Rumors

─ Tenjiku x fem!reader

─ Summary: certain rumors about a powerful girl lead Tenjiku to you

─ Warnings: description of unpleasant ways to die

Part two / Part three / Part four

"I'm telling you again, you have the wrong person…"

You murmured to some boys that had cornered you before you could leave through the great doors of your high school, the head of that small group looked at you, fed up with you denying being who people said.

"Don't be stupid! There is no one else that matches your name."

You groaned in disgust when you noticed his growing anger, you didn't want to waste your valuable free time, you frowned making the hardest look you could, your dark circles dimmed your eyes and you gave one last blank look at the 'leader' of the group. The atmosphere around you intensified, as if it were suffocating, as if you were capable of breaking the necks of these five guys with one move.

The legs of the teenagers began to shake from the personality change, your sinister face and your iron gaze were enough to scare them away, although they said they would come back to kick your ass, you and your so-called gang.

"My God, what's up lately with all the jerks looking for a fight?"

You really didn't understand shit, as far as you knew, this last month there were several groups of people asking about you, they wanted to fight you because apparently you had a powerful gang and your name started to spread like wildfire, you heard nonsense like you had defeated a group of twenty men without ruffling your hair, even while filing your nails.

You? fighting? Do you even want to socialize a bit? If beating people up counts as socializing of course, you had nothing to do with those things anyway, the only struggles you had were with your math problems and if that subject was a person it would have kicked your ass not vice versa.

You had to ask a few people from your class, some who were more or less trustworthy and not swayed by those rumors, yes, rumors about you, not that you paid much attention to them but man, painting you as something inhuman that would be able to dismounting people twice your size with one punch was a bit over the top, wasn't it?

It's not that you looked cute or flirty, that was the main cause of the rumors starting, okay you admit it, you don't have the best fashion sense and maybe you dress a little darker than the others, maybe what sparked the rumors was your impassive demeanor, and your shitty face, because you didn't like to get up early, who does anyway? You just get to class and everyone is greeting each other with smiles on a Monday at seven in the morning, shut the fuck up, you want to sleep.

Looking back, yeah, maybe it was a bit because of your behavior, another reason that you thought would be of weight was your honesty, harsh honesty, you didn't like to beat around the bush and you went straight to the point of the issues, maybe that made your classmates see you as intimidating, geez, if they knew you cry over strangers' stories on the internet every time you open Twitter… Maybe some people were even intimidated by your height? Not that you were a building, but considering the average height of the girls, you were a bit above that.

The truth is that you had to agree with some of the rumors, you are creepy as fuck, not only sometimes because of your disheveled appearance, but also because of some of your comments, you could make very accurate descriptions of painful or disturbing deaths if is that the situation made you think of ways to die doing something everyday. Well, it's not your fault that you're a fan of crime shows, serial killers, etc.

"I hope we're not wasting time with this."

"Calm down Shion, it's not like we have anything to do, we're all here for a reason."

Izana commented as he looked at the others, Tenjiku had gathered because Kisaki had been hearing those rumors, your rumors, they were looking for strong people and if you had what they were looking for you were definitely joining the group.

"Whatever, he could have at least brought his pathetic ass here too…"

"Nu-uh, I needed Sanzu, Mucho and him to do something for me, anyway, I think we're here now."

You were half asleep at recess, getting some rest from another night of tossing and turning, otome games were messing with your sleep schedule. You almost fell asleep if not for a slight jolt, you groaned but opened your eyes finding yourself face to face with lavender eyes that seemed to penetrate your soul, your mind assimilated everything quickly when you saw how they were dressed together, also noticing the others behind of the boy.

They didn't even ask for your name when you put your hands to your head, letting out a cry of despair because you already knew what they had come for.

“I swear to god, I don't have a gang and I can't take down twenty men with one punch."

"Well, most people don't think the same as you."

Ran spoke, balancing his weapon against his palm, smiling sadistically at how you trembled a little. You know that intimidating feeling, when you know someone is angry and they seem like they're invincible? That same pressure the boys felt when you got up from your seat, although it was only a defense mechanism when you were scared.

"Just leave me alone, I don't want or am interested in fighting, I don't care what you think I am."

Apparently the trick of looking intimidating didn't help, the guy with a scar on his forehead that reached down to one of his eyes approached threateningly, grabbing your shirt to lift you into the air. You screamed internally from the looks you were getting from everyone, normally the idiots who came to confront you would get scared ─luckily─ and you didn't have to run away, but it was clear that these guys weren't weaklings like all the others.

