oceans and engines | michael kaiser sfw | fem!reader with she/her pronouns, swearing
he sees footprints on the sand, he smells the salty air of the sea, and he feels the coldness of your hand, who drags him along the bleakness of the beach. even as he closes his eyes, knowing that he trusts you with where you're leading him, he can still hear the huffing of his breath, trying to keep up with your pace, he can still feel the waves crashing around his bare feet, and he can still taste your expensive chapstick on his lips, as cold as they may be.
"open your eyes, mihya."
and so he does.
the sky is still as it was: desolate and devoid of blue, overcast, and sad. the sea is cold, vast, neverending.
immediately, he tenses up, and he thinks maybe he should have listened to you when he peeled off his jacket before you left his car in the parking lot (it's not even his own car, nor his own jacket, but he hasn't the heart to tell you). he's jealous of you, with your hands tucked in the pockets of your jacket, all bundled up in your layers.
then, you scream.
"the fuck was that?" he asks, his voice raised.
"i'm letting go," you say, just a bit louder than his question. you've got this smile on his face that begs for him to kiss you again.
he scoffs. "of what? you don't even have anything to let go of."
"just shout, mihya!"
and so he does.
"FUCK!!!!!!!!"
you laugh. "yes, that's it! just scream!!!"
"goddamnit!" he screams into the sea. "fuck you, dad! fuck my life! agh!" he kicks the sand, but the sand is wet and hard to kick up, so he gets even more frustrated, and he kicks harder. it splatters on the ground like blood.
again, you giggle. "look at you, soccer player. kicking up anything you see."
he rolls his eyes, but he's half-smiling. "you're lucky i left the soccer ball in the car or else i would have kicked that shit in your face."
"but then i would have a broken nose, and i wouldn't be pretty anymore," you quip, pouting.
he marches over to you, as shouting into the sea had migrated him away from where you are standing. he cups your cheeks gently. "whatever. as long as your lip's not busted, or else it'd be pretty hard to kiss you, huh?"
"jeez mihya, you're so clingy today," you tease as he leans into you, burrowing his face into your neck. he claims it's warm, but you can feel the cold touch of his lips right on the base of your neck. all you can do is wrap your arms around him, and you keep your giddiness to yourself by planting your feet in the sand (if you bounce your knees, he'll remind you of how excited you were when he returned your feelings for him).
"teach me something," he mumbles, dodging your tease.
you rub your hand over his back. "what would you like to learn today?"
"i dunno, just anything."
"but that's what you always say!"
"math, then."
you scoff. "i can only teach you so much math! i'm still learning geometry!"
he laughs. "isn't that just triangles and stuff?"
you pull away from his grasp, still holding onto his hand. your fingers are interlaced. "yeah, well... it's hard to explain."
eventually, you decide to review the vocabulary list that you learned in school the past week. you sit down on the sand, taking off your leather bag and pulling out your school notebook, and he sits down next to you, resting his head on your shoulder.
after reciting your fifty words for the week, you close your notebook, and you sling the bag over your shoulder. "well, that's vocabulary for you," you conclude.
"interesting," he says. "now i know what the word 'philosophy' means."
the both of you stand up and dust off the sand from your legs and behinds. he takes it as an opportunity to rub your behind, borderline caressing your ass, and you turn around and smack his hand away.
"mihya!"
"must've been the wind," he jests, giving you his signature half-smirk.
you look at your wristwatch. "ah, mihya. it's five after."
he rolls his eyes. "whatever. he's not going to get back 'til way later, anyways. gonna go gamble whatever money we have left."
you tuck your hands into your pockets, smiling sheepishly up at him. "well, let's at least start walking back to your car in case he does come back earlier than you expect."
...
he puckers his lips.
"give me a kiss before you leave."
rou've got one foot out of the car, ready to be dropped off in front of your house, while he holds onto your left wrist, stopping you from leaving. he looks like he really owns the car he stole: he grips the steering wheel like he's driven the car a million times, and his slouched posture is to show he's not afraid of wondering whether you're going to kiss him or not.
you close your eyes and smile while you lean in.
