You walk to the mall, not really paying attention to your surroundings as you dream about a new pair of boots [or, if you're not that type of person, books or something.] Suddenly you trip over one of those annoying cracks on the pavements. Then there is a flash of bright red and you are caught by a rather handsome-looking young with the most gorgeous green eyes.
"Heh. Make sure you look where you're going next time, huh?" He says, as you detach yourself from his arms.
"T-thanks," you stammer, blushing.
"Can I trust you to not fall into any other cracks in the pavement without me?"
What? It sounds like he's... FLIRTING?!
Suddenly you realise he isn't trying to flirt with you, but actually trying to be nice.
"Yeah, thanks..."
He smiled before he steps away and you feel your face getting very flushed. Then he looks back as if to check you haven't fallen over again and... you trip over again.
Once again he rushes to your aid and picks you straight up.
"Shall I escort you to your destination?"
"Ha... ha. Um..." you smile.
"What's your name, by the way?"
"Oh! I'm [insert name here]! Yours?"
"I'm [Hiroto/Xavier(choose preferred English/Japanese name)].
Hiroto escorts you to the mall, as promised, and waits patiently as you search for [your desired item here].
When you step out of the shop he smiles, his face a little red.
"Hiroto? Are you OK?"
"Ah... um..." he looks at you in the eyes. "I was, er, wondering, if you, er, would, uh..." he holds out some tickets. "Come with me to the fireworks show next week?"
He blushes harder and you realise you're blushing too. "My sister wanted to come with me... and then she realised she was too busy... it's a really nice show, I've been there every year. It marks the new year, and I always go with someone..." he's now stammering, and his face is almost as red as his hair.184Please respect copyright.PENANAsmPzqbPft1
"Yes! OK!" You say to stop him from going any redder.
He smiles, and you can't stop yourself from smiling back.

You stare up at the dark sky, then to your side, where Hiroto sits next to you on the grassy bank. You realise that his eyes look just like emeralds sparkling in the night and look away to stop yourself blushing.
Suddenly, there is a loud BANG and you look up. Illuminating the night sky are millions of sparkling, glittering, multicolored fireworks. You stare in awe, almost not realising Hiroto's hand is slipping into yours.
You start to blush again, but when you turn around you feel Hiroto thrust himself forward and kissing you.
At first you are surprised; but then you realise how good it feels, and you kiss him back.
