manga spoilers alert in this chapter !!

and here you are again, at akane's grave along with inui and kokonoi. this is basically something you did every week which of course doesn't bother you since you're also close with akane back then. but you still can't help that wave of sadness everytime you see kokonoi kneeling infront of her grave as he keeps telling her how much he misses her and how much she natters to him, something he wouldn't ever said to you.

it felt so wrong to feel jealous; but you can't help it either. you have a crush on kokonoi since you were little, but he never seems to notice you. you knew you'll get rejected, so you just kept your feelings deep inside your heart. but inui always knew. and it hurts him deeply how much you cared for kokonoi but kokonoi does the opposite.

"akane, if you were here, i'll buy you thousands of flowers and-"

you were just listening into what kokonoi always said to the girl he likes when suddenly your hearing got blocked by someone's arm so you could only hear muffles. you turned around and see inui looking at you with a sad look.

"y/n, you like him, don't you?" inui asked in a soft tone.

you had a feeling that inui knew, but him saying in infront of you is just really embarrassing. you looked to the ground as you scrunched up your nose.

"is it that obvious?" you asked inui.

"no, but i guess i just payed attention to you and happen to know about it." he said as he caresses your back.

"say, inui, is it wrong if my heart stings everytime i see him like this?" you asked in a broken tone; tears threatening to fall anytime soon.

"no, it's your feelings. you can't help it, right?" he forced a smile as he pulled your head to his chest whilst his arm snaked around your neck.

you felt his warmth. his scent. he somehow smells like lavender and it just made you feel safe in some kind of way. you snaked your hand around his waist as you cried onto his shirt while he rubs circles on your back to calm you down.

that night you just cried and cried in his arms. you thought that's just an act from him to show that he cares for you. you thought. you pulled away once you calmed down a bit as inui still rests his hand on your shoulder.

he looked at you; still with the sad look he had on his face. he looks tired, yet he still tries to look strong infront of you. he could've cried any second, but he would look stupid. and he doesn't know the answer if you asked why he's crying.

he smiled as he cups your head in his hand; wiping your tears away from your pretty face.

"have you calmed down?" he asked.

you nodded in response before you hugged him once again; a little bit tighter this time. he rests his hand on your head and stroking it gently.

"you know.. i'm always here if you want to talk. i know you're struggling."

"i know inui, i know. thank you." you pulled away from the hug as you smiled to him.

"y/n, i-"

"inui, y/n, i'm gonna go home first." kokonoi suddenly appeared out of no where. his eyes were red and puffy; he was crying. he waved goodbye with a tired look on his face.

"kokonoi, i could accompany you home-"

"it's okay, y/n. i could go home by myself." he shortly said before drifting away from your sight.

"don't take it to your heart, y/n. he probably needs some time alone." inui said as he extends his arm around your shoulder to tell you that he's there for you.

"you're right. if only i'm as perfect as akane then maybe i could.."

"no, y/n. you're you. you're already perfect the way you are. please don't compare yourself to someone else.. it's already fate that my sister is.. you know. it's the past.. it's just him that couldn't move on until now." inui said as his grip on my shoulder tightens.

"inui, why are you doing this to me?" you finally asked him face to face.

you just realized how caring inui has been to you. not like you suspect anything, but it just feels weird. it's like he's hiding something that you don't know. you thought he might feel uncomfortable if you asked this but your own curiosity is slowly killing you and you finally decided to ask him about it.

"what do you mean, y/n?" inui asked; his grip on my shoulder loosen before his arm finally fell back to his sides.

"i'm sorry. i think it's just me who's feeling like you cared for me more than usual." you bit your lips in nervousness.

"no— i actually do care for you, y/n." he said as he lowered his head.

"i like you.. for a while. i don't want to complicate things between us so i stayed quite but seeing you hurting inside hurts me too." he said with a hurtful look in his eyes.

"y/n, you want to move on, right?" he asked.

"of course i do, inui." you replied in a serious tone. you really really want to. you don't wanna feel like this forever.

"then would you give me a chance? try to look at me.. more. for once.."
