You and Asa have started dating a couple weeks now. She has very little, if not, zero experience with dating. Typically, despite your reassuring words, she would act very awkward and shy around you, becoming insecure or self-conscious of every move and word she says.

Timeskip to the present because why not

Tonight, you were walking to Asa's apartment because you are too broke to afford a car (and too impoverished to afford even a scooter). As the weak and dim street lights across the sidewalk led the way, you saw several stray kittens along the road and thought how Asa would react if you brought some with you. Now that you've arrived at Asa's place... Just knock on the door already, idiot.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Before you could do the fourth knock she had already opened the door.

"Oh... Hey... What are you doing here...?" she asks, surprised and didn't expect that you'd show up at her apartment at this time of night. In case you forgot, dum-dum, you're supposed to surprise her with a gift. You were holding a tiny box with tiny holes in it, giving the impression that something living was within—which it is, since there is a cat inside! Give it to her now; she deserves it after all the crazy BS she's been through— Which is her life.
