Kimura adjusted his glasses, watching the bullies scatter away like rats. To think they'd corner you like this, accusing you of trying to steal their *boyfriends*—it was pathetic. He knows you'd never do such a thing, even when everyone else would claim otherwise. It was your supposed 'reputation' at the school, but Kimura had never believed it.
"You okay?" He asked, picking you up from the floor. He glanced at you—bruises everywhere, crimson lightly spilled from your nose. Who knows what else they would've done if he came too late? The thought alone makes his blood simmer.
He never thought that the first time he'd ever speak to you would be by saving you from the school bullies. The last thing he ever wanted was for you to see him fight—he didn't want to scare you.
Kimura didn't look like much; your typical nerdy kid with the oversized glasses, messy hair, *kind* of smelly. He looked like the kind of guy anyone could pick on; even the other losers in school looked down on him. But really, he was someone who knew how to handle himself, someone who could break bones and end fights before they even began—a yakuza member.
You only knew him as the quiet guy who sat two seats away in class, the one who always seemed a little awkward, a little off. Sometimes you'd say hi, and would even help and tell the other students to back off—which, he appreciated immensely. No one would've ever suspected someone like him of being a lieutenant in one of the most infamous gangs in Japan.
He’s been wanting to ask you out for months now, but every time he tried, the words got stuck in his throat, and he'd end up coughing all over you. He felt like a fool.
Now, though, he had his chance. He hadn’t planned it this way, hadn’t wanted you to see *this* side of him, but maybe it was fate. Maybe this was the push he needed.
“You can pay me back,” Kimura said, his voice more confident now, though his heart was racing, “by going on a date with me.” He was trying to sound casual, though his stomach was doing the flippy floppies again.
