“Kiyotaka—“

“Kei...”

Under the dim moonlight seeping through the window, I could vaguely make out Kiyotaka’s face. Whether it was the lighting or not, I thought I could see a hint of red on his cheeks which in turn made me feel the blood rush to my face.

I... I really can’t believe that this is happening.

I can feel my entire body flare up as I let out shallow breaths. Instinctively, my arms wrapped around warm Kiyotaka’s back.

I pulled him closer. He drew closer. I could feel his breaths send jolts through my skin as his lips neared. We were about to kiss. A-and do mu-much more! Finally after all this time!

As I felt his lips touch mine—

!?!?

*thwack*

“Urgh?”

Sleepily looking around, I could see faintly make out sunlight pouring through my room’s window. To the side I could see my bed, as well as my blanket falling onto the floor. In my arms, was a extremely misshapen pillow.

.

W-was it... was it all JUST A DREAM!?!?

*THUMP!*

*thump! thump! thump!*

*thump! thump*

“Haah haah haah...”

“...WHY!?”

WHY WAS IT A DREAM!? WE HAVEN’T DONE ANYTHING SINCE THAT ONE KISS ON THE ISLAND!!! NO PROGRESS!!! WHYYYYYY!! THIS IS SOO UNFAIR!!!

*brr-brr*

*SLAM!*

“WHO IS IT!?”

“...Kei?”

“KIYOTAKA! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!”

“......Don’t worry. No matter what happens, I’ll take responsibility. I’m coming over right now.”

*biip*

“Huh?”

His response was so astonishing that my mind completely cooled down as I processed what he said.

.

.

Wait? What? Coming over? Why?

“I’ll take responsibility...” “I’ll take responsibility...” “I’ll take responsibility...”

D-d-does that m-mean...
