You woke up the next day far earlier than normal. Making the most of this time, you made your hair look nice and put on a bit of makeup. It was springtime and you were going to a casual café, so you reached into your closet and chose a cute yellow sundress with a floral pattern. Looking yourself over in the mirror, you decided that this was the perfect look. You just hoped that Ai liked it! Checking the time, you saw that you had finished getting ready right on schedule.
You show up at the cute little café, a place you enjoyed going before you met Ai. As it turned out, he also liked this particular place, so you had agreed that this is the perfect location to meet for your date. 'Date.' You loved the way it felt to think about that. He showed up only about two minutes behind you, at exactly the time you had agreed to meet. He smiled even wider then before when he saw the dress you were wearing.
"I really like that dress on you! Y-you look very cute!"
He said you looked cute! Your cheeks turned almost as red as his at the compliment. "Thank you! You look very nice yourself!" He turned more scarlet, if that's even possible. "So, shall we go in?" You giggled as you realized you two had been standing on the sidewalk without even making a move for the door.
"Of course!" Ai jumped and opened the door for you, grinning politely. You thanked him as you walked through it and into the cozy and welcoming café, where a few other people sat about with coffee and chatted about this and that. You both ordered and sat down, enjoying each other's company.
"So Ai, um, how did you get so good at swimming? I'm sure my brother would love to be as fast as you are!"
"Really?! You think I'm fast? I- Thank you! Lots of practice I guess! I practice every day so I can be as fast as Rin-senpai!"
You laughed gently at how he turned red yet again. You began to wonder if he'd ever return to his normal color! "That IS the best way to get good at something I guess! So, why did you start swimming, then?"
"Well, I have asthma, and swimming is a good sport for me because of that. It builds lung capacity! Anyway, tell me more about you! What do you like to do?" He quickly changed the topic from himself and waited eagerly for your response.
"Um, let's see. I like drawing, but I don't think I'm very good at it. I also like movies, anime, and I love to read.."
"How about your brother? He goes to Samezuka? Who is he?" After a bit of conversation, you were beginning to see that Ai was a bit of a chatterbox.
"Oh, yeah! He's a second year, B/n!"
"L/n-senpai is your brother? Rin talks about him! How cool!"
"Yeah, B/n and Rin are friends. Maybe we can all hang out sometime!"
He excitedly reached across the table and took your hands in his own at the indication that you would want to see him again. "That would be great!"
You reciprocated, gently squeezing his hands, and he turned the color of a tomato once more when he realized the contact. You then happened to notice the grey clouds forming in the afternoon sky, smiling. You had always found this weather calming somehow. "Hey Ai! Look at the clouds!"
Instead of watching the sky with you, he watched your face as your eyes lit up in happiness. He loved the way your smile grew when a light rain began to fall. You then looked back to him, excited about the drizzle, when your eyes locked and you saw the loving gaze he had directed towards you. You shift your stare downwards in embarrassment. "W-what?"
Ai then caught himself, and laughed nervously, still holding your hands. Neither of you had moved your hands the entire time. He giggled, stating "It's raining, do you think we should stay a while longer?"
"Yeah, I do."
