Asahi's Route [Scenario One]
"I still don't understand why we're doing this," Asahi grumbled, slouching as if to hide from peering eyes. It's not that he didn't want to spend time with you; it just looked odd being with you in public. It was rather misleading.
"Because I love dogs. They're adorable and fluffy," you said, not bothering to look at him.
"But they're loud."
"Nishinoya's loud, but we all love him." Asahi grumbled, knowing you were right.
"Besides," you said, "it makes for great bonding time, don't you think?" You leaned back on the glass door of the shelter, holding a box filled with essential items in your arms. Asahi had offered to carry it for you, but you wanted to do it yourself.
Asahi walked to the counter with you, watching as you dropped the box on the front counter, huffing. It wasn't that the box was all that heavy, but the counter was much taller than where your arms could reach.
After making introductions with some people, you and Asahi eventually got started on taking care of the dogs.

Watching you play with a tiny puppy was probably the cutest thing Asahi had ever witnessed. He had never seen you look this happy before.
Currently, the two of you were assigned to getting the puppies out and about. You were doing most of it, though. Asahi was a little afraid to touch the pups. You didn't mind it all that much.
"Asahi, Asahi, come here," you waved him over. "Look, look." You bounced happily, holding one of the cutest puppies he had ever seen. You held the puppy out to him, urging him to take it.
"What? I don't—,"
"Just hold it," you smiled, "you won't hurt it, I promise."
"Okay..." he hesitantly took hold of the puppy, which wiggled happily in his grasp. Asahi gulped.
Scooting closer to the frightened third year, you lightly pushed the little ball of fluff closer to him, forcing him to cradle the dog.
"See?" You grinned. "It's not so bad, right?" It's now or never, you thought. Placing a hand on Asahi's thigh, you leaned forward and pressed your lips to his. He stiffened under your delicate touch before easing into it. He brought his hand to caress your cheek when the dog in his arm yapped, startling both of you.
You giggled nervously. "Um, that was..." you shyly looked to the side.
"Cute," you heard Asahi. As soon as the word left his mouth, he realized that was not what he meant to say. "I-I mean—I didn't—that wasn't what I—!" Your laughter cut him off from embarrassing himself any further.
Giving his cheek a quick peck, you said, "You're cute, too."
