THE DRESS MINA PICKED out wasn't long, just above the knees with a trim of lace that made it feel airy and light. The dress was adorned with roses in yellow and baby blue, a corset bust with thick straps holding it up; you felt pretty, something you didn't really expect to feel. But it was true, you felt pretty.
As you stood in front of Denki's door, flattening your dress down and nervously fidgeting with the ring on your finger, you could hear a small commotion on the other side of the door, light footsteps frantically running about. You softly giggled to yourself as you pictured the boy scurrying around, the aroma of something slightly burnt emitting from beneath the door.
You took a deep breath and finally knocked on the door and patiently waited. Then there was a frantic squeal and the pitter patter of feet across tile.
The front door opened quickly, letting a gust of wind splash your face
The man you knew as your (cute) noisy neighbor spotted a button down and white dress pants, hair somewhat messy while his cheeks glowed a soft pink. You smiled, not really knowing what to say other than a quick "hi."
Denki smiled back, brain a little fried as he tried to comprehend what was happening right now. He had spent the last two hours slaving away in the kitchen, arguing with his rice cooker (he couldn't figure out why it wasn't turning on, it was unplugged), only to realize that he didn't need rice and he made it for nothing. Then he had sliced his finger while cutting vegetables, he then accidentally ran it under piping hot water. Admittedly, he cried a little bit.
Honestly, he didn't know why he volunteered himself to make dinner for the two of you; he just silently prayed it tasted good.
"Hi, neighbor," Denki immediately cringed to himself, clearing his throat before opening the door wider, "Come in, come in."
"Sorry, I didn't quite know what to wear..." you were glad you had worn a dress. Your eyes were on Denki's outfit which was surprisingly really well put together. It almost made you do a double take until you realize that the man was watching you too, a cute, almost confused smile on his face.
"No, stop, you look fine," Denki held his tongue just as a really raging, intense, kind of insane compliment was about to slip out. Had it not been for his common sense, he would've said some things that would definitely had freaked you out enough to go home.
"Ah, thank you."
Silence. You could hear the click of the oven, then the familiar tapping of the water faucet not being fully turned off. Your eyes wandered around his apartment, lingering on the couch that was neatly made, an array of what looked to be albums aligned along his wall, propped against the bare white space just below the TV. Then your eyes fell to his kitchen, a bit of a mess in the sink that made you softly smile, Denki worked through the place chaotically, yet with charm. His bright blond hair bouncing with every messy step he took.
The man worked through the kitchen, soon turning around with two big plates of what looked like some kind of cheese and tomato dish. He placed them down on the neat table, brilliant eyes of gold flashing up to meet your curious ones.
"Ta da." He said shyly, presenting the plates with his hands, coyly smiling beneath his hair. "It took me like 2 hours to finish this... I hope it tastes good."
He helped you sit, but not before knocking over a glass of water, watching as it spilled onto the tiled floor with a splash that landed on the pair of new kitten heels you just bought.
He cleaned it up and apologized profusely, sitting across from you on the table. The soft snapping of the candlelight fire illuminating the walls and your silverware. There was a sense of unease in the air, and no matter how hard you tried, the awkwardness was burning over the two of you like hot coals.
You cleared your throat and sighed. This is gonna be a long night.
