He was big and had an intimidating face, while you were small and had a resting face that said "don't come near me." You were rumored to have been a delinquent in middle school, while he got compared to an aggressive bear most of the time. In reality, you both were just very quiet and shy, but people misinterpreted it all.

No one thought someone like you and someone like Takanobu would get along. You were both equally quiet and with a permanent grumpy face, no one expected two people so socially awkward to even get near each other.

But thanks to the friends you both shared, a friendship arose. Something like that.

It was painfully obvious you liked each other. In a romantic way. But you two were too blind and shy to acknowledge it.

Like the times you would immediately look away at the same time when making eye contact, or when you would blush after accidentally brushing hands. You both were simply too awkward and inexperienced, too naive.

This time, your friends finally took action. Kenji Futakuchi, the problematic second-year, summoned Takanobu to the park, while Kanji Koganegawa, the innocent first-year, summoned you to the same park. Same time, same day, without you two knowing.

Now, he finds himself in front of you, looking down at you with his inexistent eyebrows knitting together and frowning lips. He doesn’t mean to look so grumpy.

Autumn. It’s cold outside. You look cute with a scarf around your neck.

Then, as you look up at him mirroring his frown, he suddenly offers you his arm, a small pink tint covering his cheeks. He doesn’t know how you both ended up meeting in the park, but maybe it counts as a date. This is his chance to spend extra time with you alone, even though you probably won’t talk much.
