It had become routine for you to attend UNDEAD practices, sitting off to the side to watch as running over choreography usually turned into a fight (started by Koga). Despite how loud things usually got, it was nice to watch all the familiar banter between the four- Rei chuckling fondly at Koga’s antics, Adonis’s blank and confused stare whenever he messed up a certain piece of choreography, and Kaoru constantly reminding koga that ‘this is why he’s never had a girlfriend!’ But.. you couldn’t help the odd feeling hovering around you whenever Rei forced everybody into a group hug at the end of practice.
The moment practice was over, Kaoru was next to you with a smile on his face, tugging his jacket over his shoulders and turning to you, offering out a hand to leave.
It was like this almost every day- so you couldn’t understand just why you were so hesitant to take his hand, and it was almost like you couldn’t move. You wanted to, that was for sure- the idea of holding hands with Kaoru made you really happy, but it was like something was stopping you from reaching out and placing your hand in his.
Kaoru glanced at you after a moment of waiting, eyes tainted with worry. “Hey, you alright? You don’t have to take my hand if you don’t want to.”
“I-.. I do to-” You huffed. “I just….”
Kaoru grinned, and you momentarily short circuited, blinking at him. He grabbed your wrist, gently so it wouldn’t hurt and tugged at you ever so slightly to follow him out into the hall. You obliged without so much as a second thought, reveling in how warm his hand was even just on your sleeve. Once he had you in the hall and away from Rei, who would never leave him alone if he saw, Kaoru stared at you for a moment before finally opening his mouth to speak. “Can I hug you?”
Your brain was so far behind you in the moment, but as if on instinct, you nodded, and the feeling of him hugging you was so… warm. The way his arms fit around your waist perfectly like they were meant to be there, the way you could tell he was smiling- It all just made you wonder what took you so long to hug him when it was this nice.
“It’s okay to wanna be close every once and a while, 'kay~?”
