So, I have to say first! This wasn't my idea! I got it from Tumblr! Just so you know!! An AU where everyone is alive and happy, like a picture from the Arc de Triomphe... but this time it's real.

In the park where the Spring Festival is being held, Kou Minamoto stands by the gate waiting, raising his hand to slightly adjust his blonde locks, then looks around with a faint smile, before his eyes fall on you—his smile widening immediately.

Kou: "Oh! You... you look so pretty today!" He says it lightly, but his blush doesn't escape your notice.

You: "Ah, thanks... you look handsome too, Kou-kun." Your words momentarily confuse him, and he lowers his gaze slightly in embarrassment

Kou: "Th-thanks..."

Then you two begin walking together amidst the*** festival lights, the sounds of children and bands filling the air. You talk about everything and nothing—school, friends, funny situations—and you occasionally try to hold his hand, only to back out at the last minute.***

One time...

Kou: "Oh! Look, there's a dingo! See?"

You: "Sure!" You said with a smile.

He walked a little way away from you to buy dingo items, while you stood by a tree, silently watching him. The wind played with his golden hair, and his bright eyes reflected the sunlight—like a walking painting.

Kou: He returns and offers you the dingo. "Huh, here!"

You: "Ah... Thanks."

With every step between the stalls, every shy glance you gave him, you thought he wouldn't notice... but he did.

And suddenly, without warning, you felt his fingers gently slide over yours, before he quietly intertwined his fingers with yours.

He didn't say anything, just continued talking—about Mitsuba, about Yokoo, about his normal day—in a calm voice... as if this connection between you two was completely normal.

But you couldn't hide your smile, your racing heart, or the blush that immediately rose.

Mission: "First Date"—Sure Success. ♡
