"What kind of date is this, anyways? You sure you aren't kidnapping me?" Tsukasa chuckled.

He had confided in me about his slight fear of the road, so I made sure to be extra careful. I smiled at his joke and shook my head. For a while, we had been sitting in a silence, mostly due to my lack of conversation skills.

Tsukasa, like the angel he was, would spark up small talk to save me from hating my incapabilities. As I stopped at a red light, my eyes immediately darted to the boy sitting beside me. It was like a habit. You could call Tsukasa a sight for sore eyes.

"Fufu, nice try, but not close. This may ruin the magic, but... With your birthday coming up, I wanted to-"

"No way!" Tsukasa pushed his face through my personal space bubble the moment his excitement overtook him.

I looked at him with confusion before turning my attention back onto the road in front of us, sure not to wait after the light turned green. "What?" I asked him.

"Hardly anyone remembers my birthday, or takes me out for it. You've been a first for me with... A lot of things." He grinned and slumped back in his seat.

I blushed and shook my head. I was thoroughly curious about his past relationships- the poor boy hardly even celebrated his birth? I thought about how humble he was, then frowned when I replayed his words back in my mind.

He says that I'm a first for him as if this is a real relationship. I gulped. Surely it's just bad wording. I do like him, but that doesn't give me an excuse to make everything romantic between us. This is just a friendly outing.

"Well, you deserve to at least be spoiled on one day of the year. It wouldn't be fair otherwise." I replied, trying desperately to refrain from speaking anything too romantic or flirtatious.

That was not my goal, but with Tsukasa's perfection right next to me, it was challenging. I'd better pray that he's okay with modest outings. I haven't quite yet decided on a birthday gift, so this is just more bonding time, I suppose.

"You're really sweet, Rui."

"Ah..."

I gripped the steering wheel tightly. I could feel his gaze boring into me expectantly, but I had no idea what to say. The blond would so often get randomly sentimental, or give me compliments to catch me off guard. I could tell he meant each one, too.

"I didn't let you finish. Where are we headed to?" The star changed the topic of conversation.

I realised that for the few minutes of silence, I hadn't been truly paying attention to where I was going. After he asked that question, my mind cleared up a bit. "We're almost there. I... Wanted to take you to the arcade."

"Ah, an arcade? Haha, this'll be fun!" He turned his attention away from me and looked out his window. For the following few minutes, I pondered to myself about our relationship.

I didn't want to lose Tsukasa, so I refused to spill the truth. However, it would only cause problems for the both of us. Maybe I should just take the rejection before I do something that ruins what we have.

We pulled up to the arcade and I quickly exited the vehicle. Being stuck with my emotions and flurrying thoughts never had a good outcome.

I looked up at the arcade sign, then peered into the building. "It looks lively today." I observed the scene before stepping in.