"i love you, mihya."
"i love you, too."
then, you leave the car and that is the last time michael kaiser sees you before he becomes famous.
...
"she's beautiful, kaiser."
kaiser looks up from his phone.
it's alexis ness, his teammate, who takes a seat next to him on the bench of bastard munchen's locker room. he's being awfully nosy right now, peering over next to kaiser, taking a look at what's on his phone screen.
"my stupid phone from five years ago has the shittiest quality," kaiser dejectedly states. "you can't even see her eyes clearly."
"but you have a new phone just last year," ness points out.
kaiser scoffs, and he starts rubbing his phone screen with the bottom of his shirt, pretending like it'll do something to clear up the photo of you. "yeah, and transferring all these pictures of her fucked up the quality."
ness hums in understanding (he doesn't get it). "well," he begins to pry, "who is she?"
kaiser's smirk that appears on the field, ness notices, is cold and haughty. it is angering, irritating, and would make any opponent of his shudder and scream. it identifies the emperor of the field, and it is an expression that rules over all.
yet, this smile of kaiser's is unlike anything ness has ever seen during his years of knowing him. kaiser's piercing blue eyes immediately soften, and only the corners of his mouth are lifted up in a smile- it's gentle, bittersweet, and humble. ness feels like he's intruding into the depths of kaiser's heart.
"she's my girlfriend."
ness stands up in shock, and he can't help but clutch the back of his head to accentuate his surprise. "you never told me you had a girlfriend, kaiser!"
kaiser can't help but laugh. "you never asked!"
"well, what does she do?" ness asks curiously.
kaiser hums in thought. "hmm. well, when she was in tenth grade she said she wanted to become a writer. dunno if that's changed, though."
it takes a second for ness to process his answer. "you... don't know what she's doing?"
"well, she's probably studying in university right now. can't say for sure what she's learning."
again, ness is confused. he furrows his brows. "are you saying you haven't talked to her since five years ago? since you joined bastard munchen?"
kaiser looks down in what could be described as shame. ness isn't really sure what he'd call it, but it is definitely not pride. it's such a foreign look on kaiser's face, no expression like ness has ever known kaiser to make.
it becomes increasingly difficult for kaiser to defend himself. so, he resorts to a different tactic: he begins to show ness different photos of you. "oh," kaiser says in fake surprise, "look at this picture of her."
it was a struggle to plan dates between the two of you, but on the rare occasion that you and he could hang around your neighborhood, you'd take him to your favorite ice cream parlor. during this particular date, you and kaiser challenged each other to see who could finish their ice cream cone the fastest, but it ended up as a default win for kaiser as you had accidentally knocked over your ice cream and it landed straight onto the ground.
ness is immediately drawn to the exaggerated faux frown on your face, coupled with happy eyes. he looks over your expensive outfit, and then down at where you're pointing in the image: the melting ice cream on the ground.
he laughs. it's a short "haha," and he isn't sure whether it's out of pity, or if he's trying to play it cool for the delusional kaiser, or if it is genuinely a funny picture. but, he looks past the phone in front of him and looks at kaiser, who has this expression that borderlines ignorance and pure joy.
"funny, right? she's so clumsy, i swear," kaiser says, swiping through more photos on his phone. ness cannot help but notice the softness in kaiser's eyes; how unfamiliar it is to see this boy so vulnerable. "take a look at this one."
after screaming at the beach, kaiser let you take control of the music in the car on the way back to your house. thus, you were granted access to his phone- shoddy, yet reliable. it was probably not the best for taking quality pictures, but pictures were memories, nonetheless.
it was a selfie of the two of you, with you sticking your tongue out and holding a peace sign, and kaiser with his eyes laser-focused on the road. he's got his left hand on the steering wheel and his right on your thigh. as casual as the photo was, ness already knew the intimacy of your relationship.
as kaiser pulls back his phone, ness watches kaiser's expression once more. he looks at his phone like he's in love. kaiser's peculiar smile, unfamiliar to his face, was born from the feelings he held for this girl that he hasn't talked to since he was whisked away in the world of soccer.
