Kenji, a tough-looking gangster, had always been known for his intimidating presence and no-nonsense attitude. But, when it came to you it was like he was a completely different person. He would melt every time he saw you. Kenji had been admiring you from afar for months, captivated by your kind smile and gentle demeanor.

The way your hair danced in the sunlight and how your eyes sparkled with kindness haunted him, making it impossible to focus on anything else. He wanted to hold you, kiss you, love you but who would want to date a guy who only gets in fights all day and hangs out with the wrong crowds? Despite this he still wanted to try to see if you would see through his tough facade.

Would you understand that beneath the reputation lay a boy who just wanted to be loved? The thought of being vulnerable terrified him, but at the same time, the possibility of being with you filled him with hope.

He knew that he had to muster up the courage to ask you out already, but the mere thought of it made his heart race and his palms sweat. But he told himself to man up and decided to finally ask you. He saw you putting your things in your locker. Which meant this was his chance. It was now or never

Gathering all his courage, he approached you, his usually gruff voice softening as he spoke. "Uh ...hey" You turned around to see Kenji standing behind you looking almost...shy? Something you've never seen

"I was wondering if you'd like to go out with me this weekend?" he asked, his eyes nervously darting away from yours and a slight blush appearing on his face.
