I'm trying hard to make some fluff but I don't have a romantic bone in my body-

Lyk if u cri.

The rest of their date was spent on talking and asking each other all sorts of questions as they learned about each other more while they ate the sandwiches (Y/N) made and drank tea.

"Are you an only child?" (Y/N) inquired.

"Yes, I am. There is only my father and I. It's been that way for years and I most likely will not be acquiring a sibling when he has no woman to bear a child with." He answered tenaciously.

"Ah, I'm sorry to hear that."

"Don't be. I have long since then grown accustomed to my lifestyle now. Especially now that I have you to look forward to seeing most of my days."

"Is that so." She worded skeptically.

Despite the turn of events earlier, the redhead was feeling rather ecstatic. It still felt like a dream to be actually talking to the object of his affections so casually face-to-face on a date without any tensions or hidden motives. He surprised himself when he thoughtlessly invited her on a date out of the blue.

He couldn't remember the last time he had ever been so determined about anything that didn't involve basketball. And he was actually feeling a little anxious.

He. Akashi Seijūrō. Anxious.

He got startled when the girl sitting in front of him suddenly reached out to touch his hair.

"There's something in your hair. Excuse me," She retracted her hand and pulled out what seemed to be a petal.

Akashi froze in his spot as he felt his face heating up, raising his own hand to his crimson hair where she had touched and looked away a bit flustered.

"What's wrong? Are you not feeling well? Should we go ho—"

"You really are one cruel vixen."

"Huh?"

He grabbed her hand back and entwined them with his, "I had invited you out this day in hopes of making you fall madly in love with me," he placed a chaste kiss on her fingertips, "but it seems to have backfired and the opposite happened seeing as I found myself now more captivated by you than ever."

He heard a giggle and saw her smiling at him.

"Ah, you finally smiled." He stated, relieved. He gave her one of his handsome smiles in return and squeezed their hands.

"It's hard to believe you hadn't had a girlfriend before."

"Oh?" He smirked sexily, "I suppose I am just that naturally charming by nature."

She ignored his presumptuous remark and looked up at the sky.

"Look, the sunset looks really pretty."

He gazed above the beautiful, red endless sky. It was indeed a beautiful sight. He had seen many bewitching sceneries but none of them had been as engaging as the sight before his eyes now that he had someone to relish it with. He got up to sit next to her.

"It reminds me of your hair." She spoke.

"Do you like sunsets?" He asked, subtly wrapping an arm around her form.

"I love them. It signifies that another hopefully well spent day is ending and night is coming." She leaned her head against his shoulder.

"Hmm." He grunted, enjoying the feeling of her weight pressed upon him.

"This scene is like in one of those sappy and clichéd chick flicks." (Y/N) blurted out, rising up and glancing towards him. He pushed her head back to where it was.

"Please don't ruin the moment."

"I never said I didn't like them." She closed her eyes and rubbed her nose on his shoulder blade.

He laughed before placing his head on top of hers.

He was too engrossed in the heartwarming moment that he failed to notice the small blush on the girl's cheeks.

The day after

Ding dong. Ding dong.

"I'm coming." (Y/N) opened the door to reveal the blonde who had her arms crossed.

"You're earlier than usual."

"Hmph, of course. You have a lot to tell me on the way to school. Are you done?" Hime linked their arms.

"Yeah, let's go."

They headed into the car as the driver closed the door and started to drive.

"You're in a good mood." Hime commented, facing the window.

"Really?" (Y/N) held her face.

"Well, you're smiling a little. You usually form your lips in a straight line or frown in the mornings. It's good to know you're feeling happy today."

"That coming from you who has a scowl on her face 24/7."

Hime stuck out her tongue.

"So how'd it go yesterday with that guy? Did he do anything strange?"

"Hime." She called out firmly.

"Why did you tell him about it?"

Hime gulped.

"Because I knew he'd understand. I'm sure of it. Uhh..did he talk to you about it?"

"You shouldn't have the right to talk about my personal matters behind my back. Furthermore, without my consent. What if he was someone else? What if he reacted differently?" (Y/N) stared hardly at her bestfriend.

"Yes, but he isn't and didn't. He is good for you. He's what you need." Hime retorted, although feeling guilt-stricken.

"You're still so insensitive. You never think about other people's feelings and always do things out of impulse whether it be for the good or bad. You're as selfish as ever, you couldn't care less towards others when you open your venomous mouth. Not to mention, you're short-tempered. You're such a handful." Hime shrunk back in her seat as her words hit her. (Y/N) was so right that it actually hurts and she couldn't deny it.

