Giyuu Tomioka's Birthday - Sanegiyuu/Giyuusane

Almost as Beautiful as You(ch.8)

Sanemi's POV

I had gotten there, and I told the person up front that I was waiting for someone, and she led me to a table with 2 seats. I Sat there and waited. And waited.

The waitress that would be serving us realized I had waiting for a while, and she came up to my table and asked what drink I wanted. I responded with water. As I waited for my water, I couldn't help but wonder, where the fuck is this guy? Did I get stood up by TOMIOKA of all people?! 

But, as I was thinking he stood me up, I saw him walk through the doors.

Fuck.

He looks... beautiful. His hair is down, something I thought I'd never see. The way his hair complements his face when it's down, the beautiful yukata he's wearing... My mind couldn't help but wander.

 God, my mind isn't holy.

As he walked over to my table, he sat across from me. Then, he spoke up.

"Sorry if I was a little late. I didn't realize."

He looked genuinely sorry, which I wouldn't expect from him. So I responded. "No, you're fine." 

As I said this, the waitress arrived with my water. The waitress then realized Tomioka had got here and asked him what he wanted. He also just wanted water.

Giyuu's POV

I arrived at the restaurant, and I immediately noticed Shinazugawa sitting at a table. It had me hoping I wasn't accidentally late. But there's no going back anymore so I just decided I would apologize. As I looked at him, I looked at his clothes. I liked his yukata. It was a pretty color of blue with leaves and, I had to be honest, it looked good on him. I approached the person up front, and I told them I was here with someone named Shinazugawa. 

They led me up to his table, and I apologized for being late. I got a closer look at him, and he looked even better from a closer view. I could never have a chance with him, though.

The waitress asked what drink I wanted, and I just said water. 

The waitress quickly arrived with my water, and I took a sip. 

It was a little awkward between me and Shinazugawa at first, since no one spoke up. We just sat in silence. But it was calming. I liked it. 

Though I liked the silence, it was a bit awkward. So, I thought of ways to break it. Maybe I could complement him? Would that be weird? I don't know, I should stop being self-conscious. So, since I decided I would complement him, what would I complement him on? There's a lot of things to choose from. Maybe his outfit? Yeah... that could work.

"Shinazu-"

Before I could finish my statement, he interrupted me.

"Sanemi. Call me Sanemi."

He wanted me to call him by his first name? 

"Ok... Sanemi, I like your yukata. It's a beautiful color. It looks good on you."

His face turned a light shade of pink, I noticed. He stayed silent for a moment. Did he not like the complement? Was it too weird? These thoughts ran through my mind, but then he thanked me.

"Thank you, Tomioka."

Now it was my turn to tell him.

"Call me Giyuu."

Sanemi's POV

After Tomioka got his water, we just sat in silence. It was a little comforting, especially since I'd been around some loud shitheads for the past 6 days. But I have to admit, it was a bit awkward.
