Innocence

Please?

You look at your phone. 11:17pm. You sigh, knowing you were the one that had to make a move.

You: Terushima-san

Terushima: Yes, cutie pie-chan?

You: Can we hang out again?

Terushima: What?

You: Please?

Terushima: Sure, but why? If you don't mind me asking

You: Cuz you're really nice and I want to get to know you better

Terushima: Are you serious?

You: Of course! You were really nice to me the last time we were around each other. I want to get to know you. So, can we spend some more time together?

Terushima sighed, not knowing how to respond to your text. He wanted to agree, but at the same time he was unwilling to spend more time around you. You were innocent and he didn't want to be the one to ruin that. But he was also interested to know you better.

Terushima: Sure, why not. Would ya be ok with coming to Miyagi? I can show ya around, if you'd like

You: That would be great! I'll see you this weekend! I'll let you know when I arrive at the train station in Miyagi

Terushima: Alright, see ya then

The older boy puts his phone down, thoughts racing in his head. 'Is this even a good idea? She's a year younger than me and is the most innocent girl to ever exist, and I'm probably the worst person she could ever be around. Why does she even want to be around me?'

His eyes widened when he thought of a possibility. 'Could she maybe... like me? If that's the case, then I gotta make sure these feelings of hers don't stick around. I can't be the guy she ends up in a relationship with. I'm just not right for her.'

You smile in your room, already picking possible outfits to wear when you meet up with Terushima once more. In the end, you settle for a cute little outfit that matched your personality. You wondered how Terushima would react when he saw you. Excitement coursed through you as you imagined different scenarios between you and the older boy.

You realized you were more interested in him than you've been interested in anything else your whole life. You wondered how Terushima felt about you, if he liked you as much as you started liking him. Maybe he wanted to get to know you too, but you had no clue if he really did or not.

'Please let things go well this weekend. I want to at least be good friends with him. He's really nice and was willing to talk to me when no one else wanted to. Maybe we can have the chance to build a close relationship. Oh, please, please let's have a good time and get to know Terushima-san better.'
