Yashiro slammed the bathroom door shut behind the two. Hanako was grinning like a complete idiot, and Yashiro was no better. She felt excited, shocked, adrenaline filled, but most importantly, she felt ready.

Breaking up with Itsuki had been something Yashiro was dreading. But, now that it was over and done with, she was happier than ever. She felt free. She let go of Hanako's sleeve and turned around to look at him.

"Wow- that was-"
"Amazing!" Hanako finished.

Yashiro laughed out of excitement and covered her beaming mouth.

"I'm so proud of you Yashiro."
Hanako beamed at her. But, there was a nagging feeling at the back of his mind.

"First though, I think we need to talk."
"Talk about what?" Yashiro was so full of adrenaline that she didn't know if she could even sit through a serious conversation.

"I- well, I'm sorry about yesterday, I don't know what I was thinking. I've been thinking a lot recently. Please can we be friends? I know that I messed up but I promise that-"
"Yeah yeah whatever." Yashiro sighed.
"What?"
"You say you want to be friends, but clearly you want to be more than friends, Hanako."

"I'm sorry Yashiro. I swear I-" Hanako could feel the panic rising in his chest.

Yashiro laughed.

"But I don't think that's such a bad idea."

Yashiro took a small step forward before leaning up and pulling Hanako's panicked face close to her, colliding their lips in an unexpected explosion of passion.

If Hanako wasn't dead right now, he certainly would've been after this.

It didn't take him long to register what was going on, and he closed his eyes like Yashiro, pulling her into an embrace and melting into the sweet yet passionate kiss.

It was unlike their first kiss. This one was mutual and just utterly perfect. They fit in each other's arms like two puzzle pieces, their lips interlocked like they were made for each other. Yashiro felt the buzz in her stomach and Hanako felt it too. He snaked his arms around her waist, trying to get as close and intimate as physically possible.

Neither of them wanted the moment to end. Their emotions were exposed and free, completely running wild.

Only one of them was a ghost, though. And the other needed air.

Yashiro pulled away, breathing heavily. Hanako looked down into her eyes, a sweet, kind smile sewn onto his lips. Yashiro only felt the buzz heighten. She knew this was meant to happen. They were made for each other. She was only annoyed at herself for just realising this now.

"Hanako- god, you have no idea." She giggled, still only inches away from his bashful and totally in love expression. He looked down at her lips, a magnetic feeling drawing him closer. He suppressed the feeling and stayed holding Yashiro close.

"Hanako, you don't need to apologise. You don't need to apologise for anything. You- I- I can't even think straight." Yashiro chuckled.

Hanako could swear he fell more in love with her every second.

"I like you too. Probably more than that. I only realised it today, and I feel like such an idiot. All of those dates and hugs with Itsuki- I felt like something was missing. It was you. I wanted it to be you. Ever since the start."

Yashiro hesitated for a moment.

"I don't care that you're a ghost. Spending time with you is worth it. Even though I know we can't be together forever- even though we can't leave the school- it's all worth it if I get to be with you."

Hanako felt a lump form in his throat as he listened to her.

"You're what I want. Only you. It's always been you."
"Yashiro." Hanako murmured. He could feel the words rising in his chest.
"Yes?"

"I love you." He whispered, before connecting their lips again.