Since silent intimidation didn't help, it might help to use your twisted mind, hopefully you might scare them off.

"I would like to lock you in a coffin alive, bury you three meters underground, wait for you to die slowly, gradually running out of oxygen, when your mind fades your bodies will rot, I will dig the bodies up and feed them to the Insects more disgusting than you can imagine."

"What the hell-"

Rin looked at you with a grimace seeing how you didn't blink once in your little monologue, Kakucho's grip loosened a bit, lowering you back to the ground but keeping you where you were. You started to sweat, without letting them recriminate you, you started to talk again.

"If you don't like that death, I can also sedate you, empty all your bodies, without intestines, while you slowly watch each other as you die little by little, I will do it slowly playing with your livers, making your intestines into scarves, I will burn you and I will feed you to pigs."

Kokonoi and Mochizuki looked at each other in silence with disgust clear on their faces, Kakucho had let go of you taking a step back to Izana's side. Hanma had a small crooked smile, it was his turn to approach you, patting your shoulder.

"What creepy things you say to be a scared cat."

Well, shit, your words hadn't sounded with the usual impassive enough tone or your nervousness had been detected by this damned matchstick. You shrank into your site, feeling smaller next to him, you raised your hands in defeat.

“Non-verbal and verbal intimidation don't work, okay, I give up, but I guess you know that that shit was just rumors."

Everyone was stunned at the guffaw Izana let out after that, he normally kept that serious tone when he was in a group, he usually only let that side out when he was alone with Kakucho, but oh boy, you were too much.

“Look at you, trying to intimidate us while you were all scared! You know, if you'd made it clear, we would have left, but you're so funny."

"What? If you're saying that you're a bad liar, I could see how you wanted to beat me up."

"Oh of course not, I would never hit a girl-"

"Yes, you should break a leg for lying so bad."

You gave your typical blank face, much more relaxed than before, but still a bit uncomfortable with all the attention you were getting, not to mention someone still with their arm around your shoulders.

"Hey, matchstick, personal space."

It was the turn of the Haitani brothers to laugh at the nickname you had given Hanma, he turned away with an offended look, but you didn't care, looking at the brothers, without a doubt their laughter bothered you because they were the ones that scared you the most.

"I don't know what's so funny, eh, Bert and Ernie?"

Kokonoi bit his tongue to keep from laughing, thinking that if he did, he would be the next person to be attacked by your big mouth, however Izana spoke again.

"You go from completely shaking and trying to be brave to messing with us? Every time you surprise me more."

"Nah, I'm just being honest now that I know you won't break my legs, I'm not making fun of you, I'm just objectively saying what you look like."

Now they all fell silent looking at you, feeling as if you were criticizing them with a simple look, imagining characters similar to them to make fun of.

"Wait, does that mean that you associate us all with something or someone?" you hummed affirmatively at Mochizuki's question "can we know-"

"You look like an onigiri if you put yourself completely in front."

"What about me?"

Madarame watched expectantly as you narrowed your eyes at him, analyzing his stance, oh, you definitely knew what he was.

"Gay."

"Wha- THAT'S NOT EVEN AN OBJECT OR PERSON!"

"Are you saying that gays are not people? Pretty disrespectful of you."

"IT'S NOT THE POINT!" he complained for a few minutes like Mochi for their comparison, he looked at you again, pointing to the remaining three; Koko, Izana and Kakucho "What about them? What stupid thing are they?"

"Mmh…" you rubbed your index finger and thumb on your chin, thinking deeply, looking at the three boys "They are just handsome."

"Nah, this bitch is not being serious-"

Hanma prevented the blonde from hitting you for your comparisons, despite also being insulted, the scene was quite funny for him. Ignoring the little spat everyone started to have, deciding you'd had too much human contact for today, you packed up your stuff to leave, only someone stopped you before you left.

"Take this please, let's talk later!"

You blinked at the piece of paper Izana had given you, it was his phone number, you shrugged, you liked the internet contact better anyway, you took one last look at the group before disappearing, briefly greeting Kakucho, who went with the only one you caught eyes with, completely ignoring how his cheeks had some rosy tinge.

"Someone had a crush?"

"Shut up Ran."

