Perfect

"Ah~! How did I stumble upon a beauty like you?" You blinked a couple of times when long, slender fingers held your hand while the other hand of his, stroked the top of it. "It's so simple to say that you are beautiful, but!" He paused, throwing his head back, "there are not enough words to say, "would a beauty like you join me in a romantic double-"

Your eyes couldn't follow the man who was flattering you, as he went flying in another direction. You blinked once in realization, turning your head slowly, afraid of how and where he went.

"My deep apologies for our agency's disgrace." a blonde man commented before going after the bandaged man.

"It's no...problem...?" You dropped your head to the side a bit, bewildered by the situation that happened.

"I'm sorry for that," a voice laughed lightly, flowing in your ears like a little melody. You turned your head towards the source; only to see a boy around your age, smiling nervously down at you.

You felt your cheeks heat up slightly, observing every feature he had, carefully: his sunset-eyes, the way his silver hair framed his face in the slightest, and most important of all, his smile.

You didn't realize how long you were staring until your best friend shoved you, snickering to tease you. Little did she know how hard she nudged you, causing you to knock over your tea onto the poor boy.

"Oh, my god! I'm so sorry!" You shrieked, jumping out of your seat. Your head collided with his, which resulted to the both of you retreating in pain.

"It's f-fine-!" he cut his sentence short when he fell back, with you on top.

"(B-Best Friend's Name)-chan!" You exclaimed, both you and the boy's face red from the tips of your ears to your cheeks.

"Oops~" she winked as she blew a kiss.

You two made eye-contact afterwards, only to avert your eyes elsewhere. Both of you were on the ground, him on his butt [his cute toosh] and you on your knees. The awkward silence grew more and more as you two just stayed there.

Until, of course, he got up, lending a hand to help you up.

"Th-Thank you," you shyly took his hand. When he pulled you up, he introduced himself.

"I'm Nakajima Atsushi, n-nice to meet you..." Atsushi's cheeks were as bright as a red moon, flaming hot as burning matches. He swore, just by looking at you, he could pass out. To yourself, you were just an average looking individual, nothing special; to him however, oh boy, this weretiger could guarantee that it was love at first sight. You were a shooting star in the dark night.

Atsushi could feel something tingling in his chest, unsure of it he stared directly into your eyes, gazing. Though the moment he did, he was lost in your pretty (Eye Colour) irises. He was distracted; surely in the galaxy of your eyes, everything felt new.

"Atsushi? What an interesting name." You giggled, making Atsushi feel a bit light-headed from the kindness emitting from you. Interesting? He thought to himself, curious of what you meant. His name was just another, just another person in the billions. Though, by your small compliment, it made him feel giddy.

Atsushi soon found himself smiling as well, just on pure reflex. By your smile, makes him smile.

"I'm (Last Name) (First Name), it's a pleasure to meet you as well, Atsushi-kun." You didn't think it was possible to smile any bigger, but you did. You were intrigued by the fact by someone you just met, could make you smile so much already.

Both of you were definitely captivated by one another that you two totally forgot about your surroundings.

"Alright, lovebirds," (Best Friend's Name) started, breaking the endearing first sight of each other. "you two are starting to gross me out." She finished.

As soon as she finished her claim, the two of you snapped out of it, soon after turning away from each other in embarrassment. You gave her a death glare, her already knowing what it was for.

Yeah, I just ruined your moment. You could hear her saying in her head, just by the smirk she was giving you.

"Moment", we just met. She could hear you saying, by the scrunched face you were giving her.

Your best friend raised her chin and slung an arm over your shoulder, whispering words that turned your ever red face, an even darker shade if possible, "I saw the way you two looked at each other~" she breathed, "the adoration in his eyes, and the curiosity in yours~" she whispered.

"SOMEONE'S IN L-"

"AAAAAAHHH!" You yelped, slapping your hand over her mouth.

A few days later

You found yourself thinking about Atsushi, the boy you met a few days before. Staring down at your pencil and paper, you couldn't think about what you were planning to write anymore under the question: Hobbies/Stuff you like to do on your free time?

Yes, you were filling out a job application. Being a graduate, you at least had to get yourself a job that could pay to support yourself whilst studying (Subject).

Though, your mind was filled with many thoughts, remembrance.

His hands were soft, gently touching your hand, you could still feel his grabbing yours. He was delicate, almost as if he was scared he was going to break me, your eyes became half-lidded, your chest clenched a bit. But, we just met. Why? You released a loud sigh, grabbing locks of your own hair, tugging.

"Gaaa! It's so frustrating!" You exclaimed, dropping onto your desk flat.

Upon hearing your complaints, (Best Friend's Name), your roommate came to check on you.

"Hm, (First Name)-chan, are you al-" she stopped herself as she didn't know what to make of your situation.

"Urgh...huuuuuuu." She watched as you wiped yourself all over your desk, back and forth, weird and awkward sounds being vocalized from you. Not too soon after, she witnessed you throwing yourself onto the floor. With a defeated look on your face, (Best Friend's Name) pinched the bridge of her nose and made an assumption.

"Let me guess," she paused, nudging you with her foot, "that boy."

"Yessssss..." prolonging the "s" in your response, you slowly started to slip under your bed.

