Chapter 63: Chapter 63: Strange Date (2) *Unedited*

[Third Person's PoV] 

Stephen and Mimosa were walking through the Capital hand in hand. As they were passing through different buildings Stephen saw Mimosa eye a café before looking away. 

"Are you interested?" Stephen asked with a raised eyebrow. 

"Hm?" Mimosa asked, looking at Stephen in confusion. 

"I saw you looking at that store just now, so I was curious if you wanted to go?" Stephen asked. 

"It's not a store, it's a cafe actually, it could wait" Mimosa shaking her head. 

"What are you talking about? It could wait? If you're interested let's go inside." Stephen scoffed as he took her towards it. 

"But are you sure? I was supposed to be giving you a tour?" Mimosa said, tilting her head in confusion. 

"You are giving me a tour, plus this is a date, the point of this is to spend time together. It doesn't matter where we do it now, does it?" Stephen smiled confidently as he led her inside. 

Mimosa's cheeks turned slightly pink, "I suppose you do have a point…" she muttered, subconsciously tightening her grip around his hand as she felt butterflies in her stomach. 

As they went inside, a waitress smiled politely at them and guided them to an available seat by a window. 

As Mimosa sat down she picked the menu in front of her and began kicking her feet with an excited look. 

'Cute…' Stephen thought seeing her excitement, as he looked at the menu he saw different types of cakes and pastries with different kinds of drinks. 

"I take it you like these kinds of things?" Stephen wondered. 

Mimosa was a bit embarrassed to be seen that way as she nodded, "I have a bit of a sweet tooth and this place has one of the best…" 

"So what do you recommend?" Stephen asked curiously as he continued to examine the menu. 

"Now that's a good question…" Mimosa muttered, "I always can't seem to make up my mind when it comes to these things. Since the Macarons are great but so is the chocolate shortcake." 

"Why don't we order two different things and share it between ourselves?" Stephen suggested noticing how much of a hard time she was having picking out an order. 

"Eh? Would that be alright?" 

"I don't mind" Stephen shrugged with a nonchalant expression. 

"Alright then, we'll do just that," Mimosa smiled, "Oh, and you should try these with the Black Tea it would compliment the sweetness perfectly" 

She then back pedaled a bit waving her hands in front of her, "Not that you have to, it's only a suggestion" 

"Don't worry, seeing as you suggested it, I'll give it a try," Stephen said, reassuring her that it was alright. 

When the waitress came back they gave their order and waited.

Outside the Cafe Noelle and Wanda were seen observing them from a distance. Noelle had her hands over her eyes, "I can't make out what they're doing or saying?" 

"Well to me it seems like they're having a great time, Mimosa is laughing while Stephen is talking animatedly with his hands" Wanda said, reporting to Noelle what she was seeing. 

"What?" Noelle asked, looking up towards her, only to see Wanda with Binoculars over her eyes. 

"Where did you get Binoculars!?" Noelle exclaimed, taken aback.

"I borrowed them from Gordon, he was happy to lend them to me" Wanda smiled as she continued observing. 

"Why would Gordon have Binoculars?" Noelle asked in confusion. 

"He likes bird watching…" Wanda chuckled. 

"Give me that, I want to see what they're doing as well" Noelle said as she snatched the Binoculars from Wanda. 

When Noelle looked towards them she saw the waitress appear, handing them their order and then thanking her. 

Her eyes widened as she saw Stephen grab a macaron and feed it to Mimosa who was blushing and still went and took it. 

Noelle let out a low grumble in annoyance, it was Wanda's turn to be curious, so she snatched the binoculars from Noelle. 

She looked through the binoculars and saw a bright red Mimosa pick up a macaron stretching out her hand, shyly feeding it to Stephen. 

Who was laughing at her embarrassment, however she also saw Mimosa began to chuckle, "Woah, those two don't play…" Wanda muttered. 

Noelle stood back up, still annoyed as she muttered, "That's it, I'm leaving" 

Wanda looked towards Noelle as she was walking away and asked, "Aren't you curious if they would kiss towards the end of the date?" 

Noelle froze mid step before turning around and stomping towards Wanda snatching the binoculars she was holding out for Noelle to grab with a smirk. 

She was back on her spot grumbling, "I'm only on the lookout to make sure he doesn't take advantage of Mimosa. She can be a bit ditzy sometimes" 

"Uh huh" Wanda said with a straight expression. 

As Stephen and Mimosa finished with their meal Stephen noticed Mimosa still had a bit of chocolate by the corner of her lips. 

"Here, you still got a bit of chocolate left" He said as he reached out and wiped it with his thumb. 

He then casually licked it off his thumb, Mimosa stood frozen, steam rising from her head. "You…You c-could have just told me" Mimosa stuttered, unable to look him in the eyes as she looked down. 

