You had been in Morioh, your new town, for quite some time. During that time, you began to make new and interesting friends like Koichi, Okuyasu.. and one of them included Josuke. He is your best friend now. You two are very close and that's probably his fault. He has always given you affection, like hugs and even rare kisses on the cheek, with your consent, of course. He would rather die than make anyone uncomfortable.

You've rejected affection for years and years, now you have it, and... damn it, it's kind of weird... One beautiful afternoon, you two were studying for a test that would take place the next day, both of you sitting and quietly looking at the book that was on the table. But this silence did not last long.

"... You're pretty, you know?"

Josuke suddenly said, he looked at you lovingly and his usual silly smile on his lips. His jaw rested on the palm of his hand. You really don't know how to respond.

"You're pretty too."

You said calmly. Can you say that? Don't have a clue. And he chuckled in amusement, noticing and knowing it.
