Sweet

Eighteen

Suna heaved a sigh as he slung his gym bag over his shoulder. He looked around the gym, making sure that he left nothing behind before leaving. It was a good thing that their practice finished early today. Because of maintenance, they are able to go home by lunch. Normally, one would go to a restaurant to eat their fill or go home to cook their own food but that wasn't the case for Suna. He was to make his way to your cafe because you promised him that you would prepare a bento for him. After all, he would keep you company while you were filming your first vlog.

He smiled at the thought of seeing you again. He hadn't seen you since Sunday because he was so busy but it seemed like you didn't mind it so he didn't fret much about it. With that, he decided that he would make it up to you today. Not to mention, he really missed you and he's actually dying to hug you at this very moment. Days apart from you almost felt like weeks of torture. That was probably his feelings for you speaking for him but he wasn't against that sentiment. He finally resigned to the truth and accepted the fact that he's indeed fond of you once again, in a romantic sense.

Sometimes he finds himself smiling like an idiot while thinking about you. His mind would always wander and the next thing he knew, he was thinking about you and the things that made you lovely. The way your smile made his heart flutter and made his world a lot brighter than it was before. The way you weren't afraid to express your feelings despite not having an official label between the two of you. The way your voice soothes his being like a potent antidote made by the greatest witch of all... At this point Suna thinks you're a dream he breathed to life.

He shook his head with a soft chuckle as he hopped into his car. He couldn't believe he was even capable of thinking about such things. If anyone heard his thoughts they would probably eye him in disgust. Man, he wasn't actually a very cheesy person but when it comes to you he almost can't recognize himself. In a good way of course. Maybe the answer is as simple as: you. You're making him feel and act this way. He's been like this because of you and on that note, Suna thought that he wouldn't have it any other way.

Suna quickly started the engine and drove away, eager to see you. In addition to that, he promised he would help you vlog so he needed to get to you as soon as he could. He wasn't an expert per se but he likes filming: capturing memories he could look back to when years passed. So he knew some tips that could help you along the way. Lastly, being there meant more exposure for you and your shop.

Speaking of exposure, you have been popular with the team lately. All because they thought you were Suna's girlfriend and because of some articles circulating around the internet. Since he didn't confirm nor deny that you're in a relationship with him, after you showed up at the banquet last week, the media and his team were making their own assumptions. Suna, being the carefree man he is, didn't feel the need to say anything regarding it. His private life is none of their business but if the gossip is going to affect you badly then he would speak up.

But technically, people weren't wrong with their speculations. You two are definitely 'something' but nothing official yet. Like what you said, you have all the time in the world to figure it out together and Suna shared the same sentiment. It takes time. Although you two could easily assume the title of being an actual couple, it would be better to start the relationship from scratch. Let the foundations solidify before building anything. With that, it could withstand any storms up ahead.

Suna might have been your close friend since high school but he still didn't know all about you. Secrets are yet to discover, hobbies are yet to be shared, and life experiences are yet to unfold. And all of those take time.

Once Suna resurfaced from his sea of thoughts, he was already near your cafe. Upon arriving, he carefully parked his car and grabbed a packet of topical pain-relief patches from his bag for you. Well... after what happened last Sunday you were suffering from back pains up to this day so he thought he might help you by giving you pain relief patches. Because after all, it was all his doing why you were in pain.
