"Please, love me, too."
...Woah.
My cheeks flushed to reddest they could.
I-I mean, duh, right? He l-loves me. I knew that, but, hearing it so directly and sincerely and desperately, of course I'm shaken!
"Ryuu..." Caught up in the moment, I started lifting my hand to touch his cheek. "I—"
Then, the bell rang, bringing me back to my senses.
AH! What was I about to say!?
I immediately brought my hand back to my side.
"W-We're late." I stated the obvious as I awkwardly looked away.
"Mm." Ryuu nodded as he interlaced our fingers together.
I bit my lip.
"W-We need to go to class." I tried again and placed my other hand on the door handle. "So—"
"Haruka." Ryuu simply called out my name, but my resolution to escape crumbled, not that it was that strong in the first place.
No! Stay strong!
I took a breath before facing Ryuu to end this.
...And was greeted by another kiss.
Sorry disappearing! I just really struggled with this chapter and had to rewrite after trying to edit the original version. Sigh. (I’m a little worried the same thing is about to happen next chapter. ;-;)
Besides that, I’ve start school again, so expect sporadic updates again. ^^;
Thanks for reading and the 1 million views! Wowie wow!
I also ask for your patience and understanding with updates, hehe...