"i wonder if she watches my games," kaiser wonders out loud. "i mean, i must be that famous to be appearing nationwide, right?"
ness is taken aback by the sudden change of tone. "u-uh, yeah, for sure, kaiser."
kaiser is pleased with ness's answer. then, he goes back to his phone, swiping through more photos, and consequently chuckles. "oh my god, i forgot i took this video. look at this, ness."
the quality is so bad, but at least he can hear your voice.
...
you're holding onto his soccer ball.
your back is turned to him, and you're dragging him along by holding onto his wrist. his other hand is holding his phone, recording you.
"we're almost there, mihya," you call out from over your shoulder.
his hand holding the phone swats away tree branches, and occasionally dried up leaves crinkle beneath his feet.
"jeez, are you gonna kidnap me or something?" he asks from behind the camera.
then, it suddenly comes into view.
it's an open field. it's just pure grass for miles and miles, and for some reason, it's all trimmed.
the camera pans onto you, and it's slightly shaky. you hold up your hands in defense, and you exclaim, "i didn't cut any of this grass, by the way! i just found it like this, and i wanted to show you. so you can play soccer to your heart's content..."
you drop the soccer ball and begin kicking it around. you've picked up some tricks from him.
"there's no goal post though, i hope you don't mind..."
then, the phone drops.
he calls out your name. "i love you."
"i love you too, mihya."
"i love you more!"
"you better make it big, okay? i didn't show you this field for nothing."
"well, you better watch me, alright?"
"i'll always be watching!"
"shit, wait, where's my phone?"

there she goes | rin itoshi
sfw | fem!reader with she/her pronouns
there she goes again.
she passes by him, as she tends to do when she's helping out all the athletes on the field. she walks with a purpose, a quick gait, and it almost seems like she's marching. with one water bottle in her hand and a case holding five others, she's doing her best to hydrate everybody, making sure no one ends up passed out.
what he seems to notice before all else is her big smile, like she enjoys being here in blue lock. it's a kind smile paired with gentle eyes, and if he takes just a second longer to stare at your face he might in fact get completely lost in thought.
then, a water bottle appears before him.
"itoshi, water?"
there you are, standing right in front of him. he looks up at you from his place on the bench.
he takes the water, meekly. "... thanks," he says. "and i told you to call me rin."
while maintaining eye contact with him, you giggle as you reply, "ah, my bad. i'm a bit forgetful outside the field."
you then do something unexpected as he drinks his water– you lean down and grab the towel that rests around his neck. then, you gently pat dry his neck, jaw, and forehead. "you're getting a bit sweaty," you comment. "make sure you dry yourself off once in a while so your skin doesn't get irritated."
you smile at him, a beautiful, bashful one at that.
then, you continue your rounds with your quick stride and exclaim, irritatedly, "igarashi, are you trying to get yourself hurt? stop trying to dive on the turf, you already have a bunch of wounds that are healing on your knee! let me take a look at them!"
rin looks down at the grass.
maybe he'll play just a little bit more aggressively for the rest of practice.
he does so, unsurprisingly, yet unintentionally. he swears he was being careful as he was doing his shuttle runs across the field, but he catches a glimpse of you in his peripheral vision. he really wants to think you were watching him, but he can't be so sure. even so, he runs just a little bit faster. the persistent thought remains in his mind, it consumes him so, and he ends up face-down on the ground as he trips over his own feet.
immediately you rush over to him and set him on his side to keep him from choking on the blood of his epistaxis. in quick and concise movements, you plug up his nose with a cotton ball and you ask him, "are you okay? do you know where you are?"
no.
"yes."
in your arms.
"at blue lock."
you sigh in relief. thankfully, rin seems to be oriented. you sit him up and hold onto his shoulders as you tell him, "we're going to take you to the medic so you can rest. you haven't been playing well all day."
to anyone else, he would have popped a vein at that. but since it is you, all rin can do is resign and pull himself up.
as the two of you walk out the field, all of the blue lock eleven team along with the bench exchange odd glances at each other, as if they've come to a unanimous conclusion.
then, it is the two of you in the hallway. walking side by side. silently. alone.
