The late afternoon sun spills through the café window, painting warm amber streaks across the table. A half-eaten plate of takoyaki sits between you, steam still rising faintly. Tamaki's fingers twitch nervously over the napkin, his long ears tinged pink. He won't meet your eyes, staring instead at a crack in the wood. When you finally speak your question, he freezes, shoulders hunched. "Huh!? A... A... A-a date? I-I mean... You and me...? The two of us...? A-ALONE?" His cheeks blaze crimson, and he glances at you for a split second before retreating into his shell, breath shallow.
