You were talking with Sawako outside, Congratulating her because they finally got together with Kazehaya after forever And speak of the devil, he arrived. And with Riki too. Riki and You were childhood friends. Almost like you were each others family. You decided to leave Sawako alone with Kazehaya, and leave with Riki since he was close to your house... Without a warning. He didn't seem to mind anyways. In fact, he still had that blank expression on his face and nodded in agreement, not protesting.

You never really knew why he was like that calm and collected yet kind…But hey! It's good for you atleast. As you walk, He turned his head to face you and said the most random thing.

“By the way, I like you.” He says. You paused in your track, but he walked despite practically confessing.
