AsaChi: Beauty Marks

Chapter 3: Asahi; Good Luck

Once home, Asahi was in his bathroom and he had finished his homework and had just stepped out of the shower. He rubbed his head with his towel, his long hair sticking out in all directions. He took a look at himself in the mirror. "You need to just tell her what you're feelings are for her, dumbass." Diachi had told him. "How though?" Asahi had asked him nervously. He had never been on a date before, he had never been able to buck up enough to actually ask anyone out. There was that one time in middle school when a girl who liked him had kissed him forcefully, but he barely remembered it, partly because he had fainted shortly after.

"Maybe you could leave a note in her locker or something, asking her to meet you somewhere after school?" Tanaka had suggested matter-of-factly. It had sounded like a good idea at the time, but not now as he was starting to think about actually writing the damn note.

It made him so nervous, what if she didn't meet him, but what if she did? What would he do then? With his sweat pants on he made his way to his room and laid down on his bed, staring at the ceiling. His phone buzzed beside him. He jumped at the sound.

Dammit! He was more on-edge than usual. He flipped open his cell phone, Nishinoya's name appeared on the screen. He already knew what the text probably said. Something about morning practice. Ever since Asahi returned to the team, Nishinoya had made it a point to remind him of early practices. He opened the message. Yup, early practice.

He didn't bother to reply, but instead sat his cell phone back on his nightstand. Next to his alarm clock was the stuffed panda teddy bear he had bought for Chiharu. She loved pandas, and the stuffed animal's eyes had a green tone to them, just like hers. Nishinoya and Tanaka had talked him into buying it, maybe in the hopes it would make asking Chi out for a date a lot easier for him.

It didn't, but he had done it anyway.

He sighed and stared back up at the ceiling. How was he gonna write the note? How would he give it to her? He rubbed his face with his hands, trying to think. Just then, his cell phone buzzed again. He picked it up and looked at it. "Suga?"

Curious, the large boy opened the message it read, "Hey, Noya-san told me what you are planning. Good luck, Asahi! If you need some advice, Katsuki says she'll help you ;)." Gah! Even Suga and Katsuki know! Dangit Nishnoya! Despite his frustration, he couldn't help but smile. His friends had his back. He started to text back Suga, "Thanks. I'm so nervous! I need Kat-chan's help!" It was true. She was Chiharu's best friend, she might know a thing or two on how to help him out.

Just then, an unknown number appeared on his phone screen. He opened the message "I thought you would never ask, Asahi-senpai :3."
