[ Shokudaikiri's known Ichigo for some time now. He met him during their first year and right away he was charmed by those princely good looks of his. Not only that, but he had a warm personality to go with it. Many people in the school found him hard to resist, so he never really thought he had a chance with him, but after a while, even hiding his feelings started to get too tough.
He finally approached Ichigo one day after school, before he had to go pick up his brothers and asked him out It was one of his friends who was tired of seeing him silently pining for him that made him do it. He had no faith that Ichigo would actually say yes to a date, so he was entirely surprised when he actually did. (did he even realize it was a date date???)
So now he stood in front of a local fountain, adjusting his clothes every few seconds, fussing with his hair... It was almost embarrassing to watch how nervous he was. He ended up showing up to their meet up spot 20 minutes early on accident... He was just so excited for this day. ]
[Awataguchi Ichigo didn't have time for dating. He'd already gently turned down a number of love confessions and politely replied to letters from secret admirers. He simply had no time for these things as he was trying hard to balance his school work (he somehow managed to constantly get top grades) with having to care for a horde of younger brothers since both his parents worked overseas. They did live with an uncle, but his uncle wasn't really too good at caring for children, so Ichigo had taken it upon himself to be his brothers' primary caregiver.
Ichigo wasn't really too sure why he'd agreed to go out with Shoukudaikiri. Maybe he just needed a break. He did like Shoukudaikiri after all and had always thought he was really cool, plus Shoukudaikiri had always been really nice to him and was always sharing delicious homemade treats with him. Ichigo thought of him as a good friend and didn't really realize this was a date date... His more perceptive brothers, Yagen and Midare, (who had noticed how Shokudaikiri had always looked at their big brother) had suggested that it was probably a date date though and that made Ichigo wonder if they were right. He also found that he was okay with it being a date date, but what if it was just a friendly date...?
Well, whatever type of date it was, he'd already arrived at their meeting place and spotted Shokudaikiri.]
Shokudaikiri-kun!
[He hurried over with a bright smile.]
Sorry to keep you waiting! Have you been here long?
[And there was a faint fragrance of sweet strawberry-scented perfume about him as Midare had surprise sprayed some on him right before he left and Ichigo didn't have time to wash it off... He'd deal with his brother when he got home.]
[ He jumped a little when he heard his name being called out, giving himself one last adjustment to his clothes and what not before he took a few steps toward Ichigo with a smile. For a moment he was able to keep up that cool look of his, as if he was unaffected by the atmosphere of everything, but then Ichigo shined that bright smile of his and he felt his heart beating like crazy. ]
I only just got here a few minutes ago myself.
[ Which was a lie, but he didn't want Ichigo to know how early he arrived... cough ]
[He looked a little confused by that remark though.]
Well, I did promise to come... [He was someone who kept his word after all! He smiled again.] I’m glad that you’re happy!
[Then because the question of what sort of date this was nagged at him and he wanted to make sure there was no confusion. And partly because he had absolutely no experience with dating... He looked up at Shokudaikiri rather innocently and asked...]
Shokudaikiri-kun, does this mean you are my boyfriend now?
[ Shokudaikiri.EXE has stopped functioning. Please give him a moment to reboot. ]
B-Boyfriend??
[ If he were actually drinking something right now he might have choked on it, because the question took him completely by surprise. He had fully intended for this date to be... well a romantic one, but with the way Ichigo turned everyone down usually, he only intended to see how Ichigo enjoyed this time with him to see how he'd progress.
Now Ichigo was asking if they were boyfriends, and with that innocent look on his face too. His cheeks were definitely heating up as he tried to snap himself out of it. ]
How...would you feel about us being boyfriends? Does the idea bother you...?
[That was certainly an interesting expression on Shokudaikiri’s face and his reaction was stronger than he’d thought.. Ichigo wondered if perhaps he shouldn’t have asked. But he’d wanted to make sure they were both on the same page before they started.
He shook his head and smiled sweetly.]
No, it doesn’t.
[Then he looked a little shy.]
I’ve never thought about things like this before... but I do like you a lot and you’ve always been so kind and nice to me. I think you would make a very good boyfriend. But if you don’t feel the same, I understand...
I... was honestly hoping I could win you over. I didn't expect to do so now, but I was honestly hoping there was something I could do to win your affections...
[ Looking a bit shy himself, he slowly reached out his hand for Ichigo to grab if he'd like. ]
Your smile caught my attention a long time ago, and as I got to know you... I found myself finding more and more about you I was so charmed by.
Edited (i can type somtimes) 2019-09-25 02:17 (UTC)
[Ichigo took his hand in both of his as he bowed his head to hide the light blush on his cheeks.]
