Hidden Love

Prankster

"You know me and Kira are dating, so please. Stop-"

"Pffttt hahaha! Damn that was hilarious Sora-kun." Tokizane held up a recorder and played it.

'You know me and Kira are dating, so please...'

"Welp, I did my part so enjoy your lovey dovey shit." 

Huh?

"Oh right, Gin told me to do this. Have fun⁓" and just like that Tokizane proceeded to run off with the tape.

Gin.
Gin.
Gin.
GIN! That fucking bastard!

-------------------

If romance was all fluffy and sweet like in shoujo manga's or love songs. I want to experience that. But even though I'm here with Sora, I always feel like he's pushing himself to love me. 

This me who'd choose fictional characters over real ones and can't cook and I'm not girly at all. So why me?

But that time when I confessed, did he accept it out of pity? Or does he really love me? I don't know. If only I could read the future.

"Akira, why don't we put Sora to a test?" Gin told me one day. 

"That sounds cute and all but it's mean, but I'm in." Sorry, Sora. But I really wanna know.

'You know me and Kira are dating, so please...'

Just that? I told my friends I needed some air and went outside. I slumped down to the floor thinking if I pushed my luck too far.

Sora is always selfless and kind so of course he wouldn't mind going out with me from pity.

"You dumbass you knew!" Sora came running towards me, gasping for air. That's rare of him go around and run.

Rare...

'I finally found you.'

That time in the rain and...

'Akira!'

That time when I got lost too...
He ran to me.

"Sou-chan!" I clutched his sweaty shirt and asked, "What do you think of me?!"

"H-huh?! W-what's with the sudden question?" He tried to escape from my grip, is he underestimating me?!

"SHUT UP AND JUST ANSWER IT SHITHEAD!" 

"OKAY FINE! Geez, you're really a gorilla." Sora fixed his clothes and started to speak.

"You're a clumsy little piece of shit who day dreams about fictional characters and read shoujo mangas with that dumb head of yours and you prefer BL over yuri but you still balance out both genres and-"

"That's not what I mean fucker." I gave him a death glare hoping he'd get the point. I know what type of girl I already am I just wanted him to state what he saw in me.

"But you're too kind for your own good and never speak up that much even if you really wanted something. You always try to finish what you've set your mind on and that makes you look cute...Also you never judge someone unless you know them pretty well. Sometimes you act strong but actually those parts are cute to-"

"Stop stop stop!" Again why did he have to go into detail?

"Kira...I...really don't have anyone else in mind but you. So..." I turned my back on him and blushed so he couldn't see. Dammit, this is embarrassing...

"Then say so idiot..."

"Yeah, here we go." Sora took my arm and smiled.

"I don't love you."

Huh? How can he say that with a smile...

"I'm in love with you." He pulled me close and hugged him.

"I'm killing you one day." I beat his back while he chuckled. 

Seriously...it's all because of that note I found...

'Tsumu Akira.I can't stop thinking about your dumb actions. They say that if you write a person's name on the piece of paper you're using, it means you like them. Well, I'm writing this in my math book so you'll never find out, dumbass Akira.'
