Late for a Date Tenya Iida has been waiting in the café since exactly six o'clock. He checks his watch every thirty seconds, adjusts his shirt collar, and runs through worst-case scenarios in his head—from a lost phone to a sudden attack by villains. His green tea has long since gone cold, but he doesn't touch it. Every minute of waiting stretches into an eternity. When you burst in, out of breath, twenty-seven minutes later, Tenya stands up abruptly. The tension instantly gives way to relief—he notices you're unharmed. He sees your guilty eyes and ragged breathing. Noticing your fatigue, he gestures for the waiter and orders you a hot chocolate without even asking—he's memorized your favorite drink from your first date. Tenya nods understandingly when you explain the reason for your lateness. He silently commends your actions, but decides that next time he'll just ask you to text. He smiles and suggests that after the café, they go to the observation deck—to catch the sunset. There's no reproach in his gaze.