Rejection

─ Tenjiku x fem!reader

─ Summary: Rejection was never good for anyone, except these guys who find it funny... right?

─ Warnings: none

Part one / Part two / Part four

You sat quietly waiting on a park bench near your institute, watching how some children played with the snow piled up on the ground, without a hint of emotion until you saw how one of those children slipped and fell face down on the ground, then yes you smiled, ah, childish suffering, did you feel sorry for it? yes, were you going to feel bad for laughing? definitely not.

You rubbed your hands so they wouldn't lose heat, looking both ways waiting for the person you were meeting to show up somewhere. Not that you really wanted to go for a walk, but it was what was recommended and your only normal friend asked you so… what else could you do?

Unfortunately you were quite 'innocent' and you didn't notice the signs that your 'friend' was giving you, he didn't approach you for nothing to try to make friends, that guy had fallen in love with you in the most stupid way possible, you just you left him a pen, but hey, we are nobody to judge the reasons for an adolescent affair, the fact is that no, you were not 'innocent', you noticed each of the boy's gestures, the loving ones, you did not reciprocate them so that he didn't get his hopes up and you decided to ignore his advance attempts to maintain a platonic relationship.

Which brings you to today where he practically asked you on a date disguised as a normal friends outing, you accepted him hoping he wouldn't make one of those declarations of love… seriously, you thought people had too idealized the idea of asking someone out romantically, when in truth it was as simple as asking outright.

And this also led to a certain group of guys ─gossip─ being hidden a few meters from your position, mainly the Haitani brothers, Hanma and Shion because he was a drama-loving idiot, the others just decided to ignore the issue. They found out because you sometimes talked about your friend in the group chat of Tenjiku, they just did a little more digging and voilá. They wanted, mainly, to make fun of you, whether you get rejected or get a partner, they understood that you were the one in love and that's why you avoided the subject for the most part when the brothers tried to flirt, poor them and your friend.

Talking about the devil…

"I'm glad you didn't reject my offer like the other five times…!"

"It's not that I reject them out of choice, you always choose the worst days to go for a walk."

"Y-yes, well, shall we go?"

You nodded, ignoring the blush on his cheeks, the morning passed quite normally, you didn't do much more than go to the temple to make some offerings for Christmas, visit the markets and eat something in some food stalls. The only thing you noticed was your other friends, yes, they thought you wouldn't notice them dressed in a fake beard and a red pompom hat, you took advantage of your school friend having to escape to the bathroom for a few minutes to stare at them, you sighed, shaking you head.

"Creepy bitches…"

You vocalized for them to get the message that came out as a whisper while you showed them the middle finger, earning only laughs from them. The date continued for a while longer, now you were more aware of the presence of the other four, but you decided to ignore them, you could scold them at another time.

"Can we sit there for a moment?"

Your friend pointed to a bench a little further away than the rest, you frowned as you saw how one of these pretty pink-leafed trees was positioned next to it, like a small lake, what the hell was this now? A romance anime? You hoped that what you had in mind would not happen, you both sat in silence, you looking at the floor, losing the desire to continue communicating while the boy moved his hands nervously, until he steeled himself to speak again.

"So… do you know that you are very pretty? I'm sure you've been told this many times, but seriously, I- I think I like you a lot-, I don't know if you feel the same way, but I would like, I- could I have a chance with you? I really love you!"

Oh, nothing goes the way you want it, does it? You didn't know whether to give him a hug to comfort him or pay him to have his eyesight operated, but you didn't have time to react when his hands grabbed yours, unconsciously your gaze darkened and you looked directly into each other's eyes in a long and tense silence that you decided break with a sigh

"I'm not interested, sorry."

You tried not to use your flat and uninteresting voice, but it was impossible, you saw the change of expression in the foreground, how his heart broke, you swore you heard a distant laugh too familiar, but you took it to the back of your mind. This boy was still your friend and you had to console him for a few minutes until he accepted his rejection for now, he decided to leave completely defeated while you were left alone on the bench, looking at the cloudy sky.

“That was fucking painful! Did you see his expression!?"

You looked ahead to find a Hanma crying with laughter, Haitanis with a shit-eating smile, and Shion just as happy to see someone mentally destroyed.

“We thought you were the one with the crush, you know? But this was so much better, you're such a heartthrob like me, wouldn't that make us the perfect couple?"

Ran strutted to sit next to you free as the other was occupied by a still laughing hysterical Hanma who was being patted by Madarame to catch up on lost air.