"You would have wiped it off with a napkin and it would have been a waste of such good chocolate" Stephen said tilting his head in confusion. 

Noelle had a bright red expression as she witnessed the scene, "T-That playboy!" 

"Playboy? Isn't that his fiancé?" 

"I mean look at how smooth he did it! He must have done this a million times already with a million different women" Noelle screeched. 

Wanda looked towards Noelle teasingly, "Would you want to be one of those million women?" 

"Wha–!? N-N-No! A-Absolutely not!" Noelle stuttered turning bright red. 

'Can you be any more obvious?' Both Wanda and Nero thought simultaneously. 

As Stephen and Mimosa exited Mimosa was giggling behind her hand while Stephen had a bright red expression. 

"Why would you think it was proper etiquette to drink tea with your pink out?" Mimosa asked between her giggling. 

"It's just what I've seen and heard… I can't believe I was lied to" Stephen muttered as his ears were turning redder. 

Mimosa only chuckled to chuckle, she reached out for his hand, interlocked their fingers together and leaned on his arm, "I thought it was cute~" She teased, looking at his embarrassed expression with a beaming smile. 

"I'm just glad I found out now before I would have completely embarrassed myself…" Stephen sighed, shaking his head. 

Both Stephen and Mimosa continued with their tour of the capital with their three spectators following behind them.

Chapter 64: Chapter 64: Strange Date (End)

[Third Person's PoV] 

As Stephen and Mimosa walked through the capital, the sky began to darken and the sun dipped below the horizon.

"Yeah, I have an older brother too. He's a Magic Knight as well and is in the Coral Peacock squadron," Mimosa sighed apprehensively.

"Do you not like him or something?" Stephen asked, raising an eyebrow at her tone.

"I mean, don't get me wrong. He's my brother, so of course I care for him deeply, but… he has a way of always getting on my last nerve," Mimosa said, pouting slightly.

Stephen chuckled. "I see, so it's like any other siblings."

"I suppose you're right…" Mimosa said, rubbing the back of her head.

Seeing that it was getting late, Stephen asked, "Want to get dinner together before calling it a day?"

Mimosa, slightly disappointed that their date was ending, nodded in agreement.

"It's a shame we have to call it a day…" she muttered.

Stephen noticed her disappointment and gave her a reassuring squeeze. "Hey, just because this date is ending doesn't mean there won't be others. This is only our first one."

Mimosa smiled as she leaned against his arm. "You're right… It's just that I didn't expect to have such a good time together. It's one of those moments you wish could go on forever."

Stephen, trying to lighten her mood, gave her a teasing look. "You didn't expect to have a good time?"

"No, wait! I didn't mean it like that," Mimosa exclaimed, giving him a panicked look before realizing he was teasing her.

She huffed and pouted. "You know exactly what I meant."

---

Wanda looked bored and tired as she leaned against a wall, her hands in her scarlet leather jacket. Nero, who also seemed done with spying, sat on her head.

Noelle, still leaning over the wall, peered through her binoculars.

"Can we go home? I'm bored, my feet hurt, and I'm hungry. I miss Charmy's cooking," Wanda sighed in exasperation.

"In a minute. They just went into a fancy-looking restaurant and ordered something. This might be their last stop before they call it a day, and we might see if they really kiss," Noelle said, waving her off.

Wanda rolled her eyes. 'I'm regretting this more and more…'

"You know when their date ends, Stephen will teleport away and leave us behind, right?"

"Huh?" Noelle turned to Wanda in surprise.

"That's what I've been trying to tell you," Wanda said with a deadpan expression. "Finral probably already left, and we can't ask Stephen for a ride, or he'll know we've been following him."

Noelle sighed. "Then I'll just order us a carriage to take us back to the base."

"If you say so… So, what are they doing now?" Wanda asked curiously.

"Let's see…" Noelle said, peering through the binoculars. "Their food just arrived. It looks like Stephen ordered some type of steak, and Mimosa got some pasta or something… Uh oh…"

Wanda turned to Noelle, confused. "Uh oh? What do you mean by 'uh oh'?"

Noelle looked at Wanda nervously. "Stephen looks flushed and is swaying side to side. Whatever he ate must have had some alcohol or wine in it."

"So?" Wanda tilted her head, puzzled, while Nero's eyes widened in surprise.

Noelle facepalmed. "I forgot, you weren't around for Stephen's first fiasco. His alcohol tolerance is abysmal, and he turns into a different person when he drinks."

"It can't be that bad, can it? I'm sure I tasted wine in some of Charmy's cooking."

