Mizuki felt ashamed. Did Kohane see them? Of course she did. It was clear as a crystal in her confused face. They shouldn’t have done what they did. It wasn’t like them at all. Just because they saw Kohane and Akito together and thought they looked good, it wasn’t an excuse to wear clothes they even didn’t like or pretend to be someone they weren't just to impress the girl. It sounds kinda pathetic, right? They tried to ask Akito if they had something and he just said they are crazy - and didn’t give any useful information, then Mizuki just went by impulse. But they should have known better. It wasn’t the kind of secret they could maintain for too long, however, when they discovered who Kohane was, it was too late to tell the truth. At least, it was what Mizuki thought.
An called their name, but Mizuki didn’t look and just ran away, too scared to stay there. Maybe Kohane feels disgusted now.
But… no. She was too sweet for this. Maybe she was mad: after all, Mizuki kind of lied to her in some way.
Why did they do it? It doesn’t even fit their personality at all!
“Aah, I could die right now…” Mizuki thought as they reached the rooftop. Their legs just led them to this place without thinking. Of course, they could just enter in sekai, but they wouldn’t want to face Miku or Meiko or anyone else at this moment.
Sighing, Mizuki leaned their head against the grid. What should they do now? They really liked Kohane. A lot. It shouldn’t have been this way… Now, they ruined everything.
“Akiyama-kun!” Kohane shouted, opening the door behind Mizuki suddenly.
“Kohane?” Confused, Mizuki glanced at her, soon trying to laugh off their sadness and mistake as if it was nothing. “Aah, sorry, Kohane. I’m sure you’re mad with me, right? I can understand if you’re disgusted now…”
Kohane’s face got so serious that, for a moment, Mizuki thought she’d slap them by the way she was walking in their direction. Mizuki closed their eyes as they waited for the impact, but they got even more surprised with what Kohane did. She just brushed off their hair affectionately. Looking at Kohane again, they realized the soft look in her eyes.
“I don’t know exactly what’s happening or why you did it, but… I don’t care, Akiyama-kun.” Kohane’s smile was warm, her hand going to Mizuki’s tied hair, loosening it until untie it while the other brought them closer by the clothes. “I like Akiyama-kun as they are.”
“You… Don’t you think it is strange…?” Mizuki felt troubled, but their chest was feeling Kohane’s warmth.
“I think… You’re beautiful in any way. You’re amazing, Akiyama-kun.”
Mizuki’s face got red. They didn’t expect to hear it. Even less Kohane stands in her tiptoes and brushes their lips together in a quick and soft kiss. It ended quickly, but the warm feeling was still there.
Then, Kohane realized what she had done and moved to the other side, blushing intensely.
Mizuki got confused, but soon they understood, they laughed, embracing Kohane from behind.
“Thank you, Kohane. I like you too.”
Kohane nodded shyly, leaning closer to Mizuki.
An and Akito, observing from the door, weren’t understanding what was going on, but Mizuki and Kohane seemed fine, so… Everything was ok, they guessed.
“Seems you lost your precious partner, huh.” Akito muttered just to get a slap in his arm from An.
“And you, your crush.”
Akito blushed.
“... Shut up.”
