'Where, where….. There she is!'
Sora found Ayame gazing at him with a beautiful smile. He hurried his steps towards her. Ayame could feel Sora was nervous, but she didn't think much of it.
"A-Ayame…." Ayame again sensing his nervousness asked, "Hm? Everything alright, Sora-kun?"
"Y-yeah, yeah! I was just saying…. Let's start walking…." He wanted to punch himself now, 'FUCK! JUST SAY IT DAMMIT!!!' He cursed himself internally.
"Mhm, of course," Ayame agreeing started walking slowly with Sora doing the same.
"So, how were your classes?" Ayame curiously inquired, "Nothing much, couldn't focus much as always, I'll just have to study at home to catch up," Sora said with an awkward smile.
"Oh? Well, if you have any problems, feel free to ask me! I can also give you some suggestions for the tests~"
"Thanks, I will be sure to," Ayame had offered to help in the past, but his closed-up self could never ask. But now, it was different. He has come to trust her, which has honestly surprised him. He didn't think he would ever be able to trust someone, especially after what happens to him on a daily basis.
But Ayame…. She was different. Sora didn't know why. It's almost like something inside him told him that she is safe. He can only be "normal" around her.
Sora quickly put that thought aside, and got back to asking Ayame out! He had to do it!
"Ayame…. I wanted to ask something…" Sora's face slowly started getting flustered, "What is it?~"
"Uhm… *cough* W-well, you know, we started dating and all, and tomorrow happens to be a weekend, do you p-perhaps wanna go on a…. Date?" The last word, barely above a whisper, "I understand if you don't! You might be busy, I totally un-"
"OF COURSE!!!!" Ayame shouted with excitement, her face matching her hair.

Ehehehe he asked me out on a date! Like a real date!! I am so fucking happy. Honestly, I wanted to jump on him right now! His way of asking was so cutee!! His face was beet red(A/N: Yours wasn't better….) Ehehehe, he asked me on a date~ Oh wait! This makes me remember!
—
Sora's heart was thumping against his ribcage, nearly shooting out. He was happy about finally managing to ask her out. It took a lot of his energy. Now this makes him remember, he didn't decide on the date location, 'Fuck! Uhhh!! Where can we go? Somewhere calm perhaps? I can't handle crowdy places for the life of me! No, no, no! I can't be selfish, I shouldn't take her to a boring place! I should ask for some time, but when I do decide, how will I even contact her? I don't even have a phone, ugh!' While Sora was banging his head, Ayame suddenly called out,
"Sora-kun."
"Huh? W-what is it?"
"I have something for you…. Please don't refuse this. Remember, how you mentioned not having a phone to contact me? I actually…. Bought one for you," Sora started panicking, "A-Ayam-"
"Wait! Let me finish! I know you will reject this, but please don't! This is just one of my many selfish desires. I want to talk to you outside of school! I want to fall asleep while talking to you! So please accept this! I even bought a cheap one, so you don't reject it fully."
She quickly took a box from her bag and handed it to Sora. He was still in shock, not knowing what to say. Isn't he taking advantage of her? First the bento, now this. How will he be able to pay her back?
Ayame understanding Sora's internal conflict said, "Sora-kun, please don't overthink it. I am doing this for my happiness. You're not taking advantage of me in any way. I know how you tend to overthink things,"
"A-Ayame… Honestly, I have no words…. I feel like I am a materialistic person suddenly… I honestly was going to reject this at first. I s-swear, I will pay you back in the future!" Pure determination could be seen in his eyes.
Ayame was happy he accepted the "small" gift she gave. But she was happier seeing Sora slowly growing more confident in himself, "I won't stop you from paying me back, but remember the currency must be affection," Ayame teased, 'That was so cheesy, uuuuuuu!'
Sora hearing that didn't get flustered, but rather smiled gently, "Also, I set up the phone for you, and added my number~ You can look at it after going home,"
"Thank you, I guess, now I can send you the date location later," Sora said while looking at the box, "Mhm, I'll be waiting for the message," Ayame happily agreed.
They continued chatting, soon reaching the place where both of them had to part.
"I will try to text you later using this phone, bye."
"Be sure to, I will be waiting!"
Saying that, Ayame started walking while looking back at him. Sora waved at her for some time before also beginning to walk. He was thinking about possible date places, wanting to make a good impression. Unsurprisingly, this will be his first time going on a date. (A/N: Heh~)
