Naoto's POV
We reached the table, and it seed to be a round wooden table, as the boy gestured to us to sit down. I slid the chair out which also seed to be wooden, but had cushions on them. Taking a seat, I looked towards Saishi who was already looking at .
"Here's the nu, Sir." The boy handed over a black card as it was the nu and Saishi took it from his hand with a smile as he nodded and said, "Thank you."
Saishi was quite mature for his age and that thing always attracted towards him. He seed to be quite familiar with social norms or rather his socializing skills were good. He is also more wise than for so reason, I wonder what his problem is.
"Is sothing wrong?" He asked and his voice broke my train of thoughts as I realised that I was staring at him all this while. Smiling awkwardly, I nodded my head from left to right and said, "Oh, it's fine… by the way what are ordering?"
His eyes shifted at the nu then at , as he turned the nu card and passed it towards , "Here, decide for yourself.."
I was confused as he was giving the whole nu to decide for myself but it wouldn't be good since a date is between two people so deciding everything for myself would be selfish. I hesitantly took the nu from his hands, "Eh?"
"Let check…" I said, as I looked into the nu and saw the bunch of dishes in appetizers and starters. I slightly shifted my eyes upwards and looked at Saishi as he seed to be fiddling with his mobile.
He looked quite calm considering it was his first date and stuff. Or rather he was just good at handling stress unlike . It may appear like nothing affects from outside but inside, I would be feeling a bunch of emotions.
My eyes were wandering around subtly, as I was observing the interior of the cafe. It had the aesthetics of the late 90s and there was slow music going on in the background which was really soothing and complinted the atmosphere.
"How co you know of this place?" I asked, as his eyes shifted up from his mobile and looked at and he said, "I have co to this area with my friends, so I know."
"Oh… I'm liking the looks of this place." I expressed my honest opinion about this place, as he smiled and added, "You'll like their food too."
I appeared like he had co here before with his friends and eaten their food since he was quite confident about his claim. I nodded my head, and asked, "Yeah, let check… by the way what will you order?"
He looked confused for a mont, as he seed to think for so ti before replying in an uncertain tone, "Uh… I'll probably order sothing with chicken in it."
"Chicken?" I was curious, as he chuckled and replied, "I love chicken."
He loved chicken and dishes with them, which was sothing new I got to know about him. We have never talked about our food preferences till that mont. All I knew was that he loved chocy milk because he would always be drinking one in school.
"What about your chocy milk?" I asked as he looked at and said, "Oi Senpai, not fair. I can't choose."
After placing the order, we talked with each other while the food was being prepared. Though the topic of our conversation wasn't sothing deep. We were just talking about how different we act at school compared to outside.
Well he seems a bit approachable in school, but outside he just has an intimidating vibe about him. Though he was a guy I couldn't predict at all and his actions are sotis really weird.
Later our orders arrived, and we continued talking while eating. I couldn't believe that my idea of going on a date differed so much compared to what it was when I was Vivian. It might be true that people around soone affect them.
After we were done eating, he was drinking his hot chocolate while accompanying around the bookshelves. He seed to have quite so knowledge about books too and apparently he liked to read novels too. He was a complete geek.
Though, it was finally ti for us to go ho, and I wouldn't say that the date was boring, albeit all we did was eat so food while talking with each other. I wouldn't say that this was the plan I had in my head, but I definitely enjoyed this.
We got out of the cafe and it was already evening. The sun was setting as the sky was lit with bright orange colour and we were walking side by side. I glanced at his face and it didn't bore any expression.
It was really irritating that he always had the sa face no matter what happened. I couldn't tell if he also enjoyed it or not. We were walking, my hand was brushing against his but didn't seem to pay much attention to it.
Why wouldn't he hold my hand? I knew he wasn't bad at reading the atmosphere. My eyes glanced up towards him as he was narrowing his eyes at with a confused look on his face.
I didn't say anything and brushed it off with a smile as we kept moving. Suddenly I felt his fingers upon my palm as he wrapped them around and held my hand. Embarrassed by this, I looked at him as he had a slight smile on his face.
"What?" I asked in an agitated tone as he chuckled softly and looked at , "Nothing, I just like holding your hand."
The rest of the walk continued in silence. So my first date with this guy wasn't as I expected it to be. It was full of things I was experiencing
for the first ti from a guy. Vivian was a good boyfriend too, if I compare him to Saishi but Saishi feels closer for so reason.
That's how my life changed. I went from dating a guy from Kendo club to a complete geek.