"Alright, Juliet. Get out from under there." She grabbed your ankles and yanked you out with one strong pull. She let out a heavy sigh and patted your head. "Why don't you ask him out?"

You pouted, "I can't just ask him out, what if he says no?" Having the thought of him refusing your invitation made you even more confused. You felt your chest clench more than before as your pout turned into an unhappy frown. You weren't sure of this new feeling, love, you weren't very experienced with it. It was something you've never really felt, until you met him. That's when everything came like a present, with every mystery inside.

"Oh, come on. Have you seen the way he looks at you? He's basically head over heels for you! If you don't call this love at first sight, I don't know what will." She shook your shoulder gently, trying to gesture some sense into you. "But, (Best Friend's Name)-cha-" swiftly placing a finger on your lips, she silenced you. "Ah, ah, no buts. If he refuses, he doesn't know what he's missing out on," she smiled sweetly, "you're the prettiest girl I've ever met, (First Name)-chan. And the only."

You wrapped your arms around her tightly, letting out a squealed "aw". She hugged back, nuzzling against you as well. "But of course I'm lying, because I'm first."

"Pfft, (Best Friend's Name)-chan!"

A week later

You approached the office where you received an application from, dropping off your resumé as well. A secretary came and picked it up, allowing you inside for a few moments before the agency would have their final answer. [Let's be honest, y'all saw this coming]

You stepped inside cautiously, not sure what to expect from your (may) soon-to-be colleagues. Though, the moment your eyes averted away from your feet, they landed on familiar sight.

Your breath became ragged, your heart clenched, your stomach churned but, your eyes couldn't stop looking. Seeing him again gave you a wave of emotions, any of which you could not describe.

Atsushi had noticed you at the same time you noticed him; what he felt was relief, he didn't know why. He didn't know why, but was so glad he got to see you again. Maybe due to the fact he longed to see you? Maybe just yes.

"Atsushi-kun!" The boy suddenly heard his superior whisper loud enough for only him to hear. When Atsushi turned his head towards the bandaged man, he tilted his head slightly, a small curious look on his face.

"Yes, Dazai-san?"

"Go talk to her!"

"Eh?" Soon enough, Atsushi realized what was happening, but was too late to react. Finding himself clinging to you like his life depended on it, all because Dazai couldn't help, but to want you two together.

Your cheeks burned with utter surprise, both of your eyes wide and staring directly at each other. It was embarrassing for the two of you, his arms wrapped around your arms and waist desperately as you stood their stiff as a board. In front of all his colleagues as well, but, none of you wanted it to end.

Unfortunately, the moment that thought entered you mind, it was interrupted by someone clearing their throat. Once he pulled away, the little ounce of warmth from him left as well. Which made you a bit unsatisfied.

"Oi, brat." Another familiar person you've seen before pushed his glasses up, a brow raised at his subordinate. "What do you think you're doing to-"

"Kunikida-kun, did you know the more you push up your glasses, the more wrinkles you get?" Dazai interrupted, an arm slinging around his partner's shoulder.

"R-Really?" Ah...so gullible. You and Atsushi thought.

"Mhmm! You should write this down," Dazai waved cheekily, though out of the corner of his eye, he gestured his head in a direction signalling he was giving the two of you a chance to talk.

"...gives you wrinkles..."

"But I'm only kidding of course."

From behind the door you and Atsushi just closed, could hear the sound of Kunikida's pen breaking and a loud crash and bang with a screech saying "DAZAI!" in the midst of it.

"Haha.." you laughed quietly, looking at the door with an amused smile on your face. Atsushi laughed along as well, as quiet as yours- he wasn't laughing at the sounds though, he was laughing along with you, smiling because of you.

Once you turned your head towards him, both of you became a teensy bit flustered, staring at each other with a little surprise, cheeks red. Until you smiled softly at him, your kind eyes making his heart flutter. It was vice-versa as well.

"So.." Atsushi nervously rubbed the back of his neck, obviously wanting to say something. As his cheeks were still pink and the smile still on, you felt a bit light-headed just looking at him (in the greatest way).

"W...W-Would you like to go out on a date?" You blurted too quickly, covering your mouth instantly after. You hoped you said it too fast that he couldn't comprehend: "Wha..."

"U-Uh! Y-You don't have to if you don't want to, I completely-"

"Y-Yes!" And now it was his turn to cover his mouth and retreat a little. Your cheeks burned even more than before, even more than the time you two first met. God, who knew your second meeting was gonna be so interesting?

Of course Atsushi was a little embarrassed, him being the one to be asked instead of him asking? But, he couldn't ask for anything better.

"R-Really?" Your attention was now focused on your hands, unable to look him in the eye, you giddily started fidgeting. You heard an agreed hum, hands that felt familiar touching yours again.

"I really want to." That was it. That was the confirmation that couldn't make you feel any more...relieved.

"...I'm glad, Atsushi-kun..."

Little did you two know, ears were listening on in behind the door.

"Those two are..really something, aren't they?" Yosano laughed awkwardly.

"Hm~ Atsushi-kun and (Last Name)-chan are really inexperienced and awkward, but," Dazai paused, a smile rising on his face, "they're perfect for each other."
