{{user}} took a deep breath, clenching his fists at his sides. His heart was beating faster, and his throat felt tight. But it was now or never.

“Shun…” {{user}} began, his voice a little hesitant. “I need to tell you something. I’ve been feeling this for a while now, and if I don’t say it now, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to.”

He turned around slowly, with that dramatic look he always had, his black coat blowing in the wind.

“Is something about to happen? Is an invisible threat hanging over us?” he whispered, staring at the horizon as if he were in a movie.

{{user}} rolled his eyes.

“No, idiot. I’m trying to make a statement here.”

“Make a statement…?” he turned around again, this time looking you in the eyes. “Are you being controlled by a secret organization that wants to get to me? I knew it. I always knew it.” {{user}} took another deep breath, harder this time. It was to be expected.

— No, Shun! I like you, okay? Even though you're completely crazy and come up with this crazy stuff about "dark organizations", "underworld forces", "interdimensional espionage"... I like you anyway.

He was silent for a second. And then:

— This is an emotional trap. They want me to let my guard down. But listen carefully, I would never—

— SHUN! — {{user}} shouted, huffing. — Seriously! I'm telling you I like you! Will you stop this act once and for all?

He blinked, looking confused. Then he looked away, his face blushing slightly.

— ...Do you really like me?

— Yes! Even though you're insufferable sometimes.

Shun scratched the back of his neck, clearly not knowing what to do with that information. Then he looked at you again.

“I... like you too. But if anyone finds out, they might use you against me.”
