(Y/n pov)

"what?! What do you mean it's cancelled?! So you are telling me that you are not coming?!" I say, the irritation and disappointment underlying my tone as I speak with Anya on the phone. I sigh and shake my head looking at the distant amusement park feeling the disappointment eat away at my mood.

Now, I stood waiting for Anya to arrive at the amusement park since the party was cancelled and she wanted to meet a guy over here. Of course, meeting up with strange men in an amusement park can be quite dangerous for a young woman to go alone. So I agreed to go with her. So here I am. Alone. Leaning against my car as Anya speaks about compensation and apologizing for what occured.

"Okay okay...fine. I'm leaving-"

"No! No no! Stay. Stay. Stay and enjoy your time y'know...haha..." I heard Anya speak. There is something going on. I narrow my eyes into the distant park.

"What's going on...don't tell me..." I was cut off by the sound of footsteps approaching. I bite my lip nervously and shift a little trying to ease my discomfort of being alone in the quiet parking lot.

"Oh? Y/n?" I heard that familiar deep and raspy voice speak. The scent of a familiar sweets and cigar invades my nostrils. I take a deep breath through my nose as I heard the faint voice Anya still speaking through the phone and saying goodbye. I sigh and turn to look at him.

"Kirishima...hey~" I say trying to hide the internal turmoil that's slowly starting in the pit of my stomach. I saw kirishima scan my face and I force a smile as I jab my left thumb nail in the right palm of my hand. Something I do to control myself in these kind of situation which never occurred to me.

I saw kirishima's gaze drop to my hand before rising to connect with mine. I smile, trying to keep calm and friendly. My eyes start to travel from his face down his Adam bob and lower on his body. Kirishima wore a white shirt with a black leather jacket on top and black jeans. "Interesting style." I thought as my eyes drift down to his jacket and I felt the corner of my mouth lift up in amusement. My gaze rise to connect with his.

"So...it's just us huh?" He spoke with his usual nonchalant tone though I heard a faint disappointment underlying his tone. Or perhaps is it excitement. I shook my head mentally to brush these thoughts off and try to deal with the situation.

"Yes. Seems so. So...what do you want to do?" I say, avoiding his gaze and pretending to look around the parking lot. I heard his footsteps and his presence close to him. I glanced at him and noticed his gaze looking at the amusement park. I bite my lower lip and jab my left thumb in my right palm thinking about how to. One approach him about the boyfriend situation. Two about what to do in this situation.

"Should I just say...how do I even approach the topic nicely. Does he have someone. What if he did have someone. The what ifs are getting out of hand. I need to find something..but the what the hell am I supposed to do?!" I thought as my mind rambled on and on. I felt my chest tighten as bile rise in my throat. I gulp and sigh.

"Do you always hurt yourself?" I heard his faint voice speak. I turned my head to look at him only to find him already staring at me with those eyes. "Oh...those eyes..." I thought as I gaze into his eyes feeling myself getting lost in them. As quickly as I got lost I found my ground and my panic changes into confusion.

"What..."I say, confusion written all over my face as I keep my gaze connected to his. I heard him sigh and grab my hand. He opened the palm of my hand and looked at it as if indicting for me to do the same. I look down at my palm only to realize that there was blood drawn out. Something I never realized till he spoke. I probably pressed my nail too hard into my skin.

I felt my cheeks heat up as I open my mouth to speak but no words came out.

"I- no I was just..."I stutter not knowing what to say. I avoid his gaze and look down at my palm. Kirishima didn't reply. He dug his hand in the pocket of his jacket and took out a napkin. I kept my mouth shut and let him do whatever he is doing. Kirishima start to softly wipe the blood from my palm then wrap the napkin around the wound.

"Don't do that. Don't do it again. Okay?" Kirishima spoke, his voice soft and gentle as if taking to a child. Part of me felt a bit pissed about the way he spoke to me. As if I'm a child. But another part of me longed to be talked like this. Longed for a partner who actually cared and treated you gently.

I bit my lower lip and nod. "Okay..." I say but it only came out as a soft whisper. The way he spoke to me just now convinced me to tell him. Whatever his judgement is, at least I tried. Right?

"Uh...can I tell you something?"

"Yeah..."

I clear my throat and look at him.

"Okay so basically. Uh...my mother. She wants me to have a boyfriend and find love and settle down. The thing is that I didn't find anyone I'm comfortable with and I don't even think I want to be with anyone yet. But there is a family event coming up and I have to go there and I need to go with someone. But as you know I don't have-

"Breath."

I exhale a deep breath I didn't know I was holding. I sigh and was about to jab my thumb nail in the palm of my hand but I felt kirishima grip my hand. I look at him, the confusion written all over my face.

"I told you...don't hurt yourself..."he spoke, his voice came out as a soft whisper. My cheeks heat up as I felt my heart start to race. I gaze into his eyes with my lips part slightly at his actions. "Does he not realize...how...gentle and soft he is...but oh...I wonder what it would be like to be...held by him..."  This thought ran through my mind as quick as a flash. I blush and look away noticing the gentleness in his gaze towards me.

"I understand...so...you want me to be your fake boyfriend?" Kirishima says, a hint of doubt and amusement underlying his tone as he speaks.

"Yes" I nod.

"Okay...I accept your request."
