Chapter Text
I don’t know what I did, but I’m glad i did it, our lips touching… it was amazing, he tasted sweet, like a soft candy on a hot summer day. His lips were soft, I wanna feel it again and again, I never want to stop. It’s making me realize just how much I like Nakamura. How did I manage to get through my day to day life before meeting him? If I had known it felt this good to kiss him, I would’ve done it way earlier.
As I look up, I see a red nakamura, he’s caught in a daze, his eyes aren’t focusing on anything and he’s touching his lips with his fingers softly. The lips that I kissed. Before I can even think about it I lean forward again, kissing him more confidently this time. He melts into the kiss almost immediately. At that moment I can’t help but hope im the only one who’s ever made him feel like this an the only one who ever will.
I gently support the back of his neck as I tilt my head to deepen the kiss, I want to taste more, I want to stay this close to him forever, im not sure ill ever find anyone who loves me as much as he does or someone I will love as much as him.
He stops momentarily as he softly pushes me back.
shit, Did I go… too far?
I feel my heart sink at the thought of me getting overpowered by my desires, maybe its showing on my face because Nakamura immediately puts my hand in his as he says
« Its not like I didn’t like it, its just that... if we go any further than that… I don’t think my heart can take it »
Gosh, how much cuter can he be? I hug him tight as I cuddle close to him. Ill wait until he’s ready
————————————
It has now been 2 weeks since I started dating Hirose, I’ve loved every single moment of those weeks. The feeling of being openly loved by my favorite person feels surreal.
I still have the power to see people’s love for me but I don’t really look at it often… im too busy looking at my perfect boyfriend!!! The one im officially dating! And I think he knows that and uses it to his advantage.
We’re gonna have our first date this afternoon!
We’re going to the movies and I picked a horror movie, I have the perfect plan! We’re gonna watch that horror movie and at the scary scenes, Hirose will cuddle up to me and we’ll stay close all throughout the movie, I’ll turn his face towards me while I gently comfort him and we kiss each other… eek!!
Nothing can go wrong!
At least that’s what I thought, but I forgot a very important detail: what if Hirose isn’t afraid of horror movies?
Sadly I realized this halfway through the movie as Hirose was excitedly looking at the screen, each jumpscare or scary, panic inducing moment only made him more and more focused on the movie. RAHHHHH WHY ISN’T THIS GOING AS PLANNED?!?
As always, the gods hate me. Might as well eat all the popcorn.
As I reach for the popcorn, I touch something warm… is it Hirose’s hand?
I look down as I blush only to realize its small mouse.
…
Huh?
…
A MOTHER FLUCKING MOUSE?!?
I screech really loudly
And apparently that mouse was someone’s pet? They came looking for it a few minutes later and I was honestly too shocked to say anything so I just pointed towards the popcorn bag as they took the mouse away and thanked me.
Safe to say I didn’t finish the popcorn and also stopped Hirose- who was too focused on watching the movie so he didn’t hear my screeching nor did he see the mouse- from eating any of it.
Thankfully, I knew luck wasn’t going to be on my side today so I booked us a sweet little café date as a backup plan. This time, nothing can go wrong!!
As we’re walking towards the café, I see a girl with an octopus keychain. It looks so pretty… oh how I would love to have a keychain with an octopus on it, that way I would be matching with Hirose’s crab keychain (we would look so much like a couple!!!!)
And apparently, it was obvious on my face that I wanted that keychain since Hirose grabbed my hand and dragged me towards the girl as he asked where she got the keychain from.
I would probably be fawning about how gentle and nice and polite Hirose is IF HE WEREN’T HOLDING MY HAND!?!
I must look really lame right now, I can’t even focus on the keychain… but how could I when my crush- no, my boyfriend is holding my hand so naturally? But is this normal for him? Am I the only one freaking out right now?
Apparently while I was overthinking, Hirose had gotten the keychain info and he was now dragging me to the café, my hand still in his.
