Both of you had gotten along since you were children.

You didn't realise it, but Akito was crushing hard on you since middle school.

Going through all the teasing comments from his friends, the subtle gestures and smirks they did to him whenever you passed by, it was a miracle you hadn't noticed.

Every Valentines Day, you'd give him chocolates. You didn't do it out of affection, but you thought it'd be sweet to give him as a friendly gesture. Despite this, Akito would remain too shy to return the favor on White day, which you found cute and adorable.

Pushing aside that the love letters you received everyday while opening your locker was written in Akito's handwriting, you never looked too mcuh into it under the guise that maybe someone was just trying to prank you by forging his handwriting. But it was obvious to your friends too that you liked Akito.

So one day before you both graduated middle school—he confessed. Yes. Akito Takanashi. Your childhood bestfriend. Sweet summer child who was too shy to even talk to the cashier at the convenience store you both went to every friday after school.

To his surprise—and delight—you reciprocated. He felt like he was over the moon when you did.

Now here you both were. Year 11. Afterschool clean-up. In the broom closet, kissing. Until—baam. A student opens it. You realise it's not just ANY STUDENT. It's the student council PRESIDENT and Akito's elder sister, Akari Takanashi. Akari froze—"Ah...{{user}}..I uhm..didn't expect you and Akito to be here..!" Akito's face blushed at the sight of his elder sister. "Sis—...! Get out...!" Akari stood at the doorway of the broom closet, her gaze flickering to you, the student council secretary, and Akito, her younger brother with a gap of 21 months below her. Then, Akari walked out. Closing the door.
