"What is love?"[Benkei X Reader]

Chapter 5

     Benkei was trying his hardest at flushing out bad scenarios of his date. He tried to listen to some music, hoping it would calm him down. Sadly, His thoughts were constantly thinking of lukewarm tea, fire alarms, and creeps, as well with being creepy. He then remembered that there were other fish in the sea, so he calmed down a bit. On the other hand, he didn't know if his date will talk about this anywhere, so it made his a nervous reck again. This date was basically a make or break for him.

Moments later...
     You looked outside the window, wondering if you got ditched. Considering Benkei's nervous behavior on the phone, you were not surprised if he did chicken out. All of a sudden, that changed when you saw a car pulled up in the parking lot.
"That must be him."

     And it was, he got out of his car, bones rattling and all. He walked in looking for you and it wasn't that hard.
"Hello! You must be Keizo Arashi, yes?"
"Umm, yeah! That's me, but you can call me Benkei." His voice was trembling but calm still. He then sat down across from you.

There was an awkward silence.

"So, what do you like to do?" You asked.
"Oh, well, I like to go around the city, I guess."
"Interesting..."

Another moment of silence.

"What do you like to do?" He asked the returning question.
"I like gardening."
"Really." He said with interest.
You shook your head. "Yeah, I only grew like the size of a mini bouquet, but the flowers are very vibrant." You took out your phone to show him a picture. The flowers were in the sunlight with their bright pink, orange, yellow, and red petals taking in the light. "Don't they look beautiful?"
"Not as beautiful as you." He mumbled with a light shade of pink on his face.
"What?" You asked, also flustered yourself.
"Oh, um, nothing!"
     Once again, the conversation went silent, but it was cute seeing him looking 50 different directions. Benkei was trying to avoid eye contact, after what just happened, but he was doing a bad job at it. When you were looking down, he was staring at you, then when you look up at him, he changes his direct stares.
     You both had lunch together and had some small talk ranging from flowers to his closet.
"That was so amazing," you said as you were both heading out, "I hope we can do this again♡."
"Well, I'm free tomorrow so," he started and soon his voice was getting quiet and soft, "If you wanted to come over at my place, I'll be fine with it." He was blushing a little.

"Sure, I'm down."
