"he's not gonna show up", y/n was talking over the phone to her best friend, hirose nori, "i swear i knew-"

"calm down, he's only like ten minutes late", nori insisted, "you're reading too much into this"

"tch"

"where are y'all going?"

"he has tickets to today's V league game"

"seriously?!! on such short notice??? they must be fancy tickets toooo", nori whined, "i'm jealous now"

"how do you know they're good?"

"his dad literally runs japanese volleyball", she sighed, "he's very hot too, might i add."

"wait really- oh", she looked out of the window of her house to see a black g-wagon pull up.

"he showed up, didn't he?"

boy, did he show up.

kousuke was wearing a navy blue jacket over a black shirt, jeans and air jordans. and-

"he's carrying a puppy??? why is he- never mind i'm gonna go", she sighed.

"he looks hot doesn't he"

"he's pretty"

y/n was walking down the stairs to open the door but her mom had already done it.

"hi auntie!", kousuke waved and y/n was dying of cuteness at the puppy in his arms, "my mom says hi"

"kousuke hey, tell your mom we should catch up sometime!", kiyoko smiled back, "y/n should be-"

"i'm here i'm here", she waved and kou genuinely looked like he was at a loss for words, "what's with the cute dog"

"my parents brought him home yesterday and he can't be left alone apparently", he looked kinda nervous, "do you mind if he tags along?"

she shook her head and then turned to her mom to say bye. the look on her face told her 'don't stay out too late'. she only nodded and then she left.

"what's the puppy's name?", y/n asked as they got into his car.

"monkey"

"you named a dog..."

"yes", he nodded with a completely straight face, "can you hold him?"

"say no more", she was only too happy to take the tiny puppy out of his hands and into hers, "hello sweetheart"

kousuke was fucking melting. he was mentally cheering that she didn't have a problem with the dog.

shimizu y/n was a good girl. yes, that was the way to describe her.

she was in the student council. she stayed out of trouble, dominated in academics, was a teacher's literal dream. she could cook, courtesy of her dad who loved to cook for her mom.

she went to parties sometimes, not that they were very eventful for her.

they were very eventful for kousuke though. he was the life of the party. everyone was kind of obsessed with him. he was with a different girl at the start and end of every single one.

how she became friends with kousuke was incredibly simple. he sat behind her in class for all of second year.

and day after day, he made small talk.

'can i borrow an eraser?'
'did you do the homework?'
'how did you do on the test?'
'can you explain this to me?'

when she answered all of his questions without much of a reaction, his questions eventually transformed into small observations.
