*Shinso’s POV*

I feel all warm and comfy. Almost like I am bundled up in a warm cloud. I don’t want to move. I feel something shift a little beside me and a rush of cool air hits me, making me pull the blanket around me tighter. I hear a low chuckle next to me and that’s when I remember I did not fall asleep in the safety of my room. My eyes shoot open and I look to the side of me. I blush a deep crimson red as I see Tamaki sitting next to me, looking at something on his computer. I try to adjust myself to get a better look, but my moving must have alerted him to me being awake because he quickly closed his laptop and looked over at me, giving me a small smile. “Hi sweetheart, how did you sleep?” He asks me in his soft, but deep voice. He reaches his hand out very slowly to tuck a piece of my hair behind my ear. His voice and his movements tell me he doesn’t want to frighten me.

“I slept great actually. That was some of the best sleep I have had in weeks,” I say as I yawn and stretch out, then make myself comfy and lean my head on his shoulder. He tenses up, but slowly relaxes and gets comfy. “So, what were you looking at that you had to hide so fast from me?” I ask him with a sly smile playing on my lips. He blushes and looks at his hands in his lap, “It’s nothing. Maybe we can talk about it another time, after we get to know each other, if you still want to go on that date and get to know each other that is.” I noticed that he is extremely nervous and is trying not to shake as he rambles. I grab his hand and that startles him. He looks at me with wide eyes. “Of course, I still want to go on our date! If I’m being honest, I have been wanting to go on this date for a long time. I have had a crush on you for a while now,” I tell him, looking away to hide my blush and the fact that I am now nervously biting my lip.

He gently grabs my chin and turns my face back towards him, blushing himself, “It’s okay Shinso. I have actually liked you for a while too, but never was confident enough to talk to you. You’re Mr. Popular. You have all the boys and girls surrounding you that you could ever want, so why would you want me? I’m just the shy guy who stays to himself and doesn’t really have friends. Plus, you’re always hanging out with that little firecracker who seems to be constantly angry at everyone.” I laugh and he smirks at me before letting go of my chin. I lean over and kiss his cheek, causing him to blush a deeper shade of red, “I like you because you’re quiet. You seem like you’d be the voice of reason in my chaotic life, even if I would have just become your friend. And Katsuki is harmless. He just has resting bitch face, rather badly. On another subject though, I am extremely excited for our date tonight!”

He smiles at me and nods his head slowly, looking at his hands yet again, “Me too. So, what kind of movie do you want to watch tonight? And would you prefer to go to the movie or dinner first?” I stop to think about it for a moment. I really don’t like scary movies, but maybe if we see that new one that just came out then I can hold onto him or something when I get scared. Maybe it’s better to do the dinner after the movie so that I don’t barf anything up when I get scared. But do I really want to see a scary movie when we are going walk in a park after dinner? But then again, that is yet another excuse for me to get close to him. Maybe he will hold my hand to comfort me. Maybe he will hold me close. I hope seeing a scary movie doesn’t cause problems for me. It would be awkward for him to find out my secret before we even got to know each other. “Hmmm… I think we should go see that new movie that just came out, ‘No One Goes Home’, and have dinner after the movie, before our walk in the park,” I look at him to gauge his reaction as I say all this. He tenses up and I see a slight frown form on his face. He quickly wipes it off and turns to me, “I’m not too big of a scary movie guy. I’m sorry. Would it be okay if we watch something else? Pixar just released a movie called ‘Saving Toy Island’. Would you possibly want to see that one? I know it’s a little childish, but I really like the animations done by Pixar.”

He looks away from me, trying to hide the fact that he is blushing yet again. I internally squeal at the fact that he wants to go see a Pixar movie and that he isn’t afraid to say so. “Hell yes we can go watch that one!” I say excitedly. He looks at me, shocked, “I honestly didn’t think you’d say yes. You really seem to be the type to go see a scary movie and laugh at it.” I smirk at him, “Honestly, I am terrified of scary movies. I hate them with a passion. I only suggested it because I figured that may be something you liked. I didn’t take you for someone who liked Pixar!” He chuckles lowly, “I guess this is why we are going on a date to get to know each other. So, I guess it’s settles. We’ll go watch ‘Saving Toy Island’, then we will go to dinner then to a walk in the park. Where would you like to eat for dinner?” I don’t have to think very long on that one, “Pizza! There’s a great all you can eat pizza buffet not that far from the theater we are going to!” He smiles at me and leans back into the beanbag, causing me to automatically fall towards him, my head landing on his shoulder again, “then pizza it is! What time is your last class?”

I giggle and lean more against him, “My last class is at 3:15. It’s an English history class. I think I actually have this one with you as well.” He seems to think it over before his eyes widen ever so slightly, “You’re right. And it’s 2:53 now, so I think we should start packing up and making sure we have everything. Plus, I have to hide my beanbag so no one else uses it.” He blushes at that and gets up to start packing his stuff up.

I couldn’t help but tease him, “Hey Tamaki?” He stops what he’s doing and looks back at me, “Yes Shinso?”

“You’re so cute when you blush like that,” I say with a huge smile because I caused him to blush yet again.

We finish getting all of our stuff together. We saved his bean bag, pillows, and blanket in the storage closet of the library. As we finish all that we start to head to class. We are walking close together down the hallway and I feel his hand lightly brush mine. I can’t help the smile that spreads across my face and I slide my hand into his, just holding it lightly, not intertwining our fingers so he can pull away if he wants. As he looks the other way, his grip on my hand tightens and I can see his ears are red.
