First Touch || Shinichiro Sano

Chapter 1

"So do you have a boyfriend?"

You rolled your eyes when one of your mom' friends asked you that.

That's why you hated coming home to your mom. People who you only knew when you were a kid asked you personal questions non stop.

You haven't met your mom and your brother in years, because you moved away because of college, and now that you're back, everybody is curious about you.

It was a small "welcome home party" and everybody is nagging you with these questions.

"No." you answered with a small smile.

You tried not to be disrespectful, you knew them since you were a kid, and you shouldn't put your mom in an uncomfortable situation by telling these people to go fuck themselves.

"Oh." Mrs. Abe put her hand on her chest and gave you a symphatetic look. "Don't worry, you'll eventually meet someone."

You fought back the urge to frown and snap at her, and just nodded awkwadly.

"Hey, don't harass my sister like that, she just came home!" you heard your brother yell from somewhere far and you let out a sigh of relief.

Thank god.

Niko saw that you were circled by all of the women and saw your nervous body language, so he decided to save you.

You turned to him with a big smile and he waved at you to go to him.

You noticed he was standing next to a tall man, with black hair.

As you got closer your eyes widened a little when you recognized him.

You reached Niko and he hugged you.

"Thanks, it started to get awkward." you said.

"You can always count on me, sis." he said and then gestured with his hand to the man next to him. "You remember Shinichiro, right?"

"Welcome back." Shinichiro smiled and took a sip of his drink.

Oh, of course you remembered him. The last time you saw him was four years ago. He moved in the neighborhood when you were a teen, and while he was a bit older than you, you had the biggest crush on him.

To your surprise and absolute joy, him and Niko quickly became best friends, and he came over to your house for dinner quite often.

He was very kind with you, when he was in his yard, and saw you come home from school, he always asked how your day was, or when he was over and you complained about your history teacher, he always offered he could help you with that subject.

He asked what part of history you were learning about, and he always told you an interesting story about a historical event or person, which you told your teacher during classes, making her annoyed and impressed at the same time.

When you told Shinichiro how his stories helped you shut your teacher up, he laughed and held up his hand for a high five.

Yeah, that was the most intimate moment you ever shared with him.

Sadly.

Looking at him now, your smile widened. He looked even better, if it was possible.

"Of course, he helped me get straight A's to all of my history tests!" you laughed at the memory.

Niko and Shinichiro laughed too, and suddenly Niko's girlfriend appeared out of nowhere, pulling him to the middle of the terrace to dance.

They started dancing totally off the beat.
