Work Text:
Everything is going like usual, Komi is looking for Tadano. Just him being there is enough for her to relieve stress.
"Oh~ Hello Komi-san!" Could be heard from behind, Just as she turned around, a brown haired girl could be seen.
Oh, It's just Yamai.
"Wanna play a game?" She asked politely, Komi wanted to decline, but she's too shy to do it, so she ended up nodding.
"Great!"
"We'll play the, "I love you" game." Komi tilted her head, confused.
Why does she want to play the "I love you" game, Is it love related?
"Rules are, One tells the other they love them, if the recieving one blushes then they lose, seems simple, right?" She said with a smile, Yamai-san was already blushing.
Komi nodded her head slowly, still wondering why Yamai wanted to play this.
"I'll start!" Yamai sat down, signaling Komi to sit aswell, and she cleared her throat.
"I... I love you, Komi-san." She said with a red face.
Am I blushing?
Komi touched her chin, she was as cold as ever, Then I win!
Komi got excited, she won without even knowing the purpose of the game.
"You're turn!" Yamai's polite smile turned into a grin.
Komi tilted her head again, but then took out her notebook and started writing.
[I don't love you though. As a friend, but romantically I don't.]
Yamai felt her heart shatter into atleast a million pieces, if not more...
"Oh, hello you two...?" Komi turned around to see Tadano, who she was looking for earlier.
"Uhm...?" Tadano stood there with an expression Komi didn't understand.
Yamai's eyes were barely visible, just from seeing Tadano there, her chances of hearing "I love you!" from Komi-san, were all zero. It's his fault, HIS FAULT!
Yamai stared at him, he stood there in confusion, but eventually spoke up.
"Are you guys doing something important?" He asked while scratching his neck, Komi still confused why he's just standing there.
Komi shook her head slightly, then she heard the chair infront of her get thrown as Yamai sprinted out of there.
"Well then, Is there any particular reason that you're sitting in my seat?" He said with a soft smile, trying to be polite and not sound rude. Komi's eyes widened, she immediately looked down, and realized that she had accidently sat down in the wrong seat.
She shot up from it and was ready to sprint out of the classroom, but Tadano grabbed her by the wrist and stopped her.
"It's fine! You can sit there if you want to, Sorry if I disturbed you guys!" He said fast.
"I-.. I-'m sorry." She said, and quickly sat down in her own seat.
"Well, Did I?" He asked once again.
"No! O-of course not!" She said fast, her face is still beet red from sitting in his seat, even if it isn't that bad to everyone else, Komi thinks it's embarrassing to have sat down somewhere where Tadano sits down every day.
"I'm glad" He sighed.
"Oh yeah, Komi-san, I forgot to give you this earlier today." He said as he opened his bag.
Komi's cat ears appeared, "Pomph!"
"Here!" He handed her... what looks like... A LOVE LETTER?
No, It can't be right? This is probably just a joke or something...?!
Komi's face was still beet red, nonetheless it did look like a love letter. It had a big heart on the front, it was signed with "To Komi Shouko, Love Tadano Hitohito." and he looked nervous when he gave it.
Could it be? But what do I do... If it is...? How do I reject him?
Komi's eyes widened,
I don't want to reject him... I love him, I love Tadano Hitohito. So... HOW DO I ACCEPT?
Komi's thoughts were all around, but she finally decided to open it.
Dear Komi Shouko,
Would you like to go to a ramen shop after school?
-Tadano Hitohito.
Huh?
She looked at him, he looked very flustered.
"L... L-look at the other side..." He said, She immediately flipped the paper.
Dear Komi Shouko,
Would you like to go watch a movie after school?
-Tadano Hitohito Your friend.
She slowly nodded with a blush, she looked at him again, he kept the same look.
"Flip again..." He said, Komi was confused. She already had that side, so why flip it again? She did so either way.
Dear Komi Shouko,
Wanna eat some icecream after school?
-Tadano Hitohito Your first friend.
What? Didn't... Didn't I just read this page...?
"Flip it again."
Dear Komi Shouko,
Wanna go on a date during school vacation?
-Tadano Hitohito Your boyfriend.
Komi was in confusing, but the last line still made her beet red.
"Flip it, again." He said.
"Wait, How are you doing this?" Komi asked, she didn't have any trouble speaking right now it seemed.
"It's just a magic trick." He said, as he looked towards her with a smile.
So... Does that mean he actually wants to go on a date?
Komi started steaming, "Flip it, again."
She flipped it.
Dear Komi Shouko,
If I told you, that I'm gone, would you believe me?
-Tadano Hitohito An old friend.
Komi's eyes widened, just what is happening? She quickly looked up, and to her suprise, Tadano was gone.
"W-what...?" She said, trembling.
Wait...! Where did he go?
Before she got any further, she felt a couple of arms hugging her from behind.
"Haha, Joking." He said.
Komi became beet red again, she was hugged by her crush... FROM BEHIND, HIS ARMS ARE AROUND HER WAIST!!!
"Flip it."
Dear Komi Shouko,
What if I told you, that I've always loved you?
-
"Huh?" She let out, his arms were still around her. She flipped it again.
Dear Komi Shouko,
Look outside the window.
What happened, to the -Tadano Hitohito? Is this a nightmare?
She ran up to the window and looked outside, "Komi-san! Will you be my girlfriend, and stay with me for the rest of my life?" He shouted, the entire school was there cheering for him.
Komi's eyes began tearing up, So he scared me, and then asked me out.
"Yes!" She shouted back, the entire school yelled and it was so loud that it felt like a concert.
She ran through the school and down to the front gate, and saw her boyfriend standing there. She ran even faster, and ignored all the people around her, and kissed him.
"I love you Shouko, let's stay together forever, and create our own family someday!" They were both steaming, and Komi felt his touch go away, as if he just disappeared.
"Tadano-kun?" She asked, but when she opened her eyes, she was in her bed.
Huh?
She just realized.
So it was all a dream...?
Komi laid down and hugged her pillow while pretending that it is Tadano. She flapped her legs against the bed and squeeled.
It was scary at first, and it explains how he disappeared. But... I hope he tells me that one day, I've never been that happy before.
