I cant find the rules so I hope this is within the boundaries :0 can I get little HC or a mini scenario of QUARTET NIGHT asking out their crush? Thanks so much keep up the good work â¤
Yep, it is! o3o And for reference, the rules are here~
When Ai takes your hand, you startle a bit. All afternoon, spending time with your friend, youâve gotten the feeling that somethingâs up... and this is even more proof that somethingâs going on.Â
Ai takes a deep breath. His eyes close for a moment, and thenâ
âI like you,â he says simply. âThe feelings are... unusual for me, but theyâre true. Iâve wished to be more than a friend for a while now. If you would consider a date with me, Iâd be delighted. If not, um, pretend I didnât say anything.â He ends his speech with a soft, awkward smile.Â
Seeing Ai flustered is rare. Youâre stunned for a moment. He looks so hopeful that thereâs no doubt in your mind what your answer will be.Â
âOf course. I... feel the same, I think. Youâre always so nice to me.â A smile of your own is given in return. You squeeze his hand. This is doable. Surprising, yeah, but you never thought it would actually happen.Â
Instantly, Aiâs face lights up. The relief in his eyes is visible.Â
âThank you. Iâll be sure to make it memorable.â His hands are soft and cool against yours. You can feel yourself flushing.Â
Reijiâs crush on you is so obvious it hurts. Yours might be just the same, but considering that neither of you has been able to voice it yet, maybe not.Â
You really, really want to try, but youâre apparently too much of a coward to ask the guy out directly.Â
But every day, you get hugs, compliments, and a very clingy man who seems dead-set on soaking up as much of your attention as possible. You canât complain. Reijiâs good nature is infectious, and you always wind up in a better mood when youâre around him.Â
âHey, um...â After Reiji pulls you into a hug as he usually does when he sees you, his voice suddenly turns nervous. âAh, I just gotta say it... Letâs go on a date!â
Thatâs... not what you were expecting. With his face hidden from your view and you in his arms, Reiji really just asked you out. Itâs not like you didnât see it coming, but this is sudden.Â
âAha, you can say no if you want to.â Even though he still sounds cheerful, you can feel his disappointment.Â
âNot what I meant, Reiji. You just startled me a bit.â You hug him back, nice and tight. âOf course Iâm saying yes. You should know by now that Iâve been crushing on you just as much as you to me. Iâm just glad you finally asked.â
When you think about it, youâve... probably been âdatingâ Ranmaru for a while. Neither of you has said it outright, but your spending time together has looked more and more like dates for a while now.Â
Itâs just been a matter of waiting for him to say something.Â
And after watching some dumb action movie just to complain about how bad it is, while youâre leaning against his side in a way thatâs not entirely a friend thing, that moment finally happens.Â
âHey...â Ranmaru starts, sounding vaguely nervous.Â
He inhales deeply, then sighs. âGuess I just gotta spit this out... Do you want to date me?â Itâs blunt, itâs direct, and you blush.Â
âWhere d-did this come from?â you ask even though you already know the answer. Itâs just... you want to hear him say it. You want him to admit that heâs liked you for this long.
âYou get it. Weâve spent all this time just not saying anything, so I finally worked up the guts to ask. Didnât want to ruin things by admitting it, so I held off. Youâre gonna accept, right?â A smirk crosses his lips, but it seems to be more hopeful than anything.Â
âYeah. Thereâs no way I wouldnât.â
You know that somethingâs up. Camus is being nice. Weirdly nice.Â
And yes, you appreciate him being less of a dick than usual, but you also, yâknow, like him the way he is. Being on the receiving end of his âcustomer serviceâ act is just kind of bizarre.Â
And around the time that youâre certain heâs planning something, Camus takes you out for lunch. Itâs a fancy-seeming sweets cafe where you feel almost out of place, and thatâs the last straw. You canât take this weirdness any longer.Â
âAlright, what are you planning?â you ask.Â
Camusâs polite smile drops. âWas I that obvious?â
âLike a neon signboard saying âthis isnât normalâ.â
He sighs. âI suppose I didnât handle this in the most seamless way. Very well. Iâll say it outright. Iâve developed feelings for you and was planning on asking you on a proper date.â His tone is more like the Camus you know, but the words make you pause.
âWait, really? I can kind of see it, but really?â Youâre going to say yes. Youâre totally going to say yes, but you at least need to make sure.Â
Camus nods, looking too embarrassed to repeat himself.Â
You hug him because thereâs no better option right now. And no better way to make your âyesâ clear.