"sorry..." you start. rin glances over at you, who is looking at the ground in discomfort.
he slows in pace, and you do the same. soon, you both come to a full stop, looking at each other.
"i didn't mean to say you weren't playing well, not in that way, at least," you clarify, clasping your hands together in sheepishness. "i usually am watching you, and you looked a little... distracted?"
rin takes a moment before he replies. you are usually watching him? you?
well, of course you are, he thinks to himself, you're the assistant medic for blue lock, after all. of anybody that should be kept in the most pristine, healthiest condition, it should be him. there is definitely no other reason that you should be keeping your eyes on him only.
though, as he quickly files through all of the interactions he's had with you in the few weeks that you've made yourself known in blue lock in his memory, they all seem to show the same thing– your gentle smile, your kind eyes, the soft touch of your hands. you are clearly nothing like he's ever known during his time at blue lock; you're someone who looks beyond his talent, someone who seeks for the humanness of rin itoshi.
for once, rin is rendered speechless, nor can he simply scoff and brush off your apology like it's nothing. he stares at you with slit eyes, trying to come up with a semblance of a reply.
so, he decides to be truthful.
"i was distracted."
"why?" you ask. "if there's something on your mind, we can talk about it. is it the upcoming game?"
rin hesitates. "no," is all he can say. how can he talk to you about what's on his mind, when you're the one distracting him in the first place?
"rin, i can't help you if you don't tell me what's wrong."
his gaze softens. whatever was tense in his body ultimately relaxes, and rin feels at ease.
"you called me rin," he says.
you let out a humored exhale, and you give him a bashful smile. "yes, i did call you rin. you told me to."
rin licks his lips out of habit and turns his gaze downward, towards the ground. for some reason, he can't look at you.
he feels like a boy, a child free of hatred and grudge.
what have you done to him?

01:30 - yoichi isagi
sfw | fem!reader
a/n: i can't stop thinking about bllk boys as ravebaes... here's isagi as a one of a kind ravebae. inspired by bay area/socal raves
you hate to say it, but... you've lost your group.
it doesn't help that you're stuck in a sea of sweaty people dancing, flashing lights blinding your vision, and melodic electronic dance music so loud you couldn't have heard your group that you came with that night shouting your name several groups of people away from you. the stress built up in your ears so much that you don't realize that the headliner's playing your favorite song, right at the good part.
then, to make matters worse, you drop your phone.
you crouch down quickly to grab it, even knowing you're at risk of getting trampled on.
just when you think the night couldn't be further from a total nightmare, someone steps on your phone. then, almost your hand. now in tears, you look up to the sky.
at least the night sky's pretty, you would think, if someone isn't hovering over you.
the guy's a little bug-eyed, probably from the anxiety of you crouching down in this large crowd, or maybe he's on something. the latter seems to be disproven when he holds out a hand for you to take and, coherently, shouts to ask you, "are you okay?!"
you take his hand and he pulls you up (you remember to hold onto your now-broken phone as you're pulled up forcefully). in response, you shout back, "no, not really! i lost my group!"
his wide, blue eyes now swirl a hue of concern for you.
"oh, god, do you see them anywhere?!" he asks, but this time just speaking clearly into your ear. no sense of personal space is there between you two: his hand still holding yours, with the other behind your neck, pulling you close.
you scan the crowd once more, but to no avail. you frown and shake your head no. you make a mental note to tell your friends to build a totem for the next rave.
then, the boy bashfully smiles. "well, i've lost my group too! we can look for them after this is over!"
you smile back, your anxiety dissipating. then, the hand still holding yours interlocks your fingers. he pulls a kandi off of his wrist and onto yours, and as you read the beads, you realize he's introduced himself to you: "yoichi."
