He looked at her flabbergasted as she just turned her head avoiding his eyes. “Wait what?” He muttered as she pouted. Huffing as she crossed her arms over her chest.“Why are you looking at me like that” she turned to glare at him, her eyebrows scrunching down as a blush dusted her cheeks from embarrassment. Amane gulped as he sat up and gave her a doubtful glance.“Oh idk Yashiro, maybe it’s cause my best friend of a few years just admitted she had some sort of attraction to me at some point!” He muttered as he tried to not let any excitement that her words had on him slip from his voice. She rolled her eyes as she adjusted herself to sit up with her back straight, leaning against the wall.“That still doesn’t explain that look!” She commented as she pointed an accusing finger at him. Him holding his hands up as if he was surrendering. “Well what do you want me to do? Look at you with hatred? Love? Like gimme something to work with before you maul me!”She felt her blood boil as she glared at him. Why was she so agitated with his reaction? Maybe cause it took her a LOT of courage to practically admit her attraction to him. Because yes, there was a point she fell for him. What she never mentioned though was the fact it was still going on.“Well what am I supposed to get from you looking at me like you’ve seen a ghost?! It confuses me! Should I be worried?!” She asked as she glanced away. Amane raising a brow as he lowered his hands. “Why should you be worried?”She huffed as she scrunched up the skirt of her uniform in her hands. “Because what if you hate me?! What if you’re playing it off and I made things awkward between us?!” She felt her head spinning. Everything was so confusing to her. Even he was confusing!He sighed as he leaned on the wall behind him, glancing at her as he hummed in thought. “Yashiro, why would I hate you?”She huffed. “You keep avoiding answering me!” She accused him as she turned her head. He gave her a bored look trying not to just listen to his head’s urge to kiss her. “Now you’re avoiding my question”She frowned at him. “You did it first! You can’t do that!” He chuckled. “Why not?”She balled her fists up. “There you go again! Why are you like this Amane?! He shook his head sighing. “Fine, I am sorry. But you legit took me by surprise. Who could expect their cute best friend to say they had a crush on them?” He muttered as he scooted over to her. She eyed him warily. What does he mean by cute?“I didn’t expect you to be prepared for this but what this makes you feel like is what I can’t tell from that expression you gave me!” He glanced away as he pondered what to say, her gaze looking at his face, expecting, hoping? Anything other than feeling the fear that was burning her face, it becoming slowly more and more red as she was ready to bolt at the first sign he hated her.Tears stinging her eyes as she fought off her pounding heart that beat in her ears.It was too much for her to handle how anxious this made her. She didn’t want to consider that she ruined her friendship with him because she had to let her stupid heart fall for his stupid dorky face.He looked back at her with a small smile as it slowly disappeared as he looked into her eyes. “Are you crying?” She frowned as she wiped at her eyes with her hand. “No….I am not” He frowned as he gently took her hands into his, intertwining their fingers as he eyed them.Both of them feeling their breath catch in their throat. The room going quiet as the only sound being a soft hum from a fan.“If it reassures you, I don’t hate you. To be honest, I could never hate you” He looked up, gulping as her wide eyes stared at him. He didn’t know what was going on her head now, served him right for doing the same thing to her he guessed.He sighed as looked back down at their hands, his thumb rubbing at the back of her hand. “If you want my honest answer, there was a time I felt attraction towards you as well. So it surprised me that you had a crush on me, especially when you made it clear I was not your type”Her heart stung with guilt. She did make it clear she would never like him, only for to undoubtedly fall for him.Even his words repeated in her head. Making her jumble through a whole lot of emotions.Surprise he liked her, hopeful he still did, guilt for unknowingly rejecting him, sadness that she may have missed her chance, fear she was going to be rejected unknowingly from him now, and surprisingly, some calm for finally being able to tell him instead of letting her feelings turn into a gooey issue of nightmares for herself.“To be honest….” He took a deep breath. “I am really happy you told me this” He chuckled as a soft smile fell on his lips.Yashiro inched closer as he looked up at her. “Do you still feel that way?” He raised a questioning brow. “Do I still like you?”She nodded as he felt his heart rate pick up once more.Was there a chance she still liked him? Was this the chance he finally could have to tell her? Was he finally able to have the girl of his dreams?He smiled at her. “How would you react if I said yes?” She went quiet as everything went quiet once more.Taking the plunge to push her lips softly onto his. Surprising them both.He blinked as he slowly kissed her back. Pulling back as she avoided his gaze like it was the plague.“I’ll take that as a yes” He said as he smiled at her. She gulped and nodded.They both had the kiss they wanted, they both told each other how they feel, and they both had known how the other feels.It wasn’t so romantic as Yashiro may have wanted and Amane wasn’t as prepared as he may have wanted. But they both wouldn’t change it. They were just glad they finally could stop worrying about how they would do it.They both could be content with how it went, because at least they finally could be together.
