𝐒𝐮𝐠𝐮𝐫𝐮 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲, 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐬 𝐟𝐚𝐫 𝐚𝐬 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬. Rintaro had opened the sunroof of his car once she saw an approaching tunnel. Quickly, she stood up and stretched the top half of her body through the opening.

   His music blared through the underground tunnel as Rintaro screamed at the rush of the wind and adrenaline. Suguru looked up to her with a smile, watching momentarily as wind pushed through her hair before looking back to the road. It made him feel at ease that he had made her happy for a night after treating her so poorly these past few weeks.

She slumped back down into her chair and closed the sun roof once she saw the tunnels opening. "Well, at least my hairs dry now." Her dainty fingers pinched the seams of her dress to fix the way the wet fabric lay against her skin.

His dark eyes peeked over to her with a small smile curling on the sides of his lips. "Not me, I guess I'll just have to suffer through my wet hair." He turned the volume knob to the left, lowering the music that previously echoed through the shelter of the tunnel.

Rintaro looked to him and smirked, "You shouldn't have danced in the rain if you planned on complaining."

"Hey, you looked like you needed a dance partner. I was only doing you a favor, no need to bash me." He raised a hand in the air in defense, earning a look from the girl.

   Rintaro studied what she could see of his side profile quietly, with his jet black hair currently parted to the side, it shielded most of her view of him. Yet, she continued to stare lovingly, feeling tings of appeasement to be shrouded in his essence.

"You know, you cause a lot of trouble when you're drunk." Suguru turned to face her suddenly at a red light, actively scaring the peaceful girl out from her passing thought as she jumped.

"I didn't even think I could get that drunk, I felt so alive." Her bright eyes flashed towards his grinning lips that always spoke words of velvet. She wanted to kiss him so bad, but it never felt right to do so, so she opted for biting her own and imagining her teeth to be his.

But that wouldn't hold her back from the trance his soft lips had woven her into. Especially, once she started to invade his space of the drivers seat. Her eyes were glued to them and so desperately she wanted his lips to be glued to hers.

Until, he slyly betrayed her by looking towards the road once more upon seeing the traffic light flash it's neon green glow at them. "That's just what alcohol does to you." A light chuckle emerged from his throat as the details of the night flashed in pieces throughout his fogged mind.

"Suguru, I honestly had so much fun with you tonight. Do you think we could do it again sometime?" Her fingers lay comfortably in her lap, fidgeting with each other to ride out the uncomfortable silence. "Like a second date?" She held her head low to block his view of her with her dark hair.

"Are you being serious?" Suguru prodded, tension and butterflies fluttering in the safety of his digestive organs. "I would love a second date with you, Rintaro." His hand encircled the gear shift to force himself to resist every temptation that pulsed through his mind.

  The Gojo took note of this and took the chance to softly grab his hand from the circular piece and place it against the skin of her exposed thigh.

His head immediately flicked towards the limb shrouded in the new warmth of her soft skin gracing the rough feel of his palm. He quickly glanced up toward her face to be surprised with the face of relaxation she wore under his touch.  To soothe her further, he began to lightly graze his thumb against her thigh to calm himself down as they both relaxed in the silence.
