closer to where she was. He was so scared, he could barely speak. But he did his best to hide his fear.

"I…hope…this…is…close…enough…"

[theshslballerina]

Emmalyn noticed Kazuhiko's flailing and dunked back under the water and swam towards him, popping up her head up from the water. "....Kazuhiko, would you prefer staying in the shallow end?" Emmalyn gave out a worried smile, feeling stupid for expecting Kazuhiko to just go happily along with her requests.

"Yes, of course!" Kazuhiko said on impulse. He then realized that, despite being 18 years old, he hadn’t ever gone swimming. He had seen others swim before, but he…never had time for it. Kazuhiko really needed to get out more.

Well, no time like the present to learn, right? Kazuhiko slipped into the water slowly, and let his body fall into the water. Thankfully, the water was shallow, so he didn’t have to worry yet. The water wasn’t even that cold. It was very nice.

"Come on in. The water’s very nice."

[theshslballerina]

Emmalyn gave a big smile and stood up from the concrete side, "I'll be jumping in the deep end! I heard it was better to get your whole body in at once." Emmalyn ran off to where she figured it was deep, she might be rusty at swimming but she sure as hell knows how to float. Emmalyn took a running start and jumped cannonball style into the water.

Her hand suddenly felt really empty as Kazuhiko let go of her, it felt weird even though she knew it was coming, she had looked up suddenly and gave a sheepish smile, “Yeah same for me, I’ll be right out into the pool soon.” 

Emmalyn got out her card and swiped it, letting herself into the changing room. She simply took all of her clothes minus her swimsuit off as soon as she closed the door, continuing to walk forward as she headed towards the closest empty space. Opening her bag, she took out her towel and simply stuffed everything else in. Emmalyn took a deep breath in and out, determined to be confident on her date.

Emmalyn walked out of the changing room and headed for the pool side, leaving her towel near the benches and sitting on the side of the pool with her legs in, waiting for Kazuhiko. 

It suddenly hit Emmalyn, what exactly were they going to do? Emmalyn never had time to be swimming so she may be rusty, but she never really played with anyone. Emmalyn’s mind was getting dizzy from the thoughts, quickly shaking it off. 

[kazuhiko-shori]

Kazuhiko stepped into the boys changing room quickly, and removed the excess clothing. He felt cold, standing there in nothing but a bathing suit, but at least he was clothed. Technically. He stuffed all of his clothes into a locker and brought out only his towel.

He went out to the pool, waiting on Emmalyn to come out of th…GOD DAMN! Was that…Emma? She looks so……so…..gorgeous! Kazuhiko’s mind was clouded before, but now, he couldn’t even stay standing. He went over to where Emma was sitting, and sat down beside her. “So…shall we take a swim?” he tried asking casually.

[theshslballerina]

Emmalyn's mind was elsewhere, thinking of bits of scenarios that she had seen or heard and imagined her and Kazuhiko in them when Kazuhiko had come up to her sitting down, starling her, making her face blush red as if she had said everything she had thought of out loud. She turned her gaze away quickly, bring her hand over her nose and mouth, feeling as if she was being too anxious.

"Yeah! That'd be a good idea, you know how to swim right?" Emmalyn tried to ask playfully.

Emmalyn felt the tips of her lips twitch, she wanted to give a small smile but her body made her try to smile wide, she felt glee from being called one of the most amazing girls from Kazuhiko. She looked down, wanting to avoid letting Kazuhiko see her feel embarrassed over such a comment, after all she has been called that before right? She was on the top ballerinas in the country and the world, but it meant so much just hearing it from him. “T-Thank you!..That means a lot.” Emmalyn exclaimed. 

She didn’t want to let go of his hand, she felt if she did that Emmalyn would lose him even though they were by themselves. Emmalyn kept her head down for the most part, feeling if she looked up she’d feel her heart beat out of her chest. 

[kazuhiko-shori]

Kazuhiko turned his head back to the hall, having given up his little wish of her looking at him. After all, what if they crashed into a wall because neither of them were looking? Not a very romantic first date.

They went unnoticed in the stairwell, and soon they were at the changing rooms. Color coordinated, and one for boys and girls. Kazuhiko took a deep breath, and let go of Emmalyn’s hand as slowly as he could. “I’ll change here real fast, OK? I’ll see you on the other side.”

