Lovers in Tokyo

While walking on an unknown path her eyes traveled to their tangled hands. It felt strange, like energy from his body was slowly slipping into hers. His hand was warm and seemed to fit hers perfectly.

"So strange" She whispered, trying not to get his attention. He stopped when they reached their destination. There were more clowns and definitely more children.

"This is the place I like to come to” He raised his head and let the wind go through his short messy hair.

Her eyes trailed from him to the scenery. There were a few small shops that gave street food and drinks; there were a few children around two clowns who were trying to be funny and creative; the wind blew and took one of the many balloons with it. It looked beautiful. She got entranced by the view and forgot about him.

"Oi!"

He exclaimed when he saw her walking towards one of the street shops. She didn´t turn nor react in any way. Instead of trying to get her back, he let her lead the way.

Her smile was contagious. Her eyes sparkled at the sight of sushi. It was funny to see her lick her lips and get so excited over food. The photographer chuckled bemusedly and took a picture of both the working women and the excited customer.

"So you like it?" He asked after he bought two plates. She nodded and took a bite of her newly bought sushi. He laughed softly and both walked in silence.

Out of nowhere, one of the clowns came and grabbed the photographer with him. He was perplexed by the action but she only started to laugh loudly.

"Are you scared?" She asked walking beside him.

He couldn´t respond because the clown pulled him closer and started to make signs towards the children. They started to laugh when he made a funny face but the photographer wasn´t amused.

"Come on-"

She stopped. She completely forgot to ask his name. Her lips formed a thin line and she started to think how she got somewhat kidnapped by that mysterious guy.

The clown told him to take hold of a box since he was tired and it was too heavy. He did so. At one point, the box started to shake. When it finally stopped, he backed off. It was too strange. At that time, the box opened and he got a pie thrown into his face. He didn´t look too happy. When he saw how hard she was laughing and how much fun she was having, he felt his lips curve into a smile.

"Your face was priceless!" She exclaimed when he got off the handmade stage.

He still had a few pieces of vanilla on his cheeks and nose, even though he did clean up. Seeing how she was too amused, he took a piece from his cheek and placed it on hers. She stopped and playfully glared at him. She hit his arm and cleaned herself up.

"Where should we go now?" It was more of a question for himself but she responded.

"I have an idea" He glanced at her. "Why don´t you tell me your name first?" Her expression was funny. She had one eyebrow raised and she was biting her lower lip in a weird way.

"Nao" He said while leaning closer to her. "My name is Nao" He repeated and started to walk away.

"Doesn´t he want to know my name too?" She whispered to herself, a little confused by his behavior. Well, at least she knew how to call him. She caught up to him quickly.

"Where to next, captain?" She asked in English and made an army sign. He smiled and shrugged.

"Wherever" She puffed her cheeks and nodded.

Wherever they were going to end up, it was definitely going to be fun. She was sure of that