"your name's yoichi?!" you ask. he nods excitedly. in exchange, you give him one of your flirty kandi; it reads, "ur cute <3".
bashful as ever, yoichi smiles gleefully, then turns his head towards the headliner. they're playing another one of your favorites, and the best part is coming up. yoichi also seems to recognize the song, and he crouches down.
immediately you understand he's giving you a shoulder ride, so you carefully hop on his shoulders (which, as your legs feel them, are very nicely sculpted). with the support of people around you, he stands up slowly and you're lifted into the air just as the best part of the song plays.
lights dance before you, and you can't help but let out a laugh as you watch fireworks flash all around you.
yoichi's flustered as he holds onto your plush thighs. it's been his wish to give a pretty girl a shoulder ride, and to have someone like you on his shoulders is nothing short of a dream. he's laughing too, in pure bliss, and he grips onto your thighs just a little bit tighter.
aight i'm done

02:09 - asakura shin
sfw | fem!reader, hc that shin could see dreams if he concentrates hard enough lol, mentions of sex
how peaceful.
it was a blissful night, one full of young love and inexperienced hands. only the soft light of the lamp on his nightstand remained alive. yours and shin's clothes were strewn about the floor, and the two of you laid naked under his thin blanket. your combined body heat was enough to warm the both of you.
you were fast asleep, tired from your first time with shin. your head rested on his bare chest, an arm wrapped around him. your breathing was steady, a sign you'd been asleep for long.
shin, however, was wide awake.
there was no way he could sleep; after pining for you for so long, he finally had you. all those years of waiting paid off. it was worth it if he got to see you pinned underneath him on his bed, a shy smile gracing your face and silly laughter that shook about the room along with euphoric moans– not to mention the occasional "shh, we can't have sakamoto hearing us," followed by a "he already has, he just doesn't want to barge in on us."
thinking about that got shin blushing.
he began blushing even more when he heard your thoughts that whispered in his ear. you were indeed asleep, but when the world was as quiet as now and all he could hear was your steady breathing, something as innermost as your dreams could come to life as clear as a movie.
though he met you in a setting far from the typical high school, your dream took place in such. the details were murky, but it was as reminiscent and nostalgic as a memory and it was as cliché as a romance manga.
flower petals flew all around you, clutching onto your book bag, as you glanced at the cherry blossom trees in full bloom. eager students walked past you, paying you no mind. you were clad in your own school uniform as well. it was a beautiful first day of school.
shin could feel your excitement starting school, with your beating heart and evident smile on your face. like any shoujo manga female lead, you were in your own world as you twirled around in your skirt, getting a good look at all the trees around you.
it was, however, by your own clumsiness and faults that you accidentally bumped into a student walking by. he grabbed your shoulder, holding you steady, and he uttered a "woah, are you alright?"
you looked at whom you could have bumped into, and it's none other than shin himself. he was flustered at how handsome you had imagined him to be in your dream. much like the male lead of a young girl's comic, he had bright, shining eyes and a sparkling aura that surrounded him. even rosiness adorned his cheeks.
shin chuckled to himself. how cliché could this dream get? it reminded him of the shojo manga and manhwa heisuke and lu, respectfully, have lent him from time to time.
he let go of your shoulder, and you took a step away from him, albeit reluctantly. you turned around to look at him once more, and he found that the distance between you and him grew nearly three meters in a matter of seconds.
he guessed that in your dreams, people didn't walk, they tended to hover to their destination.
"wait..!" you called out in your dream. "before you go, what was your name again...?"
cherry blossom petals blew past you.
"i'm shin," he called back. "what's your name?"

00:18 - osamu miya
sfw | fem!reader, she/her pronouns used
you didn't know what you were expecting, honestly.
you downloaded hinge for fun, making sure to include witty prompts in your profile, coupled with your gorgeous face. it wasn't like you were taking this seriously at all-- maybe when you become older and a little more desperate, but you were still young so you just enjoyed hinge as if it were a game to you.
still, you sifted through all your likes and pressed X for the multitude of men only just wanted to "meet up irl" or "tryna get that ig." whatever! was there even a man out there that could match your humor that you clearly displayed in your own profile?
as you scrolled through numerous of boring profiles, you came across a handsome young man with big, grey eyes and a broad back. he clearly was not good at taking pictures of himself, nor were his prompts anything good, but the voice prompt had you struck stuporous.