[theshslballerina]

Her hand suddenly felt really empty as Kazuhiko let go of her, it felt weird even though she knew it was coming, she had looked up suddenly and gave a sheepish smile, "Yeah same for me, I'll be right out into the pool soon."

One of the coolest? Coming from Emmalyn, that made Kazuhiko feel wonderful. “Thank you, Emmalyn. And you’re one of the most amazing girls I’ve ever met.” Was that too much? Well, he said it, and it was true.

As they were walking down the hall, Kazuhiko remembered his dream from the night before. He felt just like he did in the dream, and he was even holding Emma’s hand, too! He looked over to Emma, her red hair slightly bobbing while she walked. She didn’t look back, but then again, why should she? This wasn’t actually like the dream.

Was it?

[theshslballerina]

Emmalyn felt the tips of her lips twitch, she wanted to give a small smile but her body made her try to smile wide, she felt glee from being called one of the most amazing girls from Kazuhiko.

Emmalyn got her hair on the side of face and put it behind her ear, avoiding his eyes and showing a slight blush on her cheeks, “Ah, g-good mornin’ Kazuhiko! Yes, I’m ready, I’ve been getting set all morning. I didn’t want to be late for our date. I got my card, do you have your’s?” Emmalyn tilted her head, smiling, taking out the card from her front pocket. 

Emmalyn felt anxious, wondering if she was talking too much or too fast, she wanted to keep her cool down and keep herself calm and level headed. 

[kazuhiko-shori]

Kazuhiko saw Emmalyn’s face turn red, and wanted to tell her that she didn’t need to feel embarrassed. But when he grabbed her hand, he felt a lump in his throat and suddenly couldn’t speak.

"Well…no need to be…um…" He was grasping for the words. Just act normal, you don’t want her to see you as lame. Kazu looked down at Emma, and from her confused face realized he’d said that last bit out loud, not thought it in his mind.

[theshslballerina]

Emmalyn blinked, wondering if she had misheard, was it just in her mind? Maybe it was her own head? She looked down and felt the warmth of his hand and gripped it, she muttered softly, "I think you're one of the most coolest people ever.." Hoping that if she heard wrong she could just pass it off as something else.

Emmalyn felt her heart skip a beat, feeling herself wait for an answer.

Kazuhiko couldn’t remember how he’d gotten to this field of flowers, but he knew two things. One, there was a surprising lack of bees around here, which he was thankful for. And two, Emmalyn was with him, holding his hand and walking along the field with him. It was so relaxing, so tranquil. Kazuhiko couldn’t remember the last time he’d been this happy. He looked at Emma, she looked back, their faces got closer…

Kazuhiko awoke from his dream slowly, and didn’t know what to think. Not only was this one of the few times he’d had a nice dream in his life, but he hadn’t twisted and turned in bed all night, and thus he awoke still under his sheets with a mattress underneath him. His fortunes were looking up!

He got up from bed, showered, and got dressed. Then, he”d remembered his agreement with Emmalyn from the night before. “Our date!” He yelled, almost loud enough for everyone in school to hear. He started to wonder what he would need for a trip to the pool, and decided a pair of swimming shorts, a towel, and a change of clothes would suffice. He used the map on his I.D. card to navigate to the storage room, where he picked out a simple pair of swim trunks, as well as a blue gym bag. He ran back to his room to change, and because he didn’t know better, wore his normal attire over the trunks, albeit without his vest.

With his towel and spare clothes in the gym bag, he stepped out of his room just as Emma was walking up to meet up with him. “Ah, good morning, Emmalyn.” He refrained from saying sweetie and continued asking, “Are you all set for the pool?”

[theshslballerina]

Emmalyn got her hair on the side of face and put it behind her ear, avoiding his eyes and showing a slight blush on her cheeks, "Ah, g-good mornin' Kazuhiko! Yes, I'm ready, I've been getting set all morning. I didn't want to be late for our date. I got my card, do you have your's?" Emmalyn tilted her head, smiling, taking out the card from her front pocket. 

Emmalyn felt anxious, wondering if she was talking too much or too fast, she wanted to keep her cool down and keep herself calm and level headed.

