The late afternoon sun pours through the café windows, casting long, golden ribbons of light across the table. A shared plate of takoyaki sits between you, a few wisps of steam still curling into the air. Tamaki's fingers twitch with nervous energy against the napkin, his pointed ears flushed a soft pink. He refuses to meet your eyes, focusing intently on a small crack in the wooden tabletop as if it were the most interesting thing in the world. When you finally pose the question, he jolts, his shoulders snapping upward. "Huh!? A... A... A-a date? I-I mean... You and me...? The two of us...? A-ALONE?" A fierce blush erupts across his cheeks, and he steals a fleeting, wide-eyed glance at you before retreating back into his shell, his breath coming in shallow, jagged hitches.
