____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Navigating to Shibuya that Sunday morning was a challenge for Yusuke, to say the least. Juggling art supplies, picnic food and a blanket in hand while balancing on the ever so crowded subway proved to stretch the young artist to his limit. He had just met his match. However, for you, he was determined to overcome this tremendous obstacle. Yusuke had prepared the week earlier for your date, and wanted- no, needed everything to be perfect. He was going to arrive 20 minutes early to compose himself and surprise you! No crowd of people would get in his way.

Unfortunately, you had the same idea. Finally squeezing out of the muggy sardine can, Yusuke maneuvered through the busy halls of the underground walkway. Of course, it was nothing compared to the earlier turmoil. Yusuke had the meeting spot in sight, but along with it, a stunning young woman. He narrowed his eyes, trying to determine if she would be staying there, and if he would have to ask her to leave. Of course, upon closer inspection, that stunning girl was in fact, you. His cheeks suddenly flushed and eyes widened. Hiding quickly, he fixed himself, preparing to approach you.

On the other side of things, you were just as excited for the date, but hadn't done nearly as much preparation. However, you did do your makeup (with the help of Ann), and you brought him more baked goods, along with some drawing materials. Perhaps he could give you tips during your time together. At the very least, you thought it was important to plan to arrive 30 minutes ahead of time, just to be sure you wouldn't keep him waiting. Now, it was down to 20 minutes, and you were starting to get nervous. Would he like your outfit? What if he got to know you and changed his mind? Would this be your last date?

Don't mess up!

Frantically looking around with anxious thoughts in mind, you even thought you spotted him, however after a few moments, you realized it must have been a figment of your imagination- a result of your fidgeting.

Out in the distance, a figure fumbled with their things from behind a pillar.

A picnic basket?

Ah, you thought how it would be really nice to have a picnic with Yusuke for your first date, like a scene from a shoujo manga. Too bad you didn't think ahead to prepare something that extravagant. Smiling, you silently wished the person the best of luck for their picnic. You looked down at your hand mirror to make sure you looked okay. At that moment, the figure seemed to stop moving. It slowly took a deep breath, and emerged from behind the pillar. He walked steadily towards you, in elegant strides. Dressed in a light gray blazer, a burgundy V-neck shirt and black pants, Yusuke stopped when he reached you. You gasped when you saw- one, the he way looked slightly dressed up in nice clothing, and two- how much stuff he had in his hands.

"Yusuke, you're early! And you brought so much!" You exclaimed happily.

You would have taken his hands in yours, but they looked full. Instead, you helped him carry the blanket, taking it from his folded arms. As you did so, he did not respond. Only his eyes followed you, pupils dilated, as his body stayed frozen in place. He couldn't see before when he was so far, but now your entire outfit came into sight. You wore light make up with your hair done gracefully. Your outfit was a summer dress, almost like he imagined it. However, instead of something white and plain, it was a fluffy light pink, with an outer translucent layer, and weaving floral patterns. The bottom reached below your knees, and flowed softly as you moved, as if it was made from clouds and swung in the wind like a willow tree. The dress had straps at your shoulders, and off-shoulder sleeves. The combination of everything- the way you looked was just too overwhelming for him, and he could not find the words to describe it.
