Time skip
Keitaro and Shoko made their way toward a nearby café, Shoko liked drinking coffee so he wondered why not let her enjoy herself a bit.
As they walked toward the place, Keitaro was passively absorbing nature's energy. If he was being fair he was always absorbing nature's energy and storing it somewhere for later use.
He probably had enough natural energy to fight with Satoru for at least 10 minutes while not holding anything back and using all of his moves.
Granted the energy that he possessed right now would be used in order to create more pills.
He had spent all of this time making pills for Shoko to have a day to relax but what about his best friend?
Gojo Satoru..... wonders what he could give the jujutsu higher-up in exchange for having Gojo for around 6 months.
His friend needed a break, plus he needed to thank his friend for all the things he had done for him.
It would be a bit selfish to not give his friend something.
Once they arrived at the coffee shop, Keitaro held the door open for her. She just had a soft smile on her face.
As they stepped inside, they were greeted by the inviting aroma of coffee and freshly baked pastries.
They found a pretty cozy corner to in, Keitaro looked at the menu.
There were some rather tasty things on the menu.
He casually glanced at Shoko who seemed to be casually looking at the window, guess picking a window seat was the right option after all.
Her face looked relaxed but she still bore this sleepy look on her face.
He cleared his throat, goddam this was taking a lot out of him.
"So," He started..." What do you feel like having?"
This was harder than it had to be.
However, he was keeping himself calm throughout it all, making sure to use the breathing techniques that he had learned to keep himself calm.
Shoko glanced at the menu for a brief second.
"I'll just get a black coffee."
Keitaro frowned just a bit. "Just black coffee? How about something sweeter or different for a change? It's your day off, after all. You can treat yourself a little."
He smiled at her as he started pointing at some stuff that she could order.
"Come on, just let loose for once"
Shoko raised an eyebrow, a hint of amusement could be seen in her eyes.
"You're pretty insistent, aren't you?"
Keitaro gave her a sheepish smile. " I don't want you to have any regret, so it's good to try something new sometimes, maybe you might enjoy it, maybe you might hate it. At the end of the day, it will be a new experience to remember"
She gave him a playful look before she scanned the menu once again.
"Alright, fine. I'll get a sweet pastry and... some dark chocolate. Happy?"
"You like bitter stuff, huh" He added as he gazed at her.
"Maybe" She replied with a lazy expression on her face.
He on the other hand did not mind it much, that was part of her charm after all.
After making up their mind, they ordered the food that they wanted.
They had quite a good time in each other company.
Surprisingly enough he was able to see her smile and laugh,
It was a genuine emotion on her face that he couldn't help but feel his heart melting upon seeing her expression.
Saying she looked cute was an understatement in his opinion.
He felt quite happy, he was managing to get rid of his attitude of folding so easily as time went on.
It didnt mean it was completely gone.
If she did something unexpected like kiss him out of nowhere or he was to walk on her changing yeah that would be enough.
But he could not hold a casual conversation without shaking much and to him this was all he needed.
Going from eating at a coffee shop to a date in an aquarium, Keitaro had made sure the experience was pretty memorable.
As they made their way back home, the both of them were in a very comfortable silence.
He liked this.
As they entered the house, he made his way to the kitchen to wash his hands, on his way there he saw a picture of himself as a kid.
It was next to a shelf, a picture that anyone who would be washing their hand could see.
It was a picture of his childhood self, wearing a fox pajama with fox ears and all.
He had both of his hands ball up in a fist and they were close to his face.
He looked quite cute.
He hadn't changed that much since he was a kid, that curiosity he had since he was a child was always there with him.
Which was probably the reason why he was so curious about everything.
He smelled something burning and upon turning around he noticed that she was back on her habit of smoking.
Not that he minded, he could easily heal the damage done by using RCT or he could probably just create a seal whose sole purpose was to get rid of that smoke the second it left the cigarette.
Looking at his girlfriend, he realizes that he will never be able to become enlightened in the traditional sense.
There was no way on earth that he would toss that away for power, he just couldn't.
