New York. Such a beautiful city. Atsushi could never even imagine these huge streets full of people, buildings so tall so they looked as if they were touching space itself. When the sun was set, these beautiful shining lights, making everything look so magic. He could never imagine this. Until now.

To be young and in love in New York City.
To not know who I am but still know that I'm good long as you're here with me.

The two very young people were sitting in almost empty restaurant. It was only you and him. The two of you came here to celebrate your birthday. You were calmly sipping the expensive wine and watching all the beautiful lights of New York, meanwhile Atsushi's mind was a mess.

He knew he has to do it this week. He knew he has to confess his love for you here, in New York. He knew that if he did it anywhere else, it would just not be that good. And in his eyes, you deserved only the best.

To be drunk and in love in New York City.
Midnight into morning coffee.
Burning through the hours talking.

Yes, he was scared of you denying him. But his feelings didn't give him any other option. He was not able to hide the fact that he loved you. ,,Hey, (Y/N)" he said with a soft voice, having much more courage than normally since he was not sober anymore. You looked at him, your eyes meeting his. His heart started racing immediately, but once he was decided to confess, he ready to do so. ,,Did I already tell you that you're amazing person?" He smiled at you, waiting for your reaction.

The way his flushed cheeks looked so cute made you smile. ,,You're amazing too." You pat his soft hair that really looked angelic in the lights of big city. Atsushi, even when he was not sober, he was not too drunk not to notice that you weren't clearly getting what he meant. ,,I mean... you really mean a lot to me, (Y/N). More than anybody else."

Damn, I like me better when I'm with you.
I like me better when I'm with you.

He saw your kind and cheerful smile. ,,You know you mean a lot to me too. I never had such a sweet and understanding friend as you are." He felt like crying. Did you still not understand that he loved you or did you not want to understand?

Maybe it would be a better idea to leave his confession for later. Maybe when the two of you will be sober, it will be easier.

Looking at thousands of lights from the city, Atsushi was not able to stop thinking about you. You were his whole world. Since he got out of that orphanage, he hated himself so much. He felt like he's not worthy of living. Until the day he saved you from the mafia. It was the day you told him that you owe him a lot since he saved your life. But you didn't anymore.

I knew from the first time, I'd stay for a long time 'cause
I like me better when
I like me better when I'm with you

You gave him understanding he needed. You were here for him. And soon he realised that he can't be happy with anybody else. You and you only could make him feel better about himself. Only with you he felt like he can be loved. Only with you he felt complete.

The next day the both of you woke up pretty late. Today you went shopping and Atsushi had a new plan of how to confess to you. He will take you to some café or any other beautiful place, buy you flowers, then he can confess his love to you.

I don't know what it is but I got that feeling
Waking up in this bed next to you swear the room

You were trying a new dress in one of the shops. As you came out of a changing room, you really looked stunning. Damn Atsushi knew how much he needs to confess because the cute boy couldn't take this anymore. His heart was beating so much, he felt like his chest is going to tear apart. ,,I'm taking these." You decided, then went back to a changing room to get your normal clothes on.

,,(Y/N), do you want some coffe?" You nodded cheerfully and he took your hand, taking you to a café. The both of you ordered. ,,I need to do something, I'm back in a minute." He said, then left you sitting there, kind of confused.

Yeah, it got no ceiling
If we lay, let the day just pass us by
I might get to too much talking
I might have to tell you something

And as he said, he was back very soon. You already had your coffe, you only waited for him. He gave you a big bouquet of (favorite flowers) ,,Ah that's very nice from you Atsushi. But you already gave me a birthday gift."  ,,I know but I thought it would be nice to give you flowers." He said, blushing. Damn why can't he just say it directly? Why is he so shy and can't just come and say I love you?

It made him sad. You were the one and only for him. So cheerful, yet so understanding. So cute and pretty. He loved you so much so it made him feel like he's crazy. But you didn't understand it. Why? Why did you have to break his heart like this?

Damn, I like me better when I'm with you
I like me better when I'm with you

You were walking through the park and talking, laughing together. It felt beautiful. But the poor boy was still not able to get rid of that uncomfortable weight in his chest. ,,(Y/N)chan, do you... uhm... like me?"

Maybe it would be easier to just ask like this. ,,Of course I do!" You smiled at him. ,,Of course I like you, you're the best friend I ever had!" He felt like crying. You won't ever love him, will you? Or do you really just not understand that he doesn't only see you as a friend?

I knew from the first time, I'd stay for a long time 'cause
I like me better when
I like me better when I'm with you

And this was only a beginning. Every day of that week you spent there, he was trying his best to confess his love to you. But you seemed not to understand. You always answered with that cheerful voice of yours, probably not even understand how much this hurts him.

Stay awhile, stay awhile
Stay here with me
Stay awhile, stay awhile, oh
Stay awhile, stay awhile
Stay here with me
Lay here with me, ayy-ayy, ayy-ayy, oh

The last day. The last chance for him to confess. He has to do it no matter what it costs. Since you had to pack your things afternoon, because your airplane was leaving at 3 am and the two of you wanted to enjoy the last dinner here, he decided to confess this evening. It has to work perfectly.

I like me better when I'm with you (yes, I do, yes, I do, babe)
I like me better when I'm with you

Once again, the two of you were sitting in a restaurant, facing each other. It was after dinner, now you were only sitting there, talking and watching the beautiful city.

,,(Y/N)." He spoke, making you turn around. ,,I'm so happy I met you." ,,Me too Atsushi." You smiled at him. Damn did you not understand it again?

I knew from the first time, I'd stay for a long time 'cause
I like me better when
I like me better when I'm with you

Atsushi stood up from his seat and went closer to the edge of a big balcony of this restaurant. He looked at the beautiful view. He looked so sad.

,,Atsushi. Are you alright?" You were starting to worry about him. You came closer to him and touched his shoulder. For like 3 seconds he only stood there, watching the city. Then he turned around, dragged you closer to him and softly kissed you. ,,I love you." He whispered. ,,I love you and I'll show you the way I feel as long as you won't understand."

Better when, I like me better when I'm with you
