[Fic] Vongola Seduction 101 (Lambo/I-Pin) (3/9)
Lambo politely excused himself from the dojo and made gagging noises when he was out of earshot. I-Pin would probably kick his ass if he told her he wanted an arranged marriage. How could he be expected to propose when he couldn’t even ask the girl out?
He was mulling over those thoughts when he ran smack into Ryohei. He would have apologized and kept moving, but he realized that Ryohei had something the previous two didn’t. A girlfriend.
“Ryohei! You’re still dating Hana, right?” he asked quickly, completely forgetting to apologize for the collision. Ryohei’s face lit up like a Christmas tree.
“Oh yeah!”
“Do you think I could ask how you and her started dating?” Lambo figured that if his hypothetical question wasn’t working, he would try a different approach.
“Sure!” Ryohei laughed, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. Then his face clouded over and he looked panicked. “Shit, I can’t remember!! She’s going to kill me!” He grabbed Lambo by the shoulders and looked him straight in the eyes. “You must not tell a SOUL. SWEAR you won’t tell her that I forgot how we got together!!” Lambo laughed nervously, but swore to take his secret to the grave. He didn’t want to ruin Ryohei’s agitation by warning him that he wouldn’t be able to hide it forever.
“Well, could I ask you something then?” Ryohei grinned again, but he was still a little tense, like he was expecting Hana to come out from around a corner and confront him about his infidelity to their relationship.
“Of course!”
“What’s a good idea for a first date?” Lambo asked. Maybe if he planned out a good date, the asking part wouldn’t be so nerve-wracking.
“Speed dating!!” Ryohei exclaimed. Lambo choked on his reply. He was expecting something more along the lines of bowling or the movies.
“Speed… dating?” he repeated just to be certain. Ryohei nodded.
“Yeah, you get to know a person really quickly and you’re forced to put your whole effort into impressing your date in five minutes. If you click then you can do more, but if you don’t then you have time to move on!” Lambo didn’t want to move on when he hadn’t even confessed his feelings, and he really didn’t like the idea of his entire relationship with I-Pin being reduced to less time than it took to cook and eat a cup of instant noodles.
Plus, he was pretty sure I-Pin already knew him well enough that the five minutes they would spend getting to know each other would be a total waste of time.
