~ Boyfriend, Dove Cameron

senior year. it was strange to think you had been at this school for 4 years. graduation was right around the corner and prom was tonight. despite attending Jujutsu University, an international college based in Japan, the school decided to host a prom. an american tradition from the United States. typically celebrated in high school where everyone would wear the best dresses and tuxedos they could find and the night spent with friends and classmates as they partied the night away. you had walked up to the front doors of your school, your arm linked around your friend Geto Suguru, who you had met when you first transferred here. people throughout the country and world attended this school and that allowed you to make many friends and learn about other cultures throughout the world. amongst these friends you had met Geto. he was the first friend you made, being sat next to him in class. that being said, you both agreed to be each others prom date for tonight. though the two of you were just friends, it wasn't uncommon for people to speculate the two of you dating. you both had been inseparable since the day you met. sure, Suguru was attractive, but you weren't interested in him that way and he didn't show signs he was interested in you, though he was never an easy character to read. it was always hard to tell what he was thinking. stepping into the massive gymnasium it had been decorated from top to bottom with flowers, vines, and earth decor. the theme had been Enchanted Forest, though the theme never truly mattered as no one really matched the their outfits with it anyway. despite that, the yellow lights strung through the vines that covered and outlined the doors outside was a nice touch to feel like you were stepping into a new world.

after a couple of hugs and greetings from friends, you and Geto had walked off to get some food and drinks. you chatted as you ate, getting a few people walking up to the two of you every now and then. it wasn't long before a girl had approached Geto, asking him to dance. he stands up, taking her hand and leading her to the dance floor, leaving you on your own at the table. you smiled at all the students who had showed up. it was uplifting to see everyone enjoying themselves, especially with exams coming up. it was a nice breather from studying. you had dozed off into thought as you watched Geto and the girl dance together. "hey, what are you doing just sitting here?" you look up at the voice, a smile forming on your lips. the boy looked where you had been looking, his smile fading a bit but he immediately pulled it back, taking a seat. "do you like him?" the boy asks. you give him a funny look but then look down at your hands sitting in your lap. "no," you respond quieter than intended. he scoots his seat closer to you, leaning his head into the palm of his hand. "you don't?" he asks again, you don't answer, looking away from him. "hm. i would've thought different since you're always flustered with him around. at least that's what i always see," the boy chuckles. you snap your head at him, looking straight into his eyes "shut up, Satoru! i don't like him!" you quickly say. "alright," he chuckles again, raising his hands in defeat. you look away again your face turning a light pink. "i don't get flustered around him either," your fingers start to fidget, circling around each other. he didn't respond, instead he looked back at Suguru on the dance floor. "it's a shame," he finally speaks after a moments silence. you look up at him confused, following his eyes to the man dancing. "he's really missing out on a beautiful girl. shame he went to dance with her instead of you," Gojo says. your eyes come back to look at Satoru who you found already staring at you. your face burned as you locked eyes with him. "i won't make that mistake though. come on," he smiles as he stands up, holding a hand out to you. "come dance with me, Y/n." you take his hand, your own hand shaking in his as he lead you to the floor. swaying to the music, Satoru smiles at you. "don't be shy, now. just breathe," he says, taking in a deep breath. your hand clenched in his, he gives a soft laugh at the feeling of your hand tensing around his. "what's wrong?" he asks, leaning to your ear so no one close by could hear. you freeze up at the sound of his voice, a shiver going down your spine and a tingle going straight to your heart. "i'm... uh. i.. i just," you step back from him. he gives you a worried look as you stumble, holding you tighter so you don't trip over your dress. "i need to use the bathroom!" you say before running off.
