The months flew by, faster than you'd have liked to admit. They were busy, of course, and you never seemed to run out of things to do.

And with fashion week upon fashion week and magazine after magazine being released, you and Giyuu were close.

Well, as close as you could be.

Your interactions still felt limited at times, but what else were they meant to be?

He was CEO. He probably didn't have time for anything else.

The sun that came in late June was warm and peaceful. That harsh cold had evidently and finally dissolved each day you could enjoy the sunset view from the window or the early rays of light that peaked through your curtains at the crack of dawn.

One early morning, hours before a fashion show Giyuu had invited you to, your phone rang.

You instinctively grabbed it from your nightstand, squinting at the screen, not even bothering to check who was calling.

"Y/n!"

Mitsuri.

"Hey girly, what's got you calling me at this hour?"

"Oh well, I got gifted a free spa treatment. It's in thirty minutes. Wanna come with me?"

A grin crept up on your face.

"Say no more,"

"GREAT! I'll pick you up in fifteen,"

You let her hang up and immediately sprung out of bed, heading to the bathroom to quickly freshen up.

You slipped on some sweatpants and an oversized shirt before grabbing your bag and dashing out the door.

And just as you were locking up, the man next door popped out.

"Hey," you smiled.

"Good morning. Where are you off too so early in the morning?"

"The spa with Mitsuri! I can't wait!"

The corner of his mouth twitched as you finished locking the door and spoke again.

"And where are you going, Tomioka?"

"Just some fittings for later. Mai's had an epiphany and wants me to try some stuff on."

"Well, enjoy!" you said, as you made your way to the lift that for once seemed to be working.

He quickly followed you in, just before the doors closed and slid his hands into his pockets.

"Are you excited for later?" he asked, so calmly.

"You have noooo idea. I've been thinking about it all week,"

His gaze softened, and he spoke again.

"I'm so glad."

A comfortable silence filled with air as the elevator came to a halt, and you both walked out the door.

Mitsuri was already waiting, and Giyuu gave her a polite wave before making his way to his car that was parked just a few feet away.

She immediately beamed as he got in his car.

"You guys look like such a couple. Oh my god," she borderline squealed.

"We're just friends, I promise," you confirmed, heading to open the door to her bright pink car.

"But you guys could be so much more!"

"Could we though, realistically,"

"Love knows no boundaries!"

"I'll admit that I guess...he is, somewhat, passably, conventionally attractive,"
