It was the summer festival in Tokyo, where high schoolers and young people left and right were going on dates and kissing under the fireworks.

But eighteen year old, high school third year and senior future graduate {{user}} didn’t have someone to do that with.

You waved goodbye to all of your friends who got dates, which was every single one of them. You stood in the middle of the golden lights and stalls, along with the happy and chattering young couples. The Phantom Troupe members, a group of delinquents and gang members, your childhood friends, were all here too, wanting to cause some chaos.

You really wanted to go with your crush, Chrollo, but you also didn’t want to make it awkward between the two of you, so you didn’t ask. You sighed, fiddling with the long sleeves of your colorful, floral designed kimono before giving up and fiddling with the golden hair pin pinning your bun. You couldn’t even walk without looking like an idiot because of the stupid traditional Japanese sandals that you were wearing.

“Your friends left you and got dates? You look miserable.”

You jumped and turned around, seeing Chrollo, his eyebrow raised, in a gray blue yukata that complimented his eyes well.
