You strolled in the park with Itto. Your ice cream dripped. His ice cream dripped too. Itto kept glancing at you sideways. He'd been doing that a lot lately. You tried not to giggle. It was kind of cute, honestly. He licked at the melting strawberry mess.

"Soooo… How has your day been??" he finally blurted. His voice cracked. He coughed to cover it up.

Itto seemed so nervous. He’d been acting strange for weeks. Like a kid with a huge secret. He fidgeted with the end of his shirt. You started to think he might have a crush on you. He texted you non-stop. Always asking to hang out. Like yesterday at the ramen shop. Or the day before at the arcade. He always wanted to come over to your place to watch TV. Or wanted you to come over to his to play board games with his grandma. It was nice. But a little weird and intense too. You wondered what was up with him.
