Chapter Text
Hiro… I've been thinking of him a lot lately. I've had a crush on him since elementary school, and now he's finally in middle school, too, even though we go to different schools still, with me at an all-girls' school and him at an all-boys' school and all...
Suddenly, I look up and am surprised to see Hiro, even though I knew he would show up soon. School has just ended, and he always comes to get me after school. Though I am a full year older than he is, we are in the same year because of all the school I missed last year.
As he walks me home, we talk about our days. I ask about Hiro's baby sister, Hinata, who was born just a few months ago. We're so happy that he can finally hug her without transforming into a sheep. Then there's a silence as neither of us can think of what to say.
Suddenly, just as we are getting close to my house, Hiro leans in a little bit. I turn towards him, thinking he's about to tell me a secret, and lean in a bit, too. By now, we are mere centimeters apart. He closes his eyes, and his lips touch mine gently. Though I am surprised, I close my eyes and kiss him back.
When we finally break apart, Hiro and I are both blushing. I hear my mother calling me, so I run on ahead. But I stop and go running back to Hiro, hugging him and giving him a kiss on the cheek. However, Hiro pulls me close and kisses me on the lips again. Mom is getting impatient now, so I run home. I'm nervous to tell her about this, but I know I'll have to...
~~~~~~~I am a page break. Fear me. ~~~~~~~
After I tell Mom, she hugs me and says, "I knew it would happen soon. You two are so cute together."
Happy that my mom approves of my relationship with Hiro, I can tell Onee-chan, and maybe some other people, too. But, even though Akito is nicer now and can no longer control us like she used to, I'm still a little afraid of her… What should I do now?
