If I could tell Him (Hanako-Kun x Shy! Reader)

"Do you know what it feels like to want to tell someone something, but you just can't muster the courage to?" I inquired. Yashiro turned to me with a small smile playing on her lips.

"This is about Hanako-Kun, isn't it?" She replied. I nodded sheepishly, already aware of the blush dusting my cheeks.

"I would want to say I know the feeling," She began, "But most of the time when I have a crush, they end up being someone I barely know."

"The problem is I want to tell Hanako-Kun how I feel, I do, but just looking at him makes me feel weak."

"Well, let's talk about it? I'll help you in any way I can!" Suddenly Yashiro pulled me down to one of the benches near the exit of the school.

Hanako's POV

I quietly exited the girl's bathroom to get some fresh air. It was times like these where I wished I was human again, to fully experience the simple things in life that were unachievable to apparitions like myself.

My mind began to drift off to earlier today. For some reason, Y/n was acting out of character while she and Yashiro were cleaning the bathrooms. She seemed more spacey and sheepish than usual. She couldn't even look at me without turning away.

It made me wonder if I did something to upset or anger her. If I did, I had no idea what. I know I could be a bit perverted and playful, but it's never been a problem before. Even if there were a problem, it's not like she would tell me. A sigh escaped my lips.

As I turned around to the back end of Kamome, I saw my pair of assistants chatting with one another on a bench. My curiosity got the best of me, so I decided to get closer to the girls. Not wanting to be seen, I concealed myself behind one of the trees.

"How about this, pretend I am him and practice what you would say. Since it's just me, you shouldn't get that nervous," Yashiro said.

Y/n fidgeted in place before turning to the daikon with an awkward smile. 'How cute~' I thought.

"I-I uh, I really love you, okay? And I just wished I had enough courage to tell you. Because even if you might not like me, there is a part of me that wonders what it would be like to call you mine. Even though we are a million worlds apart, even if we are so different, and even if it might never work in the end, I can't help being in love with you!" By the time Y/n finished with her little speech, she was visibly out of breath. Her face had turned all sorts of red and pink, and her knuckles turned a shade of white. Yashiro clapped her hands excitedly.

Everything started to click in place. Y/n has been acting so dazed because she was in love with someone. A person who seems to be out of her reach, and she was too diffident to confide in him. I wondered who the lucky boy was and if he was as perfect as Y/n claimed he was.

I tried to ignore the jealousy sprouting in my mind. I wanted to be there for Y/n, but I knew I couldn't properly do that if I was in love with her. The wind started to pick up, causing the trees and leaves to swirl around.

"That was so romantic, Y/n-Chan! I'm sure he would fall head over heels in love with you if you told him that." Yashiro exclaimed.

"You've got that right," I mumbled. Y/n buried her hands in her face and groaned.

"But I can't tell him! My vocal cords would never allow me to." She replied. As Yashiro continued to encourage her, I turned around and began to walk away. There were some things I couldn't control, this being one of them. No matter how desperately I wanted to find out who she was in love with, I knew it would be better if she told me herself.

"Even though we are a million worlds apart, even if we are so different, and even if it might never work in the end, I can't help being in love with you!"
