Ch Five- The Pepto Bismol Theory

You went inside and went over to the register. "Hey, boy," You twisted your hair with your finger. He looked up from his outdated Mp3 Player.

"'Sup," He looked at you. He was sorta cute, but his hair was longer than you liked. Plus, he wasn't good at putting on his makeup. It was smeared and lazy. Which put you off.

"You know, I've been thinking... You're awfully cute," You grinned. His eyebrows went up, and a slight blush was seen.

"I-I'm just working here for the summer since I need more, uh, film," He looked away.

"You're a photographer?" You used to be one, too. Then you found out that no matter what angle it was at, it was purely disgusting. Even the most beautiful rose has thorns.

He nodded his head, just as Komaeda left the building.

"Well sorry to say, but my boyfriend and I are gonna jet. So, see you soon," You winked and left.

--

"Wow, you got it?" You spoke surprised, looking at the bottle.

"Yeah, it was surprisingly simple. I'm very impressed that my luck didn't screw everything up."

"What do you mean?" 

"Oh, it's really nothing, Aki." 

The way he said Aki made your heart melt.

"By the way, I heard what you said at the end," He nudged you. You felt your brain crumble and head heat up when you remembered what you had said. Oh, god, he actually heard that. You were embarrassed.

"I just wanted him to know that I wasn't interested in him, I-" You kept mumbling on when he put his hand on your shoulder. God, that's so fucking hot of him to do.

"I know you didn't mean it. I mean, why would you want me to be your boyfriend? I'm worthless!" He let out a small laugh, out of his nose.

"Ko, don't talk about yourself like that. I don't know you that well, but I certainly know you're not worthless.."

"What did you call me just now?" He ignored everything else.

"Ko..?"

"Ko," He said, "I like that. Unfortunately, I can't really give you a nickname."

"That's understandable."

"Say," He looked at you in the eyes, "I'm going to a party tomorrow at 2:00. I can come right here around ten minutes beforehand and pick you up. Want to come?"

"Is there drinking involved?" You were listening, trying to keep your heart from pounding out of its chest. The last time you were at an actual party was very long ago.

"Yes!" He spoke.

"It's a date!" Wait, "But not a date," You added, "Whatever! I'd love to go." You smiled at him, eyes wide.