We get to the café and get seated, as we both sit down and begin ordering our drinks, I see the girl server- who looks about our age- winking in Hirose’s direction. I don’t think much of it but it still irks me a little. Do I really deserve Hirose? He’s so cute and popular with the girls and I’m just- well, me.
As long as he likes me it’s okay! I stare up at his love meter that’s at 101 percent and realize I have nothing to worry about. My eyes meet his as he looks at me lovingly, he really does love me doesn’t he?
It’s like he’s looking at a precious crystal, fragile but beautiful. The love meter really doesn’t lie.
I give him the same look back, as my hand hesitantly reaches for his. I wait for his reaction.
He doesn’t have a reaction at first, he looks shocked, but he quickly holds my hand back before I can begin to pull it back, stopping it from moving as we interlock our fingers.
He begins to blush as he looks away.
«I was just… shocked that you wanted to initiate the hand holding. I- I wasn’t trying to push you away so please, don’t let go » he says almost pleading.
I can only nod as I utter something that resembles an agreement.
The server comes back and she almost slides a note with her number on it to Hirose but she looks at our lovesick gazes as she sighs before putting it back in her pocket and telling us to have a good meal.
Hirose ordered a strawberry smoothie and I ordered a pomegranate juice you get as an addition to buying the special loveable lunch menu thanks to the event happening at this café.
——————-
As we head out of the café, I see Kawamura as she’s about to go in, probably for the lovable lunch event. I remember nakamura mentioning that she has a crush on him… we should… leave.
But before I can redirect Nakamura to the opposite direction, it’s already too late. Kawamura sees Nakamura and rushes towards him shyly.
« N- Nakamura-kun… and Hirose-kun »
She says as she blushes slightly from being caught going to the event by Hirose
« Hey Kawamura! Did you come for the… lovable lunch event? »
Nakamura whispers the last part in Kawamura’s ear and she blushes before turning back to Nakamura with newfound confidence
« Yes! Did you… come here for that too? »
They both look like secret agents speaking in code to each other as they talk secretively
« Yes. It was amazing and you get a limited edition acrylic figurine »
Kawamura looks baffled as she holds Nakamura’s hands and they both jump up and down while squealing.
I gently take Kawamura’s hands off Nakamura’s.
« We were just about to continue our date elsewhere so we need to go, right Nakamura? »
I say with a hint of jealousy in my voice as I insist on the word « date », I shouldn’t be jealous since I know Nakamura’s love percentage for me and I look at it as often as I can but it still irks me to know other people manage to see the charm Nakamura has…
« Oh, y-yeah bye kawamura »
Nakamura stutters as his face turns bright red. Kawamura gives a proud grin before giving him a thumbs up as I drag him away.
« So, does she still like you? »
I say while pouting.
Nakamura slows down a bit before laughing cutely
« What? I can’t be jealous? You’re my boyfriend. Boyfriend! »
I say half hurt half joking as he laughs a bit more
« No, we’re just friends now, besides, she prefers to see the bl rather than to interfere in it, no need to be jealous. Though I don’t mind if you do… »
Says Nakamura as he pushes a stray strand of hair behind my ear.
We’re in a park, watching the Sumida river flow peacefully, the soft nature of the park contrasting with the city's lights. His face is dangerously close to mine as he leans in closer. The sun is setting, he looks gorgeous with the light softly passing through his hair on his face, his eyes shining with pure love and standing out more with the wind pushing his hair away. It’s like a scene from a rom-com.
Our lips touch confidently, different from our first kiss, this one isn’t rushed, we know there’ll be more kisses to come and more time to spend together. We kiss softly, our breaths mingling as his hand grazes the back of my neck . We pull back slightly and I look at his face, he’s smiling and all the worry in my heart just melts away. As I look up to his love meter I see its no longer at 100.
It’s at 102 now.
I guess I’ll have to catch up to him, though I don’t mind.
We have plenty of time for our love to grow, our story is only starting.
