Hello Yaoi Soldiers!
I was planning to update two chapters this weekend, but I've been busy with other things. Chapter 53 is already written. I just need to double check it and see if the flow is right.
Again, let me know what you think! XD

Finally, we arrived at the ice cream parlor.
As expected, the place is packed.
Kazuo: Misaki, you can let go of my hand now...
Misaki: Oh, sorry. Is it bothering you?
Kazuo: No...there's just...uh...so many people.
Misaki: The line is so long! Do you still want this?
Kazuo: Well, we're already here—might as well wait.
Misaki: Alrighty then.
We just stood there waiting.
I don't know what to say.
What am I going to talk about?
This is getting really awkward.
Kazuo is fidgeting.
Why?
Just looking at him makes me restless too!
I should say something...quick!
Or else he'll be turned off...
Misaki: So...um...
Kazuo: Hm?
Misaki: About last night...I'm sorry for jumping on you. I don't know what has gotten into me, to be honest with you.
Kazuo: That...I don't even know where to begin. Um...It caught me by surprised.
Attendant: I'll take the next customer!
Misaki: Hey, it's our turn.
Kazuo: Oh...so what do you want?
Misaki: Just order for us. I'll eat whatever you choose.
Kazuo: Okay...

Kazuo ordered the dessert, and then we sat down at the table outside.
I sat across from Kazuo.
I didn't know what else to say.
He's just staring at me.
Finally, he broke the silence.
Kazuo: Your eyes are beautiful. It's...uh...unique. They're captivating.
He startled me.
Misaki: Uh...stop staring! It's embarrassing.
Kazuo: Sorry about that. They're just really pretty...
Misaki: You don't have to apologize. It's just that—
Kazuo: What?
Misaki: Your stare makes me feel weird.
Kazuo: Okay, I'm not gonna look at you.
Misaki: Ugh! That's not what I meant...please still look at me.
I mumbled.
I think I'm going to die.
Why am I so flustered?
Kazuo: Um...so last night...
Misaki: I almost forgot about that...
Kazuo: You were just fooling around, right?
He looked away and lowered his eyes.
Misaki: I wasn't joking.
I stood up and slammed my hands on the table.
Misaki: I REALLY WANTED YOUR BODY!
Everyone immediately turned their attention to me.
Misaki: I'm sorry.
Why am I doing these shameless things?
This is getting out of hand.
Kazuo's turns red and starts apologizing to everyone.
Kazuo: He was just kidding. Please don't get the wrong idea.
He pulls me on the side.
Kazuo: Can you tone it down? Geez, you're embarrassing us.
Misaki: I know that! I was just angry that you thought I was joking.
Kazuo: Okay, okay. Just calm down and use your inside voice.
Misaki: Alright, I'll try.
Kazuo: Okay.
Kazuo freed my arm and I sat back down.
Misaki: What do you think about me?
Kazuo: Straight to the point, huh?
Misaki: What do you expect? You said you want to get to know each other first.
Kazuo: Okay, fine. I think you're really cute.
My body stiffened.
Misaki: Really?
Kazuo: Yes. Also, I love your eyes.
Misaki: That's it?
Kazuo: Hmm...physically, yes. That's about it. But hanging out with you yesterday...you seem to be a fun person to be around.
Misaki: I see...
Kazuo: Just to be clear. I'm not gay. You're the only guy I've been attracted to. No one else. I love girls. But there is something about you that's irresistible.
Misaki: You don't have to justify yourself!
Kazuo: I'm just putting it out there, just so we're clear.
He sighed and paused for a moment.
Kazuo: So...how about me? What do you think of me?
Misaki: Okay, you're handsome and have a sexy body. Just like you, there is something that's attracting me to you. It's like a weird phenomenon that I can't explain.
Kazuo: Interesting...I feel the same way towards you.
The server walks to our table and sets the food.
Server: So here's your order of Belgian chocolate waffle with vanilla ice cream and a strawberry custard crepe. Please enjoy!
Misaki: Thanks.
Kazuo: Thank you.
We began eating.
Misaki: This is delicious!
Kazuo: I'm glad you like it.
A few minutes later...
Kazuo: So...Misaki, do you just want me for my body?
Misaki: Um...uh...that's not true! Well, partially true, I also want your heart!
Kazuo laughs.
Kazuo: You're so funny. How can you be this honest?
Misaki: Can I take a bite of your crepe?
Kazuo: Ah, sure. Here.
Kazuo extends his arm while I lean forward.
I took a bite and gently licked his finger.
Kazuo: What are you doing?
Misaki: There's some cream on your finger. I wanted to taste it!
Kazuo falls back.
Kazuo: That's not what I meant. It's dirty.
Misaki: I don't care!
Kazuo: Why did you look at me all sexual like that?
Misaki: I was not!!! You're just a perv—that's why.
Kazuo: At least I'm not this certain someone who jumps on a person who he barely even knows!
Misaki: And that person who got jumped by this certain someone secretly liked it!
He blushed and I laughed.
Kazuo: Uh...ah...just stop!
Unexpectedly, I receive a text from my mom.
Misaki's Mom via text: Misaki! Where are you?! Kenji is here!
Shit!
Why is he there?!
He just went to my house without telling me?!
