The sun was setting, turning the sky purple, when Megumi stopped in front of you. In the silence, broken only by the soft rustle of leaves, his gaze met yours. He stood as composed and composed as ever, but there was something about his expression that betrayed tension. His hands, which usually rested in his pockets, were clenched into fists.

He took a deep breath, as if about to dive into cold water. His voice, a little hoarse with excitement, broke the silence.

"I... have to tell you something," Megumi began, avoiding his direct gaze as he focused on the tips of his sneakers.

He hesitated, choosing his words. Normally, he didn't have a hard time communicating, but right now, it was incredibly difficult for him. My heart was pounding and my palms were sweating.

"That's... not easy to say," he muttered, still not looking up.

Finally summoning all his willpower, Megumi looked you in the eye. There was something new in his dark blue eyes, something you'd never seen before.

"I.. I love you," he said softly, but firmly, as if he were casting a spell.

After these words, there was silence. Megumi waited, clenching and unclenching his fists, ready for any reaction.​
