Work Text:
“An, what’re you doing?” Toya asked, having walked in on An excitedly scribbling away at a piece of paper in Crase Café. An jumped in her seat, aggressively covering the paper with both of her hands.
“Nothing!” She yelped, sweating. She folded the paper, looking at the floor while blushing.
“You sure? You look unwell…” Toya said, his eyebrows furrowing concernedly as he walked next to An, putting his hand on her forehead to check her temperature. “You look a little flushed, are you sick?”
An thought she might die from just the touch to her forehead.
“Yes! I’m fine, don’t worry about me!” An squealed with a bright and sunny smile. Toya cocked his head to the side and raised an eyebrow, but didn’t protest.
“Alright. But if you ever need anything just let me know, ‘kay?” An nodded in response, bewildered that Toya of all people had to walk into Crase Café when she was writing a love letter to her crush and ranting about them to MEIKO!
Said crush being Toya. How beautiful for An. An sipped her highly sweetened mocha, Toya getting his normal black coffee and having a pleasant drink with An.
“How come you’re here so early— without Akito?” An asked, breaking the silence. Kohane was busy that day so she wouldn’t make it to practice, but Akito was ghosting them for around 3 hours now.
“He went shopping with his sister,” Toya replied calmly before taking another sip of his coffee. “But that means we can work one on one— you know, ‘cause we almost never do.”
An weighed the pros and cons:
- Pros; Toya!! More practice, singing, Toya, Toya, songs
- Cons; Toya, accidentally confessing!?
“Yeah, It’ll be nice to practice with just you, since it’s been a while!” An replied with pep, even though on the inside she was nearly ready to explode.
Once they’d gotten set up and done a few songs for practice, they decided to take a small break in the café.
An felt like her confidence was through the roof, and she forgot that she was trying to not tell Toya she liked him.
“Toya, I like you,” She said gently, softer and more sincere than her other tones. Toya averted his gaze, not sure what to say.
Realizing what she’d said, she bounced where she sat, quickly making an excuse;
“As a friend of course! B-best friends!” She stammeref, very clear that was a lie.
“You like me in a romantic way..?” Toya asked nervously, his eyes widening as he turned pink.
“U-Uh… yeah…” An barely whispered, scared this’d hurt their relationship. Her eyes welled with tears, and she waited for Toya’s response.
“I like you in a romantic sense too..” Toya said, blush dusting his cheeks as he averted his gaze once more, still sitting down compared to the frantic An that had hopped out of her seat.
“R-really?” An asked, her eyes watering in a more positive sense. Toya nodded, looking back up at An.
“I’m so glad!” An said, pulling Toya in to a big hug.
“Could we… date..?” Toya asked, his face even redder and his eyes towards the floor.
“Yes!” An said ecstatically, hugging Toya tighter and hopping softly.
“Can I kiss you?” An asked with a smile, pulling away from the hug. Toya nodded, closing his eyes.
As their lips met, An couldn’t help but feel like sparks were simply flying.