... well, you have succeeded. And you succeeded a long time ago but I didn't want to think about it as I felt it would distract me too much from my responsibilities. But my brothers are older now so...
I can't really fault you for that. It's another thing I found incredible about you. When I found out about your brothers and how you always wanted to rush home or rush off to their school to see them home... I always found that charming.
[ Shokudaikiri laughs softly, feeling himself even more embarrassed with the way Ichigo was acting. How could he be even more cuter than he'd realized? ]
Your eyes always light up when you talk about them you know.
They do mean a lot to me, but I was afraid other people might find them troublesome as they can be... very energetic.
[He smiles back gratefully at that and reaches up to lightly touch his cheek.]
Thank you, Shokudaikiri-kun. You really are so wonderful. And I would love that. I really enjoy your cooking... I've always treasured all the little treats you've shared with me.
[ He thought he had finally calmed down enough when he started trying to convince Ichigo, but as soon as that hand touched his cheek and he leaned into it out of habit, he felt his cheeks start to heat up once again. Their first date hasn't even started yet technically and he already felt like Ichigo has swept him off his feet without even doing anything. ]
I enjoy making things for you... You make this really cute face and it gets harder to resist you every time you do.
[ oops... Maybe he was a little too honest. He hadn't meant to make Ichigo look that flustered over his comment, but a small part of him was glad. Seeing Ichigo this flustered just like he was, meant they were on an even playing field so to speak. ]
See? There you go again with these cute faces of yours.
[ He smiled a little and reached out, not wanting to be too forward, he instead gives Ichigo's shirt a gentle tug. ]
[Ichigo peeped out at him through the gaps of his fingers at the tug. Part of him so wanted to hide his face against him so that no one else would be able to see how pink his face was, while the other part kind of wanted to hear more.]
Shoudaikiri-kun... ...you really think I'm that cute...?
[ If he was a more forward person he might have just scooped him up and take him somewhere more private. Instead he gave him a flustered looking smile and held out his hand to him once more. ]
I've only ever wanted to show you my cool sides, but when it comes to your cuteness, it seems every uncool thing possible just wants to come out instead.
[ Now that he has Ichigo's hand again, he gives it a gentle squeeze before he turns to start walking. Sorry, Ichigo but he's not letting go of that hand now. ]
No one else, huh...? Only if you promise to show me more of your cute side then.
[And Ichigo doesn’t mind at all and follows after him.
His blush turns a little pinker as he nods.]
... I promise. And yes, no one else because....
[He moves a little closer because what he wants to say is so terribly embarrassing that he wants to hide a bit against him, but he can’t really do so since they’re moving but he’ll try anyway!]
... because Shoku... because Mitsutada-kun belongs to me now and I belong to Mitsutada-kun.
[ This was only their first date and he already felt like he asked him to marry him in some sort of way. Not that it seemed to bother Shokudaikiri at all. He's wanted to get more of Ichigo's attention for a long time, even though he was always too nervous to act on this feelings. He didn't want to do anything that might ruin what they had before. If he knew back then that Ichigo might feel this strongly for him, he might have acted a little sooner..!
Laughing softly, he gives Ichigo's hand a squeeze and slows his walking so they could walk side by side. ]
I had plans... to maybe walk around and see if there was anywhere you might want to go but now.. I just want to find a quiet place to be with you more.
[Ichigo has had to repress certain feelings and urges for a very long time, so you have no idea what you've potentially unleashed, Mitsutada!
Ichigo smiled up sweetly at him and leaned lightly against him as they walk.]
... a quiet place...? [His mind immediately went to... interesting places! He presses his flushed face slightly against Mitsutada's arm.] Isn't it a bit too early in the day for that...?
[ His face started to heat up a little more when he caught onto what Ichigo thought he meant. Mitsutada cleared his throat. He really wanted to show him his cool sides, but he swears the start of this date has only brought out his embarrassing sides. ]
A-ah... not quite what I meant. Though, that doesn't mean I don't want to keep sticking close to you.
[ He laces their fingers together, giving his hand another gentle squeeze. ]
Oh... [That certainly was embarrassing! He presses his face more against Mitsutada's arm, too shy to look up at him.] Where are you planning on taking me then?
[Then he adds in a whisper.] Though... I'm not opposed to.... the other thing... if you want to.... later...

Ichigo, this is just a first date. You're not getting married!]no subject
[ His smile is soft and his eye that was showing was warm. He didn't want to give Ichigo any wrong impressions because he liked him so. ]
To be honest, I've thought about sending you home with extra food plenty of times, but.. I wasn't sure if that would seem pushy or something...

Well, then can you promise me that you’ll show your uncool side only to me? You’re not allowed to show anyone else, okay?
