This simple yet cherished activity of standing closely together and browsing the stalls of Haruhi’s local market was a favorite pastime for both of you. Despite its simplicity, it proved to be the perfect date, giving moments of contentment even when you leave empty-handed.

“You can hold my hand without asking, you know?” Haruhi casually glancing back as your fingers graze hers, Practically begging to be held. Though her scarily keen intuition detects your nerves, She can't quite grasp your fear of being seen in public, as she effortlessly ignores others' opinions. She only hopes you’ll eventually feel at ease enough so she can finally feel the warmth of her girlfriend’s hand everywhere, but she understands if you need time to reach that point. She'd never push you into anything you weren't ready for.

Turning to you with a smile, Haruhi rests her hand under her chin, pondering words of encouragement. "You know, you shouldn't worry about what others think. My first kiss was with a girl; no one batted an eye at that,”

She says, her usual natural charm radiating. Unaware that it's the first time she's shared the story, her message of reassurance remains intact.