"Yes, a perfectly toxic relationship."

It was Rin's turn to almost choke on his own saliva when laughing at the refusal you gave his brother, it was worth laughing even though he later received a punch from Ran to shut his mouth, even with that he didn't care insinuate too.

"I think we have a better connection and I wouldn't cheat on you like Ran does with his girlfriends."

"I would be much better than all of you, on my way to being the favorite."

You looked silently at Hanma who had gone ahead to answer before you complained about Rindou's words, you sighed heavily, exchanging glances with Shion, you smiled internally and he looked at you as if a question mark was flying over his head.

"If I want shitty boyfriends, yes, you are there, but I think that from here, the best boyfriend would be Shion."

You shrugged, turning on your phone to check the time and scan Twitter while the boys succumbed to your words, complaining and proclaiming themselves the best boyfriends while Madarame froze, a small blush on his cheeks because no one had ever noticed him like that ─and it's not like you two had the best relationship of the group─, although you certainly didn't, you just wanted to annoy the others by using him as a card.

What you didn't expect is that they started arguing enough to start making a list of pros and cons about dating, a discussion they got you into because they needed to know everything about your red flags and things related to having a good partner, to add fuel to the fire someone else showed up.

"What are you all doing here?"

Everyone was silent when they saw Izana accompanied by Kakucho, both of them had been shopping for Christmas and by chance they ran into you. The truth they weren't going to admit is that they were also curious about your supposed crush but didn't want to let others know, so these two had also been following your date from afar, only they clearly knew how to hide it much better.

"We discussed to know who would be a better boyfriend than Madarame for her."

"Why is Shion ranked as the best?"

Kakucho dared to ask, looking directly in your direction, all his curious eyes now looking at you, you weren't going to deny that you felt a bit self-conscious by their intense gazes, you frowned, kicking the snow lightly.

"Why does that matter anyway?"

"Is it because you like him?"

And with Izana's simple accusatory question, they started arguing again, you rubbed your temples, noticing how the blonde sat unusually calm and not overflowing energy of idiocy everywhere.

"Do you seriously think I'm the best among them?"

He murmured, you looked directly at him for a few long seconds without blinking, you shook your head slowly, noticing another stricken look just like your friend's half an hour ago when you rejected him, wow what's up with these guys all sensitive over a few simple words.

"I'm not saying that you're a worse boyfriend for that, anyway I only said it to annoy them, I'm sure that despite being a bully and a psychopath, you can become a good boyfriend."

You tried to make him feel no worse, although you didn't try to hide the fact that he was still insane from enjoying beating up other people, but he thanked you in silence anyway.

"Wait, how do you make your comparison? Are you comparing us to your ex-boyfriend or something to determine if we're good enough or something?"

Ran's question silenced everyone, looking in your direction again, your social battery was running low at this point from so much collective idiocy and so many personal questions, still, you answered honestly.

"I've never had a partner, I'm not based on anything in particular, only on how that person treats others or their attitude."

"You've never had a partner?!"

"No?"

"Is this a joke or something?"

You denied Izana's question, ignoring Hanma's outburst of surprise, the others remained silent trying to assimilate that you hadn't had a partner, Kakucho was the one who dared to delve into the subject, in a more respectful way.

"Is there a specific reason…? If you want to answer of course."

You remained silent for a couple of minutes, thinking about all your years of life and interactions with other people as well as thoughts about yourself. You looked up from your clasped hands, looking at each of them for a brief moment, ending in the boy's bi-colored gaze.

“Well…it's hard trying to love someone else when you don't even love yourself." you let one of your biggest insecurities escape to the small group, softening your words of self-hatred, you decided to ignore the silence you had created, coughing and getting up from the bench "See you guys another time, I still have to buy the gifts for my parents, have a nice day and Merry Christmas."

You didn't wait for them to answer or come to, you left them thinking about your words for a few minutes, realizing now all those little moments with you, your impassivity and indifference hiding the little glimpses of insecurities.

"I think I'm glad she decided to reject that guy."

"Yeah… wait, how do you know that?"

Ran narrowed his eyes, looking at his leader, only receiving a menacing smile in response, silencing not only his doubts but also those of the other three who carelessly followed you.

Before they had a silly interest in you, just for teasing you by playing silly flirt, but now they started looking at you slightly differently, what was a little friendly interest was turning into a love interest, would a rejection be as fun if was this time one of them?

