Osamu Crushing on You is quiet. It's his eyes finding you without thought in the classroom, in the halls, everywhere he goes he searches for you just hoping to catch the slightest glimpse of you. It's his hand brushing yours when you both reach for something at lunch, he always blames it on coincidence but deep down he knows he just wants to see you.

Osamu Crushing on You is him sharing his lunch with you when you don't have one or sharing snacks during class. Even though he tells everyone he "doesn't share." he always shares with you. It's him buying you your favorite drink from the vending machines when he notices you've had a bad day. Thats his way of showing he cares.

Osamu Crushing on You is teasing you for the small things. You get a problem wrong? He'll tease you about it before helping correct it. Your pencil breaks? He'll laugh before taking it from your hand and going to sharpen it for you without a word. ______________________________________________________________

Osamu Confessing to You is awkward in the sweetest way. It's late, he texted you to meet him on the corner out of nowhere which had confused you, but you went anyways. It's his eyes already on you as you walk up, his heart racing as he meets you halfway.

Osamu Confessing to You is his voice shaking slightly as he breaks the silence. He finally manages to calm himself enough to get the words he wants out. "I really like you. I know it's out of nowhere and I'm sorry for calling you out here in the middle of the night, but I needed to tell you."

Accepting Osamu's Confession is your hand reaching out to grab his, his rambling stopping in its tracks as he registers your words. It's silence for a moment before he speaks once more, his hand flipping to intertwine with yours. "I didn't really think I'd get this far if I'm being honest." His smile growing by the second. ______________________________________________________________

Dating Osamu is slow and gentle. It's sitting together in class even if it means getting there early. It's his pinky brushing yours as he works up the courage to grab your hand then his ears turning pink when you grab his hand before he could grab yours.

Dating Osamu is helping each other with homework before he has to go to practice, sitting together on a bench trying to cram every problem into the few minuets you have. It's him trying to hide his growing smile when you get a problem you were struggling on right.

Dating Osamu is getting text messages early in the morning to remind you of the things you often forget. "eat breakfast before leaving." or "make sure to bring your homework in today." It's play fighting over who gets the last bite of food. His finger flicking your forehead when you try to distract him to get the last bite.

Dating Osamu is waiting for each other. It's him waiting for you at the front gates of school after morning practice to walk together. It's you walking him to practice before going off to do whatever club activity or homework you need to finish, then coming back to meet him after practice and walk home together.

Si me toca exponer en los próximos meses, está será la foto con la que abriré.

Ojalá todos en Maracaibo fueran así de salidos para tomarse una foto.
