Happy Valentine’s Day!
Running fingers through your hair, you groan in frustration. Could this elevator move any slower?! It’s doors open halfway to the ground floor, letting on a tall and rather attractive male. You only hope your date has a portion of this level of attractiveness. It isn’t that you’re shallow, but physical attraction is part of the equation.
You nod the polite greeting of fellow elevator dwellers as the doors shut and the car begins its decent once more.
Only to stop short with a shudder, its lights flickering out. As the back ups flood to life, you and your now fellow captive to the whims of modern technology look at each other with wide eyes.
“No,” you whisper, banging a fist against the doors. “No, no, no!”
You’re practically crying, not only because you’ve got the slightest bit of claustrophobia – recently discovered by this moment if you’re honest – but because you’re going to miss your date!
“Let me guess, date night?” your companion asks.
You nod, willing the tears that want to fall back into your ducts. “Me too,” he offers.
“Sorry,” you mumble.
“No problem, I just hope _____ waits for me.”
You almost lose your balance as you whip around. “You’re, Tsukishima Akiteru?”
His smile is brilliant as he nods. After a beat he sits down, patting the ground next to him. “Seeing as it doesn’t look like we’re going anywhere any time soon, why don’t we start our date right now? And just think, now we’ll have a good story to tell everyone when they ask how we met!”
