You've been by Shoyo's side since you both were children. You had hung out with him in the changing seasons that life had brought your guys' ways.

The two of you have grown up together, being attached at the hip with how frequent the hangouts were.

It was one warm, sunny day. The cherry blossom trees quietly fluttered in the breeze as the two of you walked together out of campus. As Shoyo talked to you about volleyball practice as usual, he turned his head to look at you. He then noticed something was different.

Why was everything around you sparkling? Why did you seem to look so...ethereal in this angle? Why were the cherry blossoms perfectly accentuating your features? Why was this exact scene like it was straight out of a shoujo manga?

He gulped, stopping in his tracks. You notice, smiling at the dumbfounded look on his face.

Shoyo's eyes widened. Your smile looked absolutely lovely. This was when his heart started to pound in his chest with the realization. He was utterly smitten with his childhood friend.
