Chapter Text
Today was finally the day you and Asahi were going on your ever dreamed for picnic date. The two of you had been planning this for ages, and whenever one of you was free, the other could not get out of what they had to do that day. It was a continuous cycle of having to push the date to a week later, even multiple weeks later.
But today? Today you had the day off work and Asahi had finished up his work day early, leaving the entire day for a picnic. When Asahi had called you on his way home, you couldn’t help but stop everything you were previously doing to prepare.
You’d gotten dressed in clothes suited for a picnic, cute enough for the aesthetic of it all, but comfortable enough to be sitting on the ground for a long period of time. After one twirl in your mirror and deciding that you liked it well enough, you searched the small closet in your hallway for the picnic basket Asahi bought online when the two of you originally planned this whole thing.
You quickly washed the dishes that were inside the basket before packing Asahi’s favorite snacks inside and starting on making sandwiches. You were double checking everything when the key was turning in your lock, Asahi using his key to your apartment to get in.
Strong arms wrapped around your waist as you reached into your refrigerator for the bottles of iced tea. A smile spread on your face, turning around in his arms as you shut the door. He smiles down at you as you clutch his face in your one free hand and plant a quick kiss on his lips.
“Hello handsome.” You greet as he lets you go. Asahi peeks inside the basket for a second before you shoo him off to pack the drinks and close it up.
“You look beautiful.” Asahi compliments, eyes drifting over your outfit. You pose for him, showing him all the angles of your fit.
When your impromptu fashion show was over, you wrapped your arms around his waist and looked up into his eyes. “I’m so glad we’re finally able to do this.” You say quietly. Asahi agrees, while planting his lips on your forehead.
“Let’s hurry up and get out of here so we can finally have our picnic!”

The semi secluded park was a lot more beautiful than you imagined it would be. Obviously you saw photos of it online, but seeing it in person blew you away.
“Asahi, it’s beautiful!” You say in awe, looking at the expanse of area while Asahi set up the blanket and set out the food.
“Isn’t it?” He responds, handing you the dishes as you sit in front of him. The food is separated between the two of you and conversation flows easily as it usually does.
While you did see Asahi very frequently, since time had gotten away from you both from being so busy all the time, you were glad to be able to catch up on things without distraction or having a metaphorical time limit on your time together.
Time seemed to pass quickly, subjects in conversations going from one thing to the next in a constant stream. As you and Asahi laid together on the blanket, you thought about how refreshing it was to have time away from your apartment, and being in the city in general.
Your hand rested on Asahi’s cheek with your thumb stroking softly against his cheek bone as you listened to him tell you about an altercation between two coworkers of his and how it’d freaked him out a little.
When he’d finished his story, you both laid in a comfortable quiet, the only sounds being heard was the soft wind blowing and birds in the distance. You haven’t been at peace like this in such a long time.
“I love you.” Asahi breaks the silence, turning his face slightly to place a soft kiss on the hand on his face.
“Oh, I love you more.” You declare, leaning closer to give him a real kiss while Asahi lets out a small laugh. “Thank you for taking me out here today, my love.”
“You know I’d give you the world if you asked for it.” Asahi reminds you.
You didn’t need to ask for the world, when it was already right in front of you.