to the prompt "Favorite food," all he said was "Food."
laughter in the background followed, and you could make out that kansai dialect of his with that single word. but more importantly, what kind of an answer to a prompt was that?! 'food'? you're supposed to list a kind of food!
it made you smirk, and so you tapped that heart next to the voice prompt and closed out of the app immediately to scroll through other apps on your phone.
not even fifteen minutes later, you received a hinge notification that blared, "osamu matched with you!" you couldn't even recognize the name, but knowing that he was one of two people whom you liked while scrolling through hinge today, you must think that this is the favorite food man.
you opened the app to find that he hadn't even messaged you anything yet. then, a speech bubble with the familiar three dots appeared, then quickly disappeared. then, once more.
osamu: Yo
you huffed out a laugh. all that, just to message you with "Yo." so, your conversation with osamu ensued.
you: hii
osamu: Whyd u like my voice prompt instead of the other ones? Lol
you: cuz whose favorite food is just food? 😭😭
osamu: Mine is
osamu: I like a lot of food so its easier to just say food
you: oh 💀
you: well do u have a current favorite?
osamu: Hmm
osamu: Well right now I really like onigiri bc Im just starting up my own onigiri business :)
you make a point to check his profile once more to view his job. "chef," it states.
you: oh cool, what's it called?
osamu: Onigiri Miya
and from there, the two of you talked about all sorts of nonsense. as it turns out, you both share the same humor, and you learned that he has a twin brother that's gone pro in volleyball. he learned about all your likes and dislikes, promising that he'd cook your favorites one day.
morning came, and many mornings after, you and osamu continued talking. not even a week later, you met up with him at his restaurant, a meeting that almost felt like a reunion. you two hugged each other tightly and exchanged numbers, and spent the rest of the day together.
safe to say, hinge was promptly deleted on yours and osamu's phones.

13:34 - asakura shin sfw | fem!reader, she/her pronouns used 1.3k words
there she is again.
shin watches you enter the convenience store, grocery list floating around in your thoughts. cooking oil that your mother has requested that you buy (she's the reason you're out on this inconvenient convenience store trip, you were hoping to spend the day lounging around at home). your favorite brand of strawberry milk that you might as well get since you're out. your sister's favorite brand of potato chips that she texted you to get for her.
just like the past few times since he had first seen you in the store, you're just as pretty as ever. you've got this bored look on your face, one riddled with annoyance due to your mother, but shin finds it cute.
he smiles when the two of you make brief eye contact, one that lasts just barely over a second, a smile not only at you but also the fact that you looked his way in the first place.
sakamoto, adept as ever at reading facial expressions, doesn't need clairvoyance to understand that shin's taken an interest in the girl perusing the store. sakamoto watches shin's lovestruck face, his eyes nearing the shape of hearts and his cheeks and ears dusted with pink all over.
'how cute,' sakamoto thinks. he reminisces of the time he first fell in love with aoi, a picturesque love at first sight, set in a convenience store just like this. his story seems to be the opposite of shin's, where the store clerk, now, is the one who's fallen for the customer.
immediately, shin turns to face sakamoto, who's got a blank stare as he slurps on his nissin ramen. "sakamoto...!! i heard that!"
again, sakamoto remains blank-faced.
then, shin sighs. "it's not like i can do anything about it. i'm a worker and she's a customer. it'd be weird for me to make a move, don't you think?"
'not exactly,' sakamoto thinks. he looks down at his watch. it's almost 2 pm. 'your shift is almost up anyways, shin. lu and heisuke should be arriving soon.'
"huh? i thought i don't get out 'til 5 pm, though."
in response, sakamoto just stares at shin until he understands. then, he blushes. "oh..."
then, some rustling occurs from the other side of the counter. "excuse me... i'm ready to pay."
it's you.
sakamoto takes a step back and lets shin be the one to ring up your items.
you lay all of your items out on the counter haphazardly, all over the place. it's sort of silly in shin's eyes, knowing your thoughts behind it. 'agh, my sister seriously wanted five bags of these chips... and mom, does she really need three bottles of cooking oil? they better both pay me back as soon as possible.'
you look down meekly. 'please don't judge me,' you think, 'i just want to go back home.'
shin is silent. is now the time to strike up a conversation? should he be 100% professional and remain quiet? he's getting more and more flustered, so much so that he can't focus and rings up four bags of chips instead of five. he's feeling the same amount of stress as he would during an assassination mission.
