"My honey, what is it? Has my charm captivated you?"

The sound of Karamatsu's voice snapped you out of your daze. If you were being honest, he was totally right. 

It was a warmer day than usual today, so Karamatsu decided to wear his shorts with flashy gold shoes. You'd wonder were he got such expensive-looking shows, but you couldn't tear your eyes away from the shorts. 

Still, you were starting to look suspicious. "Hah, yeah." You said in a non-committing manner. A red blush appeared across his cheeks and ears.

"O-oh." He mumbled, shifting his sunglasses to cover his face. "Heh, of course you would. It's only natural." He said after he calmed himself. 

You nodded, continuing to stare. You didn't really understand why so many were disgusted, did they not see he was super hot?! Well, whatever. It's less competition for you, anyway. 

"Actually, I've been meaning to ask you something, my darling." He said cooly, putting a firm hand on your shoulder. 

You tried to stop thinking about how nice his hand felt on your, instead trying to focus on his words and not look like a drooling idiot.

"Uh, yeah. I mean what is it?" You asked. 

He posed, holding his chin with a finger gun. 

"It would make moi most happy if you were to consider- that is if you have free time, a beautiful gal such as yourself would no doubt be busy with other matters, nonetheless I ask-" 

You giggled, causing him to flush again. "Come on, tell me. I don't bite." 

'Eventually I'd like to though... Oh, he's talking again.'

"Aha, you're right. I simply wanted to ask... Would you like to go on a date?" 

'I really need to pay attention and stop daydreaming, he almost sounded real when he said that.'  You thought to yourself.

You waited for him to say something else, but he only stared back at you with a nervous expression. Did he actually say what you thought he said?!

"O-oh! Sorry, I sort of zoned out." As you said it, he looked relieved.

He rubbed the back of his neck. "So... Your answer?" 

"Sure, where were you thinking of going?" You asked, giving him a smile. 

You could see his eyes widen behind his sunglasses, and he coughed to cover up his shock.

"Hmm, well, wherever you'd like my sunshine." 

You would never get over those little nicknames he gave you... Wait, he just asked you something again, didn't he?

"Hmm, how about we just get something to eat?" You offered. 

He smirked, posing yet again. "Sounds good." He gave a thumbs up.

Luckily there was a restaurant nearby that had good reviews. It wasn't too expensive or fancy, so you didn't feel nervous. Karamatsu, on the other hand had a nervous smile and shaky hands. 

You knew him and his brothers weren't too lucky with girls, but you couldn't believe no one had shown interest in going out with the second eldest brother. You held his hand with yours, smiling warmly at him when he looked at you with surprise.

You did it with the intent of making him feel better, but it seemed to have the opposite effect. He only seemed to look even more nervous.

Soon after seating yourselves a waiter came over to your table to take your orders. The two of you did so and were left to talk amognst yourselves. Usually Karamatsu could talk for hours if you let him, but now he was quiet and had quite the timid demeanour. 

"Kara, what's up?" You called, tilting your head. 

His face flushed and jumped, his sunglasses falling down his face. Calling him a nickname like that had a the desired effect. 

"E-eh, nothing my dear! I'm simply basking in your radiant beauty!" He said, crossing his legs. As he did so, his knee bumped into the table and he hunched over, cradling his sore leg. 

The waiter appeared. "Your order is here." 

"Oh, thanks." You said, stifling a laugh. 'Poor Karamatsu.' 

Thankfully the food was delicious, which made Karamatsu completely forget  about how he hurt his knee earlier. The price wasn't too high, but you decided to half with him since it was fun. You doubt he had enough money anyway. 

Just as you exited the restaurant's doors, there was a rumble of thunder from above. You looked up in curiosity. 

The sun was shining a minute ago, there's no way it would start raining suddenly, right-?

You spoke to soon, as in a flash there was a downpour of rain, the freezing droplets making you shiver. Karamatsu noticed this.

Without a word he took off his leather jacket and handed it to you. It was pretty much a dream for you to wear something of his (especially if it was after he took off the rest of his clothes) but there wasn't even a hood on it!

Still, you appreciated it to an extent. Then, a thought occurred to you. Your house was close, the two of you could just bolt it there. 

