Title: First Date
Fandom: EXO
Character/pairings: Sehun, Kai , SeKai
Summary: Kim Jongin had pined over Oh Sehun for over a year. Oh Sehun was sick of it and took matters into his own hands.

He wasn't the type to get nervous, being a dancer usually meant his nerves would melt away as soon as the curtain went up. But here he was sat in an armchair surrounded by students buzzing about getting their afternoon fix of coffee. Calls of 'Next Please!' and 'Is that a large or a regular?' cut through the air above the low hum of conversation that was going on. What others found to be relaxing only served to make the dancer twitch more.

Yes, Kim Jongin was nervous. But then anyone would be when they were about to go on a first date with someone they had admired from afar for over a year.

He had had a crush on the pretty first year, Oh Sehun, and oh how he had pined for him. No matter how much his friends had tried to push him into asking the taller male out, he had declined each and every time. It had driven his friends mad.

It was only when the object of his affections had him cornered, during a break of one of their dance practices, that Jongin was told he was taking him on a date, for coffee, after practice and that they would be meeting at four o'clock. He must have looked like a deer in headlights for the other chuckled as the tanned male nodded his head in answer, and mumbled out an 'okay' before walking away numbly, excusing himself to go home and shower, completely forgetting about the rest of practice.

That was almost four hours ago.

Having returned home, he dazedly showered and changed his clothes about fourteen times. He eventually decided on the first 'shirt and jeans' combination he had tried on before running a hand through his hair and grabbing his keys, and wallet, as he left his dorm.

It was only once he had reached the coffee shop they had agreed upon, or where Sehun had told him to meet him actually, that he realised he was forty five minutes early. Kicking himself internally, he mentally cursed at his own stupidity. "Way to look over eager, Jongin." He thought to himself as he made his way to a two seated table in the back, by the fire.

Checking his watch again, Jongin's heart gave a lurch in his chest. Sehun should be here any minute now.

Sitting up in his seat, Jongin brushed out the creases in his shirt and made himself comfortable in the armchair just before the bell on the door chimed, notifying the occupants of the coffee shop of a new arrival. Turning his head, the dancer's breath caught in his throat as his and Sehun's eyes met.

He was stunning, even with the nervous glint in his eyes as he made his way over to the shorter male. Jongin gave Sehun a small shy smile before offering him the seat opposite him. “Hey,” he said simply in greeting.

"Hey," the blond replied before a rather awkward silence fell over them. It was such a pregnant pause that it caused Sehun to burst out laughing.

"What's so funny?" Jongin asked, the corners of his mouth turning down into a frown.

"I'm sorry, " the giggling young man replied, a smile etched across his face and his cheeks slightly pink, "I'm just incredibly nervous."

The admission made the tanned male blink before a huge relieved smile spread across his face. "I'm nervous too. I thought I was the only one." He admitted. "Coffee?"

"I would love one, thank you."

It was in that moment, as the smile spread across Sehun's face, that Jongin's nerves melted away and his own smile grew wider. “I'll be right back.”

“Don't keep me waiting.”

“Wouldn't dream of it.”
