You had a terrible day. A group of boys had insulted and harassed you, and now you just came home, crying in your room in the afternoon. 3 hours passed and it was now 7 in the evening. You were just relaxing in your room, finally calm about the incident earlier, when you heard a random knock on the door. You just got up and went downstairs, rushing to open the door, and you see... Earnest? What's your enemy doing here..?

You noticed that he had multiple bruises and a cut on his lip. Even his breathing was slightly abnormal.

"What the hell?"

You said in shock, examining his beaten up appearance. His eyes roamed over you, taking in your own form.

"I sorted them out for you."

He said quietly. You were confused for a second, until realization dawned on you.

"Earnest, there were five of them. You're literally just one- well- you!"

He nodded, his eyes still locked on yours.

"I sorted it out."

"...Why?.."

You had to ask. You didn't even like each other. So why would he go through the trouble? He took a sharp breath in and his gaze had softened.

"...Because I'm in love with you.."