Serendipitous; Madarame Shion

Tags

Fluff, Cute, Kinda awkward, First Meeting, Love at First Sight, Down bad Shion, Reading books, Fav books, Coffee shop AU, Destined lovers, Very cute, Flirty Shion, Hard-to-get Reader, Overall fluff, Swooning, Flirting, Then there's Ran about to puke when he's looking at Shion

Enjoy Darling 😘

[Coffee shop au, fluff ] ; word count: 1.7k

__________

Summary

Romance books just portray the unrealistic idea of love. You knew that all the time and that's why you fantasize about these 'men written by women' a lot. So reading in your favourite coffee shop is always there to compensate for your loneliness.

But what if, one particular day...Madarame Shion suddenly interrupts your me-time?

Did you ever expect that his presence might take a whole new turn in your love life?

__________

Shion didn't know what was going on and what was this feeling.

But he can't stand it anymore.

He wants to know your name.

He stood up from his seat, leaving his untouched latte alone on the table since he didn't even bother to take a sip of it.

It's not like he intended to do that. His plan was to drink latte for a while as he was waiting for a friend of his that was busy getting a hair treatment in a nearby salon.

But now, looking at you made him forget how delicious the drink will be.

Your table was about three tables away from his. And you were minding your own business and not bothered by your surroundings since you were too invested with (favourite book) by (author's name).

But it'll be too dumb to say that you didn't notice that the chair in front of you, that was supposed to be vacant...was settled by someone else.

You moved your eyes to the person in front of you and that's where you saw a pair of black eyes that is too dark, that even your reflection can't be seen.

His hair was light blonde, short, and shaved, making his face tattoo exposed and you can clearly see that it resembles the shape of a lion.

With two piercings on each of his ears and he wore a black leather jacket, well it just makes this mysterious man's attractiveness increase even more.

That's when you know for sure, that this guy has such enticing features but you don't want to have those thoughts about him.

Because what he is doing right now is extremely rude. He didn't even ask permission to sit at your table.

"Can I help you?" You tried to express your discomfort so that he could get the hint...that you don't want his presence to be there.

"I don't know." He let out a chuckle. Amused by how feisty you are from the start.

"Maybe you can...by telling me your name." He rested his chin on his palm. His other free hand's fingers were busy knocking the table like its piano tiles.

"No, thank you." You sound displeased. Not wanting to be disturbed like this in your favourite coffee shop where it is exclusively supposed to be your me-time. Where supposedly, not even a single person can stop you or bother you from doing the things you love.

But he is doing that right now.

Being a nuisance.

"I'm Madarame Shion."

You furrowed your eyebrows at his sudden introduction. You were sure that you didn't ask his goddamn name or who he was in the first place.

But sometimes you can't understand the words that suddenly come out of your mouth.

"So your tattoo resembles your name?" Oblivious that your question will pump up his adrenaline even more.

A smile crept upon his face, knowing that your question was electrifying him.

"Oh, so you are interested in me?"

Damn it.

This wasn't a competition, but you felt like you were defeated.

You're telling a massive lie if you say that you aren't attracted to him. He is handsome, especially when he flashes that lovely smile.

Maybe it was natural that he is charming and the aura that he radiates was enthralling, that you can't resist.

But you don't want to give in to these foreign desires. It could be a possibility that he is just messing with you or he wants to fill in his ample time. Maybe you're not the only girl that he is flirting with, it could be plenty, seeing how expert he is with swooning you.

So there's no point in feeling these butterflies in your stomach.

"Please kindly leave." You said. Anger was quite obvious in your tone. You know for sure that emotion welled up in you, not because you hate his presence, but the fact that he's just playing around and he might have done this to a thousand girls.

You don't want to care anymore.

You quickly moved back your eyes to your book. Not bothering to take a last look on him before he leaves.

But you were aware that he is still there.

Guess you have to ignore him until he decided to leave (where at the very moment that he already found you boring).

But no.

Unexpected words come out of his mouth.

That very sentence.

Those words.

God.

You can't ignore him anymore.

Because you were in a trance, after hearing those exact words come out from his mouth.

"Huh?" You acted like you didn't understand what he said but you know that you did. It was just an act.

"That's my favourite quote from that book." He said.

No words can be retorted back to him.

Because fuck.

That's your favourite quote too.

