(Saturday)

The weekend has come and it was now a time of relaxation for Ilyas and Io. Both NXT Superstars are in pursuit of the NXT North American Championship and the NXT Women's Championship respectively after sending messages to the current champions a few days ago.

The Descendant of Jose Rizal got up and prepared his morning coffee as something was on his mind as of late.

Ilyas' mind: Io is such a sweet girl and we've been friends for a long time while we also had a some awesome dates together

Ilyas was thinking about bringing Io up on a hill and have a picnic date with her while also looks to confess to her given his developing feelings for the Joshi Judas.

As for Io, her heart and mind was on Ilyas as she also has genuine feelings for the Descendant. Then she heard her phone chimed in with a notification sound. Io went to check and smiled as she saw a text message from Ilyas, she unlocked her phone and read the message.

Ilyas: ohayo Io-san, I just want to ask you if you want to have a picnic with me today, just the two of us 😘

Io smiled and blushed from the small emoji as she replied back.

Io: ohayo to you too Ilyas-kun, I would love to have a picnic with you, and it will be nice when it's just the two of us

Io was all feeling giddy inside, knowing that it will be just the two of them, no intruders to bother them or to interrupt their quiet peaceful time, but the place of where the picnic will be is not known for now.

(Back with Ilyas)

The food Ilyas is currently making are homemade sushi rolls along with some fried tempura shrimp and lumpia with some fresh salad as a side dish.

After letting the food cool off, Ilyas packed them in a basket and proceeded to wash and freshen up for the day.

(Time skip)

Ilyas was all dressed up and ready for his picnic date with Io. The Descendant has texted the Joshi Judas of where they will have their picnic. The place is at the top of a cliff overlooking and gives a great view of the city skyline.

Then the Descendant left his apartment with picnic basket in hand and proceeded to drive and make his way to Io's apartment building. Meanwhile the Genius of the Sky was all dressed up as she wore a black crop top with a pair of denim shorts. While she waited Io took the time to just look through her phone while also taking selfies.

(A few minutes later)

Ilyas pulled up at her apartment building and went upstairs to her door. He took a deep breath and knocked on her door. Io opened it and smiled as she saw the Descendant.

Io: konichiwa, Ilyas-kun

Ilyas smiled as well while he checked out the Joshi Judas.

Ilyas: ohayo Io-san, ready to go?

Io: hai, let me lock up first, so we can go

Ilyas nodded while Io locked up her door tightly. Then the two close friends got in the Descendant's car and drove off to the quiet cliff area on top from a mountain.

Io: wow, it's really nice and quiet up here

Ilyas: hai, peace and quiet where no one can bother us

The two got out of the car and saw a picnic table for them to use. Ilyas put the basket down and sat next to Io as they admire the clear view of the skyline.

Io: so what did you cook for us, Ilyas-kun?

Ilyas: oh, it's all homemade and fresh; I made some sushi rolls, shrimp tempura and fried lumpia

Io: oooh, they all sound oishii, especially when it's homecooked

Ilyas smiled as he gave Io a plate of sushi, tempura and lumpia.

Io: mh, it smells good. Hai itadakimasu

Io took her chopsticks and picked up a piece of sushi roll. As she ate it, her eyes widen and nodded as it tasted delicious.

Ilyas: you like it, Io-san?

Io smiled and nodded as her mouth is full of sushi and lumpia.

Io: mmmhh!

Ilyas chuckled as he ate while he watched Io stuff her face of his homemade cooked food. He was about to take the last shrimp tempura, but saw Io looking at him with adorable puppy eyes.

Ilyas: aww Io-san, you want the last shrimp?

Io adorably nodded while she pouted with her adorable puppy eyes. Ilyas melted from the cute sight and gave in for her.

Ilyas: aww okay Io-san, you can have it

Io smiled, kissed Ilyas on the cheek, took the last piece of shrimp tempura and ate it.

Io: mmhh oishii

Ilyas smiled as he put his hand on the cheek where Io kissed while he blushed lightly and feeling all tingly inside.

(A few minutes later)

Ilyas cleaned up the table and put everything back in the basket, but the two decided to stay and relax as the gentle wind blew through them. Io breathed and scooted close to the Descendant, gathered up her courage and lays her head on his shoulder.

Ilyas blushed a bit and melted as he too gathered up his courage and put his arm around Io to make her feel comfortable and warm, in which the Joshi Judas smiled and melted from his touch.

The Descendant took a deep breath as he gathered his thoughts while unknowingly Io was also gathering her thoughts and feelings too.

Ilyas: uhh Io-san...

Io: nani Ilyas-kun?

She said with an adorable tone in her voice.

Ilyas: over the last few weeks, you and I have gotten very close and I was always happy whenever I'm with you. You're kawaii and funny, Io-san

Io smiled and melted from the Descendant's sweet compliment as she hugged his arm and placed his hand on her leg.

Io: Ilyas-kun, I also feel very happy whenever I'm around or with you, I always feel warm inside when it's just the two of us

Then the two stared at each other and slowly leaned in while they stared at each other's eyes.

Io: Ilyas-kun...

Ilyas: Io-san...

Then the Joshi Judas put her hands around his cheeks, gathered her courage and leaned in to kiss Ilyas on the lips. The Descendant's eyes widen, but melted as he kissed her back while his hands were on her thighs.

Io smiled, blushed and felt her cheeks warm and red as he kissed the guy she had genuine feelings for. As for Ilyas, he felt all warm as the girl he truly likes is kissing him.

Io pulled back and smiled while her hands were still on Ilyas' cheeks.

Io: Ilyas-kun... I like you, daisuki desu

Ilyas smiled as Io confessed her feelings to him. He took a deep breath as he said.

Ilyas: Io-san... I like you too, I really do

Io smiled as she heard her crush confess his feelings to her and that their feelings are mutual.

Ilyas: Io-san, are we-

Io smiled and answered his question by kissing Ilyas on his lips again.

Io: hai, you're my boyfriend

Ilyas smiled and blushed a bit.

Ilyas: and you're my girlfriend

Io giggled and hugged her boyfriend with warmth. The two hugged and cuddled each other while they admired the view before they got up and drove back home.

(Minutes later)

Ilyas pulled up at Io's apartment building, but an idea flew into the Joshi Judas' head.

Io: Ilyas-kun... babe...

She blushed a bit as she said the word to Ilyas. making him blush too.

Io: I know we're both tired, so do you want to take a nap with me?

Ilyas smiled and nodded.

Ilyas: hai, I will love that... babe

Io smiled as the two got out of the car with the Joshi Judas hugging and leaning his arm.

(Small time skip)

Ilyas was laying in his girlfriend's bed while Io was laying on his chest with a cute smile on her face.

Ilyas: my girlfriend is the soon to be NXT Women's Champion

He said as he kissed her head which made Io smile and melt.

Io: and my boyfriend will be NXT Champion

The two cuddled in each other's arms and fell asleep with smiles on their faces as a couple and as boyfriend and girlfriend.
