Atobe Wants to Date Me

[Complete; bonus chapters are being updated.]

I, Taoyuan Lili, am a girl who draws manga and is always struggling to find inspiration.

Recently, I've fallen in love.

That's right, with the brash, cool, and cold-blooded Atobe Keigo.

I ponder: If I tell him now that I never meant to date him in the first place, will he sink me in Tokyo Bay?

Atobe: ...?

Short Scene 1

On Nozaki-senpai's advice, I start a daily quest to "find inspiration."

I look for inspiration in trees, in flower beds, in the music room...

And I keep running into Atobe, who somehow appears in all sorts of places in all sorts of strange poses: …

What is this, one of the Seven Wonders of the School? (cold laugh)

Me: ? What the heck?

Short Scene 2

Atobe clears his throat: Speaking of character inspiration, I think I'm actually...

Me: ?

Me: I don't care what you think. I decide what I think!

Atobe: ...Heh.

Short Scene 3

Atobe grits his teeth: Lili! Are you dating me just so you can draw manga?!

Me: Yeah.

Calmly handing him a pen: Keigo, help me fill this in with black.

Atobe: … (takes the pen with a sour expression)

#From the start, the heroine is in her second year of middle school, but the timeline is a mystery

#Mostly slice of life; I'm not good at plotting

#First-person, childish romance

#Pairing: Atobe

#Apologies for any out-of-character moments

#No breaking up canon couples

Highlight: Atobe falls in love at first sight; their levels of commitment are unequal at first
