You’re going to wear a hole in the floor with the amount of pacing you’ve done, a strip back and forth in the wake of your nervousness. You couldn’t help it! The mixture of anticipation and excitement was festering in your stomach like a cocktail, sloshing around even as you counted down the seconds.
Chihiro was very insistent on being the one to plan the date, telling you they wanted to be brave enough to go out somewhere nice. You weren’t quite sure what to wear, so you settled for something in the middle - not quite formal, but not quite casual.
Eventually, a knock comes from the door and you open it excitedly to the smile of your partner. They’re standing there, a little skittish, with a bundle of flowers in hand. Your heart warms, wrapping your arms around them in a swell of affection - in response, they squeak something about being careful with the flowers, flustered by the sudden contact.
Once you’ve found a suitable place to leave the beautiful flora, the two of you head out hand in hand. When you ask Chihiro about what their plans are, they give a little smile as they swing your interlocked hands back and forth nervously, telling you that it’s a surprise but that you’ll really like it!
You’re taken to a nice café - high-end enough to be a little more fancy than you were used to, but not formal enough to be worrying about posture or mannerisms. A reservation has been made in advance and when Chihiro tells the waiter their name, the two of you are lead towards a table at the back.
At first, you can tell they’re nervous. Stuttering more than usual, taking more time than usual to respond to your questions, it’s really quite endearing. They really want to make this a good date for the both of you, even if it means confronting their anxious feelings.
When you lean over your plates of food and take their hand, they break out into a lovely shade of crimson as you tell them it’s okay to be nervous, you are too! It’s easier to fall back into more mundane topics after that as they excitedly tell you about their newest programming project.
Afterwards, the two of you split the bill and head back home; You’re not sure if it’s Chihiro’s presence or the food, but you’re suddenly feeling fuller, a place in your heart melting at their smile when you tell the right joke.
The sun is setting as the two of you walk in comfortable silence before you spot a hill, coming up with an idea. You tug them along by the sleeve up the cobblestone path.
It takes a little while but eventually the two of you are situated at the top of the hill, a perfect view of the sun setting - no buildings stood between your eyes and the view of the lazy colours settling in the sky, a collage of purples and pinks and yellows.
Chihiro gasps from their seated position, absolutely enthralled by the wispy clouds. Shuffling a little closer while they’re distracted, you hook an arm around their side. They don’t even seem to notice until you rest your face on their shoulder, sighing contently.
After a long while of gazing up at the most beautiful sky you’ve seen in months, the two of you pull away from each other - Chihiro looks contemplative for a moment, gazing downwards as they work up their courage. You think you know what they’re going to ask, but wait patiently, knowing it means a lot to them.
It takes a few moments, but they ask if they can kiss you. Upon receiving a positive affirmation, they gently take your cheeks in their shaking hands, pulling you closer for a kiss. It’s just as warm as the sunset before you, slow and gentle as you hold one another.
You’re brought home by a very self-satisfied Chihiro, who thanks you for a wonderful afternoon - you give them a kiss on the cheek for that, watching them walk away covering themselves with a flustered arm.
