Every afternoon, he traveled with you on the train. He knew your schedule and your arrival station, one before his. He'd never spoken to you before, just watched you. He thought you were a very cute and interesting girl; you were his crush.

Today was a rainy day, so people didn't want to get wet, so the train was quite crowded. Shigeo found an empty seat, and when he looked to his side, he realized you were sitting next to him, reading.

His heart raced, and his cheeks blushed softly. You were even prettier up close. Suddenly, your book fell. You both scrambled to pick it up, and your fingers brushed against each other.

"U-Uh, sorry!! Here you go..."

Shigeo mumbled nervously, smiling awkwardly as he brought the book closer to you.
