newfound feeling

chapter 2 Senku

Senku couldn't shake off the intense emotions that swirled within him after the magic show. He found himself captivated by Gen's presence, his jet black hair adding to his allure. These feelings were both intriguing and unsettling for Senku. He had always considered himself straight, or at least that's what he told himself. But as he reflected on his past, he couldn't deny the undeniable crushes he had developed on individuals regardless of their gender.

Lost in his thoughts, Senku's mind wandered back to the conversation with Taiju. His absentmindedness had concerned his friend, but Senku brushed it off with a casual response. Deep down, though, he knew something was changing within him.

Later that night, lying in bed, Senku couldn't push away thoughts of Gen. He felt an insatiable urge to meet him, to unravel the enigma that had become an obsession in his mind. But how could he possibly make it happen? Gen was a celebrity, even if he wasn't at the top of the list. He wondered if there was a chance to meet him, to get to know him beyond the stage.

Curiosity drove Senku to search for Gen online, and to his surprise, he discovered a recent news article about the magician. The headline read, 

"Local Celebrity Magician Comes Out As Bisexual." 

Senku's first thought was that it must have been a slow news day, but he quickly realized that this revelation might work in his favor. It was almost as if the universe was giving him a sign to pursue Gen.

Eager to explore the possibilities, Senku delved deeper into Gen's website and stumbled upon an upcoming meet and greet event. There were only a few slots left, and the price tag was a hefty 50,000 yen. Senku couldn't help but think it was an exorbitant amount of money to spend on a magic show. Nevertheless, he was determined to seize this opportunity, even if it meant pushing the boundaries of his financial limits.

Glancing at the NASA card lying on his nightstand, Senku pondered the consequences of using it for personal expenses. The card had no spending limit, but he knew that any unusual purchases could be subject to investigation. However, the idea of paying 400 US dollars for a chance to meet Gen seemed like a risk worth taking. After all, what could NASA possibly do? It wasn't like they would bring his dad down from space just to reprimand him. With a surge of determination, Senku made up his mind and purchased the ticket.

The countdown to the meet and greet began, and Senku eagerly anticipated the day he would finally meet Gen in person. Every passing day fueled his anticipation, and he couldn't help but wonder how their meeting would unfold. Would Gen live up to his expectations? Would their connection extend beyond the stage, sparking a deeper bond?

As the days ticked by, Senku spent his time daydreaming about the possibilities that lay ahead. He imagined conversations, shared interests, and a connection that transcended the superficial. Two weeks seemed like an eternity, but Senku was willing to wait. This was his chance to explore the depths of his feelings and to embrace a side of himself he had been denying for far too long
