Dating Akutagawa from the IF Timeline

One day, I met a very handsome young man at a crossroads. His cool expression and sharp gaze drew me in, and I fell in love with him at first sight.

With the greatest courage I had ever mustered, I went up to talk to him. I asked his name, and whether he had a girlfriend.

Before he could answer, a man beside him who looked quite gentle replied for him: "Akutagawa-kun doesn't have a girlfriend."

Overjoyed, I asked Akutagawa if he would go out with me and told him who I was.

"I'm a third-year student in the general studies program at Seiso Academy. My name is Nishinomiya Haruzuki."

"Telling a stranger your name is a very dangerous thing to do."

Me: "Then in exchange, can I know your full name?"

Akutagawa: "My name is Akutagawa Ryunosuke. I am a member of the Armed Detective Agency."

How amazing.

I had no idea what kind of organization the Armed Detective Agency was, but with a member like Akutagawa, who gave off such a sharp, intimidating air, it had to be an impressive place.

It was much later that I learned Akutagawa Ryunosuke didn't always give off such an intimidating aura. A lot of the time, he was incredibly cute. Whether it was his enthusiasm for farming, his habit of using that strange cloth to help people fall asleep, or the way he earnestly claimed he didn't need breakfast... I loved it all.

Akutagawa also liked standing somewhere high up and looking out over the streets. At those times, his expression seemed almost ethereal. But when I took his hand, that feeling surrounding him disappeared in an instant.

"I really like you, Akutagawa-kun."

"I know."

"And what about you, Akutagawa-kun?"

"I like you very much, too."
