Finally // Beautiful Stranger [Sakusa Kiyoomi x Hinata Shouyo]

Chapter Two

The second time they met, it was unexpected. Since they never expect to meet again -well not for Sakusa. He was busy fixing the impossible knot his earphone has entered (it has been months since the last time he used it, he bought an airpod but he always misplaced it) and didn't notice that he almost kiss the café's glass door.

"Oopsie!" Startle by the voice and small hands pull his shirt back, he almost drops his earphone. He looks behind him to see a female high school student. She has black hair tied into two buns, Sakusa reminds him of Chun Li and her uniform is quite familiar.

"Oh sorry"

"Risa -oh senpai!" He looks to his left to see the approaching Hinata Shouyo whom he never expected to meet. He's not wearing the school coat he wore the last time they met, instead, he's wearing a yellowish cardigan with a school logo, the metal name tag, underneath is a white polo shirt, and black tie. His orange hair is cut neatly just like the last time he saw him. He's carrying his big backpack again.

"Senpai, nice to see you again," he says smiling, eyes turning into a crescent moon and Sakusa hates that stupid tingling feeling inside him, like when his dog, Shiro rubs his whole fury body to his foot to show affection.

"Oh, Shouyō" don't hate him for the lack of enthusiasm. Meeting a high school student, whom he doesn't really know but he kinda like, in a café is not- something he is ready for.

Especially someone who is the total opposite of Sakusa. 'Dude, this Hinata Shouyō is shining so bright it scaring the non-existing vampire blood off of me'.

He can't say 'it's nice to meet him again when he doesn't know if he's happy to see him again. Besides, the longest conversation they have is about finding a stupid engineering student to give back his ID that he lost (because he's stupid to think of what to talk) and that 5 minutes walk to the gates that ended up looking like Sakusa is trying to scout him to his college.

"You know him, Hinata?" The girl who he noticed is still holding his arm asks Shouyō. "Acquaintance" he responds. 'Great, now we're acquaintances'. Of course, he didn't say that out loud.

"Uhmm.." He clear his throat to get the attention of the girl. They both looked at Sakusa and the girl seems to notice that he's still holding Sakusa's shirt. She quickly let go and mutters a sorry as redness creeps into her face.

'Cute'. He thought.

"We should get going now, the others are waiting," Shouyō says after that minute-long silence of awkwardness. The girl nods before turning back and pushing the door. "Bye, Senpai," Shouyō says cheerily and follows the girl inside the café.

"Who in those two is your crush?" He jolts, his hand landing on his chest. He turns toward the owner of the voice, which is his mother grinning stupidly at him. He forgot that he is meeting his mother at this café.

It's Friday, and Friday is their official afternoon date since Sakusa has a Saturday morning class, while his mom's day off is Friday.

"Seriously?" He asks rolling his head. Sakusa gave up untangling his earphone and shove them back into his pocket. He opens the door for his mom who's still smiling teasingly at him. "Stop smiling like that" he scolds her only to receive a smack on his arm.

"Ow" he complains rubbing his arm, his mother just rolled his eyes.

"Order me the usual okay?" She says walking towards their usual table that-thankfully, is not occupied.
