Causally, as friends of course, you hang out together. Normal, and nothing out of the usual. You two had spent the whole day together, it’s beginning to get late. So at a nice and calm field; the two of you decided to stargaze. Of course Satoru didn’t want to oppose the idea, any moment shared with you was his favorite.
Naturally, he’s had a crush on you since basically the first time he’s laid eyes on you. He has yet to admit these rather, silly feelings to you. Though he tries and attempts to, but you take it as a joke cause well, it’s Satoru, and he’s much too unserious.
Oh but he tries everyday to find some clever lines to say to make the meaning come true. Sure it might just a line to you, but to him it’s true and it has never seemed so right before.

Back to the field you two are at. It’s nice and quiet, the setting is just perfect. You two are sitting side by side, cherishing the comfortable silence. Some moments like these out of the usual hectic schedules and missions are much needed.
It was too perfect, the evening gets late and he’s alone with you. The time is right your perfume fills his head, the stars get red and oh the night’s so blue. The words that came from his mouth next were ones he didn’t expect.
Cause he knew he went and spoiled it all by saying something stupid like, “I love you.” Immediately he bit his tongue and silently cursed himself for saying those words.
“I didn’t mean that- well, I did, but as friends! As friends, haha.” Satoru gives a fake little laugh, trying to backtrack on his words. He’s somewhat panicky. The usual personality of him? Went out the door the moment he uttered those words.
