#amoureux.

[ayazure]

It was a hot summer day. The scorching heat of the sun left you filled with beads of sweat. Travelling didn't seem to go well with such heat. Hence, you chose to take refuge under the protection of a huge tree.

Inazuma was a pretty place yet the temperature of their summer made you want to jump in an ice bucket. You were now wondering how Sumeru's would be once you reach it.

As these thoughts ran through your head, you subconsciously grabbed a book from your travel bag. You thought that you might as well read and take a rest. Rush wasn't something you were craving for, maybe unwinding was a better option.

And by unwinding, you wanted to take a glance at the Yae publishing house's new release. It was about a detective who fell for the protagonist — who, 'stole' his job in solving crimes.

At first, the said detective was pissed. He was quite competitive in doing the things he can do and when someone else steals the show, he eventually shows interest negatively. Though the circumstance, the detective eventually realizes that the protagonist was more than a rival. They served as his companion full of compassion. Who wouldn't fall for such a person?

As you were reading such intriguing plot, someone peeked behind you, seemingly reading over your shoulder.

"Oh y/n, you're so dreamy.." You felt the heat of a breath graze over the shell of your ear. The person's soft, whisper-like voice melts into your ear. You had an idea to who the person was but you wanted to make sure. You tilt your head to the side upon where they whispered, only to see both of your faces being an inch close.

You immediately pull away, feeling too flustered from experiencing such heart-stopping moment. After all, you only wanted to confirm the guess coming from the mind.

"Did I startle you?" He chuckled with a hint of sarcasm. It was painted in your face that you were indeed shocked from facing him up close.

"It was obvious.. but anyways, what are you doing here, Heizou?" You asked of his intent. He then rests his hand on his chin and replied " Seeing what you were up to. Witnessing you having your nose in a book was quite the lovely look"

You inevitably raised an eyebrow at his reply. "Huh? I'm just an ordinary person reading a book, nothing too special"

"A person from the stars? Ordinary?" He questions as if you were a criminal committing perjury. "Though you're not shining literally right now, you're still as bright and ethereal" He then says. You thought it was just plain nonsense coming out of his mouth but he probably means it.

"Is there anything that you want? Maybe you do"

Heizou gasps audibly and also, dramatically. "Do you really think of me that way? Now that you say it, maybe I do and it's you " he mumbles the last part intentionally that you barely heard it.

"Were you saying something?" You asked, curious about his reply. "Mhm nothing ! Anyways, what were you reading?" Heizou simply lies through his teeth but you didn't dare to bother no more.

He brushes the space right next to you and plopped himself down. He then peers at the book in your hand. He made sure he was looking at it, thus he moved near. He's definitely close to you again.

"Oh? I read this one ! The characters are totally like us !" He comments quite joyfully. He had you flustered again. The book had a romantic twist but you know, he probably meant the dynamic.

"Definitely" you reply.

Astonished, he gasped loudly. "You agree? Well, I didn't expect that you felt the same way.." You could only raise a brow once again to not raise suspicions nor any forms of misleading reactions. In contrary, you were actually starting to feel sweaty and conscious.

"I need to read so keep quiet for a while, would ya?" You warned with a shaky voice. Seems like you aren't able to hide that pretty well.

Heizou pushed down the book, preventing you from using it to cover your face. "Don't avoid me now. And, correct me if I'm wrong but you sure do know what I mean" He winks playfully.

You couldn't simply handle this anymore.

"I'm the criminal who keeps dropping hints but you're a detective who purposefully avoid them" He says as an irony, a metaphor. Whatever it is, he was actually right in a way.

You zipped your mouth, keeping it shut due to the overwhelming feeling.

To make your state of fluster even worse, he's inches away from your face once more. Holding your hands whilst clasping the book altogether looking like a form of ritual.

"Let's re-enact the book together hmm? Can you really resist now that we're both aware of each other's feelings?" He asks in such a sly but sincere manner.

Archons, you couldn't answer quickly.

You could only smile a while.

"How dare you make me feel this way.. How can I say no?" You eventually reply.

Laughter was shared from you both and that dissipates in the saccharine summer wind.

What am I doing 😭 It's fall season now, not summer. (This depicts how much I procrastinate) Also, I'll proofread this in the morning :')

The fact that "Javert t'es Amoureux" is a song and it was released by the man who played Javert in the original French stage cast of Les Miserables it's absolutely insane in the best way possible and I think we don't talk about it enough
