Work Text:
You got to know Oukawa Kohaku on the internet and talked to him for years before getting to know he moved to your city, and apparently debuted as an idol. For a while you didn’t want to bother him as you assumed he was busy but one day he messaged you, intending to catch up with you. The conversation went as smoothly as ever so you agreed on meeting now that both of you lived in the same city. The date was the following Saturday and you could barely sleep the night before due to the excitement of finally meeting him so you arrived slightly tired to your meeting spot. To your surprise the handsome pink haired boy was in the same condition. You exchanged a shy smile before he greeted you.
„Finally we are meeting live.” He complained.”I thought it’s never going to happen.Good morning [internet name]-han. Oh wait, should I call you here [name]-han?
„Well, you have been busy since you have been to a reasonable distance from me, right? Before that we lived far away.” You tried to reason why the two of you never met only to see his face flush a bit from embarrassment due to the complaint he made being turned down. „Yeah [name] will be alright, Kohaku.” You replied, while laughing softly since he was even more adorable in live.
„Alright, let’s go then.” He said. You agreed on trying out a new cafe then going window shopping to a shop about your common interests before so you took off to your first destination.
Though it was awkward at first and you kept your distance from each other, talking to him in live was just as smooth as having a conversation in the online space so you two got comfortable with the physical closeness during the day. The around one meter distance you had while walking to the cafe shrunk to half while coming out from there after you two tried out the newest items on the menu, getting your favourite beverage as a treat. By the time you got to walk on the streets to do window shopping the city had already woken up and now you needed to be cautious not to lose each other in the crowd.
„What’f we held hands?” Kohaku asked you while extending his hands towards you. You agreed with a nod, soon your fingers were intertwined with the pink haired idol’s. His hand was surprisingly big and warm yet delicate and soft, the sensation made your heart swell. That’s right, you knew it all along but you really liked Kohaku. At the same time the lilac eyed boy was thinking the same, he got butterflies from the warmth spreading to his body throughout your hands connected. The two of you gazed at each other for a moment shyly before proceeding with your little journey.
There was a gentle but chilly breeze brewing as it rushed through the crowd. It felt as it smiled over the two of you connecting and sharing warmth while trying to take cautions to not get separated.
Time flew all too fast and you couldn’t help looking at the clock. It made you aware of the fact that your family wanted you back before it got dark since your neighborhood wasn’t the safest.
„Are ya worried about the time?” he asked after you checked your phone for the third time.
„Kind of, I need to go home before it gets dark.” you admitted.
„Rest assured I’ll take ya home properly with all of these memories we shared together today. We should’ve really met sooner, only if I had more time besides idol activities I’d have messaged ya earlier. That reminds me. Did ya miss me while we didn’t talk?” He looked into your eyes with a serious expression as he asked. The dusk colored his fine features in a pinkish hue. You slowly nodded without looking away which made his eyes light up. Without a doubt that was the moment when love blossomed between the two of you. The sky was beautiful with the clouds being colored in pink, reminding you to cherry blossoms, Kohaku was beautiful with his bubblegum pink hair, also reminding you to cherry blossoms, the whole world was colored in a cherry blossom pink hue in the moment which made your feelings for him overflow.
„I love you Kohaku.” it slipped out of your mouth in the spur of the moment.
„I love ya as well, [name]-han.” His response was a bit shy but your feelings being mutual made you incredibly happy so you suddenly embraced him, almost knocking him off balance which made both of you break out in laughter.
In the end he fulfilled his promise and dropped you in front of your house. Letting go of his hand felt lonely but it couldn’t be helped.
„Thanks for today Kohaku, see you later.”
„Then…see ya later.” he replied shyly and left after your goodbyes.
You knew it wasn’t the end since tomorrow is just the continuation of today, you could just meet any other time you both were free and spend time together as you were no longer only internet friends but rather lovers.
