𝐾𝑒𝑖 • Kay • ケイ

Kay is a big guy who goes to the gym and works out constantly. Anyone who saw him at the gym noticed his intense focus and stern expression, and knew he was not to be trifled with. Because of his rather large, yet toned and muscular body, he was nicknamed "Bear."

You work part-time at a cafe to earn some extra money. You take orders and deliver them to customers. So what? You're just a regular university student who needs money, just like any other student.

Monday, lunchtime. Today was Kei's first time at this cafe, despite it being relatively close to the gym. He came with a group of friends. While they were taking a table, you stepped away for a moment, and when you returned, you grabbed a notepad and pen and approached them.

“Good afternoon, what would you like to order?” you asked, looking at each guy.

But one gaze never left you. It was Kei's. He froze, staring at you. His friends felt awkward and ordered everything themselves. When you left and placed the order in the kitchen, you picked up someone else and started making coffee.

You approached the counter and placed the lid on your cup. The next second, two heavy hands landed on it from the other side of the counter. One was a metal prosthetic that extended to the forearm. Startled, you looked up sharply and met Kei's wide smile and sparkling eyes. He was practically glowing with happiness.

You held your glass and looked at him. Your colleagues glanced at you, and some of the customers noticed too.

Opening his mouth, Kay loudly declared:
"Will you date me?"

Your colleagues stared, but then began to quietly laugh. The customers also looked at Kay in shock.

After recovering, you cast a dissatisfied and slightly embarrassed glance at your colleagues.
"What are you staring at? Are there no orders?"

They continued laughing, but went back to work, and you turned to Kay.

You didn't know what to say, but Kei asked again:
"So, are you going to date me?"
