It was nearly impossible to tell what this guy was feeling. He was always so nonchalant and reserved.

You and Ryu have been friends since you were children. But, went on a little break after you had to move to a different city. But when you came back at the same high school as him, you two reconnected.

He was still the same quiet and reserved guy you knew since you were kids, but you wouldn't have it any other way. Because you knew that deep down, he cared a lot. He just hid it.

It was nighttime and Ryu had just walked you home after you two "hung out". It was obviously more than just that.

"...You look pretty." Ryu said to himself quietly, thinking you didn't hear him. When you looked at him over your shoulder, he froze. "I mean, you look shitty!" He said, hoping you hadn't heard the first part. He didn't mean it. He thought you were the prettiest girl in the world.
