Chapter 11

*That Following Sunday*

Like promised, Nikei arrived at 12:30, in front of Hope's Peak wearing different clothes like he was told to as he looked around for the others. "Now where are they..?" He mumbled before being pulled into a bush from behind. Before he could scream, he saw it was Kokichi.

"Relax! It's just me!" Kokichi said pulling down his mask. "You look pretty good! Except why do you wear coats all the time?? Doesn't it get hot??"

"Not really....are Satsuki and Haruhiko here yet?" Nikei asked

"Nope! I got here a while ago so I just been waiting!" Kokichi smiled as Nikei noticed he had a drawstring bag on his shoulders. Before he could ask, Kokichi noticed Satsuki and Haruhiko looking near the gate for them.

"Over here, guys!" Kokichi said waving as they came over.

"Sorry we were late, we had things to do," Haruhiko said to them.

"Is she the "things" you were doing?" Kokichi said with a smirk as they both went red. "Just kidding! We should keep an eye on them! It's almost time!"

After Satsuki and Haruhiko both shook off their blush, they all hid as they waited for the two to come. Teruya was the first to arrive, wearing a pretty good outfit as he waited, humming a tune while doing so. It was 1:15 when Mikado arrived.

"Ah, Teruya!" Mikado said as Teruya turned around, the team looking to see, as all of them were shocked to see what Mikado was wearing.

Mikado was wearing a purple coat, white undershirt and black pants. He had his white gloves on still and his hair was up in a small ponytail, as he wore his glasses. Teruya was blushing as he stared at Mikado.

"Holy cow...! He really cleaned up" Nikei whispered to the others.

"Yeah! He's not even wearing his mask!" Kokichi pointed out.

"Sorry I was late..." Mikado told Teruya.

"I-It's fine, did something happen?" Teruya asked.

"Well...it's a long story..." Mikado then began to explain what happened.

*Flashback!*

Mikado was in his room, mentally freaking out on what to wear! He had never been on a date or even hung out with someone before, so he didn't know what to wear. He groaned in frustration as he then heard a knock at the door. He went to answer it, seeing Setsuka, Hibiki, Kanada, Sora and Yoruko.

"Hey guys, what's up?" Mikado asked.

"We're here to help you out!" Hibiki said with a smile.

"Huh?" Mikado was confused.

"Your date's in an hour or so right? We wanted to help you get ready! And judging that you seem stressed, you haven't found something to wear" Yoruko said.

"Ah...yeah" Mikado couldn't lie to them.

"Then leave it to us! We'll help you out!" Setsuka said with a smile as they came in. "Alright, let's see what you got!" 

*Flashback over...*

"I didn't think it'll take that long but they wanted me to look my best..." Mikado sighed.

"Well, they definitely helped..." Teruya mumbled blushing.

"Huh?" Mikado looked over at him, not hearing him.

"N-Nothing, we should get going!" Teruya told him as he led the way. "I know this great place to eat that's not too far from here," 

As Mikado and Teruya chatted and made their way, Nikei decided to question what Kokichi was carrying in his bag.

"Kokichi, what's in the bag?" Nikei asked.

"Ah, lemma show you!" Kokichi said as he pulled out some obviously tall books and newspapers.

"Eh? What are those for?" Satsuki asked.

"To hide behind while we watch them eat! It'll make it easier for us to not get caught!" Kokichi explained.

"Oooo that is useful! Nice job Kokichi!" Haruhiko said.

"Thanks!" Kokichi said stuffing them back into his drawstring bag and putting it over his shoulders before seeing the couple arrive at a corner street cafe, which wasn't far from the mall in their area. It looked pretty nice.

"Looks like it's our turn to go in everyone| Kokichi smirked, putting his mask back on as they headed in.

"Satsuki, remember not to get too excited. If they find us, we're screwed" Haruhiko told his girlfriend.

"I know!" Satsuki said as they got a seat not too far from the couple, who were sitting near a window, chatting with each other. Kokichi and Nikei shared a newspaper while Haruhiko and Satsuki shared a book as they listened in.

"So you can perform magic right?? Can I see some?" Teruya asked.

"Well, sure!" Mikado said snapping his fingers as a red magic circle appeared, as he made a fire in the shape of a flower appear, as it soon disappeared.

"Woah!" Teruya was amazed.

"Here's another one," Mikado said, leaning and grabbing what seemed to be nothing from behind Teruya's ear, but he pulled out a rose for him. Teruya blushed as he smiled.

"Thanks," Teruya said, taking the flower. "Your magic is really cool, you're lucky to have such a neat talent!"

"You think so..? Well, your talent is cool too. Being the Ultimate Merchant, you must be good at business management" Mikado said.

"Yeah...I learned from the best, my dad. He taught me everything since I was a kid. I want to take over our store once I finish studying at Hope's Peak" Teruya said.

"That's so sweet...I'm glad you have such a nice father," Mikado smiled as Teruya blushed more. Soon the waiter came and took their orders while the spying team discuss among themselves.

"Boooo this is boring! Those two just need to admit their feelings for each other! It's so obvious!" Kokichi said.

"We can't rush it Kokichi, we just have to watch them and see where things go," Nikei told him as he did take a couple of pictures for good blackmail.

"I agree with Nikei, something interesting is bound to happen," Haruhiko added.

The date continued normally otherwise. They chatted as Mikado performed some other tricks as they ate. After they split the bill and paid, they headed back to in front of Hope's Peak.

"This was really nice..." Mikado told him with a smile.

"Yeah..." Teruya said smiling back as they both seemed to have something on their mind.

"I want to ask you something," They both said at the same time, which surprised both of them, causing them to laugh.

"You can go first..." Mikado told Teruya.

"W-Well..um...I was thinking..." Teruya stuttered, taking the other's hand as Mikado blushed. "I really...really like you..and I want to go out with you...as your boyfriend."

Nikei was recording the entire thing on his phone as the team, especially Satsuki was getting excited.

Mikado blushed as he gently held the other's hand. "Yeah...I was going to ask the same thing...I would love to be your boyfriend."

Teruya's smile grew wider as he picked up the other and spun him around. "I'm so glad!" Teruya smiled as Mikado giggled.

After setting down Mikado, Teruya leaned in. "C-Can...I-?" He asked, but didn't need to even finish his sentence as Mikado leaned in and kissed the other softly on the lips.

Teruya went quite red as he kissed the other back.

Satsuki couldn't contain herself as she squealed, a bit too loudly, which the two heard as they jumped, pulling away from each other.

"D-Did you hear that?" Mikado asked.

"Yeah...and I have a feeling I know who it is!" Teruya said going to the bush the group was hiding behind as he saw the four of them.

"Shit...." Nikei said trying to hide his phone.

"N-Nikei?! K-Kokichi?! What are you guys doing??" Mikado asked, upset and pretty angry.

"Uhhh it's not what it looks like..." Kokichi said simply as the group backed up.

"Damnit Satsuki, why did you have to get us caught like that??" Nikei said to Satsuki.

"I couldn't help it, it was too cute!" Satsuki retorted back.

"So you were spying on us! I had a feeling someone was staring at us during the date!" Teruya said angrily.

"Hey, we were curious!" Haruhiko told him. "But I think we should make a run for it so if you excuse us-" he said quickly as they all dashed off

"Get back here!" Teruya yelled as they chased them.
