●Us?●

The dim lights of the café cast a cozy ambiance, with quiet conversations filling the air. You sat at your usual spot by the window, lost in the pages of a book. A loud crash suddenly broke your concentration, and you looked up to see a familiar face clumsily picking up the spilled contents of a tray.

"Denji," you sighed with a small smile. You couldn't help but be amused by his clumsiness, especially when he was trying so hard to fit into 'normal' life.

He noticed you, his eyes widening slightly. "Y/N! I didn't see you there," he exclaimed, attempting to salvage his dignity.

You chuckled, motioning for him to join you. "Have a seat. Maybe you'll be safer here."

Denji grinned, plopping down opposite you. "You might be right. I'm better with chainsaws than trays."

The two of you chatted about mundane things - the weather, new movies, and random thoughts. The simplicity of the moment was a sharp contrast to the chaos that usually surrounded Denji's life.

After a while, Denji's expression turned serious. "Y/N, do you ever think... about what you want?"

Your eyes met his, searching. "In what context?"

"Life. The future. Anything," he replied, fidgeting with his fingers.

You paused, pondering his question. "I want peace, Denji. Moments like this - where we can just be."

He seemed lost in thought. "I want that too," he whispered. "Especially with you."

Your heart skipped a beat. Despite all the bizarre and intense moments in Denji's life, this simple confession seemed to resonate louder than any of his battles.

"Denji," you began, reaching across the table to hold his hand, "Let's promise each other that no matter how crazy things get, we'll always find our way back to moments like this."

He squeezed your hand in agreement, the promise sealed between you two.
