Chapter 6: Chapter 6 - Date
Once they head home and have dinner with their family they notice that Momo was a lot brighter than normal in which they immediately suspect it had to do with Ren who remains stoic and acts oblivious to their muttering and teasing.
He wasn't annoyed and happy when they playfully teased them especially when he saw Momo blush and his mother telling her that she'll help her prepare for tomorrow while Ren was brought by his foster father to have man to man chat.
"Ren, even if you're our son doesn't mean I'll let you off once you hurt Momo."
He sternly said looking at his foster father and gave a strong nod at him. Ren didn't take his threat lightly because even with all his strength would waver when his foster father decided to fight him and said.
"I will never dare hope to hurt her and I promise I'll protect her."
Ren firmly declared not backing down to anything that will be heading his way in the future. His foster father saw a determined gaze and an unwavering tone gave his acknowledgement and nodded. His eyes who's akin to a serpentine and feminine face yet his words made it clear that he was a man.
"Hahaha, as expected of my son. I never doubted you but make sure to wear protection if you were going to do it. Me and your mother don't want to be grandparents this early."
He gave a bellowing laughter patting his back while he gave a deadpanned look before chuckling imagining himself having his own children. Ren wondered what it would be like having them around and seeing them grow while they eventually live their own life.
Both of his life, he never had the chance to have his children with one who was always on the run while the other had lost his family and blindly dedicated himself to something he never used.
"I'll keep that in mind. If I ever need your advice I'll tell you."
His foster father nodded then asked about Melissa since it was obvious that she also had feelings for him. He told what happened and laughed hearing what he said.
"Really? Well, though it isn't illegal considering the population is at constant risk of collapsing due to collateral casualties still isn't common. Not to mention, it's a huge responsibility, do you think you can handle it?"
He explained that as parents they'll only support them until they have their own job and are able to support themselves since they don't want to spoil them too hard. Though, they'll help as much as they can but won't go overboard.
"I know, I've completely prepared for it. You know I invest in Melisa's invention right? Our profit with the technology she had made is split fairly between us and I even made a small company where I let someone handle it while I'm here studying."
Ren was not only busy with training but also investing money and studying every form of lectures. He studied Physics, Astrology, Medical, Business, Etc. Having gained an in-depth knowledge in every field due to his Photographic Memories and [ Unrestricted Self-development ] in which Ren endlessly develops in whatever field of expertise, meaning they can continue to develop themselves well and become stronger, faster, more durable, etc. without end.
Through learning, training or otherwise, they can increase their abilities as much as they wish. Has the potential to develop themselves in every way, physically or metaphysically, mentally or bodily, etc. In time, they may have a power that surpasses all other living beings in their realities.
Though, the only thing he has hands-on experience is engineering thanks to Melissa who was better than him in the field and in business because of his parents' guidance. He took 2 years to have a profitable company that hid his identity where only those that are close to him know about.
Despite the company's success it was more of back up since truthfully he and the people part of his harem would eventually leave anyway but still better than nothing. He had someone work for him in exchange for managing the company while he oversaw how things went and pretended to be the CEO.
"Ah right, I remembered it now. I thought you were joking when you asked for advice on how to run a company and thought you gave up on your dream but to think the company would actually grow without our help. Well I think you're all set then. Hey, can you pour us some wine?"
"Father, you know I'm a minor right?"
"Fffft, there ain't no cop here. It's only illegal if you get caught hehehe."
Ren sighs and witnesses the maids pouring them some alcohol and he misses the aroma of alcohol where his father gave a toast and with clinging take a sip where it tasted bitter yet wonderful. His foster father laughed asking how it feels drinking and acted like it was his first time drinking.
He actually told them a bit of his previous life but it vague saying it came from lucid dream and ask them how they feel about being a ruthless Assassin wondering if he'll abandon by them but was quickly receive his answer telling him that he's the same person as the one in his dream and doest care if he end up the same because they'll always by his side.
Though, the real reason told them because it's enabled since the "Angel" who gave him his powers would eventually tell them once he defeats All for one. He just decided to be vague for the time being. It made him wonder if they were accepting of him because they haven't seen him kill anyone yet.
=========
The people's heads were turning, finding an attractive and charismatic young man who looked extremely feminine with skin fairer than any woman and sharp gaze akin to venomous serpentine. He had long white hair and a slender body yet underneath was a well toned body wearing a white shirt and bluish white trench coat with pants and rubber shoes.
'This is going to be the first time I'll have a date without someone forcing me.'
From his other life as doctor, he hadn't been able to form long lasting relationships due to his obsession at the time and some of his co workers tried to help him by setting him on dates which he was thankful for but it doesn't end well since he's too far gone in his obsession.
Meanwhile his life as a Murim Assassin is another story since he had slept with countless women due to his charisma and used them to his advantage like high ranking politicians. He was an expert in seducing someone even if it came out rather blunt or straightforward as he knows what words that will leave an impact on someone.
By simply praising someone or showing your good side won't work in every woman thus need to have a different approach. Soon enough he heard the sound of heels clicking against the pavement and turned to see Momo dressed in a white shirt and black skinny jeans with a black bomber jacket. Her hair wasn't in its usual ponytail instead it was let down down her back.
He smiled looking at her as she stopped in front of him. Ren took a moment to appreciate how beautiful she was, taking in the perfection that was Momo Yaoyorozu. It was different
"You look great, Momo, that dress really suits you.".
He said while smiling as she blushed looking at how attractive and handsome he looked despite all his feminine features. She had seen him dress like this many times but it was different knowing they were now a couple on a date.