Emmalyn was up most of the night thinking about what to do the next day for her date with Kazuhiko. She was wide awake, staring at the ceiling, feeling her heart pump so loud she was sure that the mics in the room could hear it. She was never this nervous for a recital or play, why was she nervous now? Emmalyn had told herself to be confident! Being a klutz now would be really disastrous at such a crucial time.

Emmalyn had ran scenarios in her over and over, would it be like in the movies, the telly, the books? She thought to herself as she pictured them being regular high school students, those who lead relatively normal lives, joined the same club or maybe even met in the library and off came their love tale. Emmalyn quickly shot the thought away and decided it was time to get some sleep despite it nearly 2 hours until 6 am.

When she had awoke she quickly got up, decided since they were going swimming then maybe a shower wasn't that necessary, she could surely get some perfume. Emmalyn was suddenly hit by what seemed like a thousand bricks and remembered that she needs to wear a swimsuit, going straight out, leaving her door wide open, she went to the storage room and looked deep into the room to find a two piece polka dot swimsuit. Finding it appropriate enough and it looked like it'd fit her, she quickly ran back into her own room and shut the door. She changed in her room and was picking at the details on what to wear over her swimsuit and whether she should pack extra clothes or even if she should pack a lunch! Emmalyn's mind was dizzy from what to do and if she was going to mess up. 

Emmalyn finally thought that maybe she shouldn't and that way they'd get to spend more time together, after all Kazuhiko's cooking wasn't bad right? They could cook together after their swim! Emmalyn got her striped hoodie cover up and wore some khaki colored shorts with some red flip flops. Packing up a simple maroon cardigan with a white tank top, a change of undergarments and a green towel into a gym bag before heading out to meet Kazuhiko.

"Oh thank goodness, you should probably change your clothes though… you don’t want to get sick." Emmalyn heard it on the t.v when she was younger that if you didn’t change wet clothes you’d be really sick. Emmalyn didn’t want to take any chances on Kazuhiko being ill during inside this mad school.

"Should we leave?"

[kazuhiko-shori]

Kazuhiko looked up to Emma, and replied, “Yeah, that’s probably for the best. There’s not much left to look for around here, anyway.” He started walking to the door with Emma, and told her, “I hope I didn’t ruin our exploration of the bath. This is a really poor excuse of a dat….”

Oh shit, think fast!!!

"…a collection trip."

[theshslballerina]

Emmalyn paused a moment, "...Collection trip? I just thought we were exploring, pfft." She shrugged her shoulders and continued on walking, Emmalyn thought to herself about how she should react, she's completely new at this, yet she didn't want to make a fool of herself anymore or make mistakes. 

"Maybe we should take a rest until dinner time!" She exclaimed.

Emmalyn couldn’t help but worry, even though he seemed fine, she felt scared for a moment when she didn’t see Kazuhiko when she turned around. “Oh my…. At least you’re alright! God you got me afraid for a second there.” Emmalyn sighed, feeling relieved. “Do you want me to go see if I could find some towels for you? You’re still soaked.”

[kazuhiko-shori]

"Thank you, Emma. That sounds like a good idea."

They went off to where they came in, and found some towels there. Kazu grabbed one, and used it to dry himself off. He felt a bit better now, not being soaked and all. “Now I feel better.”

[theshslballerina]

"Oh thank goodness, you should probably change your clothes though... you don't want to get sick." Emmalyn heard it on the t.v when she was younger that if you didn't change wet clothes you'd be really sick.

Emmalyn furrowed her eyebrows and gave a worried face, “Are you alright? The bath is really shallow!! You’re not hurt, right?” From the splash she heard, she was afraid that he might of hurt himself badly. Emmalyn knew sometimes accidents happened, she didn’t blame him, but she was awfully curious, “How did you even slip, Kazuhiko? I thought this place was practically clean, unless someone discovered this place and forgot to clean up..”

[kazuhiko-shori]

Kazu laughed nervously. “Hehe, actually I was trying to fix my hair in the reflection, and I…uh, leaned in to far.” He couldn’t help but feel ashamed at his stupidity. It was an honest to god accident, but he still felt guilty. “But I’m fine, at least. I didn’t hit my head or anything.”

[theshslballerina]

Emmalyn couldn't help but worry, even though he seemed fine, she felt scared for a moment when she didn't see Kazuhiko when she turned around. "Oh my.... At least you're alright!
