"I'll admit, her loving me would be the greatest thing this world could give me," Kaito said, turning back to Elf. "But if it forced love, there is no point. I would feel horrible... Even if it might be worth it in the end... It wouldn't feel real."
"..." (Y/n) looked down.
"Fine then. (Y/n)... It's obvious you want to give him what he wants," Elf said. (Y/n) looked at Elf. "... I can make that happen~."
"I..." (Y/n) looked back down as Kaito's gaze landed on her. You were able to see the tears drip down (Y/n)'s face. She was scared. At the moment, she was scared of everything. For Kaito, for her friends, for the future, loving someone, having someone love her, and most of all, her friends dying if she didn't cooperate.
".... If you come with me, no one would die. Would even get hurt, for that matter. You might get hurt a couple of times, but I promise you would never die. And you would be treated with care," Elf said.
(Y/n) then jumped at hands touching her shoulders. "Trust me... I thought it would be the right thing once upon a time to leave my friends to ensure they wouldn't get hurt. Not only did they make sure I didn't leave, but they also let me see that going through pain alone isn't healthy," Jyugo said as (Y/n) slowly looked up at him. "And we won't let you leave willingly or not~."
(Y/n) turned to him and hugged him. Her head in his chest as small whimpers left her mouth as she cried. Jyugo was surprised at first but hugged her back. "Everything is fine... We won't let anyone die," Jyugo said softly.
"... Alright, stand back. I'll handle this guy," Hajime said, walking past Kaito. Elf looked at Hajime and then walked away. What Elf came after wasn't a fight; he came after for (Y/n) and was failing. He didn't want to fight if it wasn't nessacery. And it wasn't. So he just walked away.
"Looks like he is a coward," Honey said.
"Trust me, that's the last of him," Kaito said. "(Y/n)"
(Y/n) slightly flinched when she heard her name was called. She became quiet as she hugged Jyugo tighter. Jyugo looked down at her. Jyugo then looked at Kaito and shook his head, telling him to talk it over later.
"... Stop acting like a child (Y/n). You know that your parents loved each other, the only way you can have children is to love someone just like they did. If they never loved each other, you wouldn't be here. Loving someone is a special thing. You shouldn't be afraid of something that brings life into this world," Hajime said, walking up to (Y/n) and slightly gripping the top of her head and turning her head to look up at him. "You will eventually love someone, and you will want to be with that person for the rest of days... For all we know, you probably already love Kaito; you just haven't realized it yourself yet. But we have more important matters at hand right now."
"... Jyugo..." (Y/n) said, looking up at Jyugo as she still hasn't let go.
"Yeah?"
"... Your flat-chested. I usually do this, Akira, and she comfier... You would be a horrible body pillow to cuddle with" (Y/n) mumbled, letting him go.
"Wasn't expecting that~" Jyugo chuckled. "I'm a guy, (Y/n). Of course, I'm flat-chested."
"But Kaito is a comfy pillow... And he is a guy too" (Y/n) said.
"That's because he is Asian (Y/n). I'm American. He is skinnier than me... Actually, he is the average weight for a Japanese, if I believe," Kaito said.
"And your the average weight of an American boy your age. I don't see the difference! What does it get to do with nationality?" (Y/n) said.
"What is your nationality (Y/n)?" Nico said.
"Technically, I'm American since I was born in America... But I actually have a bunch of different nationalities in my blood. British, Spanish, Irish, African American" (Y/n) said. (Sorry if none of these are true, but none of this will change your skin color or the effects of the story) "But I'll stick with American" (If you weren't born in America, then change it to how you please) "I also have a German friend, she is super scary sometimes~... One time she locked me outside of her house because I was looking at the stars for too long~... She has anger issuses~."
"... (Y/n)... About... About what Elf said... Don't force yourself to... To-" (Y/n) cut Kaito off.
"I don't want to talk about it..." (Y/n) flatly said. "... But if you really want me to love me back... Then you're an idiot. You should have gone with Elf. You missed your chance because I'll never love someone... I'll never want to date you, Kaito... I know that it's really mean to say, but it's true. I think of you like a brother. Dating my brother would be really weird... I'm sorry." (Y/n) looked at Kaito with soft, gentle eyes. "I don't want the relationship we already have to change in any way. It's perfect for me."
"... Then I'll just have to keep trying~" Kaito chuckled. "You know~... I'll never stop loving you~" (Y/n)'s face flushed.
She looked away from him. "You are stupid," (Y/n) mumbled.
