Picnic with Sugawara

Your POV:

Temperatures are dropping, and the leaves are finally starting to change color. I wanted to go view the colorful fall scenery, so I made plans for a picnic with Sugawara. He was the first person to make me feel comfortable here, so I thought it would be nice for us to hang out alone for once. Wearing skinny jeans and a light sweater, I check myself in the mirror one more time before zipping up my boots. I pack snacks and two bentos I made into a bag before I leave my room. I hum to myself as I make my way down to the lobby to meet up with Suga. As soon as I see him, I wave to him with a huge smile on my face. "You look cute," Sugawara says, giving me one of his earth-shattering, squinty-eyed smiles.

"Thank you," I say with tinted cheeks, "You look cute too. We kinda match." He has on the male equivalent of my outfit with an off-white sweater and jeans as if we had planned to wear corresponding outfits. My face flushes a darker shade of pink once I realize that to strangers we probably look like that type of couple.

"Is something wrong? You look a little feverish," Sugawara asks with a look of concern.

I shake my head and hands at the same time. "No, no.... I was just thinking that we could be mistaken for a couple," I say in a little voice, barely audible. I stare at my feet and start to play with my fingers in order to avoid Suga's gaze.

Quickly glancing up, I notice Suga's face starts to flush red too. "I guess we do look like that." he gives out an awkward laugh. I regret saying that; I should have come up with a random excuse. "We would make a cute couple though," he says, changing his flustered expression to his normal smile. I don't know if he said that just to make me feel better, but somehow, it made the awkward tension leave the air.

"That's true, but I don't want to take you away from Daichi." I wink, trying to create a playful atmosphere.

Rubbing the back of his neck, Suga answers with a slight laugh "You wouldn't be taking me away. It's not like that between us." Seeing the two of them interact, it's hard to believe that's the case, but I decide against saying anything else.

Arriving at the park, Suga and I find the perfect spot on a flat grassy area with a view of the autumn trees and lay out a blanket. We settle ourselves and start to pull out the various snacks and drinks that each of us brought. Lastly, I pull out the bentos and hand one to Suga. "Did you make this for me?" Suga asks, tilting his head to the side. I nod a yes, so he opens it to see what's inside. "Octopus hot dogs and flowered carrots.... Is that spicy mapo tofu?" Suga's eyes light up in excitement.

"I heard it's your favorite. I hope you like it," I say, pushing a few strands of hair behind my ear. As he uses a pair of chopsticks to lift the tofu, I watch him in anticipation.

As he chews, Sugawara's eyebrows raise and his eyes widen. "This is so good!" he exclaims, giving me another one of his smiles before quickly digging into the rest. His smile is one of my favorite things to see because it makes me feel giddy. Plus, I put in a lot of effort into cooking the tofu, so it makes me happy that he liked it. My lips curl into a small grin as I observe him devour the meal.

As we enjoy our lunch, we easily talk about random topics and catch up on each other's lives. We both finish our bentos, so I start to clean up, while Sugawara picks up the box of strawberries he brought. He puts one into his mouth, and I have a flashback to the scene at the party, making my mouth water. Gazing at me with curious eyes, Suga asks "Do you want one?" He picks up a plump strawberry and extends his arm out towards me. Not thinking twice, I lean in and put my lips around the berry. Taking the berry into my mouth, my lips graze his fingers as I pull back. Looking at Suga's surprised expression, the realization hits me: I should've just taken the strawberry from him with my hand. Luckily, I avoid another awkward conversation because he doesn't say anything. Instead, we start to feed each other different snacks as if it were natural.

After eating way too much, we lay next to each other and stare up into the sky. The slight breeze and clear blue sky created a tranquil mood. Feeling comfortable, I lean my head towards Suga's shoulder as I point at a cloud that looks like a bunny to me. He leans his head closer too, and points at another cloud, starting to make up a story about the bunny and the bear.

A/N: Sorry, I haven't updated in awhile because I'm starting to lose the motivation to continue this :'( but my sister keeps egging me on, so I hope you guys enjoy this.
