You finish your food, wiping your mouth with a napkin afterward. You cast Yusuke a questioning glance once you notice his unwavering stare.

For some reason, Yusuke feels his heartbeat quicken.

"What?"

It felt as though you could see right through him, so he tried to hide his anxiousness behind a nonchalant expression.

Once you called him out for staring, Yusuke tried playing coy.

"Was I?"

And for a moment, he felt his heart had literally skipped a beat.

"I didn't even realize I was doing that."

So he continued eating his ramen, trying to control his feelings. But as he ate his food, he accidentally locked eyes with you.

And somehow, this felt like a very intimate moment to Yusuke.
