𝓚—enma was driving very slowly, as if he'd just purchased a brand new car and was afraid of scratching it. Which indicated to [Y/n] that he probably never drove himself anywhere. But that was to be expected since he has someone else to do it for him all the time.
After around thirty minutes of cautious driving, [Y/n] noticed that the location was growing more expensive, which is a common occurrence while traveling with Kenma. Despite this, the woman and her son couldn't help but be impressed by the big, well-decorated structures, which they knew were way out of their shopping range.
As for Kenma, he found himself peering over his shoulder quite a few times to observe [Y/n] and Taiyo marvel at the properties they passed. It was cute.
After a small detour they finally arrived at the restaurant and he opened the car door for both of them as their necks strained to take in the entirety of it all. "This is it." Kenma helped them out the car and once they were out he threw his keys to the vallet man and lead the two inside.
"Woah...." Taiyo had never seen anything like it before.
"It looks better on the inside." Kenma assured.
Better on the inside? And to think that [Y/n] felt the outside couldn't possibly be topped.
"Kenma, I feel really guilty about coming here with you." There was no way you could pay him back.
He interlaced his hand with yours once again, as if it were the most natural thing in the world for him, which definitely was not the case. But his game plan for tonight was to just fake it until he finally made it. "You shouldn't," He assured you.
They began walking to the entrance when after a couple steps or so Kenma noticed Taiyo wasn't within eyes range. He turned around and saw the toddler trying his hardest to keep up. "I'm coming!" Taiyo tried speeding up.
Kenma had to let go of your hand in order to take up the youngster. He would have left it to you, but with those shoes, you wouldn't be able to maintain both your weight and Taiyo's.
"Mommy...the walls are made out of glass." Taiyo was amazed since he'd never seen anything like it.
"Yeah baby, they are." She giggled.
Upon entry [Y/n]'s eyes immediately widened when she noticed the golden plaque behind the receptionist which read "Bouncing Ball Coorp." Kenma, ironically, had his own restaurant franchise. The man loves food, don't get him wrong. But what does he know about restaurants? Absolutely nothing. Can he afford one though? He sure can.
Kenma set Taiyo down and everyone in the room directed their gaze to the unfamiliar two but Kenma was the least bit fazed. Meanwhile, Taiyo was attempting to conceal himself behind his mother's hand, and a part of [Y/n] wished she could have done the same. Kenma peered over to them to make sure they were doing okay but it was quite clear to him that was not the case.
"Hey...uh, I have a reservation?" Kenma spoke to the woman behind the front desk.
She peered over the desk and looked behind the woman Kenma had brought in. "No kids allowed..." she explained.
Who made that up? Did he make that up? When did he make that up? "Why not?" He questioned.
"Against the rules." She pointed towards a well decorated sign with all the rules layed out.
"Well...I kind of made the rules." Did it matter if he brought a kid inside his restaurant?
"But my supervisor...." She didn't want to loose her job.
"I supervise your supervisor??" What kind of injustice system was this? It's not like he wasn't paying for his food, just let him in.
Why was she even questioning him? "My name is literally right there in the fine print." It clearly says 'Established by Kenma Kozume.'
"But you told us no kids sir..." she wasn't understanding.
"Yeah well this is my kid." He didn't care about everyone else's. "Mine is fine, don't let anybody else's in." Sometimes it was okay to be a Hypocrite.
"Uh..." well that certainly cleared up some confusion for her. "Sorry for the inconvenience, right this way." Because of their table's position, they had to travel a different route away from the rest of the restaurant..
Finally.
"Thank you." He was glad that she wasn't as dull as she was making it seem.
The receptionist guided them towards the private room on the rooftop that Kenma had reserved and whiles they were all walking [Y/n] stopped to deal with a defect in her shoe. Kenma used this split second of opportunity to bend down and tell Taiyo to walk ahead of them so that he could watch him. Of course that wasn't actually why, but it was believable right?
Taiyo walked ahead and Kenma stood back up to trail behind with [Y/n]. "Hey," he spoke.
"Hey," she smiled. "Why'd you stop walking?" The lady and Taiyo were almost out of eyesight.
"I wanted to wait for you," he shrugged.
"Oh," that was sweet of him. "Thank you."
"No problem, can you walk? Be honest this time." The way you were stopping every two seconds it didn't seem that way.
"No, not really." You came clean. The shoes were too high, and skinny, and the polished tiles weren't making it any easier for you.
"I figured. Can I help?" This is why he stayed behind anyways. [Y/n] seemed like she could really use it.
"If you'd like to, but I can manage on my own." It wasn't anything too difficult. It's mostly because you had to stand there for so long whiles Kenma was dealing with his little situation at the front desk. Now your feet were hurting.
Kenma stood beside you a put and arm on your lower back to steady you. "Hold onto me." He instructed.
"Okay..." you managed to mumble out. "Thank you."
The both of you began walking, and Kenma would frequently look down at the woman besides him and smile.
"What are you so smily about?" You laughed lightly as you caught him looking for the third time.
"I was thinking about something." He hummed.
"About what?"
Kenma's hand on your lower back went down just a little bit, "You really want to know?"
[Y/n] looked up at him. "Yeah...At least I think I do."
He came to a gradual halt and drew his face closer to your ear so he wouldn't have to say it out loud.
"You can't walk properly and I guess it kind of...gave me some ideas." It was embarrassing to admit.
"Oh? I g-gave you ideas?" That was a first for her. But now that he'd admitted it to you, everything was starting to make sense. "What kind of ideas?"
"Just ideas." He didn't specify.
"Is that why your hand keeps going lower?" You casually called him out without realizing.
"Maybe." he answered. Is that a bad thing? Too far? Too soon?
Kenma's hand began to withdraw to its original position on her lower back just incase but [Y/n] stopped him. "I don't mind you know." She spoke, "You can put it back."
"Oh...okay." Kenma put his hand back on her ass. Should he say thank you or something? Or was that weird?
"We should probably start walking again." You suggested since Taiyo was most likely looking for you by now.
"We should..." he agreed.
"Or we could like makeout or something."
"What?"
"Nothing."
