I should have just gone with her, she would have been safe. My doll, she's been damaged and I only have myself to blame.
"Hey, Takano are you listening to me? Helloooo~ earth to Ta...kaaa....nooooo" a hand waves in front of his face.
"H-huh? oh..sorry..I spaced out a bit...my bad.." He stares at the girls arm. She moves her hand over the bandage on her arm.
"Quit staring at it, your making me self conscience.." She chuckles. " I told you, this happening wasn't your fault. I just should have gone my normal route home. I would have been fine. "
" Dohlia....." He takes her hand into his own, rubbing it. She blushes softly, she tucks some of her hair behind her ear.
" I know you were totally worried and everything, but I promise. I'm completely fine, so stop worrying ok? " She holds his hand.
" Alright, if you say so. Those pink highlights you got are really cute, they suit you." He smirks.
"Hm? These? " She grabs some of her hair and sets it below her nose, making a mustache with it. " Oh hur hur hur....so you like my stache ehh? I didn't know you like your women hairy...." She wiggles her eyebrows.
" Oh shut up..." He laughs. " Also I brought you something today." He puts a medium sized box on top of the table. She looks confused.
" What is it Takano? " She pokes the box slightly.
"Open it and find out. " He taps his finger on the table, with a small smile on his face. She slowly opens the package, gasping loudly.
" OH my gosh, you got me a cake...." She squealed happily. The cake reads congratulations. " Takano, you didn't have to--"
"It's a special occasion.. I had to, I had it custom made just for you. It's barely 3 hrs old. it's probably still warm too." She leans her face over the edge of the box, taking a nice long sniff of the cake's smell.
" That really smells amazing...Takano, you seriously shouldn't hav---" He interrupts her with a kiss, her face lights up as he does.
"That's enough, just enjoy it ok? Happy anniversary....Doliah." He blushes lightly.
"T-Takano...you goof...don't just kiss me so suddenly....it's embarrassing." She looks around slightly flustered.
"But you said you didn't care about public displays of affection Doll." He teases with a sad face.
" Haa! I was only joking!! I didn't think you'd actually do something like that..." She looks down, totally embarrassed.
" You know how quick I am to call a bluff." He smirks.
"Yeah whatever, Hmph!" She crosses her arms and turns away, pouting cutely.
" Aww your not mad at me are you? I'll make it up to you I promise."
" Oh yeah? How? "
" You can come and spend the night with me tonight if you like. " He closes up the cake.
" D-do you really mean it? "
"M-hm...." He looks over at her. " But only if you aren't angry at me, I wouldn't want you going all yandere on me while I sleep." He grins teasingly.
" I-I'm not mad! I was just joking....Takano..could we? Could we please? I think I'd really enjoy that. "
" Sure...wanna go now? "
" No not just yet, I wanna have a few drinks first since were celebrating." She turns back around.
" No. Not if you have any alcohol. You know your not good with that sorta thing. I want your mind to be completely clear so you can remember everything."
"Takano..."
"I wouldn't want you to change your mind half way through." Just like she did. " I....I don't wanna get hurt again , Doliah you know that I---" She cuts him off via a kiss as well.
"Alright Takano. No need for the water works. I won't drink any alcohol then." She wipes his eyes slowly, rubbing his cheeks with her thumbs slowly. " Just calm down ok? Everything's alright, your alright, I'm alright, we're alright. ok honey? " She stroke his hands to comfort him.
"Y-yeah...sorry, I just...Sorry...I'm totally ruining this now.....Fuck..." He grits his teeth , looking away from Doliah.
"Takano..." She stands up , grabbing his hand tightly. "Let's just go. You haven't ruined anything yet. Let's go and complete our anniversary ok? " She smiles softly at him, seemingly putting him at ease.
"Y-yeah.....that sounds nice....let's...." He holds her hand back and grabs the cake..
We left the bar and went back to my apartment. My phone rang a few times but I ignored it. I knew it had to be Shiki, although it hurt me to do so, I had to ignore her for Doliah's sake. I haven't really been spending time with her as of late and I want our relationship to work. She even traveled over here for the weekend just to see me. So the very least I could do was give her all of my attention. She always seemed so fragile and bubbly yet mysterious at the same time. I guess that's what draws me too her. I hadn't noticed how much smaller Doliah is compared to myself until I was ontop of her, really seemed like a life sized doll I was laying with, of course She wasn't just laying there though, she had her fun. We both took a nice hot bath together afterwards, cooked some dinner and now were cuddling in bed. I can feel her breath slowing against me, I'm pretty sure she fell asleep. I pull her a little closer to me , then I cover her with the blanket. I reach over for my phone and sweep through the messages. A message from Sagie and a bunch from Shiki. She has been trying to get in contact with me. I open the messages.
"Yo Takano :o"
"Takano?"
"Takano, what cha doin' "
"hey, why aren't you answering? Is your phone off? "
" I just saw you leave the café' with a cake which one was it? Why didn't you ask for me like you normally do? "
"Seriously why aren't you answering me? "
"Are you ignoring me? Takano? "
"Takano!!!" There was a few hours pause between the messages.
"Fine if you aren't going to answer be that way, I called your job and they told me you were off so Don't even think of using the I was at work all day excuse because it won't work. I feel like your hiding something from me, and were best friends I thought we didn't keep secrets from eachother. But whatever you wanna ignore me fine. Fuck it....Do whatever the hell you want, see if I care. "
I sigh. Shiki why do you always have to assume the worst of me, well yeah I'm sort of hiding something from you but it's for your own good. I neede this me time with Doliah. You may be my best friend but she's my girlfriend and I can't neglect her.
I lean downward and kiss Doliah's forehead.
"I love you Doliah.."
"I love you too Takano..." she wraps her arms around his chest.
"Whoa huh? How long have you been awake?" Blinks slowly.
"Only a few minutes, I heard you murmuring to yourself. I thought something was wrong. " Her dul green eyes catching bright moonlight cutting through my curtains.
" Oh. No nothing's wrong. "
"Don't lie to me Takano, something is bothering you. come on spill the beans."
"I can't...."
"Why not? "
"it's not time yet. But I promise I will tell you what's bothering me ok? " She squints her eyes at me
"I don't like this Takano.."
"I know..." He holds her close to his chest. "But I promise I'll tell you when the time is right...Ok? Please just trust me....." She looks at him intently.
"Alright Takano, I trust you. But I just want you to know you can lean on me if you need too, that's why I'm here....."
"No, the reason your here was so that I could feed you , spoon you and make love to you. My sweet little pumpkin. " He smirks calmly, her face lights up covering it with her hands.
"Why 'd you have to say it like that!! " She whines.
"Hey it's true isn't it? " He looks at her.
"Just shut up already..." She puts her hands on his face. He nips at her fingers softly, making her chuckles softly.
"Alright but could you get a little closer I'm getting cold." He opens his arms as Doliah lays in them.
" I'm glad I waited for this. This was nice Takano. This was the best anniversary yet. "
"Your tellin' me..." He strokes her head softly.
"........." She smiles softly laying in his arm, nuzzling in closer. My sweet little Takano <3

Sorry this took so long, I really got stuck. I'll probably start doing small pics for any new characters introduced. I'll have one set for Doliah at the end of Chapter 6 along with any other new characters! I hope you guys enjoyed and sorry again for the wait. Also this is cannon but it's also filler.
