Pink: The Color of Love

"never been happier"

Y/n's POV 

The next morning, I woke my mom up so I could introduce her to my new boyfriend. 

"Mom, I need you to meet my new boyfriend" I said to her. "Oh dear. I didn't know you could get worst than the last" she said to me. "You haven't even met him yet!" I said to her. "I just have a bad feeling, me and you don't have the greatest luck with men" she reminded me. "Just give him a chance" I said to her. "Fine, just remember that I'm Kaoru Sakurayashiki's older sister, I'm the one who taught him how to be judgmental" my mom said.

Right after she said that, the front door opened. 

"Come on Michi, cut me some slack" Miya entered our house. "Hold on, you two are finally dating?" my mom smiled. "Finally?" I asked. "I was going to tell you to ask him out if he didn't confess by your birthday" my mom explained. "Well...do you approve?" I asked her. "He's hundreds of times better than the last one" my mother said with a pleased smile on her face. 

Miya and I smiled at each other. 

"Oh and one more thing, we've been placing our bets on you two" My mom said. "Who's we?" Miya asked. "Me, my brother and Kojiro" she smiled before taking a sip of her coffee. 

Miya and I skated around town together. 

"Wanna go to that old arcade?" Miya asked. "Oh my god, we need to recreate that picture" I said to him. 

We arrived at the arcade and went straight to the photo booth. We took two silly pictures and then one of us kissing. It wasn't just a kiss on the cheek, this time I pulled Miya by his shirt and kissed him. His hands were at the side of my neck and you could see us smiling through the kiss. 

"Do you have the old picture with you?" I asked Miya. "I always have it" he said to me. "I wanna compare the old picture to the one we just took" I explained to him. 

We had changed so much yet stayed the same at the same time. We had the same faces, but we were more mature now. Miya's hair was shorter now and I was happier than I was five years ago. Miya took a picture of the two pictures next to each other and then he did something on his phone. 

"What are you doing?" I asked him. "Nothing, you'll see after" he replied to me. 

I tried getting the phone from him, but Miya moved away. Once he was done with what he was doing, he showed me his phone. He had made his wall paper the picture of the two photo booth pictures. 

"They're equally special to me and they'll always be with me" he explained. "Who knew you'd be the perfect boyfriend?" I asked him. "I know, I'm amazing aren't I?" he tried to toot his own horn. "I'm your first girlfriend and first kiss" I reminded him. "You wish I was your first" he reminded me. "I can't lie about that" I replied to him. 

Miya's POV 

The next day at school, everyone froze when the saw us walk into class. 

"About time Y/n!" Saya said to her. "It was all him, not me" Y/n said to her. "Well I don't wanna say I wish you two the best because I know that you two would be together forever" she said. "I mean, we've always been there for each other for the past five years" Y/n said. 

We sat down together and I held onto her hand. 

Together forever   Sayaka's words rang in my head.

I wonder what would have happened if I confessed earlier. How different would things be now?

"Miya get out of your head" Y/n said to me. "What are you talking about?" I asked her. "Whenever you have that look, I can tell you're deep in thought" she explained to me. "Is there something wrong with that?" I asked her. "No...I'd just prefer if you just live in the moment a little more and stop overthinking everything" she explained before putting her hand on my thigh in a comforting way. 

She gazed into my eyes and I saw how her pupils dilated when she looked at me.

"I'm not going anywhere" she said. 

Y/n's eye contact made me feel intimidated in a good way. I broke away cause I was nervous and I knew I was a blushing mess. 

"Miya what happened?" Y/n asked me. "You know what you did" I said to her. "What did I do?" she asked me. "That thing with your eyes, when you gave me that face and and and-" I was speaking quickly. "...I looked at you" Y/n said to me. "But you looked at me" I said. 

Y/n rolled her eyes at me. 

"You're so bashful" Y/n said to me. "You're the one making me like this!" I said to her. "You've liked each other for years and once you two get together you're blushing messes" Sayaka said to us. "Me? A blushing mess? Him maybe, me no!" Y/n denied being flustered but her cheeks were all pink and I could swear that I could hear heart beating. "Look in a mirror" Sayaka said to her. 

Y/n opened her phone and looked at herself in the camera. 

"It's cold outside, that's why I'm pink" she lied. "Just admit it Y/n, Miya makes you blush" Saya said. "....maybe a little" Y/n admitted. 

We heard a bunch of aww's throughout the classroom. 

Were we shipped that hard?

After school, we went to Y/n's house. I laid down in her bed and she sat at her desk. This may sound weird, but her room smelled so nice. 

"What are you doing weirdo?" Y/n asked. "Who are you calling weirdo, big head?" I replied to her. "Wanna fight?" she asked. "Nah, you'll lose and I know how sour you get when you lose" I replied to her. 

Y/n got up and playfully tackled me onto her bed. I tried pushing her off, but she held me down. 

"Y/n what do you want for- Never mind" Michi walked out of her room without asking any questions. 

Y/n lowered herself onto me and started laughing and I laughed too. Y/n laid in my chest for a while. She listened to my heart beat. 

"Hey Miya" she said. "Yeah?" I asked. "Can I tell you something?" she asked. "Of course" I replied to her. "I've never been happier with anyone else" she confessed. 

I kissed her on the forehead. 

"Neither have it" I said.
