First Date

"For the millionth time, he willed himself to stay calm. It wasn’t like this was the first time he’d talked with her alone. Those few times they’d walked home after work, those had been like dates, right? Although at the time he hadn’t even dared to think of the word “date”. Nor had he even allowed himself to think of her as anyone more than his sister’s friend. But this, this was…official. She’d asked him out to this. And, most frustratingly, Gakupo couldn't find a logical explanation for why he of all people was so desperately anxious for this to work out."
