"Itaru !" You spotted the nerd playing on his phone in the office hallways, he looked up. "One sec Y/n... I need this pull to be successful..." You could see the tension in his brow, must be a stressful game. You came over to watch his pull, he tilted the screen towards your way.
You were probably one of the only people at the office that knew Itaru was a huge otaku. You promised him as his colleague you would keep it a secret, since you too like gaming.
3... 2... 1... BAM! *He gets the card or character he wants lol)*
"Oh my god... I did it!" He had a look of pure joy on his face, it made you smile.
"Ahem, sorry I tend to get caught up in the moment with my gatcha games, did you need me?" He brushes his bangs out from his little ponytail and pays his full attention towards you.
"Yes! Actually I was wondering if you were free this afternoon we could get coffee or
lunch together?" You nervously fiddled with your fingers, Itaru thought about it for a minute.
"Well, actually I was thinking about getting *non favorite food* for lunch, but I
know you don't like that, maybe I can take a rain check?" He nervously scratched his head.
A disappointing look came across your face, but hope was not lost. "Alright, see you around then." You forced a smile and then headed back to your workspace.

The next day Itaru was super busy, you
didn't wanna disturb him, so you waited the next day, but he was still super busy.
Why?
He would do all of his work, rush to lunch, honestly probably to play on his phone,
rush back and then when he clocks out he disappears!
One day he came in and told some of his coworkers including you that he was gonna be starring in a play, you thought it was quite childish at first but then you looked into it and suddenly realized this is why he has been busy this whole time.
"Itaru." You walked up to the tall man, he turned his head abruptly, almost spilling coffee on you, luckily you dodged to not get it on your cloths but instead hot coffee landed on your foot.
*Internal screaming* "Hot hot hot hot hot hot hot hot!"
You were clenching so hard to not let out a scream that your face turned a shade of blue, and so did his.
"Y-Y/n Im so sorry! Sit over here I'll get you ice, it will be quick!" He carefully lifted you making you gasp out of shock and pain, but mostly shock. He didn't want you to walk to the chair because he felt guilty. Luckily no one else was in the break room to see the mess. Your eyes started tearing up, all you could feel
is the pure burning sensation on your foot. He set you down on the chair and took in a deep breath.
"Ill be quick ok ?" Itaru for a split second looked like he was also gonna start crying, then he ran off.
He came back maybe a couple
minutes later with a small bag of ice, a small towel and some pain reliever pills.
"Take the pills, Carefully rest the ice on the burn Ill get you some water."

After an hour of icing your foot you could stand up, Itaru soon checked his watch only to find out he was gonna be late. "Shit... Y/n again I apologize, I can call you a cab to get home or to the hospital so they can properly treat it."
Surprisingly you laughed, the last sound Itaru expected you to make in the situation you were in.
"Woo... Im sorry, I just- This is too funny." You put a hand on his shoulder. "I can call a cab for myself, Itaru you're busy with your play right? Go on, I can take care of myself." You smiled, you adjusted your shoe so that the sore spot wouldn't run against it.
"No way theres- theres gotta be something I can do..." Itaru said puzzled and a bit confused
you would be so calm about the situation.
He then remembered your offer earlier on , "How about I take you out?" He blurted. His cheeks turned a bit pink after saying the sentence, so did yours.
"I-I mean, remember? You offered to get lunch or coffee together that day?" He said rubbing his temples.
"He remembered?"
You just had a slight shocked look on your face. "You know..? I was already getting lunch that day and I said I would give you a rain check?" "I remember." You said smiling. "Ill take you up on the offer, but we can talk about it later, you better be going, to practice right? Good work today." You looked at him with a sincere look.
He adjusted himself, mentally and physically I mean the man was a mess he ran all the way to the cafeteria to get you ice and medicine.
"Ill be going then...! Y/n please go to the hospital." He looked at you still guilty. "I will, good luck!" You waved as he exited the room.
"What an odd way to be asked out..."
