Dawn of Eve 13

Dawn of Eve
Ch. 13
Date

Reala looked over to the girl now walking next to him. Eve's eyes were closed, she was smiling, and was happily eating her ice cream, not seeming to notice that she was getting it all over her face. Reala chuckled, causing her to look up. Her confused face plus the ice cream on it almost made Reala laugh again; why was she so cute?-...he didn't just say cute again, did he? Eh, whatever, it was the best word to describe  her.

Reala had thought long and hard about what they'd do on the date as they walked to the Dream Gate, but had ended up deciding to take her to a park. He wasn't sure how well she'd take to a restraunt or dancing club setting, and he KNEW she would get freaked out by a movie theater (heck, she hadn't even been introduced to the TV yet), so a walk through the park seemed like the logical choice. There wouldn't be too many people out, and there were no loud noises or weird mechanical things that would be likely to jump out and scare her. They had come across an ice cream vendor, and after trying (and failing) to explain it to Eve, Reala finally just got her one so that she could try it for herself. She instantly loved it, so now they were walking through the park, Eve getting mint chocolate-chip ice cream all over her face.

“Eve.” Eve turned when she heard Reala say her name again. She raised a brow when he pulled a tissue out of his pocket and motioned her forward. She moved closer, and he started wiping the ice cream off her face. She blinked, than began squirming, trying to get him to stop, or at least get it away from her face. That thing tickled!

“Eve, hold still!” Reala grumbled, grabbing the back of her head in an attempt to get her to stop moving. She instantly froze, unfamiliar with the sensation of being held like that. She blushed her strange green blush; when did she let him get that close?
“There, all done.” Reala said, backing away and breaking her thoughts. She brought a hand up to her cheek, and found all the ice cream wiped away. She blinked, than looked away, still blushing lightly. Reala raised a brow, but didn't say anything.

They stayed silent and continued walking like that for another hour or so, content with just observing their surroundings. Eve smiled, and latched onto Reala's arm. Reala looked down at her, thinking, before pulling his arm out and simply wrapping it around Eve's waist, pulling her closer. Eve blinked in surprise, but didn't protest against the gesture, and snuggled into his side.
“What do you think the others are doing back at the house?” Reala asked, honestly forgetting that she couldn't talk.
Eve shrugged, than continued snuggling into Ree's side.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Meanwhile, back at the house...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Jackle, I'm sorry, but the only way we can get you down is if we cut your cape open-”
“NOOOOO! ME NO LIKEY!! ME NO LIKEY!!!” Jackle wailed. Hanyuu, NiGHTS, and Myu all groaned. They had tried every other method of getting Jackle off the ceiling, but they couldn't make him budge. They finally were down to the last resort: cutting his cape open, letting the idiot fall out, and then ripping the remains out. And Jackle wasn't cooperating.
“Jackle, please! We need this room to make my magic stick in, and we can't do it with you on the ceiling! That, and you have like 7 more of those cloaks downstairs in the laundry!” Myu pleaded, having come down from her cough syrup high.
“But none of those bring out my eyes like this one!” Jackle whined.
“They're all the same!” NiGHTS yelled, starting to get annoyed.
“Noooooo! Me no wanna-”

“OWWIE! I Hate shots...” Jackle slurred, before falling asleep. NiGHTS and Myu both turned and saw Hanyuu with the peashooter from earlier.
“...Hanyuu?”
“Gillwing tranquillizers. Now get the scissors.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Back with Ree + Eve...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“...Meh, they're probably fine.” Reala decided, shrugging.
Eve nodded in reply, eyes drooping slightly. Without warning, she hoisted herself into Reala's arms and wrapped her own around his neck.
“Eve, what-?!” Reala began, but Eve yawning cut him off. After she stopped yawning, she looked at him sleepily, silently asking him to carry her back to  the house.
“...Sure, might as well. It is getting kind of late.” Reala relented. Eve smiled slightly, before settling down and falling asleep on his shoulder.
As soon as he was sure she was sleeping, he took off into the air, flying slowly to avoid waking her up. Unfortunately, because of this he had to fly lower to the ground, so he could hear all the comments pointed in his direction.
“Aw, that's so cute! I remember when we were like that!” a random couple 'aww'-ed as Reala flew past.
“Aw, that's so sweet! Of course, back in MY day, holding hands was enough!” some random old lady cooed. Reala rolled his eyes.
“Shame, shame, shame...” some random monk muttered, bowing his head down in some sort of prayer. Reala just shot him a 'what-the-hell?!' look, before flying higher, heading for the house.
