“When was the last time we went on a date?” Itto asked.
The both of you were at the docks in Ritou overlooking the sunset when you glanced at him, your eyebrows furrowing in confusion as he returned the same look.
“What? I’m just wondering, you know?” he stated simply, causing you to become even more baffled.
“You’re asking when was the last time we went on a date,” you repeated in disbelief.
Itto gave you an incredulous look. “Uh…yeah, that’s what I was asking.” You blinked at him a few times before turning away from him, still perplexed. “Geez (Y/N), why are you acting so weird about my question? I’m just curious.” When you remained silent, Itto returned his attention to the scenery before him, maple leaves framing the view. “I mean…we can go out somewhere. I don’t have much Mora on me, but I promise I can show you a good time,” he paused, his face contorting into a deep frown. “I guess it has been a while since I took you out anywhere to the point you can’t even remember. I’m sorry about that,” he said with utmost sincerity. “Please please don’t get mad, okay? Give me another chance to do better! I’ll be the best boyfriend ever, I promise you!”
A smile tugged on your lips as you mumbled something under your breath, Itto leaning closer to you.
“Wait…what did you say?” he asked as you spoke up once more, trying to control the laughter erupting inside you.
“When did we start dating?”
His eyes widening, Itto suddenly realized that he never officially asked you out on a date. He automatically assumed that you two were an item. It was an obvious fact in his eyes since he took you out everywhere and you enjoyed being in his company, even if he dragged you into trouble from time to time. Well...maybe almost all the time, but you still stuck with him, accepting who he is. Because of that, Itto just thought that he was yours and you were his.
But apparently, that wasn’t the case. Oops.
Noticing how uncharacteristically silent the oni beside you was, you scooted closer to him and nudged his arm. “We can fix this, you know?” you took both of his hands and smiled. “Do you want to go out on a date with me?”
A smile breaking free on his lips, Itto nodded his head eagerly. “Hell yeah! I would love to go out on a date with you…officially,” he added, winking at you.
Giggling, you leaned forward and kissed his cheek.
“Yeah...officially.”
