Unexpected Love

Chapter 4: An Unexpected but Welcome Surprise

In a shocking turn of events, Katai had decided that he needed some fresh air and so he had gone out for a walk.

At one point, he got tired and found a bench to take a rest on. He leaned back and closed his eyes.

Coincidentally, Sigma had also been out on a walk. It may or may not have been partially because he hoped he would run into Katai again. He knew it wasn't very likely since he knew practically nothing about Katai, but he was trying to follow Fyodor and Nikolai's advice and have some faith in himself and that he would see Katai again.

Sigma paused when he saw someone off in the distance on a bench. He squinted, silently noting that the person looked familiar. He began to walk closer and to his joy, he discovered that it was the very one he'd been looking for this whole time. He reached Katai but the man in glasses appeared to be sleeping.

Or not.

Sensing someone was there, Katai opened his eyes and saw Sigma. His eyes widened. "It's you!"

"It's you!" Sigma repeated.

"Long time no see," Katai joked.

Sigma laughed. "I know, right?"

"Yeah. It's been practically forever."

"We finally met again after a very long time."

"It was so worth it."

Sigma paused. It was worth it?

Katai gave Sigma a confused look. "Something up?"

"No, I was just a bit shocked to hear you say that," Sigma explained.

"Why?"

"We've barely met and you wanted to see me again."

"Because I think you're really cool."

Sigma's face heated up. "Oh, um...thanks."

"You're welcome." Katai looked a little shy.

They looked away from each other, feeling the butterflies in their stomachs increase for whatever reason.

What is this? What's wrong with me? Do I have some sort of unknown disease or something? Katai wondered.

Why am I suddenly so glad to see him again? We met only a couple days ago and I missed him the entire time and never stopped hoping we'd run into each other again. What is this? Sigma thought.

While Katai was avoiding eye contact like his life depended on it, he pulled out his phone and texted Kunikida: Kunikida, help!

Kunikida heard his phone buzz and he glanced at it. Part of him felt like Katai was being dramatic like he typically did, but another part of him was concerned. He texted back, What is it, Katai?

Katai: I ran into you-know-who!

Kunikida: Isn't that a good thing?

Katai: yeah but I was completely unprepared

Kunikida: Ok, that makes sense

Katai: HEEEELLLLPPPP!!!!!!

Kunikida: How?

Katai: I don't know, give me some amazing advice!

Kunikida: Talk to him

Katai: that's not amazing advice!

Kunikida: Why not?

Katai: because it's not that easy

Kunikida: Maybe not, but don't you want him to know how you may or may not feel about him?
