AAAAAGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Meet Cute with Akaashi Keiji

@luvring is that what you had in mind?

"Hello and welcome to XYZ, how can I help you today?"

The boy - man! - in front of you blinks once, twice before he blushes, the high set of his cheekbones dotted in the most adorable shade of pink - and you know your shades.

"I-I need to exchange something."

"No problem at all. We offer a thirty-day return policy. If you follow me to the checkout, we can go over the procedure."

It's hard to focus on the proper words with him looking at you like that. You try to catch your reflection as you walk by a mirror, but you can't tell if something's out of place or not. What you do see, however, is what you already knew when he walked in. He's cute. Incredibly so.

Dark, tousled hair that looks like he just got out of bed - but in the sexy way, not like you - and square glasses that fit him in way you want to study. You should have studied art, you think yet again, that way you could have asked him to sit for you.

He doesn't seem upset that all you can offer him is some store credit, but his voice catches a little when he tells you his name - Akaashi Keiji. Maybe he's giving you a fake name - it wouldn't be the first time - though he's someone you wouldn't have expected it from. He looks like he's modeling for Calvin Klein on his free time, not like someone who has to take back a bright yellow shirt because the size wasn't quite right.

"Do you want to pick out something else today?" You ask, trying to prolong the conversation. He nods.

Fifteen minutes he's back at the till, nervous red spots covering his neck and face. He hands you a different shirts, the color a light blue with a dog on it. "Setter", it reads below the animal.

It's cute and you smile up at him.

"You like dogs?"

"Uh, yeah." He rubs his neck. "Do you... eh... do you give recommendations too?"

"Recommendations?"

"Forget it, it was a stupid question," he tries to wave it off but your interest is piqued.

"Well, I might not have the most exclusive taste, but I can certainly tell you where you find the good stuff in here. What do you need?"

He leaves half an hour later with a bag of shirts, one sillier than the other. Though you'd have preferred if he left with your number. But hey, you can't have everything, right?

-

"Hello and welcome to XYZ, how can I help you today?"

Akaashi smiles, blush settling on the high of his cheekbones. He's wearing the "Setter" Shirt today.

"Forgot something last time," he starts, voice low.

"Oh yeah? Can I help you find it?"

"Mhm," he nods, "It's your number."