"um... i think you need to scan one more bag of chips," you say.
you spoke to him. your voice is cute. you're cute.
just as quiet as your thoughts, he responds with a simple "...oh, you're right. sorry."
then, he hears a blessing.
'he's cute...'
after keeping his eyes down for so long, he glances up at you, who's already staring back at him. you're a little shocked from how sudden he looked up. especially with after that one little thought of yours, you may as well think he could read your thoughts.
you swallow dryly, flustered with his brief yet intense glance.
'he's finally the one scanning my items. it's always the guy behind him,' you think. you look up at his apron to read his name tag. 'shin...'
shin blushes heavily. it takes a great amount of effort for him to ask, "do you need a bag?"
"yes, please."
then, you're carrying 4 bags out the door, saying a "thank you, have a good day!" over your shoulder. despite carrying mainly bags of potato chips, what you're carrying is quite heavy and is slowing down your walking. even if the walk is only ten minutes, you think you may need to stop halfway to give your hands a rest.
you hear a faint "wait!" from behind you. when you turn around, it's the cute store clerk jogging up towards you.
"hey," he says, not even out of breath. he hasn't gotten an apron on, but you remember his name-- shin. "do you need help carrying your bags?"
you don't answer his question, and instead you ask one yourself. "aren't you supposed to be working right now?" it's not a question out of annoyance or malice, but pure curiosity.
"oh," shin says nervously, "sakamoto let me end my shift early. business is slow today, anyways."
you silently cheer to yourself. shin can hear the fireworks go off in your mind, and he has to do the best he can from confessing right then and there.
you give him two of your bags, beaming at him. "okay, then. my place isn't far from here."
the two of you walk side by side, and it's a silent walk. you're both keeping silly little grins to yourselves. yours is due to the cute store clerk helping you out, and shin is smiling because he can hear all of your thoughts; his feelings are not unrequited.
you break the silence first. "you're shin, right? i saw it on your name tag."
"yep, that's me. and you are...?"
you give him your name, and it's a beautiful name. you're beautiful.
"it's nice to meet you, shin."
he blushes. "nice to meet you, too."
"y'know, my mom wanted me to get all these groceries, but she wanted me to go to the grocery store downtown. she insisted i didn't go to sakamoto's, even though it's closer, 'cause it's 'too dangerous.'" you laugh to yourself. "pfft, ridiculous, right? i decided to go to sakamoto's 'cause..."
'because of the cute store clerk i'm talking to right now,' you think. 'wait, that's a little too personal, especially since we just met.'
shin smiles slyly, turning to you. "because...?"
"ah, i forgot."
shin nudges your shoulder with his, laughing. "you were definitely gonna say something, say it!"
you laugh, too. "no, no! i actually forgot!"
he can hear you affirm to yourself, 'he's so easy to get along with. i want to keep talking to him, but we're almost home...'
you stop in your tracks and turn to him. "we're almost at my place, it's just a couple houses down. i can take the bags from here."
he silently gives you the bags, a pout forming on his face. it's almost as if shin is trying to tell you he doesn't want to go just yet. "can i at least walk you there?"
you giggle. "sure."
by the time you reach the gate to your house, the sun is setting. "well, here's my place. thank you so much for helping me out. i really appreciate it."
both you and shin lean against the gate. he huffs out a laugh, trying to play himself as nonchalant. "it was nothing. i'm glad i got to meet you."
as the two of you are beginning to say your farewells, there's a whisper that hushes all around the two of you, stemming from your thoughts. 'please, ask me out. please, ask me out.'
shoving his hands in his pockets, looking up at the sky so as not to show you his flustered face, shin starts, "so, uh..."
you look up at him, a glistening hope in your eyes.
"would you want to get crepes some time?"
