It was a quieter summer afternoon, the taps of keys and subtle sounds of shuffling seeming much louder than usual. School was out, and the team didn't have much to do just yet. So, being the introvert you were, you stayed inside.
As usual you sat on the sofa next to Fuuka, sliding over a fresh glass. She was focused on her laptop, but feeling your presence she looked at you and smiled.
"Oh, thank you (y/n)-kun." She said sweetly, and you smiled back.
You weren't particularly vocal about it, but you two were actually dating. Right away you were drawn to her kind soul and soft voice - that anxiety you felt with most people evaporated with her.
"It's okay. Make sure you stay hydrated in this weather." You replied, feeling a little concerned.
Noticing you peering at her face, she giggled. "Hehe, I'm really fine. It's cooler in here anyway."
You pouted a bit, only a face she could see. "Still..."
On the other side of the room, Junpei narrowed his eyes, fingers interlocked in front of his chin. Yukari noticed, raising an eyebrow.
"What's with you?"
"Hey, do you think something's up with them?" Junpei asked, for once ignoring her tone.
Yukari glanced at the unknown couple. "Huh? They're acting the same as usual, aren't they?"
"But their 'usual' is..." Junpei trailed off, gesturing at them. Yukari turned again.
Fuuka was back on her laptop, and had began absentmindedly biting her thumb.
"If it's this way, then... No, it should be..."
You were momentarily distracted by her lips, but shook your head with a blush. "F-Fuuka,"
"Hm?" She turned, thumb still resting on her lips. Slowly you took her hand and looked at her thumb.
She stared at you in surprise, but enjoyed your gentle touch.
"Good, the skin isn't broken. When you're focused, you lose sight of everything else." You pointed out, only slightly scolding her. You actually found it cute when she was concentrating.
"O-Oh!" Fuuka's tinged slightly pink at your firm gaze. She always thought it was cute when you were nervous, and it helped her be courageous too. But she also enjoyed when you showed your cool streak like this.
Junpei shook Yukari's shoulder a couple times. "See, see?"
Yukari grumbled to herself. "Quit it! They just have a similar personality, of course they'd get along well. Fuuka and (y/n)-kun are both pretty quiet."
"But those vibes... it's unmistakably that of a couple!" He said confidently.
She wasn't very convinced, but took another look. Now that she did, you two were sitting pretty close... Fuuka looked a little shy too, but then again that was just Fuuka. Was something going on, or was this just normal for you both...?
While they were thinking it over, Fuuka and you had moved on to another topic, chatting about the things you usually did. You were mid sentence when a yawn forced its way out of your mouth.
"Are you tired? I'm sorry for making you finish that movie with me..."
Quickly you shook your head. "No, I wanted to! But, a little..."
Fuuka smiled. "You can be easy to read sometimes, (y/n)-kun!"
Blushing, you glanced away. "Well, I don't mind if it's you..."
"Um, would you like to nap for a bit? I don't need to go anywhere, so you can use my shoulder if you'd like." Fuuka offered.
"Really? Um, well..." You began to feel nervous. Sure you were close away from others eyes, but right here in the lounge? But the sofa did feel comfortable, and Fuuka always carried a nice scent. "Then..."
"Hooooooold it!" A loud voice made you both jump, turning to the source in shock.
"J-Junpei?" You asked quizzically, confused and on edge.
He had dashed from the other side of the room, looking desperate.
"You guys are confusing me, just tell me straight already!"
Fuuka's eyes were wide. "Tell you what?"
"Are you two dating or not?" He almost looked exhausted from having to think it through. "You're always so close, but not obvious enough to tell... It's driving me crazy over here!"
Fuuka and you exchanged an incredulous look, unsure of how to continue. Your heart had began to pound hard in your chest- you weren't a fan of being put on the spot like this. What if this goes really badly?
Your girlfriend noticed your shifting gaze, and steeled herself. "Y-Yes, we are dating!"
Junpei closed his eyes with a sigh. "Finally, I can rest ea-, wait, you are?!"
Following behind him, Yukari shook her head. "What's it to you anyway? They would've told us on their own time!"
Fuuka giggled a bit. "Sorry for hiding it, Yukari-chan..."
You nodded, finally lifting your eyes from the floor. "Yeah, I just didn't want a lot of attention over it..."
At that, Yukari shot a glare at Junpei who winced.
"... Sorry man..."
Feeling a warm touch to your hand, you looked to see Fuuka smiling at you lovingly. At some point you noticed your heartbeat had slowed to its regular pace, she always had that effect on you. You held it back, squeezing her hand gratefully.
