When He Ask You Out
The day he came into the coffee shop where you worked, he's made it a thing where he'll come in every morning to get some coffee. And, the minute your shift ends, he waits outside to walk you home. Which you didn't mind since you liked being around him, and you felt safe around him.
He's been doing this now for almost a week, and at first, the walk back home with him was kind of awkward. But it seems like you both mustered up the courage to say more than just a couple of sentences to each other. Oh, and he did offer to drive you home, but you declined and told him that you prefer walking. Just because your work isn't that far from where you live.
Since the day he saved you, he's always on your mind. And seeing him every morning when he orders a coffee and him walking you home at night makes you feel ecstatic. This is definitely the first time you've felt this way about someone. But you don't know if he feels the same. But maybe he does. Why else would he want to walk you home?
You say goodbye to your co-worker before you walk right out the door. There, Oroku Saki stands nearby, his back facing you, with his phone up to his ear. Not wanting to interrupt him, you just wait by the door until he finishes.
.
???: We got the shipment this morning and everything's checked out. We just have one more problem.
Oroku Saki: What problem?
???: One of Saber's gangs has been acting out and causing attention. If we don't do something now, police will come sniffing around.
Oroku Saki: I need them to understand the consequences of failing me. You and Saber need to go there and send them a message.
???: Yes, master.
.
You don't know who he's talking to, but judging by the dark tone in his voice. It makes you think it must be serious.
Sensing your presence nearby, he ends his call and puts his phone in his pocket. The tone is his voice shifts from serious to calm when he faces you.
.
Oroku Saki: How long have you been standing there?
Y/n: For about a minute.
.
He doesn't say anything, since he's not sure how much of that you heard. He just turns around and signals you with his hand to follow him. You don't question him about the conversation he just had, and you follow right beside him.
There's an awkward silence between you two. Cars pass by and the sounds of your footsteps are the only sounds you hear. You wish you could tell him how you feel about him, but the idea of getting rejected is what's stopping you.
You glance over at him, seeing him focus on the path ahead. Sensing your stare, he looks at you. In response, your face heats up and you quickly look away from his stare. Oh how it's been so long since he's felt this way. He has his gift for you in his pocket right now and he can't wait to give it to you. No time later, you finally arrive in front of your apartment building.
.
Y/n: Thanks for walking me home. I'll see you in the morning?
Oroku Saki: You will. But here.
.
He reaches into his suit pocket and takes out a small dark blue jewelry box. When he opens the little box, you see a gold bracelet with a solid gold heart charm in the middle.
.
Y/n: Aw, you didn't have to.
.
He smiles as he takes out the bracelet of the box and takes your hand. Wrapping the bracelet around your wrist, he closes the clasp. With your heart pounding and a bright smile on your face, you look into his eyes and see him staring back at you. Still holding your hand, he asks you.
.
Oroku Saki: Would you like to come with me to dinner tomorrow night?
Y/n: Yes! I mean, yes. I would very much like to go out with you.
.
He brings your hand to his lips and kisses it. He tells you the time he'll pick up before he lets go of your hand.
The moment you walk into your apartment, you scream internally with joy. Hopping into the shower, you sing and dance to yourself without a single fuck in the world while the bracelet Oroku Saki gave you is close by.
You've never been this excited and happy about going on a date before. Yeah, you've been on a few dates, but none of them has ever made you feel this way. And the date isn't until tomorrow!
