Rui POV

Excitedly, I sat down at my desk with my letter opener. He sent me a letter again! I'm so excited to read it...

With baited breath, I slid the letter opener underneath the envelope flap. I shook my leg anxiously, ripping open the envelope. I smiled, seeing the paper inside. Pulling it out, I saw a short message from him.

~~

To my dear Rui,
I hope this letter finds you well, as I cannot get you out of my mind, honestly. I've been in love with you for the longest, and will not stop reminding you. Your sweet, melodic voice, your soft and beautiful features are what I miss having every day.

I'm excited to see you tomorrow, Rui. I hope you feel the same.

~~

Blushing, I held the note close to my chest. Wow... I wish I could see him right now. I mean... these letters are weird, but so adorable.

For about a month, I had been getting sent letters weekly by a boy who I didn't know. They were all anonymous, not a single hint to his identity other than him previously mentioning being a man. Still, this didn't deter me from appreciating his letters.

The compliments comfortably sat in my heart, warming me up when I was sad. I could simply think about what this anonymous classmate wrote to me and cheer up. I wanted to meet him so much, but at the same time, I was terrified.

What if he's a catfish? What if he doesn't really like me, and just wants to tease me afterwards? But... what if he really does love me..? He's so sweet. I completely blocked off all negative thoughts, because I was sure that he couldn't be bad.

Now, I'm gonna go to bed... after I get some shut eye, I'll be able to think clearly. It'll pass time until tomorrow.

"RUUUIIII!!!"

A strong voice called my name, completely grabbing my attention. I flipped around and saw Tsukasa.

Hehe, I knew it'd be him. After all, there's nobody nearly as loud as him. I smiled, feeling comfort as he ran up to me. The blond's short legs carried him over to me, hardly affecting him. He looked so energetic and without a care, and for the moment, I felt as if I loved him.

I quickly reached out to grab his hand, yanking him in so I could hug him. "Good morning! How are you, Tsukasa~?"

"Amazing! I feel so refreshed today! How about you, Rui?"

"Ah, I'm doing just fine. I got another letter from the guy yesterday! I read it last night, and... well, it was really nice."

Tsukasa's eyes lit up. He looked super ecstatic, squeezing my hand and cheerfully responding. "That's wonderful, Rui! He seems to make you really happy, so I'm glad he's still going. What did it say~?"

I couldn't help but get excited just by thinking about the letter. I blushed, giving him a smile before speaking, "Well... I've almost got it memorized! He told me that my voice is, 'melodic,' and my features are 'beautiful'! I really appreciate all of his compliments!"

"Hehe. He's definitely passionate. I'm sure he means everything he's said to you!"

"Yeah, I hope so..."

While walking beside my best friend, I peered over his shoulder to watch him show his costume design on his phone. My chin was smoothly set on his shoulder, and I had my hands wrapped around his waist. I couldn't help but notice how intimate the position was, but it was too late to move.

As I watched, I forced myself to pay attention. In the video, Tsukasa was wearing an elegant suit, fit for the role he'd play in our next show. However, a minor detail caught my attention.

In the video, the boy's desk was in frame. On top of it, there was a small, clear, plastic container. I could barely see what was in it, but there was most definitely envelope lining in it.

Now, that usually wouldn't be an issue. It wouldn't be an issue if my mysterious writer didn't use the exact same brand and type of lining that my very own friend had on his desk. I gulped anxiously, hoping that maybe I was just over thinking.

The blond pulled his phone away from me and smiled again.

"So, what did you think? Did the outfit look nice?"

"I uh... Yeah. Tsukasa, you were really pretty. W-Well like, the outfit! You looked good in it." I chuckled nervously as I began to sweat bullets.

Even the confidence in my partner wore out as he sat through how pathetically I stumbled over my words. He looked a little startled, his cheeks turning into a flashy shade of pink. Embarrassed, I took a step back.

"Thank you..! It's only natural for me to look so good, right?!" He spoke up, saving our nearly failed conversation.

I didn't want to stop there, though. We had gone so far, and I wanted to see exactly how far I could push it. We were only a few houses down from Tsukasa's home, so if anything went wrong, he could just run away and save us both the humiliation.

"Actually, Tsukasa... You're keeping a secret from me, aren't you?"

"What? I'm not sure what you mean by that," The boy slowly pocketed his phone while looking at me curiously.

The way Tsukasa shifted worried me. It made me feel as if he didn't want me to know - for reasons other than it being a secret. He made me feel so happy, and I prayed my suspicions had some truth to them.

"Did you write me those letters?" I asked solemnly.

"R-Rui, you're..!" His face turned red and he avoided all eye contact ftom me. A smile crawled onto my face and I realised that I might've been right. "What makes you think that?"

I nervously blinked up at him and spoke, "Your envelope liner. It's the same that he sends me."

"Well, this isn't how I expected it to go, but, I am. I-I really wanted to tell you, but I didn't know how..."

A chuckle erupted from my throat and I held Tsukasa close to me. He sighed and wrapped his arms around me. "Would you want to kiss?"

Tsukasa froze for just a second in my arms, so I rubbed his back to help him calm down. The boy looked at me nervously and nodded.

"That would be great..!"

With his confirmation, I held onto his hips and lowered my head. Tsukasa closed his eyes and touched my shoulders very delicately. My fingers twitched along the hem of his pants as I anxiously pressed our lips together.

I had been waiting a lifetime for that kiss, and it was all I dreamed of. With the perfect person who never failed to make me feel loved. Our lips locked together and I felt a soft touch on my cheek, causing me to blush.

We pulled back and for a few seconds, I got to stare into his beautiful eyes.

"Thank you, Tsukasa..."