You grabbed Karamatsu's hand and ran for it, although both of you were pretty much soaked to the bone. 

Eventually you made it to your house. Quickly, you opened the door and sighed, the coldness of the droplets making you shiver now that you were in your warm home. A shower would fix, wouldn't it?

You turned to Karamatsu to tell him he could go first, when you were promptly shut up.

The plain white tank top he wore was rendered useless by the rain. It was completely drenched, causing it to cling to his body. You could see everything.

"My apologies, my Karamatsu Girl." He said dramatically. "I did not see such a disappointing weather report. Had I known I would have- eh?" 

He opened his eyes, seeing you stare at his torso with an increasingly red face. Was that drool on your lips? Before he could inspect more, you blinked and hurriedly wiped your mouth.

"I-it's fine! You can go take a shower if you want, I have extra clothes nearby." You said, your words almost blending together from how fast you were saying them. 

He nodded wordlessly, going into the bathroom.

You sighed, a hand over your racing heart.

'He almost found out...'

                    ________________________________________________

You opened up the drawers in your bedroom, looking for something for your guest to wear. The thunder had gotten worse and turned into a full blown storm, so you supposed he'd be staying here for a while. 

You picked out some plain joggies and a jumper, hoping it'd suffice.

Turning around, you planned to leave them in the bathroom for him to change into, but it looked like he came to you.

Standing there with a towel wrapped tightly around his waist was Karamatsu. His hair was still slightly wet from the shower but it seemed to be ruffled from when he dried it with a towel. 

"Oh, are those the clothes? Thank you." He said, nodding at you. Then he looked at you curiously, causing you to stiffen.

"... Are you okay?" He asked, his thick eyebrows furrowed in worry.

You nodded, shaking your hand dismissively. "Yeah, I'm fine, really!"

He looked unconvinced. Leaning forward he gently placed the palm of his hand on your forehead, then placed both of this hands on his cheeks. 

"You seem flushed, though..." He said quietly, as if he was saying this more to himself than to you. You couldn't help but just stare at him as he had a thoughtful expression. Your eyes needed up going down, and... Was his towel falling off?!

Sure enough, it did. You immediately covered your face with your hands and turned away from him. He only looked at you in confusion.

"Huh? What is it?"

Your voice came out high-pitched without you realising. 

"Y-your towel! I'm not ready! I mean, I have fantasised about it but this is too soon!" You blurted out in your embarrassment. 

There was silence. 

After Karamatsu thought about what you just said, he noticed the sudden coldness of the room. It was his turn to be embarrassed as he wrapped the towel around himself tighter than before. 

"S-sorry!" He spluttered. He hurriedly picked up the clothes that you had dropped and speeded out of your bedroom. Slowly, you removed your hands over your face, your cheeks still hot.

You decided to just pretend that never happened and sat yourself on the couch in the living room, hoping the shows present on the television would distract you from your inappropriate thoughts. After some time, you heard footsteps.

Looking over to the source of the sound, you saw Karamatsu looking sheepish by the door way of the living room, not meeting your eyes. He shuffled into the room, sitting down on the couch quite the distance away from you. 

Nothing was said for a moment, all that could be heard was the low talking from the TV.

"Um," "Y/n-"

You looked at each other in surprise, then laughed. 

"S-sorry, you can go first." You told him, feeling nervous about what he might say. He nodded, clearing his throat.

"About... Before." He started, glancing at you.

You put a hand over you face as if it'd shield you. "Sorry I don't know what I was saying. J-just ignore it!" 

"It doesn't bother me though!" He said, looking you in the eye. You stayed silent, registering his words.

"Wait, huh?!" 

He nodded. "It's true, I'm actually quite flattered."  With a small smile, he ruffled his hair as if he was embarrassed.

You couldn't stop yourself from gaping at him. "Wha? H-how?" 

He laughed slightly, causing heat to rise on your cheeks. "I don't think anyone looks at me the same way you do... If it's you, I don't mind." 

'No way, seriously? Is this real?'

Suddenly he looked worried, peering at you with an anxious expression. His lips moved as if he was saying something, but you couldn't hear a thing. The room started to get darker, so much so that it eventually got pitch black.

"Y/n? Don't faint, Y/n!!"
