☆ For my dear friend, HF ☆

4 or 5 steps should be enough to make her like me and - theoretically - take her out on a date as well. But which step shall I begin from?

My first question was on the type of guys she likes; athletic, funny, charming or geniuses? I do fit into all of them very well, thank you.

Or, maybe she likes the badboyish persona or, perhaps, the totally calm and collected type of people? That is definitely not my fortè. But I can always try, if needed, right?

Maybe, I should try talking to one of her friends and ask them?
No, that would make my feelings towards her far too obvious.

But then, what shall I do?

I push my glasses up to the rim of my nose and - for the umpteenth time that day - delve into the thoughts and calculations of how to get (Y/N) (L/N) to like me.

I am part of The Iwatobi Swim Club, I am doing excellent in my studies, and I am superb at calculations.
I can also consider myself fairly popular throughout my highschool.
And I quote Gou-chan, "Your muscles are amazing! All you boys should put them on display to invite people to the swim club!"

Maybe, just maybe, (Y/N) might like me?

I sigh, finally deciding on asking my friends - probably the worst approach, considering the fact that we're all super awkward when it comes to ladies, but I could always count on them.

I begin to head over to the swimming pool to meet Haru-Senpai, Makoto-Senpai and Nagisa-Kun.

***

"Rei you should act freely. I suppose it will work," Haru-Senpai suggests, his eyes looking at the water, "I mean it always works for me."

I nodd eagerly, "Thank you very much!"

"Haru-chan!" Nagisa grins devilishly, "I guess you've asked some girl out before?"

Haru replies to Nagisa in his usual monotone, "I was talking about the water."

Makoto laughs out loud, while Nagisa and I just stare at Haru in shock. Was he always just talking about the water?

"But I do suggest you be yourself, Rei-Kun. I'm sure (Y/N) will like you just the way you are," Makoto smiles at me encouragingly.

I give my friends a grateful smile and together we begin our usual swimming routine.

After a long hour of swimming, discussions, and a whole lot of ideas on how to make (Y/N) like me, I head home, content and grateful for my friends.

A plan is finally beginning to form in my head.

*****

I head over to my classroom a bit early the next day and grab a seat directly next to where (Y/N) sits.

Some time later (Y/N) walks into the class and I can feel my heart beating faster. This type of feeling - I had been witnessing it since the previous two months - felt oddly nice.

The beautiful  (h/c)-haired girl looks at me, in the seat next to hers, and gives me a smile.

"Ah, this is brilliant!" I internally exclaim.

I give the girl a small smile and oh my- did I see it right? Is that.. is that a blush on her face? Did she blush?

The help book - which I bought just to gather tips - said that if a girl blushes when you smile at her, it means that she likes you!

Could (Y/N) possibly like me as well? It was too soon to say so, right now.

"H-hello, Rei-Kun!" (Y/N) waves at me, "I'm so glad that you're sitting here - Ah, I mean you'll see the board clearly now?"

The pink tint on her cheeks intensifies as she fumbles with her words. Was this a sign as well?

A big sheepish smile makes it way on my face as I wave back at her.

She sits down and I cannot help but stare at how beautifully God carved and created her. Her eyes were a perfect shade of (e/c), her hair was just right, her voice was sweet and she was so kind! She also shared my fascination with the world around her.

Before I can stop myself, I blurt out, "I'm sitting here because I wanted to sit next to you, (Y/N)-chan."

Oops. What is wrong with me? Now, it was my cue to blush profusely at my stupidity.

(Y/N) also blushes at my words, "Well, I'm so glad you sat here, Rei-Kun."

I nervously push my glasses up and mumble, "I am too."

"Oh, I really like your glasses, by the way."

"R-really, (Y/N)-chan?" I stutter, my heart fluttering.

She nods her head eagerly, "They suit you very well and make you look very cute."

I stare at her in shock. Did she just call me cute? dID SHE LIKE ME? wHELP. I cAN NOT BREATHE.

She also stares at me, her face a dark red and eyes wide, "I-I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to sound so upfront!"

I shake my head, my heart beating way too fast, "N-no! Thank you. I really like your hair. And your voice is really n-nice too."

She grins at me, "T-thank you, Rei-Kun."

I grin back at her, "You're welcome."

***

She and I talk a lot throughout the day, so much that we are sent out of the class for supposedly disturbing every one.

I would be lying if I say that I didn't enjoy every single second of the day I spent with (Y/N). The biggest perk of being sent out of the classroom was that we could freely talk!

"Hey Rei-Kun, do you want to perhaps, grab an icecream right now?"

I blush, smiling at (Y/N), "Sure!"

She was so upfront and amazing and beautiful and I couldn't help but sigh at how lovely of a human being she truly was!

She asks, "What do we call it?"

I raise my eyebrows, confused at her question, "What do we call what?"

She blushes and looks away, "A date, if you happen to like me back. Or a friendly hangout if we're okay as friends.."

I blush at her words, shocked and confused, "D-do you like me, (Y/N)-chan?"

"Yes, a lot."

A sound between a yelp and a scream comes out of my mouth and I grin at (Y/N). I suppose I could say that I was the happiest person alive.

A burst of newfound confidence rushes through me and I grab her hand, "I'd call it a date, then, (Y/N)-chan."

She smiles, "Wise choice, Rei-Kun."

*****

It's finally time to head home after a very brilliant day with (Y/N)-chan.

I drop her at her home and before I can walk away she presses a soft kiss to my cheek.

You could say that I, Rei Ryugazaki, was officially smitten.

"Bye, Rei-Kun!"

"I REALLY LIKE YOU, (Y/N)-CHAN!" I shout, unable to stop myself.

"I LIKE YOU TOO, REI-KUN."

I walk home, the goofy smile never leaving my face.

"Ah, how brilliant!"
