"Please hang out with me! I miss you so much~!"
Senju pleaded through the phone. She said teenagers have been talking about a 'room cafe' and what better way to check it out than to go with you.
"Okay, Senju. I have nothing to do, so.."
"Yay! M-make sure to dress prettily.. I-It's a date!" She quickly told you before hanging up the phone.
"Oh? Senju.. hello? Oh, she hung up. I guess I'll go get ready.."
...
"It's a date? Really, Senju?" Takeomi started laughing at her little sister who had her red face covered with her hands.
"Shut up..!" She punched her brother in the arm.
"Ow.. hey! I told you not to play fight, you hit hard!"
"You deserve it! Anyways, give me money. I wanna spoil her, I wanna have the perfect date!" Senju asked him with the best puppy eyes she could do.
"Stop with that look," Takeomi looked at her in disgust.
"Just give me the money!"
"Okay, jeez.."
"Also, if you get her involved in some gang fight, you're grounded."
"Huh? Why would I..?"
"Just making sure. If she gets hurt, her brother's gonna get mad."
"I'd never let such a person as Y/n get hurt! I'll kill anyone who touches her," she stated, walking away.
'..Teenagers in love are scary.'
...
"Okay, Y/n... don't let anyone see you walking out!" You whispered to yourself as you exited your room. You were about to go on a friendly date with Senju!
Your family has been on edge since the festival. You've been acting weird. Like you didn't care about anything anymore. You asked them if you can go out, but they kept refusing. 'If they really cared about me then they should let me do as I want!' That's what you kept saying to yourself.
You were at the door. The exit to the house was close to the living room, where Emma was watching TV. You tiptoed, really quietly, and opened the door. 'Okay, Y/n! You can do it!' You walked out of the house and let out a deep sigh of relief. "That was so nerve wracking!"
"Hi, Shin," Emma called out as she heard the door open. "You're here earl-.. huh?" 'He's not here? Why did I hear the door open?' She saw your h/c-colored hair from the window. "Y/n?! Gosh, is she sneaking out? Oh, I'm so gonna scold her once she comes back!.. But I'll let her enjoy her time for now.."
You better be home by 5! >:(
"Ah," you looked at your phone. "She saw me sneaking out.."
。。。
"Y/n! Over here!" Senju called out.
You walked up to her, only to be engulfed in a tight hug. "I missed you!"
"Hi, Senju.."
"Y-you look really pretty," she blushed. "I'm glad you're wearing a skirt, we're matching!"
"Yeah," you smiled. "Where are we supposed to go?"
"Oh, a room cafe. It's right around here, don't worry!"
...
"And Takeomi kept talking to Benkei. He wasn't even paying attention to me!" Senju ranted about her brother on the way. Other than the ranting, she kept glancing at your hand. She wanted to hold it so bad!
"Is this the place?" You asked, walking up the stairs to the entrance.
"Yep!" She let you walk up first. That was a bad decision since the wind blew your skirt. You didn't have time to wear safety shorts since you were supposed to get out of the house quickly. She saw a glimpse of your underwear before quickly smacking herself.
"What was that sound, Senju?"
"The sound of me coming to my senses!!" She blushed. 'Stop being a pervert.. you're the one who should walk up the stairs first, Senju!'
You both were greeted by the worker. "Welcome! Just the two of you, right? Follow me!"
You arrived in a cozy little room with pillows, plushies, and a TV. "You can use this place for two hours. Snacks and drinks are in the hallway."
"Wow~!" Senju jumped on all the pillows. "This is so nice!"
"Mhm!" You went in the room and sat next to her.
"No wonder this place is so popular. Super nice to hang out in!"
Senju heard a bunch of muttering in the walls. "Look, the wall talks!"
"Really? What's it saying?" You leaned into the wall.
"Babe, touch me."
"P-please~!"
'W-what the hell?!' You gasped, quickly leaning off the wall. "Uh.."
"You're dating someone else, this isn't okay!"
"I want you so bad.."
'...Where are we?!'
"Wait, I'll go get the snacks!" Senju rushed out of the room.
'No wonder this is a famous place amongst teenagers! They're all so perverted!' You thought as you crossed your arms.
Kiss
Smooch
Moan
Mwah
'I thought this was a friendly date. B-but.. this is a place for couples! Why did Senju want to come here?'
Then, it hit you.
"M-make sure to dress prettily!"
"I-It's a date!"
"I missed you!"
"Y-you look very pretty!"
"I'm glad you're wearing a skirt."
...
"I'm glad you're wearing a skirt."
...
"I'm glad you're wearing a skirt."
'This is no friendly date! Senju... I didn't know you were such a pervert! You knew what this place was before coming here, didn't you?!'
"I-I'm back..."
A flustered looking Senju walked in the room. "I.. b-brought the s-snacks..."
'No.. maybe she actually didn't know. She looks just as flustered as me!'
She accidentally dropped the all snacks in the tray she was holding. 'Why did I invite Y/n in such a disgusting place?! This is so embarrassing, I don't wanna ruin her innocence!'
"S-Senju..." You looked down, blushing.
"Y-yeah?" She sat next to you.
"Why did you.. no.. uh.. never mind.."
"Uh.. well.. you look really pretty in your skirt-.."
"Stop it! You're making this even more awkward!"
"I'm sorry! I really didn't know what this place was.."
You tugged on her sleeve and looked up at her. Your cheeks were burning red. "I-I wanna go home.."
。。。
You were outside of the building now. You've never been happier to exit a cafe before. It was awkward and quite as you two walked home together.
"Y/n," Senju suddenly grabbed your hand.
"Yeah?"
"I have to tell you something."
You stopped walking and faced her. "What is it?"
"I like you.." she confessed, direct eye contact with you.
"Huh..?"
"Not as a friend. I like you! A lot! I've had a crush on you for a while now! You're so.. pretty and kind. You make my heart jump even when I take a small glance at you.."
You stared at her in shock. "S-Senju.."
"You obviously don't have to reply instantly, haha!" She laughed off the awkwardness. "Just know.. even if you don't like me back, we'll still be best friends, okay?!"
You stayed quite, trying to process what just happened. "Senju, I... where'd she go?"
