Third Person POV:

"Hey... can I ask you something?" Shinso asked, looking down at you.

"Of course, anything." You responded, gripping tightly to the brim of your skirt, silently bracing yourself for whatever he may ask.

Shinso rubbed the back of his neck, taking a deep breath.

"Would you be interested in going out with me...?"

You could feel your heart stop inside your chest.

"Me?" You asked, your jaw dropping.

"No, my pillow. Who else would I be talking to?" He said, covering his eyes. You could see his face turning red out of embarrassment.

"Sorry, that was really stupid of me, of course I'll go out with you!" You laughed. Everything felt like it was going super quickly. Shinso let out a sigh of relief and smiled, wrapping his warm arms around you in a hug.

You had no idea how to react to a situation like this. Now that your dating, what do you do in your free time? Will it be awkward? You both pulled away from the hug and smiled at each other. 

"Can I take you to the cafe that we went to the first time we actually hung out?" He asked, already planning your first date.

"That would be so much fun," You complied.

"Does tomorrow work for you?" He questioned, turning towards you on his bed.

"Yeah, I think so!" You smiled. You looked over at him when a memory suddenly struck you right in the head. The pockys.

How could you forget? If you were going to give them to him, today would be a good time. You figured that since your dorm was so far away, you could wait until later to give it to him, if he walks you home.

"You okay?" He asked, noticing you were dazed.

"Yeah, I'm still processing everything, plus I just remembered I forgot to do something." You nodded.

"Oh ok," He said, "What do you wanna do?" He asked. Poor Shinso had no idea what to do, he had never been in a situation like this.

 You pondered the question for a second before responding, "We could watch a movie or go somewhere?" You suggested.

"What would you like to do most?" He asked, readjusting his position on the bed. You could feel your cheeks heating up.

"Wanna watch a movie?" You asked.

"Sure, I have Netflix on my computer," He smiled softly, getting up and heading to his desk. He pulled his computer out from a drawer and came back to sit next to you.

"What do you wanna watch?" He asked. grabbing a folded blanket that was at the foot of his bed.

"Have you ever watched A Silent Voice?" You asked, slightly suggesting.

"No, is it good?" He asks, pulling the blanket over the two of you.

"Yeah, it's one of my favorites!" You nodded and smiled. (Guys, if you haven't seen this movie yet, I HIGHLY suggest it, I rate it a 10/10, it's on Netflix so you should go check it out!)

"Want to watch it?" He asked, logging into his account.

"Sure, I hope you like it, it's so good!" You said, leaning back onto the pillows on his bed, Shinso doing the same moments later and then holding the computer so that the two of you can see it.

Around 40 minutes into the movie, you look over at Shinso, who's watching the movie intently but catches you out of the corner of his eye, smiling at you. You quickly fix your gaze back on the movie in embarrassment.

Only seconds later, you can feel him interlace his fingers with yours, rubbing his thumb on your hand. "Is this ok?" he asks, looking at you for reassurance.

"Mhm!" You nodded in a very flustered manner. He laughed a little under his breath, he didn't know he had this kind of affect on you but he liked it.

"That was actually really good," Shinso said, reviewing the movie.

"Really? I'm glad you liked it." You sighed in relief.

"Yeah, it had its sad moments, but the ending was good." He nodded.

"Yeah," You agreed. You looked at the time on your phone, portraying 5:40 pm. (I'm too lazy to see if all the stuff you guys did adds up to that, so just pretend it does.)

"I should probably head out soon," You said, putting your phone in your pocket.

"Can I walk you to your dorm?" He asked. Perfect, then you can give him the pockys.

"Yeah, of course, thank you." You smiled, putting on your shoes.

Shinso grabbed his jacket and put on his shoes, opening the door for you on your way out. You thanked him and waited a second while he closed it. The two of you walked down the dorm hallways. It quickly became silent, with neither of you knowing what to say to each other, but the tension was killing you.

The only sounds being both of your footsteps and faint chatter from the 1C common room. You finally made it to the door of your dorm after what had felt like ages, you hated the tension, especially when you couldn't even tell what kind of tension it was.

"Thank you for walking me," You said, opening your dorm door.

"Yeah, of course." He nodded.

"And wait, before you go, I actually have something for you," You said, avoiding eye contact and walking to grab the Pocky's out of the bag you had set them in.

"Oh?" He peeks his head into your doorway, leaning on the door frame. You turned around and stuck the box out in front of you.

"I've had this for a bit of time now, I'm sorry I didn't get it to you earlier." You looked at the floor. 

"You really didn't have to." He grabs the box and looks at it, his face heating up.

"You remembered I like taro?" He had a small smile on his face. You kept your gaze on the floor, afraid to look up or else you felt like you might melt right through the floor.

"Of course I did." You smiled.

"Come here," He said. You looked up and saw him, a pocky already sitting between his lips. You had been so busy staring at the floor that you hadn't even noticed he had already dug into the box. Without hesitance you bit onto the other end as gently as you could.

This is the first time that you have been so close to him like this. The two of you slowly started to bite down, inching your way towards each other, you did everything in your power not to break that cookie, if you did you thought you might die of embarrassment.

 The two of you finally made it to the end and he gently leaned forward pressing his lips onto yours. Your heart felt like it was about to jump out of your throat. You leaned forward a bit more to deepen it a bit, feeling his hands trail up to your jaw. You wrapped your arms around his neck and pulled yourself closer, but eventually the two of you pulled away to get a breath.

"You have no idea how long I've been wanting to do that." He looks down at you smiling, you could hear light pants coming out of him.

"Same," You said, covering your face with your hands.

He grabbed you by your chin gently and made you look him in the eye, "You don't have to be afraid to look me in the eye." He had a slight smirk.

"I'm so sorry, I'm really awk-" You tried to explain but he kissed your forehead and laughed, 

"Don't apologize, it's ok." He let go of your chin and took a step back, rubbing the back of his neck.

"I just wanted to say that it's not because I'm uncomfortable or anything." You smiled, looking him in the eye this time.

"Well, I sure hope it's not." You both laughed.
