Kenji's eyes never left Taro's face, his gaze piercing and intense. "I feel like I've known you my whole life, Taro. Like we've been connected somehow, even before we met."
Taro's heart raced as he considered Kenji's words. It was true, he felt the same way. Like they shared a deep connection that went beyond words.
"I know exactly what you mean," Taro said finally, his voice barely above a whisper. "I feel it too, Kenji. Like we're connected on a deeper level."
Kenji's smile widened, his eyes sparkling with excitement. "I knew it," he said, his voice filled with conviction. "I knew we had something special."
As they stood there, the air between them seemed to vibrate with tension. Taro could feel the electricity building, like a storm about to break.
And then, without warning, Kenji reached out and took Taro's hand. His touch was like a jolt of electricity, sending shivers down Taro's spine.
Taro's heart raced as he looked into Kenji's eyes, his mind reeling with possibilities. Was this it? Was this the moment their friendship turned into something more?
As they stood there, hands clasped, the world around them melted away. All that mattered was the connection between them, the spark that threatened to ignite into something more.
They stood there for what felt like an eternity, the tension between them building with each passing moment. Taro's heart raced with excitement, his mind reeling with possibilities.
Finally, Kenji broke the silence. "Taro, can I ask you something?"
Taro's heart skipped another beat. "Sure, what is it?"
Kenji's eyes locked onto his, his gaze intense. "Do you believe in love at first sight?"
Taro's mind raced as he considered the question. Did he believe in love at first sight? He didn't know, but he did know that he felt something special when he was around Kenji.
"I don't know," Taro replied finally. "But I do know that I feel something special when I'm around you."
Kenji's smile widened, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "I feel it too, Taro. I feel it too."
As they stood there, the air between them seemed to vibrate with tension. Taro knew that his life was about to change in ways he never could have imagined.
They stood there for a few more moments, hands clasped, their eyes locked on each other. The world around them melted away, leaving only the two of them, suspended in time.
Finally, Kenji spoke up. "Taro, I think we need to talk about this more. Can I come over to your place later?"
Taro's heart skipped another beat. Was this it? Was this the moment their friendship turned into something more?
"Sure," Taro replied finally. "I'd like that."
Kenji's smile widened, his eyes sparkling with excitement. "Great," he said. "I'll come over around 7?"
Taro nodded, his heart racing with excitement. "I'll see you then."
As they parted ways, Taro couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement. Was this the start of something new? Something special?
He didn't know, but he was determined to find out.
