How many days had it been? Ten. Ten days and Kaoru was already head over heels. Ten days and he was longing for the other to even look at him.
It was a crush, plain and simple. He sat next to the upperclassman in English, doodling hearts on his paper out of habit, blushing frantically whenever they had to discuss something. Ten days and his heart raced from the mere sight of him, blush giving off a scarlet shade when Zack smiled.
Ten days wasn't a lot. Only two school weeks. Sighing nervously, he walked out of class, feeling the other tug on his blazer. It was the tenth day, and Zack had stopped him. He raised an eyebrow, blushing already before the older male piped up.
"I was wondering...would you like to hang out with me today?" A smile, a nervous laugh, and it had Kaoru's heart soaring. He nodded frantically, smiling happily as he chatted with the other endlessly, dismissing the Club he had to attend to. After that, he gave his number to Zack, and got a 'I'll call you!' shouted from afar, as well as a kiss blown in his direction.
Ten was his lucky number.
