@strawb3rrykream - I cannot say how long Risa has been in love, you shall just have to hope that I tell you at some point
Yeah, right Gaki! I totally believe that you weren't thinking about Kame eating your.....muffin
After I read this I was laughing for so long
@ShikyoXYaiba - Risa is the princess (prince?) of consideration
@Yuuyami - OKMG, you're right! I never knew Aya had a mole there... but then again, I'm not a big Aya fan
Rationality cannot be kept when Eri is around
@kawaii beam - I shall try my best
@JFC - Woohoo! Someone knew what scene I was referring to when I talked about the crepes! Muffin for you
Lucky as in good things happen to her when she wears them. But if you want, you can use the other lucky as well
@Blubber-Nugget - You probably missed it because I forgot to change the title to "One Week [Day Two]" Soorry about that, my bad
I'd day that it'd be pretty easy to get distracted if you were cooking with Eri
@lil_hamz - I still want to hear that song! I don't care who sings it!
A side story might not be a bad idea
Thanks, I didn't think that I was making them cute enough! (Is it even possible to make them cuter?!)
@ringo-hime - lol at all of the monkeys used in the last quote!
@Sukoshi - Nope, me fangirling over you is the right order
One Week = the only place where you can think "That's grossly funny"?
@anuskyna -
Your comment made me laugh
@hotohori - Yay! Another GakiKame fan!
I seem to have made a few people GakiKame fans... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day Four
I turned my head to Eri, watching as she intently gazed at a small group of sleeping arctic foxes. One of the babies yawned, stretching it jaw wide open to show its baby teeth. Eri squealed.
“It’s so cute! I want to hug it!”
“So do I!”
We both continued to longingly watch the sleeping family. Occasionally one of them would move but that was about as much as they did. We decided to move onto the next exhibit and leave the foxes to sleep. We laughed as we watched a male peacock spreading out his colourful feathers to try and show off to a female but falling instead. I felt kind of sorry for the bird but that didn’t stop the fact that it was funny. Grabbing my hand, Eri lead me to a near by exhibit that was filled with deer. I noted the man nearby selling corn kernels and bought a bag for me and Eri. We were at a petting zoo/ zoo so we may as well take up the chance to feed the animals while we’re here. Taking a few handfuls each, we let the deer eat the corn.
“It tickles!” she said as a deer licked her hand, eating the offered food.
I smiled at her and put my hand out to a deer that was in front of me. It began to eat the corn. I let out a yelp when I felt its teeth nip at my fingers.
“Wuah!”
I retracted my hand quickly. Lifting my fingers to my face I searched for any damage. I felt my face colour when I heard Eri giggling at me.
“Maybe it was hungry for some beans,” she said.
“Well this bean needs all of its body pieces.”
“You must be a strange bean.”
“Not strange, just top of the range.”
“You’re silly, Risa-chan, but I like that part of you,” she commented, a red tinting her face. I gave a reassuring smile to her. We finished feeding the rest of the kernels to the deer.
“There’s no more left Mr. Deer. Gochiso-sama,” Eri said to the deer. I walked over to her and the deer.
"Wasn’t it
deer-icious?” she joked. I face palmed, but smiled at the same time. The deer looked at Eri quizzically while she giggled at her joke.
“Aho.”
The rest of the morning passed by quickly, and our hunger began to kick in. Laughing is more tiring than it sounds. We stopped for lunch at one of the small restaurants. I paid for both of our drinks and Caesar salads. Sitting down at a table for two outside, we began to eat and talk… well, not at the same time.
“Those monkeys were so hyper!”
“Or just crazy,” I said. I smirked when I saw Eri’s expression. She wore a cross between a pout and smile and the expression in her eyes was one of “Oh ha ha, very funny’. I took another mouthful of salad.
“Is there any exhibit in particular you want to see after?” I asked after I had swallowed my salad.
“The penguins?”
“Those things smell so bad!”
“But they’re cute.”
“You have a point. Okay, we’ll go there next,” I said.
I couldn’t help but smiled as I watched several penguins slide into their pool on their stomachs.
“That looks fun,” Eri commented.
“It does, doesn’t it?”
“We should try it sometime!”
I stared at her.
“How, exactly?”
“In swimsuits, get wet and go down a slide!” she explained.
“I suppose that would work…” I trailed off when I thought of Eri in a bikini. She could slide on me anytime. Ahh! I always seem to let my mind drift to those sorts of things lately… It’s not my fault or anything; Eri keeps saying things that make me think that. It’s not my fault at all! Turning my head away from Eri to keep my blush hidden, I looked back at the penguins.
“Hey, see that penguin over there? The one that’s playing by itself in front of all the other penguins? It reminds me of you,” I said, gesturing to the spinning penguin.
“How’s that?” Eri asked.
“Well, it looks like you when you make a joke and you’re the only one who gets it and the mood goes all cold,” I explained.
“But my jokes are funny!”
“And that penguin is a seal,” I teased. “But don’t worry, you’re way,
way prettier than that penguin,” I said flirtatiously.
“Thanks for the sentiment,” she said. “I’d be worried if I wasn’t.”
“Why? Because you’d think that you’re not pretty?” I asked.
“No, silly,” she said, “Because I’d begin to worry for your sanity.”
After leaving the penguins and their fishy smell behind, we headed to one of the zoo’s main exhibits; the white Bengal tigers.
“They’re so beautiful,” we both said at the same time as we watched a white Bengal tiger groom another one. Spotting us, it got up and stretched, raising its head. It was going to roar. A loud roar echoed in our ears. Eri let out a scream and jumped back in shock, landing on her butt. I turned to face Eri, clutching onto my side. I laughed in amusement at her shocked face.
“Ahaha! Y-Your fa-f-face!” I exclaimed. Suddenly, the sound of another roar filled the air. It was much closer. I screamed louder than what Eri had and ran. I turned around when I was a distance away and saw that the tiger had been a mere twenty metres behind me. I put a hand to my racing heart. I looked over at Eri and saw her literally rolling on the ground laughing.
“Bwahaha! Y-You should h-ha-have seen
your f-f-face!”
My face was probably redder than a tomato.
Stupid tiger.
Spotting a gift shop, we decided to go in. Looking around, something of interest caught my eye. The item seemed to have caught Eri’s attention as well because she grabbed a different type of the same item.
“I’ll wear that if you wear this,” I bargained.
She agreed and we switched the items. I put on the puppy ears, tail, collar, and paws. Looking up, I nearly fainted from the cuteness that was in front of me. Eri was wearing cute kitten ears, matching paws and tail, and a bell tied around her neck. She posed and said ‘Nya’. I played along and barked playfully. We decided to buy the sets that the other had chosen for each other. Bags in hand, we left the shop and continued on.
Before I knew it, it was time to go. Walking hand in hand, we exited out of the zoo. I walked Eri to her bus stop and waited with her.
“I had lots of fun today,” Eri said.
“So did I. How are you-“
“Shh, I told you before that that doesn’t matter at the moment.”
“Sorry,” I apologised. I saw Eri’s bus pulling in to the bus stop.
“Goodnight,” I said giving her hand a gentle squeeze. A kiss here would be way too risky.
“Night night, Risa-chan.”
She squeezed my hand back before letting go of it and boarding the bus. I watched as her and the bus disappeared into the darkening distance. I breathed in the cool evening air before beginning to walk home. I’ve always liked walking, it’s relaxing and it gives me time to reflect on my day. I smiled as I recalled the day’s events. If only this would last forever. Day four was now over.
Three more days left.
