Forever Love 82 Posted May 12, 2011 Kairi blinked at that, a little surprised to hear that Sora made a meal for them. But she smiled a bit more nonetheless, nodding. "Of course," she said softly. She didn't want her kitchen being burned down, after all. But Sora was a good cook when he was careful. She was sure the food would be great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peanut 26 Posted May 12, 2011 "So, m'lady," Sora said a bit playfully, turning to stand beside Kairi and offering his arm to her. "May I escort you to your table?" Everything but the shells were set out, and he could easily set those on the table. After that, they would move onto something else fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forever Love 82 Posted May 12, 2011 Kairi giggled a little at Sora's playful personality, taking his arm. "Well of course you may," she said with a nod and a smile. Such a gentleman. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peanut 26 Posted May 12, 2011 Sora's cheesy smile turned a little more genuine as he lifted his other hand and set it on Kairi's hand. He started leading her towards the dining room, walking her through the kitchen and to the table. When he was by her seat, he took his hand off of hers and pulled out the chair for her to sit on.

Forever Love 82 Posted May 12, 2011 Kairi took a step forward and to the side, glancing at Sora before she sat down. "Thank you," she said kindly. She looked at the table once she was seated, seeing some homemade bread out on the table as well as salad and a few flowers. Sora... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peanut 26 Posted May 12, 2011 "Mm," Sora hummed with a small nod, pushing Kairi's chair in gently. "Be right back," he said, lifting a hand and squeezing her shoulder briefly before he went to the kitchen to get the stuffed shells. He knew Kairi liked the food, and so did he, so that was why he made it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forever Love 82 Posted May 12, 2011 Kairi watched Sora go for a second before she looked back at the table. He had a few tulips in a vase to the side of the table, his seat obviously right across from hers. She lifted a hand to the petals and touched them delicately before her sight rested on the salad. It looked delicious, and her favorite dressing was right next to it. Kairi couldn't help but smile. Sora knew her so well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peanut 26 Posted May 12, 2011 Sora opened the oven and then used mitts to carry the food to the table, the shells steaming and cooked so they looked delicious. He set it on the table and glanced up at Kairi, smiling weakly at her before he went back to the kitchen and turned off the oven and took off the mitts. I hope it's as delicious as it looks.

Forever Love 82 Posted May 12, 2011 Kairi blinked in surprise, not expecting Sora to cook stuffed shells. Regardless, they looked delicious, and smelled the same. He's done far too much, she thought with a small smile. All of this, just for her birthday? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peanut 26 Posted May 12, 2011 Sora reentered the room and caught Kairi's expression, the look making him smile as he sat down in his seat. "It's still one of your favorites, right?" he checked, referring to the stuffed shells. Last he checked, she really liked them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forever Love 82 Posted May 12, 2011 Kairi looked up at Sora with the same smile, nodding. "Mm-hm," she hummed softly. "I can't remember the last time I had it." The last time had been with the mayor months ago, on the Islands. Before she was forced to leave because of all the trouble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peanut 26 Posted May 13, 2011 Sora's smile remained, the teen nodding. "Go ahead and dig in, then," he encouraged. He would wait for her to get what she wanted, then he would get some as well. Tonight was about her...and them. She'd find that out later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forever Love 82 Posted May 13, 2011 Kairi's smile grew a little and she took the offer immediately, taking some of the main dish for herself, as well as a slice of bread and some salad. She glanced up at Sora briefly with slightly red cheeks before she reached for the dressing. She was flattered he did this for her; he was so sweet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peanut 26 Posted May 13, 2011 Sora and Kairi enjoyed their dinner, the two of them talking and getting caught up on everything while remaining lighthearted. He wasn't going to let any sorrow creep into their night. He swallowed some water from his glass, glancing out the window and judging the time by that. It was time for them to go.

Forever Love 82 Posted May 13, 2011 Kairi set her fork down, having just finished her meal. It was pretty good, which she was happy about. She knew Sora could make a delicious meal if he didn't goof off with the ingredients. She glanced up at him as she wiped her mouth with a napkin, wondering what he was thinking. It'd been quiet the past minute or so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peanut 26 Posted May 13, 2011 "Kai," Sora finally said, looking away from the window to the girl he loved. "I hate to ask you to work on your birthday, but could you help me clean up? We have somewhere to be after this and I don't want to be late." She didn't know what it was, but she was already properly dressed for it. If she had been wearing a skirt, there would have been a problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forever Love 82 Posted May 13, 2011 Kairi nodded in understanding. "Sure," she said softly, though she was curious as to what else they could possibly be doing. She hadn't expected Sora, so the least she expected was leaving the house after dinner. Regardless, she pushed herself up from her chair, reaching for a few dishes so she could help Sora clean the table. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peanut 26 Posted May 13, 2011 Sora nodded slightly in thanks before he grabbed some items to take to the kitchen, the process of cleaning not taking long since he had Kairi helping him. He put the salad in the fridge after a few minutes, that being the last thing that they had to do. "You ready?" he asked his girlfriend, looking at her.

Forever Love 82 Posted May 13, 2011 "Well, that depends," Kairi said, linking her hands behind her back as she approached Sora. "What do I have to be ready for?" She lifted an eyebrow slightly, though there was a hint of a smile on her face. Where was he taking her, and would he tell her? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peanut 26 Posted May 13, 2011 Sora smirked, prepared to actually tell Kairi. He would tell her this part of the night, since he surprised her with his presence and the dinner. "Horseback riding," he said honestly. There was a nice meadow he explored before, and it would be perfect for them to ride there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forever Love 82 Posted May 13, 2011 Kairi's eyes widened, but not in fear. Instead, they grew in excitement. "Really? Let's go!" She took a few steps forward and grabbed Sora's hand, starting to pull him out of the kitchen. She absolutely loved horses; she always wanted to own one. But now she got to ride one? That was perfect! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peanut 26 Posted May 13, 2011 Sora laughed in amusement, Kairi dragging him out of the kitchen. He knew she would get excited over that, and he loved how her eyes lit up at the idea. He forgot to tell her she was beautiful tonight, but he would correct that mistake soon. He was always going to be with her, calling her beautiful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Forever Love 82 Posted May 13, 2011 Kairi glanced back at Sora before they left the house, the girl making sure to grab her house key before they walked out the door. She then traveled through town with the boy she loved, seeing the stables just on the outside of Radiant Garden. The rural area was better for the horses anyway, and she heard one neigh as they got closer. Kairi instantly smiled, able to see one running across a fenced-in area not too far off.

Peanut 26 Posted May 13, 2011 Sora left Kairi by the fence, going to the man in charge of the stables and letting him know he rented two horses for the night. The man opened the area and picked out one of the horses Kairi had been staring at before he got another for Sora, bringing them back and saddling them up for the couple.

Forever Love 82 Posted May 13, 2011 Kairi watched a few other horses run by, one of them slowing down and trotting right by her. Her smile remained before she turned her head, looking to where Sora went off to. She started over toward him, still wearing his sweatshirt. She didn't plan on taking it off; it was comfortable.
