Painting his nails was something Suguru went for especially if it was done by you. Although you guys weren’t a couple, it felt extremely intimate to paint his nails.
Blushing when he feels your hand holding his as you try to paint his nails neatly.
“Looks really good”, he murmured.
“Thanks,” you murmured back, tongue sticking out in focus.
You guys were sitting on the floor of his room, with Suguru leaning against the side of his bed. He always preferred black polish, not really having a reason why, just something he always felt a pull towards.
He used this opportunity to admire you while you were distracted painting his nails. He founded your furrowed face with tongue poking out slightly, cute.
You angled his hand where he can see it better.
“You like it?” you questioned.
“Y-yeah,” he stuttered out after being caught off guard out of his daydream.
Twisting the nail polish cap back into the bottle, you fanned his hands.
“Looks good,” you whistled and grinning to yourself.
“Thank you, how can I repay you back? ” he asked before giving you one of those smiles that had girls swooning before him.
“Ah, it’s really not a big deal.”
“I insist, after all I wanna get you something”
“You really don’t have to.”
You both bickered back and forth, while you were still fanning his hands, which was something suguru appreciated. Eventually you let him win, sighing to yourself, cracking a smile that he loved.
Standing up, you both stretched out both of y’all’s legs. He felt himself blushing assuming something else when he felt you grab his hands, before realizing that you were doing that to check to see if his nails were dry. Frowning to himself when he realizes it wasn’t the case.
“Let me buy you froyo,” he said before smiling at you, knowing froyos were your favorite.
You smiled at him, letting go of his hands. His smile faltered slightly. You glanced at his painted toenails, mentally patting yourself on the back for your work.

You both left the campus, walking to the nearest Froyo shop. You complimented his outfit, which had him stuttering slightly and blushing, blaming on the hot weather.
He was glad shoko and satoru didn’t come along or else they would’ve teased him endlessly for acting like a middle school girl with a crush, which wasn’t that far off.
You guys chose to sit on the bench in the park after getting the froyos to your liking.
“Say.. I would like to do your nails next time..” he said before coughing slightly and shyly looking away.
Admiring his side profile, seeing that his ears are slightly red, you giggled to yourself.
“Sure, why you don’t you paint my nails black? To match,” you wiggled your fingers.
“Alright then…” he muttered out, still not looking at you, feeling himself get redder at your words. Damn it.
You both continued eating froyos in comfortable silence. Glancing at him from your peripheral vision, you noticed a piece of sprinkle at the corner of his mouth.
“Sugu..” you called out.
He slowly turned his head to look at you, feeling his chest swell with warmth, hearing his nickname coming out of your mouth. You both held eye contact for a while. Anyone walking by could feel the romantic tension lingering.
You leaned in, holding a napkin tightly. He felt his breath hitch, assuming that you were going to kiss him. You swiped the napkin across the corner of his mouth. Smiling at his frowning face.
“Something wrong?” you teased.
“No, nothings wrong.” he said with sulking shoulders.
Glancing at his froyo, you nudged him for a taste of his froyo. He nodded, holding up a spoon of the mint froyo, which you questioned him earlier, he replied with a shrug.
You cheerily accepted it. He pulled the spoon out of your mouth. He ate the rest of his froyo before realizing that you both shared an indirect kiss. He blushed at the thought.
“Hey, we should get going before it’s dark. We wouldn’t want Mr. Yaga get on our asses right?” He chuckled at your words before getting up.
He seemed awfully quiet, you noticed. He was planning on how to kiss you before you go back to your dorm. He used a breath fresher spray while you weren’t looking.

While approaching your dorm door, you stopped and turned to the sight of suguru rubbing the back of his neck and hesitating to ask you something. You knew what his question was, you weren’t that oblivious.
“Is there something you want to ask me? Sugu?”
“O-oh yeah,”
You hummed, suggesting him to continue.
“Can I kiss you?”
“Yes,” you smiled.
Staring at each others lip for a moment before moving closer. The kiss wasn’t something out of the movies for sure. But you were glad it was with suguru. You broke the awkward kiss, staring back at suguru.
He could stare at your eyes for hours. He believed in the fact that your eyes are the gate to your soul.
You placed your hand on the doorknob, and looking back at him.
“I enjoyed our date,” you said with a smile on your face.
“I did too,” he smiled back.
“See you tomorrow,” you said before twisting the doorknob.
Later that night, suguru laid on his bed looking up at the ceiling with his mind filled with the thoughts of you. He lifted his hand and saw the black polish, the one that you painted. He smiled to himself, touching his lip, the lip gloss you used lingered.
He could get used to this.
