|Sherwin's POV|

Jonathan and I keep sitting like that for a while longer. It's peaceful and quiet. We don't say anything and just enjoy eatch others company. I'm still blushing, Jonathan is sitting so close to me. I'm also a bit surprised he even came to me, what if he gets teased because of me now. The other kids looked so disgusted when they saw us. I start feeling a little insecure again and frown. Jonathan must have noticed since he places his hand on my shoulder and says.
"It's alright, don't worry about others. It doesn't matter what they think.
How can he be so nice to me, I don't deserve him. He then turns to my and looks a bit more serious. Is that a light blush on his cheeks? No way, I must be seeing things.
"Sherwin...umm, that thing... it was your heart right. And it was coming after me. Does that mean...you like me?"
I open and close my mouth a few times. Not sure what to say. I must look like a total tomato right now.. Am I really going to say it, right now?
"I-I umm, I e-ehh."
Dang it. I can't even speak properly. My hands are shaking now. He's still looking at me, waiting for an answer. I can't say it. It's so embarrassing. I cover my face with my hands and form into a small ball. I nod my head. There's a few seconds of silence before I feel Jonathan gently pulling my hands away from my face. He has a goofy smile on his face a hint of blush.
"Would you perhaps like to go somewhere, after school maybe? Just us."
Is he asking me out? Oh my god. I swear if this is a dream I'll give up on life. I nod.
"Y-yes."
He stands up and hold out a hand for me. I accept, letting him help me up as well.
"Wonderful, let's meet here again after school. But for now we should probably hurry back, we alredy missed one class."
He then start walking towards the school again, gesturing for me to hurry as well.
The corridors are quite now, thank god no one is here anymore. I would die from embarrassment. Jonathan walks with me to my class and then heads off to find his own. I wave at him until he dissappears behind a wall and then enter my classroom. The rest of the day I once again can't think of anything else but Jonathan. Was he really asking me out on a date back then? To be honest I'm happy no matter what. As long as he doesn't hate me I'm happy.

|Jonathan's POV|

Sitting behind my table I stare at my note book. As much as I hate to admit it I'm actually very nervous. I've never liked another guy before. But Sherwin, he's just so sweet and adorable. How could anyone not like him. I know it's only been few days but now that I know that he truly likes me why not go out somewhere right. I try to think of a nice place where too take him. Somewhere quiet, where there isn't too many people. A book cafe perhaps. Not many people go there and those who do are usually pretty quiet. It's also Friday so there is no need to worry about tomorrow and we can spend as much time together as we want. I didn't even realize I was daydreaming for that long when the school bell rings. Only few more hours and I can see Sherwin again.

-time skip-

I'm leaning against the same tree now where me and Sherwin were sitting before. He's not here yet, making me a bit worried. I hope none of those mean kids are bothering him. Few more minutes pass before I hear footsteps coming closer. It's Sherwin. The ginger boy is sheepishly waving at me with a small smile and a blush on his face. How adorable.
"H-hi, sorry I'm late."
I shake my head.
"It's fine, don't worry about it."
We then start walking towards the book cafe. Sherwin looks at me, with a curious expression.
"Where are we going?"
I chuckle
"It's a surprise, trust me you will like it."
He blushes again, making my heart melt.
I reach out for his hand, hesitating a bit. Sherwin looks flustered but takes my hand. I don't personally care if someone sees me holing hands with another guy but I just hope Sherwin won't feel uncomfortable. Luckily he looks quite happy. I want to make him even happier.
As we reach the entrance of the book cafe I open the door for him. Sherwin like the little awkward goofball he is immediately looks lost when he steps inside. I help him by guiding us to one of the tables, placed in the corner of the room with a small window next to it showing us the beautiful garden. A nice looking lady approaches our table soon after we sit down and hands us the menu. Sherwin looks so amazed by everything. Has he not been here before? It seems like this place was a good pick after all. We bouth then open the menu and look for something nice to eat. This place mostly has cakes and other sweet things with drinks to go with it, so no big meals. I pick a pistachio cake with buttercream frosting and a cup of green tea. Sherwin at the other hand seems to be stuck with too many options. I giggle at his cute small frown as he is trying to make a life's most important decision. What cake to pick. He soon picks out a kiwi cheesecake with a glass of apple juice. ( I need cake now help) We order our things and start enjoying the evening. Sherwin looks so adorable munching on his cake. He must really like sweets because that cake is disappearing quickly. He then looks at me.
"This place is nice. T-thank you for bringing me here."
I'm glad he's now talking with me more openly. There still must be so many more things I still don't know about. But now we finally have enough time to talk about anything we wish. Sherwin tells me about his hobbies, and his dog who always comes to greet him when he gets back home. His favorite things to do when alone or with friends and his weird neighbor who sometimes plays the tuba four o'clock in the morning. (dats my actual frikin neighbor) I keep listening and listening to all of those wonderful stories. And share some of my best stories with him as well. After about an hour we are bouth giggling and joking around. Sherwin's still a bit flustered at times but mostly he is now pretty talkative.
"I'm glad you're enjoying this, would you like to go to the local amusement park next?"
Sherwin's eyes lit up.
"Yes! It's been so long since I went there last time."
I stand up from the table and pay for the pill.
"Let's get going then. Hopefully the weather will stay as nice as it's been until now."
