To say Kenji is nervous, would be a massive understatement. Nervous doesn’t even begin to cover what he’s feeling right now. He doesn’t want to be dramatic, but what he’s about to do might be the most nerve-wracking thing he has ever had to go through in his life. Even more nerve-wracking than the time he had to face his father’s wrath after being sorted into Hufflepuff. ( the most useless house, filled with a bunch of airheads, according to his dad ). He’s about to ask Chai, the boy he’s had the biggest crush on for well over a year now, if he wants to go with him to the Yule Ball.
As expected, he finds Chai in the library, hidden away in the history section. Thankfully, the younger is alone, allowing for a more private conversation. “Chai?” Kenji calls out carefully as he approaches him, hoping he’s not interrupting the Ravenclaw in the middle of an important study session. A deep breath is taken before he says anything else, followed by a shaky exhale. “I, uh, I was j–just wondering...” His words are coming out as a stutter, thickly laced with nervousness. He swallows before trying again, determined to get his message across this time.
Come on, Kenji. It’s just like Jae said—what’s the worst that could happen?
“I was just wondering if you’d like to go to the Yule Ball. Uh, with me. As a... date.” His cheeks have reddened by the time he finishes his sentence, a rosy red warming his features. He bites his lip, anxiously awaiting Chai’s response.