"You too, even though I've seen you like this many times, it feels completely different."
Ren smiled hearing her words and nodded as he held out his hand for Momo who clung to him and said.
"So where to, handsome?"
"Let's head to the amusement park."
She smiled and became excited heading their way to the amusement park where it had many visitors since it was still around January. Ren already pre-ordered some tickets online to not wait in line which annoyed some people but ignored them and watched how innocent Momo was running around.
"Which do you want to try first?"
Ren asked while Momo took a moment to think while looking around and spotted a knocking game where the two tried it. The game seems rather unfair when the world is full of quirk users but fortunately they had to register if they had a quirk that could help them in the game in order to make it fair.
The two easily knock their target winning a small koala stuffed toy that reminded him of Momo but didn't say it out loud and soon was dragged by her as they continued their date from playing bumper rides where she giggled and laughed as they hit each other while Ren and laughed as well.
They were having the time of their lives afterwards and after they had enough of the amusement park was taken by Ren to secluded place where Momo was able to see a beautiful serene lake where it reflect the moon like akin to a fairy tail while he use his quirk to make a sheet for them to use and gestured for her to lay down and look into the cloudless sky and showed the shimmer brilliant of the stars.
"How did you find this place?"
Momo asked if she laid down with him and Ren smiled and said.
"I came across this place when I was training. I've named these The Reaper of the Drifting Moon."
Ren said while Momo confused him to name a place this serene and said.
"Why that name?*
"Because I'm the Reaper of the Drifting Moon."
Momo gave it some more thought and decided to let it be since he was the one who found the place and looked down at Ren who had her shadow cast into him the whole moonlight shimmer against her skin and said.
"Ren…today has been amazing and I had a great time. Thank you and….I love you."
Ren smiled hearing her words and reached out before pulling her for a kiss where she was taken aback but slowly accepted his lips. He didn't try to force himself and only gave a quick kiss as she was still new to it and slowly departed as she looked at him with moist gaze and felt her heart pounding and heard him say.
"I love you too.
Momo was extremely happy and gave another passionate kiss that took a few seconds until they stopped as she laid into his chest while they just enjoy the silence and the night.
=========
The next day, Ren was walking beside his date, Melissa who wore a simple white shirt with large black stripes on the sleeve and high-rise skinny jeans.
She still wore her glasses out of habit which only compliments her looks. Melissa noticed his intent gaze blushing as he kept looking at her appearance's appreciation every bit.
"You don't need to feel embarrassed, I just appreciate how beautiful you are today, and...that perfume smells great."
"I-I'm glad you like it...Momo recommended it to me."
"She has good taste and it matches you for some reason. It's probably because it's both strong yet mellow like you."
She smiled before wrapping her arms around him then kissing his cheek.
"That makes me happy. Now where to?"
"I heard there was a Ramen restaurant around this place and wanted to try it."
Melissa nodded and a few minutes later, the two arrived at a restaurant and gave their orders. Ren always liked food that is soup base due how easily they are to be consumed and it was the food he often ate as a doctor which was ironic. He sat down looking at Melissa who was nervous and Ren smiled as he decided to start a conversation while they waited for their food.
"So you're going to be a 3rd-year student."
"Yeah, Uncle might say that principal Nezu used my support hero course credit to transfer me. Still, it would have been great if we became classmates."
"Me too but hey at least you won't be wasting your years. But I wonder why the principal let you skip them…"
He hasn't met the rodent but knew his someone not to be underestimated in terms of intellect and strategic mind. Ren needed to be careful when around him since he can expose some secret that he has. Though, it would be a reckless move if there was anyone going to know it was him.
Ren had been training and performing vigilante acts to sharpen himself at night which was basically Batman focusing more on his martial skill than his quirk since it would expose him.
Thanks to his [ Paragon Shadow ] he's also able to mimic or change his appearances allowing to hide his identity. Though, he can't change his height or change but it is still a useful technique to have. Moments later their meal arrived that was still steaming.
Melissa saw the steaming hot ramen that had been drowned in spices. Fortunately she knows how to use a chopstick or it would be awkward and began to eat while he noticed Melissa was taking glances then pick up a piece of meat from her ramen and said.
"S-Say ah, D-D-Darling."
The moment froze as Ren chuckled hearing having a pet name from her and heard her said.
"I-It's so embarrassing but...that's what I want to call you, M-My darling."
"I love it but just don't force yourself if you think it's too embarrassing."
"N-No, I want to call you something special."
"Well as long as you're happy and thank you for the meal."
Ren took the piece of cutlet and received a smile from the blonde. They finished their meal and were walking to their next destinations.
"Where are you taking me, D-Darling?"
"Uhm...well if I tell you then it would ruin the surprise right?"
He gave a cheeky smile receiving a pout from his date but didn't complain and was excited to see his surprise. It didn't take long for them to arrive that made Melissa gasp in surprise upon seeing the famous and widely known.
"Cherry blossoms!?
"Yeah, otherwise known as Sakura. I think it's memorable to bring you here."
The two worked their way to a small bridge where a small creek contained Koi fish. Melissa took out her phone to snap a picture sending them to her father. She was mesmerized by the unique atmosphere that the cherry blossom gave, making their date more romantic.
Melissa held out her hand as the falling leaf landed into her palm before Ren placed his hand at the back of her hand and wrapped his other hand around her waist and held their hands tightly.
"Darling, thank you for bringing me here."
"You're welcome."
Their faces went closer to each other before tasting their lips. As their date became one of the best days of their life.
