  You sigh frustratedly at your brother, a student at Samezuka academy. "Y/n, you have to come to swim practice with me to see how much I've improved! Please?? It would mean a lot!" He had been begging you to watch him swim for a while now, and you didn't have any plans that day, so you decided to agree this time. He quickly enveloped you in an excited and grateful hug.

  Later on that week, you showed up to see how he had gotten better. You had to admit, it was quite impressive. It was also quite enjoyable to watch all of your your brother's friends, including Rin Matsuoka. After practice was over and the people began to leave, you ran in the direction of your brother to congratulate him on his betterment. On the way however, you bumped into Rin, causing you to fall over into a somewhat large puddle caused by the large number of swimmers exiting the pool. You weren't soaked, but the moisture was enough to be very cold and uncomfortable, and patches of your clothes clung to your damp skin. The setting sun and cooling temperatures were not in your favor, either. You and Rin began to laugh hysterically and he helped you stand up, offering you a hoodie because neither you nor your brother had brought one. "You can borrow this to stay warm and to cover up the water, just return it to me as soon as you can," he offered with an apologetic smile. You gratefully slipped it on and gave him a hug in thanks. Turning to your brother, you told him how fantastic he'd done today and, with a quick goodbye to Rin, you were on your way.

  You had planned to have your brother return the hoodie to the redhead, but as it turns out he had fallen a bit sick. You sighed in frustration and called Rin. He picked up saying he was out at the moment but his roommate would meet up with you outside the dorms to pick it up if that was okay with you. You agreed and hung up, setting out towards Samezuka.

  When you arrived at the dorms, you looked around for the roommate you'd seen at practices and the like before. He was rather cute you thought, with his silver hair and blue eyes, though you didn't even know his name. He was only about an inch taller than you but that only added to the charm in your opinion. You quickly spotted him walking towards you with a shy smile and you waved, grinning back. You half skipped up to him, clutching the giant hoodie. He gently waved, seemingly distracted by something. The awkward silence was too much to bear, so you laughed a bit and chirped a quick "I've seen you around at my brother's practices, what's your name?"

"O-oh, sorry! My name is Nitori Aiichiro! May I ask yours?" You giggled at how formal he sounded. "My name is Y/n! It's cool to meet you!" He blushed, albeit too lightly for you to notice, at your words. Your hair was covering one of your eyes, (hiding behind it was something you had grown to do subconsciously when meeting new people,) and you jumped a bit when he reached out gently to push it back. "Sorry, I'm sorry, I just wanted to see your whole face beca-" he stopped himself when he realized how creepy that had sounded. You smiled shyly and responded with an "Oh yeah, I'm sorry, I mean, here-" and tucked the hair behind your ear. Once again, an awkward silence ensued, so you decided to do something about it. You thought this guy was pretty cute, and you didn't want this to be the last time you get the chance to talk to him. "Hey, you seem cool, and you're a pretty good swimmer! C-can I have your number?" His eyes widened and he almost looked confused. However, he nodded happily and you handed him your phone. He then offered you his and you quickly filled in your name and number. "I'll text you later, I mean, if that's okay with you," he internally cursed his awkwardness but stopped talking before he made things worse. "That sounds great! I look forward to it!" You reassure him with a cute grin. You quickly held out the hoodie, almost forgetting why you were here. He reached out to take it, hands lightly brushing your own.  "Well, I should be going, um, have a good afternoon Nitori!"

"Oh, you can just call me Ai if you want! A-and, I hope you have a good afternoon as well, Y/n!" Y/n... He liked the way your name felt when he said it.

  Almost as soon as you got back to your room, you sat your phone next to your pillow and made sure the ringer was on, waiting for Ai to text you first. You didn't want to seem annoying. Eventually your mind began to wander, and you thought about how sweet he seemed and how cute it was when he stuttered, how much you loved his hair, and how pretty his eyes were, and how crazy you were for fawning over a boy you had just formally met. You took a deep breath and closed your eyes, about to drift off, when you heard a chirp from your phone.