"I..I'm.."

(Y/N) grabbed the blonde's hand and lifted it up to her cheek.

"And for that, I couldn't be any more thankful. Thank you for being with me all these years. Thank you for staying beside me. Thank you for saving me. Thank you for caring about me. Thank you for being such an irreplaceable treasure in my life. You're the only reason why I was able to go on."

Hime teared up as she furiously rubbed her eyes with her other hand.

"(Y/N), you idiot! I thought you were mad at me! And can you not make me tear up so early in the morning?"

"You never change. Still a crybaby until now."

"Shut up! Now I remember why it's a good thing you don't talk much!" Hime grabbed a tissue and blew her nose into it.

"Wipe your eyes properly. You don't want people in school to see your crying face first thing in the morning, do you?"

"Just whose fault do you think it is?!"

"Please don't shout so loud. My ears hurt."

A vein popped on Hime's forehead, "Tch. So mean. Anyways, are you going out with Akashi now?"

(Y/N) blinked, "I don't know?"

"You don't know? What do you mean you don't know. How do you not know?! What even happened?"

"We..He kissed me and..I asked him to stay by my side."

"I'm not even going to ask how he answered since I'm pretty sure he probably said something embarrassing."

"What does going out mean actually? So what if you're boyfriend and girlfriend? What do couples even do besides going out on dates and kiss? You know I haven't tied myself down to anyone before." (Y/N) played with the strap of her bag, "Should I treat Seijūrō-san like how I did with the guys I've been with?"

"How would I know? I'm not interested in stupid things like love, but just do whatever the hell makes you happy." Hime replied, flipping her golden locks.

"Okay. Thanks for your advice."

"Ojou-sama, we've arrived in Rakuzan."

Hime grunted as the driver stepped out to open the door for her while (Y/N) let herself out on the other side.

"Thanks for driving us again, uncle." (Y/N) thanked the Nijika's family driver.

"No problem, Ms. (Y/N). You don't have to keep thanking me. It's always a pleasure to be of service to you both ladies. Take care and have fun in school." He waved as he started the engine and drove off.

"Well, I have to water some of the plants in the garden." (Y/N) walked off to the other direction.

"I'll see you in the classroom then."

As she crossed the corner towards her designation, a hand grabbed her from behind. Out of fear and reflex, she instinctively elbowed the creep who did it.

"Oww.." A familiar voice groaned in pain. She turned around to find her supposedly redheaded lover who was currently covering his nose.

"Oh, it's you, Seijūrō-san. I'm sorry for hitting your nose. Is it bleeding?" She held onto his shoulders and stood on her tippy toes to check it. He was dressed in a plain black shirt and some basketball shorts so she assumed he was on his way to morning practice with club activities.

"Don't worry, I'm alright. Good morning, (Y/N)." He lowered his face and buried it on her shoulders, "You smell nice."

"..Good morning. How did you find me here?"

"You mentioned yesterday that you stop by the garden in the mornings to water the plants. May I have a good morning kiss to give me motivation for the rest of the day?" Akashi looked at her,.

"Because you refuse to let me show affection to you in public. Though I don't see why not since you have done it so easily with guys before." He stated, envy lacing his tone.

"..You're different from them." Her words made his stomach churn as he could've sworn his heart skipped a beat.

She looked around their surroundings to find if any students were within their vicinity and fortunately found none. She ushered him to lean down which he happily did before she pecked his nose then pressed her lips to his own soft ones for a few seconds. He quickly responded to the gentle kiss before she could pull away and wrapped an arm around her waist.

After a few minutes without oxygen, he still seemed like he wasn't going to stop. (Y/N) tried to break away from his iron grip on her but found it useless so she decided to pinch his side. He opened his eyes and broke away as he loosened his grasp.

"Go on ahead, you'll be late for morning practice, captain." She pushed him towards the hallway.

"Alright. I'll be off then. Stay away from touble..and other guys, okay?" He spoke over his shoulder.

"I get it. You too. Don't forget you're mine now." She purred at him seductively.

Of course, Akashi was well aware that he wasn't immune to her vixenish ways so he started his own morning practice first by jogging off to the gym before any indecent thoughts could occur to his testosterone filled head.

Staring from the other building, Hime rested her elbow on the ledge of the window as she eyed a running Akashi who had smile on his stupid face.

And I thought he couldn't look any more idiotic and disgusting, She thought in repulsion.
