Through His Eyes [Mayuzumi Chihiro Fanfiction]

Chapter 1

"That kindhearted person I who helped me when Aikawa-senpai--"

"You were totally lying when you said he's not a hot guy, weren't you?" Mayumi said.

"Wha-?" you stuttered. Of course you weren't going to answer that. Admitting it to your loud friend that Mayuzumi is hot was totally embarrassing.

"I'm hurt though, you didn't even tell me about this guy," she said crossing her arms.

"Sorry," you smiled sheepishly, "It just happened and I wasn't so sure either that I didn't even got to tell you before it happened,"

"Just let me interrogate him when you become official okay?"

"Okay,"

"Okay,"

*"Stop that, Mayumi!" you warned her. She just laughed.

----

That same day, you went home with Mayuzumi. You were walking closer than necessary but he started it anyway. He was the one who moved closer to you silently. Does he want to make it official? You'll never know if you don't ask. You just have to ask and if he wants to make it official.

Make it official. Make it official. Make it official. Make it--

"Hey,"

"Official!" you blurted out. You covered your mouth in embarrassment. Of all the things you could say...

"Official?"

"W-what is it, Mayuzumi?" you asked looking at him. He squinted his eyes at you giving you a disapproving look.

"Er, Chihiro?" it would take a while getting used to addressing him by his first name.

"Nothing, I forgot,"

"You forgot? Do you have a short term memory loss?" you joked.

"What? It's your fault for saying such a random word--"

"Wow, I could just agree on you on that. It's my fault, like totally," you said sarcastically.

"Official," he said tugging at your arm making you stop with him.

"Do you have to repeat what I jus--"

"Do you want to make it official?" he asked looking intently at you. His eyes were still blank but you just felt your cheeks warm up with his gaze. Is he? Heavens, am I not dreaming? Did you even hear him right? You started to think you were being delusional.

"Make what official?" you blurted out still couldn't believe what you just heard. Is he like asking you out?

"What else?" he replied, matter-of-factly, "Us,"

You just stared at him letting your mind process what he just said. You were just talking with Mayumi about this, and you were even thinking about it yet there he was, making the first move. You saw him smirk- no, smile a little.

"Oh," was the only thing you managed to say. He was like, the first ever guy to ask you out, and you were sure your heart was about to explode with so much happiness. You were happy. Very much happy. So happy you wanted to stop putting it in words.

"At least answer me properly,"

"You're officially asking me out?" you said then realized that it wasn't even a proper answer. You couldn't blame yourself though, confessing was one thing and asking you out was another.

He slid his hand down your arm to hold your hand. "Why did I have to fall for such a dumb--"

"What the--"

"I'm asking you out here, yet you ask me if I'm asking you out," he said flatly it's almost annoying. It wasn't completely annoying since there was an obvious tint of red on his cheeks. "Yes, I'm asking you out."

Miracles do happen. That was the first ever time he answered you seriously after asking such a dumb question.

"Well..." you pondered for a moment for the way you should answer him. The answer was obvious; it's a yes, but you couldn't quite get it out of your mouth. You intertwined your fingers and brought a hand to the side of his face then smirked at him.

"Be honored Chihiro, 'cause I will," you said. His eyes widened for a moment with your answer; maybe he was aware it was an attempt to copy him. His smile widened a little holding your hand that was at the side of his. He turned his head so that his lips were on your palm.

"Someone needs to get off her high horse here," he murmured to your hand.

"That's rich coming from y--" you felt him lick your palm, "--W-w-wha-what the hell?!" you blurted out blushing furiously as you retracted your hand.

"Be honored, you're the first person I ever did that to," he replied smugly. You just wanted to wipe that confident look off his face, but you were feeling to embarrassed to even say something. Why did he even have to do that?

"Thanks, I am very much honored to have you lick my palm," you said sarcastically after regaining your composure. You wiped your palm at your skirt. Your hands were still intertwined as the two of you continued walking.

He snorted a laugh, "What a good way to start a relationship,"

You bit your lip as you realized that you just agreed to go out with him. You finally had labels. He was finally your boyfriend and you were his girlfriend. You couldn't help but just smile stupidly at the thought. As you were too busy wrapping up your mind to the fact that Mayuzumi Chihiro was now your boyfriend, you realized what was the first thing he did after becoming your boyfriend.

Your cheeks automatically grew warm.

"Chihiro, I'm curious!" you exclaimed trying to get into his line of sight as he was reading yet another light novel. You were by the rooftop wasting the rest of your lunch break with Mayu--Chihiro. You really need to get used to it by now, especially since you were officially together now.

**"Is that a reference?" he chuckled.

"What? No! I wasn't-- I am just curious how you see me,"

"How I see you?" he put down his book and looked at you. "Is there a difference to how other people see you?"

"Isn't there?"

He shrugged, "Well, I'd be surprised if they look at you and see a cute girl,"

You puffed your cheeks and frowned at him. "You surely know I didn't mean it literally,"

"Kidding," he pinched your cheek. "How do you want me to tell you?"

You grinned at him widely, "Write it!"

He looked at you incredulously, "You're kidding,"

"Oh of course not, I am completely serious, Chihiro!"

"No way," he frowned. He looked cute when he frowned, and there was no way you're telling him that.

"Yes way,"

He groaned loudly. "I should tell you that I like reading, not writing."

"It's not like I'm asking you to write a novel. Just write what you were thinking when we first met then onwards." it would be rather fun to read what he thought of you. "I'll be doing it too, don't worry."

"So you just want me to write my honest opinions about you and interactions with you?"

"Yes,"

"Okay," he replied as he continued reading his book once again.

The next morning, you found a letter inside your locker. At the envelope were the words:
