Work Text:
[Morning]
“Ghhhhh...” I’d woken up, tired from the work i’d did the day before. I threw my blanket off and yawned, grabbing my clothes and heading out for class, instead of eating breakfast i’d just daydreamed about Miss Sonia.. “She’s so pretty.. I’d do anything to be with her, but of course Gundham has to step in. God, I hate him but he’s also like a friend to me, I don’t think he sees me as a friend though.. Gahh whatever.”
I walked into class to see most of my classmates sitting or doing something else. Whether it be Fuyuhiko and Peko talking to eachother, Chiaki playing games, or Sonia and Gundham.. Talking.. Being goofy.. Whatever it is. I’m not jealous. Mhm.
Then there’s her, Ibuki. One of my closest and only friends. She’s pretty nice, I help her with her guitar alot. I love her, like, alot
But, in like.. a friend way! Y’know? Nothing uh.. romantic here. My heart’s for Sonia and Sonia only.
She’d walk up to me, with that same silly smile and those pink cheeks, I wonder how they stay like that..
“SOUDAA! WHAT’S UP!!!?” She’d aggressively shake my hand, but I don’t mind it. I find her energy quite cute. ..A puppy type of cute, again, nothing err.. romantic. Right. Right..? Of course not, she’d never want someone like me. I have Sonia anyways..
I don’t know why but i’d have this..weird feeling in my stomach. It hurts, but in a good way sort of.. It’s hard to describe..
I’d decide to go talk to Miss Sonia, wishing she’d just realize what I see in her..
“Miss Sonia!! Hey! Uhh...” Shit... of course i’m awkward.
“Hi! Hows it going, Souda?”
I’d blush when she says my name, she says it so.. elegantly.. I don’t know how to describe it..
Gundham would stare at me in a sense of jealousy, he’d be telling me without telling me “why are you talking to her? you creep”
I know I can be a bit of a perv, but you can’t blame me. Everyone has pervy thoughts at some point!! I just..get them more than others..
I’d continue to talk to Sonia for a couple of minutes before I feel this.. this pain in my stomach, not like the pain from earlier.. Like a “i’m about to throw up my guts” type of pain.
“Hey uh.. Miss Sonia? I gotta go.. I don’t feel well..”
“Alright then! Goodbye Souda!! I hope you feel better!”
I smile at her words and rush to the bathroom, I prepare myself for a shitty moment, I hate throwing up, especially from motion..
I run into the stall and stand hunched over the toilet for a couple of seconds before it comes out of me, but it doesn’t feel right.. It’s supposed to be just liquid. I haven’t eaten anything.. But no, it feels.. like chunks of something in some sort of way.. And is that.. blood?
My eyes widen, why the hell am I throwing up blood? And is that a fucking flower? What’s..What’s wrong with me?
I start to panic, this isn’t normal.. not at all. This is something really bad, terrible, I feel like I might die. I hate this feeling, what’s wrong with me? I start to tear up, I feel terrible. I just threw up blood and flowers. That’s not something to just brush off. I flush the toilet, walking out of the stall feeling extremely weak. I run some water from the sink and swish it in my mouth to wash out the blood, I wipe my mouth and stumble out of the bathroom. I decide to look for Mikan to see what’s going on with me..
I wipe my eyes and sniffle from the tears and snot in my nose from crying. I walk over to find Mikan and ask her what’s going on with me
“H-hey.. Mikan..? Since you’re like.. the Ultimate Nurse and stuff... You gotta tell me what’s going on.. I need some serious help here dude..”
!!?- “Oh, I think I can help..But please don’t be mad at me if I can’t..” she’d start to whine and I assure her I won’t, and I just need help.
“It’s alright. I just need to figure out what’s wrong with me.. I just had this terrible pain in my stomach so I ran to the bathroom and threw up, but it wasn’t like, normal type of throw up.. It was.. Like.. Flowers.. and Blood. Who the fuck throws up flowers!!? My voice cracks and I blush out of embarrassment, I hope she didn’t notice that..
“Flowers.. and blood? That sounds like.. Hanahaki disease..”
“Hana-who now?”
“Hanahaki disease, it happens when you’re in love with someone and they don’t love you back, or you just believe that.. I hope I’m not wrong.. This is my first case of someone with this.. But i’ve studied it..”
“W-what..?” My thoughts go blank, how is this even possible..?
“How do you get rid of it?!”
“Well.. I believe the only way to get rid of it is the person loving you back, through surgery, or just simply waiting out your time and letting it.. k-kill you.”
“KILL ME?” Another voice crack, I hate when that happens but it’s only when I yell or something..
“Please.. K-keep your voice down, Souda..”
“Sorry.. I’m just.. Scared. This is deadly..? But the surgery option is there too, right?”
“Yes, it is, but.. If you get the surgery, you will forget the person you were in love with, forever.”
“F-forever..?” Tears would form in my eyes, I don’t wanna forget anyone..
“Do you mind if I hug you..? You seem extremely.. e-emotional from this..”
“Go ahead..” I tell her, sniffling and crying, I don’t wanna die this way..
She hugs me and I hold her back, there’s so much going through my mind..
“D-do you know who it is? I assume Sonia?”
“Probably..But she’d never love me back. She wants Gundham..”
“Oh.. I’m not sure about that then..”
Not sure? NOT SURE? So i’m just supposed to fucking die? I don’t wanna die, not this young..
[Noon]
I’d be walking in the hall when I spot Ibuki, I walk up to her to greet her. I get that same weird feeling in my stomach again, the good feeling..
“Hey.. Ibuki..”
“HAIII!! What’s up!!??”
“...Nothing really...”
“Ibuki senses there’s something up with you.. Why do you look so droopy? Like an old man? Did Sonia reject you?”
“No, no.. It’s not that..”
“Then what is it? Why are ya in a bad mood? Ibuki’s always here to help!!”
Ibuki’s always here to help..those words stuck with me.. I want to tell her what’s going on, but I have a feeling I shouldn’t..
“I feel kind of sick, y’know when I rushed to the bathroom after talking with Sonia earlier..?”
We started walking with eachother, not going anywhere, just around the halls.. She looked so nice.. The way her hair just.. flows.. Her silly smile.. Her upbeat and energetic attitude.. I love when she cares.. ..Wait.. The fuck am I going on about? Ugh.. Stupid.. You’re seriously not gonna fall in love with your best friend. That’s just crazy, she isn’t into me. She clearly doesn’t want me. I’m too weird, too stupid.
“Soudaaaa!! Earth to Kazuichi!! Hello!?” She’d boop my nose and i’d snap back to reality
“S-sorry.. Just got caught up in my thoughts for a second..”
“Oh! That’s okay! I get caught up in my own thoughts too sometimes, don’t sweat it!”
The.. way she says that.. Don’t sweat it.. Why is she so nice to me? I always wonder that.. Out of all people she considers me a friend? Sometimes I feel like she’s faking it.. There’s no way i’m THAT likeable..
But.. she’s nice to me.. If she’s nice to me then there’s no way she’s faking it, she’s nice to everyone so don’t think you’re special..
I feel so.. weird around her now.. I don’t get it. A month ago I was perfectly fine, I loved her as my best friend, but now.. I.. I don’t get it.. There’s no way.
“Kazuuu!! Soda cann!!? You’ve been zoning out a LOT lately. What’s up?”
Soda can.. That nickname.. i’d blush. Me out of all people with a silly nickname? She’s.. adorable.. My mind shifts to these weird visions.. Holding hands? WOAH WOAH WOAH.. I am NOT kissing her. There’s something going on with me..
“Do you just want me to leave you alone..? There’s not much of a sense of talking if it’s just gonna be to myself.”
My heart shatters at that comment.. I quickly speak up to reassure her.
“No! Nonono! Don’t stop talking! It’s not like i’m not listening i just..like your voice..”
..Like her voice? Really Kaz? Stupid. Stupid Stupid Stupid. Why’d I say that. I immediately go red and look away, there’s no taking it back..
“You.. Like my voice? A few people said they find it a bit annoying..” I’d see her blush at the compliment, her reaction.. I feel warm..
My heart starts to beat quicker than usual, fluttering even.. That weird feeling in my stomach is just.. butterflies.. I ruin the moment by coughing, I feel more coming up..
“Shit.. Uh.. Ibuki? Give me a second.. Please?”
“Oh! Sure thing!”
I’d rush to the bathroom again, repeating the process of blood and flower petals rushing out of me.
I walk back to Ibuki and continue coughing.
“You good? Souda, you don’t need to hide things from me.”
I’d look away and scratch the back of my head
“I know, I know. I just don’t feel good.” I’d trail off again before she does something unexpected..
She’d grab me by the shoulders and stare into my eyes
“Soda can! Listen to me! You can tell me anything! I’m not gonna judge you or anything, i’d be the last person to do that! Just don’t lie to me about anything. Please.”
I’d be caught off guard and blush intensely while she stared into my eyes, i’d listen to her.
“Okay. Okay. I’m sorry. It’s just hard to speak up about this.”
She’d take her hands off of my shoulders and speak again.
“If you’re not ready to speak about it, maybe you don’t have to tell me right this second. But just please tell me sometime.”
“Got it.”
[Afternoon]
I’d be lying in my bed with a trashcan next to me incase I throw up again. I feel absolutely terrible. Flower petals? Really? I’m starting to realize who this might be from if it isn’t Sonia.. But I have to atleast try.
[Timeskip to like two weeks later im so sry it’s like 9pm on a tuesday writing this]
[Noon]
I’d be walking in the hall again, coming across Sonia. I’m more affectionate toward her, trying to cure this stupid disease. She’s not taking it, I feel like i’m just annoying her..
“Miss Sonia.. Please..” My smile would fade as she’d walk away, I obviously made her uncomfortable.. God I feel terrible for that. I don’t mean to be like this.. I just want to be loved..
[Afternoon - Dusk]
I barf up another flower, crying on my bed. I’m not ever gonna be loved. No one wants me. I’m just a stupid dog. I follow people around expecting love and affection and I just get ignored.
“Why won’t anyone fucking LOVE ME?”
I whine with another voice crack, I slide the can under my bed and continue to cry.
I sniffle and bury my face in my pillow.
I hear footsteps and shut up, someone must have heard me..
There’s a knock on the door..
“Soda can? Can I come in..?”
It’s Ibuki..
“Yeah..” I say with my voice breaking..
She walks in with a worried expression on her face, she sits on my bed and looks at me
I’m shaking with my pillow covering my face, she tries to take the pillow away and I refuse, I hate when people see me like this
“Stop.. I look fucking ugly right now..”
“Ugly? Kaz.. Give me the pillow..”
Eventually she yanks it away to see my face covered in tears and snot, her eyes widen and her expression softens..
“K-Kaz.. Are you okay..?”
Her first instinct is to grab me and hug me, this causes me to just become more emotional and cry into her shoulder..
She ruffles through my badly layered hair, slightly gripping onto it while she hugs me, she refuses to let go and just allows me to cry, staining her shirt with my tears..
My heart flutters as she plays with my hair, it calms me down a bit, but i’m still crying terribly. I break the hug and wipe my face. She grabs my face and wipes a tear running down my face. I get flustered by that and grab at her wrist softly, i’m not trying to take her hand off of my face, i just get that weird feeling in my stomach again.. The good feeling..
But then that feeling quickly turns bad and I feel another rush of flowers coming up..
“D-DON’T LOOK AT ME!”
I rush to grab the trash can under my bed and barf up another ton of flowers and blood, i wipe my mouth and breathe heavily..
She grabs me and stares at me with confusion and concern in her eyes
“KAZ! Are you okay?”
Those words make me cry even more, it’s hard to get a word out. She cares about me so much and I can’t say anything. It’s terrible. Absolutely fucking terrible.
Her first instinct is to push me aside and grab the garbage can to inspect what’s inside of it.
“Kaz.. Are these.. flowers..? A-and blood!? Are you okay? Seriously. You’ve told me you were just sick I wouldn’t have expected you to be throwing up fucking flowers!?”
I’d stare at her, unable to speak. She starts to cry and I can only sit there, staring out of pure shock and sob.
Watching her cry is like being tied up and having knives piercing through my body one by one.
“I-ibuki..” I cry even more and my entire face is covered in tears.
“Why didn’t you tell me? Why. Why didn’t you tell me about this? You’re not okay. This isn’t anything to lie about..”
“Ibuki.. I’m.. I’M SO FUCKING SORRY OKAY!!?”
I grab her into another hug squeezing her as tight as I can, sobbing into her shoulder once again.
I cough up more flowers as i’m hunched over her shoulder.
“Kaz.. Tell me what’s going on. Please. I don’t like to see you suffer like this.”
I can’t do anything but cry for the next 30 seconds until I can calm down and speak.
“It’s.. H-hanahaki disease.. It happens when you have or believe you have unrequited love.”
I’d sigh and she’d stare at me with disbelief.
“Sonia..?”
“I...I’m not sure..”
I’d become nervous and blush, afraid of what she’d say..
“If it isn’t Sonia, then who..? I thought you were in love with her.”
“Love is a uh... Big.. Big word. It was more like.. She was nice to me and I thought she was pretty and i’m pretty desperate with affection and shit..”
She’d then start to suggest some people, we’d both wipe our faces from tears and calm down.
“Uuhh.. Peko..? Mikan? Hiyoko?”
“No, no, hell no.”
“Then who??!”
“I really don’t know. I just can’t tell at all.” I’d be extremely confused on who I was in love with, coughing up another few flowers. She’d then hug me again, she can’t stand seeing me like this and i’d feel extremely grateful she cares.. And once again that good feeling in my stomach came back.. My heart would beat wildly...
“Are you.. Alright..? Your heart is going extremely quick.. Like.. Badumpbadumpbadumpbadump.. but way faster.”
I’d then come to my senses, my face would go extremely red.
It’s.. her. I’m in love with my best friend, Ibuki Mioda.. I’d immediately look away from her and scratch my head with my face red as a tomato, I can’t really look her in the eyes anymore..
“Soda can? You good? You’re like.. extremely red.. Is this because of the person you’re in love withh..!?”
She’d tilt her head in this awfully cute way and give me a mischevious smirk. If only I could tell her..
“Mhm..P-perfectly fine.” I’d give her a thumbs up and a goofy smile.
She’d give me a sort of “I know what you’re thinking but I want you to say it” type face, like she could read my thoughts or something.
“Soda cannn..You can tell me.” She’d then put her arm around my shoulder and laugh.
I wanna tell her, but the courage is too hard to build up, i’m extremely awkward in these situations..
All I can do is look away an blush, hoping she’ll get it.. These flower petals aren’t gonna go away until I tell her.
“Ibuki...I... Uhm...” Think. Fucking think.. You can’t be too specific but too vague either.. Just say it you dumbass...
“Hm?” She’d perk up like a curious fox, she’s so adorable.. Too adorable. I can’t tell her just yet, I just.. can’t. I can’t get it out..
Wait.. I came up with an idea.. What if I convince her that i’m super tired and I just grab her and cuddle her.. No.. that’d be too obvious.. What if.. What if I convince her to stay with me until we fall asleep together.. God I just can’t help but blush imagining that..
There’s so much I wanna say to her and she has no clue. I just want her to be mine already.
[Night]
I fake yawn and get comfy.
“I’m tired..”
“Oh, I can leave you alone to rest if you want.” She’d stand up from my bed.
“No! Nono.. don’t, please?”
“Okay, okay. But just for you, mkay?” She’d sit back down on my bed.
I’d blush at that statement.. Just for me? I’d be lying down and looking up at her.
“So, do you sleep with those horns or do you do them in the morning?”
“I do them in the morning, I wake up a bit early but it’s a bit of a hassle. I don’t mind it though.
Hey, speaking about my horns, I might aswell just take them out now. You got a mirror?”
“In the bathroom.”
She’d get up and walk to the bathroom, she’d give me that same cute smile.. I can’t help but give a goofy smile back to her.
I wait until I can confirm she closed the door. I start to kick my feet like a little schoolgirl. I can tell I look incredibly stupid, but I just can’t help it.
I barf up another few flowers and drink some water.
“Soda can, you alright?”
“Yea, i’m good..”
I feel like the disease is getting worse.. I need to tell her soon or else i might fuckin die.
A few minutes later, she comes out without the horns and completely changed clothes, no wonder she was in there for a while.
“Is that.. my shirt...?”
“Maybe..” I’d notice her blush a bit.. Is she.. teasing me? My heart flutters and I blush too..
“Yeah.. I didn’t wanna leave you alone so I took your clothes..”
“I don’t mind.. I think it looks nice on you.. Wanna keep it...?”
Wait.. Why did I say that..
I’d immediately heat up and realize what I said... IT LOOKS NICE ON HER? I OFFERED FOR HER TO KEEP MY SHIRT?
“Oh.. Sure..!”
We’re making eachother red left and right.. I kinda like this.. The look in her eyes when she said she’d keep it..
God.. She’s so pretty with or without the horns..
“Hey.. Ibuki..?”
“Hm?” She sits back on my bed.
“You’re.. Uhh... You’re pretty..”
I’m terrible at this.
“Oh.. T-Thank you... You.. too..?”
Me too? She seriously can’t find a better response..? ....This is why I love her.. We’re both awkward in ways..
We’d both blush again. I don’t want to shower her with compliments and overwhelm her, so I try to stay a bit more quiet with them. I don’t want to be too obvious, but I want her to know.
I curl up in my bed, yawning genuinely this time.. I do feel exhausted from throwing up and crying..
I want to say something completely different, but the words slip out of my mouth, I couldn’t stop it, so I let the sentence go on..
“Can we cuddle..? I just need some comfort..”
There’d be silence for a few seconds, I blush intensely, realizing what I said.. I wave my hand aggressively. “I’m sorry that was stupid, it just came out of-“
“Sure, I don’t mind..” She’d smile and before I knew it, she was in my arms.. I’d blush profusely and just let it happen, I want to sob out of happiness.. The weird feeling comes back.. I think the name for it is.. “butterflies”.. Butterflies just.. flying around in my stomach.. I never want this to end..
She’d yawn, she seemed comfortable.. The idea I had earlier.. It’s reality now.. Wow... It’s overwhelming in a good way..
[Morning]
I’d wake up and yawn, completely forgetting about my surroundings.. I’d hold her closer without realizing, thinking it was just my pillow, I’d wrap my leg around her. I wouldn’t realize it was her until she shifted around.. I popped up out of shock and accidentally pushed her out of the bed.
My thoughts were racing like crazy.. I CUDDLED AND FELL ASLEEP WITH MY BEST FRIEND..? IS SHE EVEN MY BEST FRIEND..? It was kinda nice though.. I realized I pushed her out after a few seconds..
“OH SHIT.. ARE YOU OKAY?” I’d reach out my hand to her, she’d just start giggling..
“Kazuichi..You goofball..”
I was confused for a second, but I started to chuckle along with her.
“Seriously.. Are you okay though?”
“All good!!”
I’d scratch the back of my head..
“Oh okay, but uhh.. sorry for waking you up that way.. I just uh.. Thought something.”
“Totally okay! You know you don’t need to apologize, it was a mistake and that’s alright.”
Her reassurance made me feel nice.. But my body would ruin the moment by coughing up another few flower petals..
She’d giggle “Okay flower man, that’s enough. You’re coughing these up like no tomorrow.”
“I can’t control itt... It just happens. It can’t be cured unless that person loves me back I guess..”
I’d get up and walk to the bathroom, grabbing my toothbrush and running the water..
“I’ll be backk!!” Ibuki would run out, barefoot in my shirt and her shorts..
“Wait- Where are you going..!!?”
She’d be out of my dorm before I could finish my sentence.. She’d run back in after a few seconds.. She had her toothbrush and a couple of clothes in her hand..
“Sorrryy! Just had to grab this!”
She’d then make some room for herself near me, we’d be brushing our teeth together in the morning like a married couple.. I find this cute.. She’d then unexpectedly pull out her phone and snap a photo of us, i’d chuckle.
“Can you uuuhhh.. Turn around for a sec? I gotta change.”
“Oh! Sure sure!” I’d turn around, allowing her to do whatever she needs to do.
I’m a bit disappointed she isn’t wearing my shirt anymore.. Although I do slightly wanna peek..
But if I do I might make her feel weird..
Come on Kaz.. Don’t be such a perv..
GAHH But I want tooo... This is the first chance i’m getting to see a girl without a shirt on..
I don’t wanna miss this chance but I also don’t wanna be rude...
Okay fine Kaz.. ONE peek. All you’re getting...
I’d turn my head for a second and quickly turn back blushing, girls in bras are hot...
My god.. what are you thinking!!?? Stop being so pervy or you’ll never get her..
“You can turn around noww!!”
I’d turn back around and she’d be in her casual clothes, I’d grab the jumpsuit I always wear, putting it on.
I’d wipe my face and do my eyeliner after I cried it all off last night, she’d be doing her hair.
I’d mess up and look for something to wipe it off..
“Heyy.. Buki..? I kinda fucked up my eyeliner..”
“Oh! I have makeup wipes, if you’re too shaky I can do it for you! I know how you can get a bit shaky when you’re focusing.”
I’d blush, she’ll do my eyeliner for me? And not to mention how much she pays attention to detail..
“Okay..” I’d wipe off the part I messed up.. She’d then grab the eyeliner and hold up my chin
“Stay reaaaaaally still for me!!”
“O-okay!!”
It’s hard to think if this is actually happening or i’m just hallucinating out of my own thoughts, but I swear I could feel her rubbing my cheek with her thumb.. It felt kinda good.. I can’t help but start to blush as she’s doing my eyeliner..
A few minutes later shes finished with my eyeliner. I give her a goofy smile as I keep my eyes closed for a few more seconds, making sure it dries.
She’d then start on her eyeliner, I’d fix my hair, brushing it out and braiding that one piece. I’d then grab my beanie and put it on my head, I really need to get my hair fixed..
We’d be back in the room now, lying down and talking about random things while we wait for classes to start.
“Heyy.. is that.. GLASSES? IN YOUR DRAWER!!??”
“Huh..-HUH!!??”
Ibuki would reach for my old glasses..
“SODA CAN!!?? I NEVER KNEW YOU WORE GLASSES!??”
She’d put them on herself.. She actually looks nerdy, but pretty..
“C’mere..”
She’d then grab me and put the glasses on me..
She’d maks this exaggerated but adorable gasp..
“OH MY GOSHHH.. YOU LOOK SO CUTEE!! WHY DON’T YOU WEAR THESE ANYMORE!!??”
I’d go extremely red when she called me cute..
“I don’t like them on me..”
“HUHHH!??? Soda can.. You can’t possibly tell me you don’t like wearing them. You’re perfectly fine with them!!”
“I just don’t like theeemmmm...” I’d pout and whine in a silly way. The bell would ring and she’d pop up, grabbing my hand without giving me time to respond. “COME ONNN!!!!”
[Timeskip to later in the day..]
I’d cough up another flower and decide to make a joke out of it, holding it infront of Ibuki and making this stupid bowing pose.
“Mmmmm’ladyyy”
We’d both laugh.
“You’re so stupid.” She’d ruffle my hair under my beanie.
These flowers are really annoying.. I need this to stop soon..
I’d then cough up something i’d never seen before, a vine..
We’d both gasp and she’d immediately become concerned
“That’s not normal..”
“Y-yeah I know.. I think it’s getting worse..”
“Soda can. If it’s getting worse, THEN TELL THE PERSONN!!!!”
She’d put her hands on my shoulders and shake me in a childish way.
“Fine.”
“OOOOOO! WHEN!!?”
I’d blush heavily..
“Follow me...”
We’d walk over to a small, quiet area with no one around..
“I thought you were gonna tell themm.. I wanted to watch..” She’d make a childish pout until I speak up again..
“I am..”
“When?!!??”
I’d look away and become red.. “R-right now..”
“But there’s.. no one around us?” She’d become confused..
“That’s the thing.”
I’d sit on the floor, leaning against the wall..
“Whatcha mean?”
I’d take a deep breath and look at the floor.
“It’s you, Ibuki.”
“Huh?”
“The person is you.”
“Wait whaaaa.......” She’d trail off in her own thoughts, putting the pieces together..
“WAIT..” She’d go extremely red..
“You’re saying.. You’re in love with..”
“ME!?” “You.”
I’d become extremely nervous, my palms sweating..
She’d then grab me and hug me, I thought I could feel another flower coming up, but it was gone now, it felt like my entire world changed..
“Ibuki..?”
“AAAAAAAAA... YOU DON’T KNOW HOW LONG I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU TO SAY THAT!!!..”
She’d start to go all excited.. Squealing out of excitement.
“I thought it was obvious..”
“IT WAS, YA GOOF!”
“I just wanted to hear you say it.”
She’d giggle and before I knew it, she’d grab me by the face and we’d already be in a kiss.. I’d go immediately red but go along with it, holding her by the back of the head as I used my free hand to bring her closer. We’d both stop to take a breath and we’d hold hands, this went exactly how I wanted it to.. and I’m really grateful..
“I uh... I.. love you.. Ibuki..”
“Hm?”
“I said I love you.”
“Hmmmmmm!!??”
“I LOVE YOU IBUKI GODDAMNIT!!!”
She’d giggle.
“I heard you the first time, Just wanted to hear you say it multiple times.”
That’d make me go extremely red..
She’d then squat dont infront of me and sit on my lap, kissing my nose. She’s so affectionate it’s driving me crazy in the best way possible..
“Stooopppp...” I’d laugh and wipe my eye as i’d start to tear up..
“Nuh uhhh! Maybe don’t be so adorable and I will!
Maybe.”
“I swear...”
“Swear all ya want! It’s truee!”
“You’re so stupid..”
“I love you too!!”
