We soon finished our food and headed back to the station, but along the way Mirio had found an arcade and pulled us inside.
"Let's see if they have one of those photo booths" Nejire squealed excitedly pulling on my arm.
We made our way to the bottom floor of the building, chose a photo booth and all squeezed tightly inside.
Tamaki was pressed against me and it made my heart start to race a little being so close to him, even though we'd been this close before being next to him in public this close made me nervous.
"Let's plan out our poses first! Let's do a stupid one for the first shot, then a cute one, a smiling one and lastly let's do whatever want" Nejire explained getting way too excited.
I nodded with the boys smiling at how cute she seemed and positioned ourselves in the booth, me and Tamaki at the front with Mirio and Nejire behind us so we'd fit in frame better.
We put some coins into the machine and waited for the countdown and did our silly poses for the first shot.
Hearing Mirio and Nejire giggling from behind me having fun made my heart warm, I couldn't believe I'd made such great friends here, and not only that a wonderful boyfriend too.

I turned to Tamaki to appreciate how good he looked as the photo booth got ready to take the second photo.
As I turned to him I noticed he was already smiling softly at me, my heart pounded against my chest, I felt like I was falling harder for him, I really loved him a lot... wait love!?
I panicked a little from thinking that just from looking at him and thinking about how much I appreciated him.
I felt the flash from the camera go off and turned away feeling a little embarrassed for thinking that, he probably didn't feel the same way, I still felt doubts that he liked me anyway there's no way he could possibly love me.
"Smile guys!" Mirio shouted pulling Tamaki to cuddle into whilst I leaned into Nejire smiling big, happy to be with all of them.
The camera flashed and it was soon counting down once again for the last photo and I didn't even know what I was going to do for a pose.
I felt Tamakis hand shakily turn my face to his, his cheeks bright red as he quickly pulled me in for a soft kiss.
I felt so surprised but closed my eyes enjoying the moment smiling into the kiss holding onto him dearly, I definitely loved him, there was no way I could tell him though.

We parted slowly looking into each other's eyes, I felt so hungry for his lips more though I just wanted to continue kissing him and feeling closer to him.
"Ugh get a room" Mirio scrunched his nose up laughing as he left the booth.
Tamaki blushed at Mirios words as Nejire patted his back "ignore him it was cute!" She smiled at us.

We waited for our photos to come out of the machine after decorating them with stickers and words on the screen together.
"This is so cute!! It's going on my wall" I smiled holding the photos close to my heart looking down to admire the photo of Tamaki kissing me.
"You look so lost in thought here, what were you thinking about?" Mirio asked pointing to the photo of me blushing at Tamaki ... oh!
That must have been when I thought about me being in love with him.
I couldn't tell them that! "I-I'm not sure" I lied looking away from them all nervously.
Mirio smirked "oh, she was probably thinking something dirty, her cheeks are red!" Mirio joked.
Tamaki clasped my hand in his and smiled "typical Mirio, his first thoughts are always dirty" Tamaki tried to reassure me.
I rolled my eyes at Mirio and after we played a few fun arcade games we headed back to the dorms hiding our presents away for each other.

I left my room soon after and headed to Nejires feeling a little awkward with how I felt, I needed to know if this was normal or if she knew how Tamaki felt, I just felt so overwhelmed.
We sat down on the edge of her bed and chatted about how fun the day was as I tried to build up the courage to talk about my feelings.
"N-Nejire, could I ask you something?" I blushed not able to look her in the eyes properly.
She noticed I was nervous and looked at me curiously, her expression changing from excited to slightly worried as she clasped my hands in hers "what is it?" She asked.
"I-it's about Tamaki" I blushed trying to figure out how to describe how I was feeling, it felt embarrassing to admit I'd fallen in love with him so deeply so fast.
"Huh! You don't want to break up with him do you!? He'd be devastated please rethink it!!" She worried.
"What!? No it's not that! More like the opposite really" I blushed more as my heart began to race, even talking to her about it made me anxious I couldn't even begin to imagine how I'd tell Tamaki.
Although I couldn't believe she thought I was trying to say I wanted to break up with him.
"Phew!" She giggled, I loved that she cared so much for her friends though especially Tamaki, she was a great friend.
"W-well, I just feel so lucky and warm inside when I'm around him, or if I even think about him, I don't ever want to lose him or be apart from him, I never even thought I'd get to be with him..." I trailed off smiling softly to myself sighing as I thought about him, the way he smiled today made my heart beat harder.

Nejire smiled "you love him right? That's what you're trying to say, I've thought this before you were with him so don't be embarrassed".
I looked up at her a little surprised "I-I ... that's what I wanted to ask you, don't you think it's a little early for me to be feeling and thinking this way? Wouldn't he think I was crazy? There's no way I could tell him yet anyway" I worried starting to overthink everything way too much.
"Haha I knew it! Don't you worry he'd never think you were crazy, I could see in your eyes when you look at him you love him, even when you weren't with him, I'm sure he feels the same don't worry" she smiled rubbing my back softly.
"I-I really hope so, thanks for listening to me" I fidgeted with my hands in my lap awkwardly.
"No worries! I know you'd help me once I have someone to love" she nudged me winking playfully.
