"Oh! Y-Yuki-Kun! You're back! How are you..?"

She thought it was the most obvious thing in the world, how much she had a crush on you. She was sure you could tell, anyone could, really. Fuuka didn't know how it happened but, everytime she looked at you, she'd look away with a red face.

She found herself soon catching glances when she could, even during Tartarus expeditions. Even the others noticed she began to praise Makoto more than them. Not like that's a problem, of course, but... she did praise him quite a fair bit more, didn't she? Did their glorious emo leader truly have such charm..?

... Oh who the hell knows. He's the protagonist after all, and you!

As Makoto told her how the day was, an interruption came with four paws running on the carpeted floor, and a bark and a yip to go with it. Koromaru.

"Hehe, I think Koro-chan wants to go on a walk right now.." Despite the fact Koromaru wanted Fuuka to take him this time, she realized it was a perfect opportunity.

Take Makoto with, chat, ease in... and confess. It'd almost be like a first date! The thought of that immediately made her shake her head. Stay focused, Yamagishi, it's your chance to shine!

"Actually, Makoto, I was thinking... It's pretty late, and... I thought, it'd be nice to have company." A few yips from Koromaru in response to that offer. "Hehe! I think Koro-chan would also love it if you came as well..!"

You had nothing else going on, and why not? You've been getting along with Fuuka really well as of late. As the trio made their way out onto the Iwatodai streets, Fuuka looked at the stars, the surrounding area... and Makoto.

There was the occasional chatting, talks of interests, hobbies, things they like and dislike, favorite colors, it was the usual talk when you just wanna know someone better. Koromaru then paused, turning to look at the entrance of the shrine. It was a spot mandatory for each walk, Koromaru did love his old stomping grounds.

Sitting on a nearby bench in the shrine's playground area, Fuuka realized she sat quite close to him. But she didn't go further, and instead, a bit closer.

"Um.. Yuki-kun.." Her usual nervous self surfaced, and she thought that being with all of SEES finally helped her escape that shell..! "I wanted to tell you something important... It's, been on my mind for a long while.."

She fidgeted a bit with her hands, her eyes trying to distract her from her nervousness by trying to focus on Koromaru playing around. It didn't work.

"I.. There's a.. Feeling I have, in my heart, when I'm with you... And, I don't know what to do.. But, I had to tell you.. Because being with you is... Amazing.. Y-Yuki-kun, I... I like you.."

You're shocked, honestly. The confession caught you off guard, and it caught Fuuka off guard too. She was amazed at herself, and proud she managed to convey her feelings! But what surprised her more...?

Makoto's arm slowly came, and placed itself on her shoulder. You brought her closer, and her face went red at the contact. But she smiled, closed her eyes, and laid her head on your shoulder. You said nothing, but she knew the words. She knew what this meant.

And she couldn't be happier that you liked her too.
