Chapter Text
PRESENT:
"Hey ex/n, I was wondering if you'd like to go on a date this Saturday night." Tendou asked his girlfriend.
"I was hoping you'd ask. We haven't really been on any dates since we got back together." Ex/n replied.
"Good! I'll pick you up at 6:30 then."
Come Saturday, Tendou went to buy groceries first thing in the morning. It has been a while since their last date, so he was looking forward to it and intends to make everything perfect.
Tendou have finished creating a new recipe for chocolates last week. And He couldn't wait for her to taste them. Her expressions after tasting his chocolates have always been his favorite thing in the world.
By lunch, he has already finished making the chocolates. So he proceeded to fix the living room to make space for a make shift dance floor. Looking at how he fixed his place, he became all giddy, already imagining the look on his girlfriend's face. Tendou was also proud of selecting the perfect song too.
"There! We should be able to move around like this. Now all that's left to do is set up the table."
Tendou wanted this to be special like their other dates. And among all the dates that they have been to. This has always been her favorite.
By 5 in the afternoon, Tendou has finished all his preparations. He stood straight with his hands on his waist as he gave himself a pat on the back for doing a job well done in preparing for their night.
"This is going to blow Y/N's mind away." He exclaimed happily.
But as soon as those words escaped his mouth, he froze. The smile on his face vanishing for the first time since that day.
FLASHBACK :
"Where are you taking me Satori?" y/n giggled.
Tendou blind folded y/n before taking her to his house for their special date.
"Just a few more steps Y/n!"
"Will we even get there with me alive or at least without tripping?"
"Such an impatient little monster you are y/n." Tendou smiles gently at the blindfolded y/n.
"Well you're not the one with the blind fold! You don't know how nerve wracking this is." y/n said defensively.
"Okay, I'm taking it off. You can open your eyes now."
Y/n adjusted her eyes to the light. Her jaw dropped when she finally sees what's in front of her.
Y/n didn't know where to look first, there were candles everywhere. There were little string of lights dropping from the ceiling as if it was raining and the droplets were glowing. Flower petals were scattered on the floor. The couch and the coffee table were pushed aside, giving way to a makeshift dance floor. Her eyes landed at the side where their candle-lit dinner was waiting for them.
"Satori, this is-" y/n couldn't speak well. She was overwhelmed by how much Tendou has put into this.
Her heart swelled with so much emotion that she couldn't help but tackle Tendou into a tight embrace.
"Whoa~ careful y/n. Don't get injured before we even start dancing." Tendou laughed. He was extremely pleased at how y/n reacted to his surprise for her.
"I- I- don't know what to say Satori." Y/n said with tears in her eyes.
"Well, that's okay. Because I've prepared all of this for us to celebrate something special." Tendou gave y/n an excited smile.
"Oh no! I did not forget our anniversary did I? No. That's not today!" Y/n panicked.
"Hahaha! Chill my little monster. It's a different kind of special day. You see, I just came up with a new chocolate recipe the other night. And I wanted you to be the first one to taste it." Tendou said sheepishly.
"Oh Tendou!" Y/n said falling more deeply in love with Tendou.
"I hope we can make this a tradition Y/n. Come on, you must be hungry already. Let's start dinner."
The table was full of laughter and happiness that night. Y/n was so surprised about the chocolates. It was the best tasting chocolates she has ever had.
Tendou was ecstatic at how y/n loved his chocolate too. He felt so full, so warm and so fuzzy inside.
Tendou stood up, went to y/n's side of the table and offered her his hand.
"May I have this dance?" He asked
Y/n curtsied and put her hand in his.
"Why, I would love to young sir." She replied
When they both got to the makeshift dance floor, y/n got confused because there was no music at all.
"I think you forgot the music Satori." Y/n chuckled.
"Of course not! Why would I forget about that?"
"Well, where is it then?" Y/n got even more confused.
"I'm going to sing it of course!!!" Tendou scoffed.
He took her by the hand and wrapped his other arm around her waist.
(A/N: You can listen to Joseph Vincent's cover or the original song. Whether you like the music slow or upbeat is upto you. But I prefer it to be a mixture of both.)
"You're just too good to be true." Tendou started singing.
"Can't take my eyes off of you" he looked into y/n's eyes.
"You'd be like Heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last, love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive"
" You're just too good to be true" Tendou put his forehead against y/n's as he continues to sway y/n.
"Can't take my eyes off of you." Tendou then twirled y/n
"I love you, baby
And if it's quite alright
I need you, baby
To warm the lonely night
I love you, baby
Trust in me when I say
Oh, pretty baby
Don't bring me down, I pray
Oh, pretty baby
Now that I've found you, stay
And let me love you, baby
Let me love you"
Y/n was getting emotional. She couldn't describe how she was feeling. She felt like "happiness" and "contentment" were both huge understatements for what she is feeling right now.
" I love you, Satori Tendou." Y/n whispered, looking straight into Tendou's eyes, trying her best to show him how much she means it.
PRESENT:
Tendou's memories with y/n came rushing back to him. With it, came this pain in his chest that he couldn't describe. He stood there, frozen, until he felt something wet against his cheeks.
"I guess I really do love you after all y/n." Tendou whispered.
"I love you more than I love ex/n." He cried.
He feels horrible with this new realization. He can't accept the fact that he has hurt y/n because of his own stupidity. He felt guilty towards ex/n too, he doesn't know what else to do.
After recovering from the surge of emotions, Tendou got dressed. He went to fetch ex/n, taking her on a date, but not to the one he prepared all day for.
~The End~
