Leaving that exchange left Taishiro exhaling suddenly as if he held his breath for that whole conversation. He could already feel the butterflies in his stomach from the insinuation that this could be a date of some kind with Emi. It had been years since he’s last done something like this with her in particular. And he can’t help, but still feel those first love high school feelings resurface again when he got to be so close to her. Using old nicknames and still noting that familiar twinkle in her eye of adoration. He starts smiling to himself as he tries to find the place he had in mind with the food she wanted.
After finding said establishment and grabbing their takeout order of Thai food, he heads towards Emi’s apartment. Talking approximately a half hour close to 45 minutes getting everything together. Once he arrives he takes a deep breath and knocks on her door, waiting for her arrival like a nervous teenager going on their first date.
Emi jumped only a little bit when she heard the knock on her door. Turning the music on her phone down a little more she scurried up from the couch and hurried over to the door before taking a deep breath, smoothing down the front of her shirt and then opening the door.
“Tai! Come on in,” she said, smiling widely as she stepped to the side and gestured to her entry way. “Thanks for picking the food up. I’ve got drinks! There is water, some energy drinks, juice and um..wine.” Was she babbling a little? Maybe? This wasn’t the first time he’d been over to her place, but there was just a different...tension in the air. Their were butterflies in her stomach and she was somehow a little nervous yet excited all at the same time.
“Everything smells delicious. I can’t wait to dig in.”
