Prologue
"Everything I've never done, and would never do because I'm too listless to do it. I want to do it with you. Do you feel the same?" The snow is getting in their hair, in their cheeks, in their eyelashes but none of them blink.
She laughs because of the way he phrases it and he wanted to laugh with her because how dumb he can be, he can't even say it outright, but he can't, not just yet, because he had to hear her answer. He had thought of rejection but decided to stay positive. Facing her now and waiting anxiously for her reply was a whole other level though, and she had laughed—he doesn't have a freaking idea what that laughter means, he never knows with Shiraishi, she was still a mystery even after all these years—his courage is depleting faster than he would ever be.
Her laughter waned and something was burning in her gaze but she didn't say anything, just stares at him. Shiraishi likes to stare. Shiraishi also loves to wear loose sweaters in weekends. Her handwriting is neat and nice and she loves to cook, great at it too. She also had a hobby of tugging her shirt whenever she's nervous. The way she sounds over the phone, the way the sunshine plays with her hair and the way she squints while reading because she forgot her glasses is something he'd never get tired to hear and see. And sometimes, like right now, whenever she didn't know what to say she would laugh nervously but a while after she gathered her thoughts she would stare at the person she was talking to before answering them. It was like she put all of her focus towards you as if you were someone important and special.
Damn, her eyes were penetrating but he can't look away.
Oota told him that he loves her and he realizes that he does when she accidentally touches his hand and his heart skips a bit.
Tanaka catches his breath when her eyes glazed and she started to reach out. He remembered that her hand was warm that day as it touches his cheeks, and when she slowly smiles, that shy small smile he adored so much, he had held his breath.
"Of course. I love you too."
A/N: Heya, guys. So I wrote the draft of this story a long time ago so please I would like to know what you think (what you expect/feel).
P.S. I'm a big Tanaka X Shiraishi fan and had been sad when I discovered there aren't many fics out there so that's why this fic existed. I hope it had piqued your interest~!
