(Rui's POV)

The next day, we started planning our next show

Tsukasa
... And we can do it like this-
What are you staring at me for?
Are you even listening?

"Go on, I'm listening and watching"

(Tsukasa's POV)

Something's not right, he's a lot more friendlier than usual

"Rui, what are you trying to do?"

Rui
Nothing, just taking note of your ideas

"Rui, just drop the act"

Rui
What act?

Nene
Shut up and continue

After the discussion, I tried to talk to Rui, but to no avail

Why is he like this today?

Whatever, it's probably none of my business, maybe he just had a good day or was in a good mood

Over the next week or so, he has been nicer than ever

What's going on with him

Maybe I could ask Nene

Nene
I told him to either get even with you or leave the troupe

"He could've left y'know"

Nene
I guess a part of his ideals was to not leave people behind

Over the next couple of days I've been trying to be nice with him

(Rui's POV)

It's working

Now I would have to wait for a bit and then apologize

Today, he approached me

Tsukasa
Hey Rui
Do you want to have a sleepover at my house tonight?
Not a party, just the two of us

I didn't expect the question, but still nodded in response

We're still not friends, but I would have to accept whatever as long as it's not anything bad

I could use this opportunity to apologize to him, maybe even getting to know more about him

During lunch break, me, Nene and Mizuki are hanging out when I remembered Tsukasa-kun's invitation

I texted my parents to see if they're fine with it

Mizuki
Rui going to a sleepover?
Oooh~

"It's not what you think"

"It's just a sleepover, nothing more"

Nene
I assume Tsukasa invited you?

"Yeah, he did"

Mizuki
Wait I thought you guys hated each other?

"We've been trying to get even, especially with how Nene wants me to"

Mizuki
Alright then, have fun!

After school, I went to find Tsukasa-kun, he's surrounded by a crowd as usual

He managed to barely squeeze out of the crowd and saw me

Tsukasa
Alright, let's go

I hate you, but I love you (Ruikasa)Where stories live. Discover now