"After the first incident, Charmy started making his food non-alcoholic! We need to go now! We have to save him from embarrassing himself or doing something to Mimosa," Noelle said as she dashed ahead.

A few minutes earlier…

Stephen and Mimosa sat at a fancy table, talking and laughing as they shared childhood stories. A waiter approached, presenting Stephen with a platter of sliced steak adorned with red sauce and Mimosa with a plate of pasta.

Stephen casually ran a piece of steak through the sauce and took a bite. When Mimosa glanced up from her plate, she noticed Stephen swaying slightly, his cheeks flushed as he giggled after hiccuping.

"Stephen?" Mimosa asked, concerned. "Are you alright?"

"Hehehe~ Alright? I'm fantastic, beautiful~" Stephen giggled.

"Huh?" Mimosa responded, taken aback.

Her concern grew when Stephen suddenly started to cry mid-bite. "I feel like the luckiest man in the world. I'm on a date with a beautiful woman, eating steak… It doesn't get better than this, does it?"

"Are you by any chance drunk?" Mimosa asked, disbelief in her tone.

"Pfft, hehehe~ Me? Drunk? Hehehe, you're so funny, Mimosa. Mimosa... Mimosa... Wow, even your name is beautiful~" Stephen said dreamily.

Mimosa's face turned beet red as Stephen took her hand in his, more tears streaming down his face. "Mimosa, I promise to make you the happiest woman in the world!"

Steam practically rose from Mimosa's head as embarrassment took over, especially when she noticed the odd looks they were receiving.

Luckily, Noelle and Wanda arrived just in time, rushing toward them.

"Noelle? What's going on with Stephen?" Mimosa asked, her face still flushed.

"Noelle! Wanda!" Stephen called out, throwing his arms up in excitement.

Stephen giggled, covering his mouth with his hand like a mischievous child. He leaned toward Mimosa and whispered, "Hehehe~ Mimosa, don't tell them, but they've been following us this whole time! It was so cute watching them try to hide... They must be worried about you. You have really good friends."

Mimosa stared at Noelle and Wanda, who turned red with embarrassment. "Let's get him out of here before he says anything else," Noelle grumbled, motioning for Wanda to help. Together, they grabbed Stephen's arms and began dragging him out.

"Wheee!" Stephen cheered as he was pulled along. All three of them were bright red as they exited the restaurant.

"Wait, wait, wait a minute!" Stephen exclaimed, breaking free from their grip. He wobbled over to a waiter. "Here, good sir, this should cover our bill~ and a tip for your service," Stephen said, placing a pouch of coins on the empty platter.

He leaned in and whispered into his ear, "Buy yourself something pretty, hehe~"

"STEPHEN!" Noelle screeched as they hurriedly pulled him away from the confused and weirded out waiter.

Outside the restaurant, Mimosa turned to Noelle and Wanda, concern in her eyes. "Now, can you please explain why Stephen is acting like this?"

"Stephen can't handle alcohol. If he drinks any, he ends up like this," Noelle replied, clearly annoyed.

Stephen waddled over to Mimosa, arms outstretched, tears in his eyes. "Mimosa, can I have a hug, please~?"

Mimosa, looking flustered, let Stephen hug her. Her arms were stretched awkwardly as she glanced at Noelle and Wanda in confusion.

She patted his back hesitantly, and Stephen sighed contentedly. "Ahhh~ this is nice…"

Mimosa's lips curled into a faint smile before turning to Noelle and Wanda. "So how do we fix him?"

"You don't," Noelle said, turning away with a sigh. "He needs to sleep it off, and he'll be back to normal tomorrow."

When Noelle turned back, she saw Mimosa's blissful, smug expression as she continued to hug Stephen, eyes closed and ignoring Noelle's words.

A tick mark appeared on Noelle's forehead as she yanked Stephen away, breaking their embrace. As Stephen was dragged off, his hand stretched out shakily. "Mimosa!~ No!"

Mimosa mirrored his outstretched arms, a disappointed look on her face.

"Why are you disappointed!?" Noelle demanded, noticing her expression.

"But he's kinda cute like this," Mimosa pouted. "He looks so weak and defenseless. I just want to protect him…"

They turned to see Stephen sitting on the ground, sniffling with puppy-dog eyes, arms out. "My Mimosa…"

"Cute~" Mimosa muttered, covering her mouth with her fist as she melted at the sight.

With a serious expression, Mimosa said, "The Golden Dawn base is nearby. Let him stay there to rest, and he'll be returned tomorrow."

"LIKE HELL HE WILL!" Wanda and Noelle retorted in unison.

Mimosa clicked her tongue and turned away with an annoyed look.

"Did you just click your tongue?" Noelle asked, deadpan.

"..."

"No," Mimosa replied with a straight face.
