You were never an emotional person, a result of growing up in a toxic household. Not that your parents left you or anything horrible, no no. But they would argue constantly making it seem like they both didn’t love each other even though they wouldn’t split. You kinda followed after that example not really finding the appeal of love all that well as your parents drilled into your head that as soon as you're married to someone, they’ll show their true colors. By the time you would find out how that person really was(mostly the bad things) you wouldn’t be able to leave them as a thing called ‘marriage’ kept the two of you together. 

You were never emotional, unless it was about Senju Kawaragi. That girl had come into your world tossing it and your emotional state into chaos. In the afternoon after school, your mom and dad were both in the middle of a bad screaming match. Not wanting to listen to that, you left to the outskirts of town where it was a little more country. You had found a nice spot to relax, a small sunflower patch on an edge of a small forest, and decided to go there. You must have been tired because your cloud gazing had turned into napping. 

Senju, umbrella in hand, was just walking on the gravel road outside of town. She had needed a walk around some new scenery to clear her head, thinking of what was Brahmans’ next goal. Walking, she stopped in her tracks as something caught her eye. It was two right, not that big that a normal person without sharp eyes would notice. It was a  mear sparkle near a patch of sunflowers. Her uniform sleeves fluttered in the wind as she walked over to the sunflower patch. She stopped right in front of it, looking around it, soon seeing someone laying there. 

‘Are they dead? And what are they doing out so late?’ Truth be told it was late, 11pm to be exact. Senju walked closer, crouching down to your level to see your features better. Thankfully the moon was out and at its highest, making seeing your features a little more clearer. She observed your features under the moonlight till she saw what was sparkling. It was a ring on your finger as you had your arm covering your eyes. It was made up of what Senju guessed were 8 small fake diamonds and one big one in the middle. Under the moonlight it twinkle and sparkle. 

Senju didn’t know why, maybe it was something about how she would have hated it if something happened to your sleeping figure, since there were weird people around Tokyo and their outskirts. So, she sat down next to you making sure she wasn’t going to sit on any sunflowers as you did, watching over you till you woke up. You eventually did wake up, startled seeing that someone was with you. The two of you talked for a bit before she walked you home. The next few days the two of you would meet in that same sunflower patch, growing closer and closer. 

Hanging out more and more often, outside your special spot and in Tokyo, the two of you had caught feelings for eachother. Now here you were, standing in the same sunflower patch the two of you met waiting for her to show up so you could confess. Saying you were nervous is an understatement. What if you ruin the friendship and make her feel uncomfortable? What if the two of you go back to strangers? Yes, you could get over her. But could someone really replace the warmth that she gave you while holding your hand? What about when she would pull you in for a hug? 

 As you were caught up in your thoughts, you failed to notice that she was walking nearer to you. Even when she was right in front of you, you still didn’t notice till she called out your name. 

“[First name].” Snapping out of your thoughts you look up to see her bright smile at you. You swore you were going to drop dead from how cute and beautiful that smile was. Closing your eyes, taking a deep breath, you confessed. 

“Senju, when I first met you here, in the same spot we’re standing now, I thought you were an actual weirdo. I mean who carries around an umbrella in the deadass of night?”

 You said looking down a bit, chuckling. “As we kept meeting I had gotten used to your ‘weirdness’ and found out you were actually a pretty fun and amazing person to hang out with.” Senju blushed a bit of pink, thankful that you wouldn't be able to see because of how dark it was. You didn’t know, but she was also planning to confess to you that same day and spot the both of you were now. 

“Look. What I’m trying to say is I like you! And not just the ‘like’ you use for friends. I wanna be that special person that plays with your hair while cuddling. That special person that you share your umbrella with when it's raining. That special person that you let steal all of your clothes and find cute. I love you!” 

You blurted out, eyes closed not wanting to look to see her reaction. What if it was one of sadness? Pitty? Honestly you didn’t know as you were shaking, until you felt someone(her) cupping your face with her hands, making you open your eyes. Upon opening them you saw Senju, red in the face smiling as bright as she could at you. 

“Of course you can be my special person, [First name]! From the moment we first met you had sparked my interest. As we hung out it was like you put a love spell on me somehow, making me turn away so that you couldn’t see the blush on my face when you smiled as bright as the sun at me. How giddy I would get when we would hold hands together. You will always and forever be my special person, [First name].” 

She said, leaning your foreheads together. “Can I kiss you?” She asked in a quiet voice, probably flustered to ask. 

Shaking your head yes she slowly inched closer till both of your lips connected. It felt as if thousands of fireworks were going off inside of you, heart beating faster and faster every second of it. You melted under the kiss, her hands softly holding your face in place. ‘Omg her lips are so soft ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh’ You thought, internally freaking out. You were indeed right, they were what you oddly expected a cloud to feel like. Soft. After a couple of seconds the two of you broke the kiss for air, red in the face. 

“Awww you're so cute, flustered, [First name]!” Senju teased, grabbing your hand holding it as you tried to cover your face with your other hand, feeling very flustered. Your mind was going a million miles an hour, yet somehow there were no thoughts. It was as if your body automatically responded for you as your brain was frozen. Senju giggled at you as she picked up her umbrella that she dropped, opening it before she pulled you closer to her.

 “Lets share my umbrella, my special person!”