Out of countless authors, infinite books and indescribable amounts of quotes that lie within their books, magically, both of you share the same favourite one.

It might just be clear that the world is trying to tell you that this very person in front of you....is one in a million.

And you are lucky to find him.

"You read books?" Maybe your question is quite condescending but you can't believe it. He doesn't look like he's interested to read books or even bother to look at one even. He's already unbelievably handsome and he read books when he's bored? It sounds like the word 'perfect' is more imperfect than him.

"Surprise, I guess."

You tried your best to not smile when listening to his answer. You don't want to show your real emotions. You're not ready yet. Since you're afraid that he will think that you're someone easy to read and predict.

It does feel like a dream come true. Finding someone that likes the same things as you. Men, that read books are not something rare but having the same favourite quote with them?

It's just too specific. This can't be coincidental.

This must be some serendipitous shit that only happens in romance books or movies.

That's why you can't give in to all of this yet.

More things should be dugout.

"Do you read other books from (author's name)?"

He then started to list out every book that the author has published . Stating which one is his least favourite and saying which one he had repeated a thousand times. Stating out his opinion bravely of which one had the best plot and which one had the best characters.

God.

You're agreeing to every word he says because you do think the same as him.

No way.

Your meeting with him is not a coincidence.

But it sounds so humiliating for you to say it's destiny.

"So this book was the one that led you here? At my table?"

"Hmm...not exactly. That's not the main reason."

He then started to lean his body closer and he stared into your eyes deeply. He can't deny it all, your eyes are so mesmerizing to look at and if he had the choice, he wants to look at them for eternity.

"Can I-

"Shion!" A sudden voice called out his name.

The voice came from the door of the coffee shop.

Shion rolled his eyes out of annoyance. Knowing that his attempt to try to get to know the pretty girl in front of him gets interrupted so suddenly.

You moved your gaze to see Shion's friend who had pigtails as his hairstyle and black golden hair as his noticeable feature.

"Be there in a minute!" Shion responded without looking back at his friend.

The sound of the bells rang the coffee shop, indicating that his friend had closed the door.

"Well, guess I am...kindly leaving."

You were quite startled to hear him use your words. It's stupid even that you yourself didn't remember your words before.

He's about to leave now.

But you don't want him to. It doesn't matter if he will rudely or kindly leaving you after this, you don't care anymore.

You want him to stay.

But there's nothing for you to worry about when abruptly, he took out a small piece of paper from the pockets of his ripped jeans.

"I can't say 'see you later' for now...

... because that depends on you." He said while sliding the paper in your direction.

Relief swarmed into you.

Knowing that you are going to see him again. It's cliché and predictable to know that he's giving you his number. But it was the only way to keep in contact and maybe plan out your second meeting with him.

As he was about to move back to his table, your words halted him.

"(Last name) (First name)."

Finally.

Shion gave a glance at you from his shoulders. A smirk starts to form from his handsome face.

Your eyes were averted away from his. You cannot handle the embarrassment you feel for suddenly introducing yourself at the very last minute.

She's fucking cute. Shion thought when he sees how demure you can be.

"I knew that your name would be beautiful."

Heat started rising up to your cheeks.

Everything was so cheesy and unreal but that was the sweetest thing anyone had ever said to you.

Still, your eyes remained looking at everywhere else but his eyes, because you know if you did try, you might die.

He then continued his steps back to his table and retrieved his latte cup. Moving his way to the door, he smiled like a dork because he can feel your stares at him.

His friend, Haitani Ran was about to vomit his lunch before this, just by seeing the sight of Shion's shit-eating grin. I mean if you were him, you will also cringe when you see your own friend flirting with somebody else.

Shion's smile is charming for you but it's disgusting for Ran.

"Dude, stop smiling like that, you're creeping the shit out of me."

While you already see Shion and his friend out of your sight, that's when you quickly took the paper that he gave to you. You don't want to be seen obvious that you were excited to get his number.

You opened it slowly and you can see his beautiful and neat handwriting.

There it was, the digits of his number.

Well, that's expected.

But underneath the digits, it was something unexpected.

You never knew that the questions that you have for him is finally answered.

It's confirmed.

That you want to see him later on.

Because this type of people approaching you will be something once in a lifetime.

You read that very sentence on the paper multiple times. Making sure that it sticks inside your core memory and you want to feel that excitement you felt, just like you've read it the first time.

XXX-12341987

Your eyes are the reason.
