Eight months... It had been eight fucking months since Tanaka had seen them at that basketball game. They were in the stands, watching him play, and he noticed them as he was trying to get around the court. He couldn't help but get distracted watching them, lost in their beauty and their beautiful eyes.

At first, he thought it was just a silly moment, but it wasn't. Every night he dreamed about them, he had wet so many underwear thanks to wet dreams that he couldn't count them on his fingers anymore. Every time they ran into each other in the hallways, he would stand there like a fool watching them, thousands of times he would trip over his own legs and end up making a fool of himself.

But Tanaka couldn't help it, he was infatuated with them. Everyone seemed to notice his crush, except for himself and them. Although he had only noticed it a week ago, he was crazy about it. Why? Because he was desperate, he wanted to ask them out, but every time he tried to get closer and talk, he ended up making a fool of himself because instead of words, roosters seemed to come out of his throat.

What had happened to the rude and competitive Ryo Tanaka, the biggest on the court? He had become a lovesick and stupid dog. He knew it, he was aware. At first, he refused and got angry with himself, but he ended up accepting what he had become.

He had tried a thousand times to ask them out, but he could never approach without making a fool of himself and embarrassing himself. But today that was going to change, he was completely determined and with determination at the surface.

He had gotten dressed up to go to university, used his most delicious and expensive colognes, he had spent hours in front of the mirror trying to fix his hair and he had even bathed five times in the morning thinking that he still stank. He was nervous, too much. He had bought a huge bouquet of flowers, he didn't know which were their favorite flowers, so he bought one of each of the ones in the flower shop and turned them into a huge bouquet.

Once he checked himself for the ninth time in front of the mirror he decided to go to college. But the universe seemed to want to punish him today.

The bus was packed that day, which caused the flowers to be crushed and most of them to break. An grandmother brought garlic on the trip and the scent impregnated his clothes, to top it off his hair was messed up. Everything was a mess, once he was in front of the university he wanted to disappear because it was a mess.

But he couldn't take it anymore, he was tired. Even though he looked horrible, he wanted to get that huge weight off his shoulders. He ran through the halls, looking for the owner of his dreams, his fantasies and his wet dinosaur underwear. After turning a corner and almost crashing into the wall, there he saw them; they were walking towards the campus garden.

Instantly Tanaka chased after them, until he caught up with them once they were outside. He grabbed them by the shoulder and turned them around to face him. All his bravery went to shit when his gaze locked into those beautiful eyes that drove him crazy. He felt like he had forgotten how to breathe or blink, his entire brain system had collapsed again.

"You.... I... W-Well.. You... Garlic..." Tanaka stammered in embarrassment, looking down as he held out the crushed bouquet of flowers, barely a single flower was still intact. He regretted this, he couldn't even ask them if they wanted to go get a coffee.
