you were Kei’s best friend, aside from Tadashi, of course. and it wasn’t long until he developed a “teeny tiny” crush on you. i mean, who wouldn’t? you were the kindest and funniest and the sweetest person ever. he even made a secret playlist dedicated to you.

the only problem was that he had trouble expressing it, especially in verbal ways. whether that be from his pride or just pure embarrassment of having a crush. so how did he drop hints?

acts of service.

little things like paying for your stuff, tying your shoe laces, bringing you lunch, helping you out with homework, etc.

“you dumbass, i told you to bring a jacket…” he muttered in feigned irritation as he wrapped his own jacket around your shoulders, the light drizzle wetting his hair.
