Harua

"W-What do you mean?" I batted my eyeball left and right. "I said, you were always my 11:11 wish...I want to be with you forever...Will you date me?" 

'Wait! Am I hearing this right!?! Is it really true!?'

Maki turned away and smiled a little. The snow started falling. "Harua do you know why I like the Snow a lot?" He said and turned around to me. "Though snow is cold, it sounds warm...the sound of snowfall is warm, it makes me feel warm...I wish I was like snow to you, always making you feel warm around me"

"Maki..." I called his name out. He turned completely towards me with expectant eyes. "You were, you always have been"

"Huh?"

"You make me feel warm"

He smiled back a little, the worry in his eyes drifting away. I walked closer to him and hugged him tightly.

"Let's date" I mumbled in his chest and could hear him chuckle. "Why is your heart beating so fast?" I asked him caressing my hands on his back.

"Guess who is doing that" He asked. "Don't tell me that it's because of me."

"No, it's actually because of you" He said and giggled and smacked him a little.

"Let's go to the dorm, curfew will be over soon" I said breaking the hug. He nodded and slung his bag to one shoulder and took my bag away from my grip. "What was that?" I looked at him confused. "I can't see you carrying something so damn heavy, My lord" His voice deepened as he whispered in my ears.

"That idiot" I mumbled to myself and walked behind him. 

...

You know some things never change. And yes, despite us starting to date yesterday, nothing has changed yet. But One thing has changed for sure. I love getting up everyday, excited to see him in the morning when he comes to pick me up. Fixing my hair and wearing matching shoes with him, walking a mile extra to school just to hold hands and still keeping it a secret from everyone, which I have never done, it for sure gives me butterflies.

"Harua~" He hummed my name. I rushed outside with a huge grin on. "Oh! Maki, How are you?" My mom greeted him before I could. "I am great" Maki replied. "Maki, did you have your breakfast?" She asked. "Nope" He made his lips into a thin line.

"Come have some with us, I made Pancakes today" She said offering him and seat. I quickly shoved my sister to the other seat and sat beside him, making him chuckle subtly. "Someone is Jealous?" He whispered and I glared back as an answer.

"Wah! My favorite!!!" Maki smiled widely and took a huge bite of pancake. I smiled as I looked at him eat. 

We soon started walking to our school holding our hands together. "Maki, I told you lot of times, why don't you listen to me?" I looked at him with slightly annoyed eyes. "About what?" He looked at me confused. "That you shouldn't skip your breakfast" I sent shooting arrows at him. "Ah...That I don't like to eat in a hurry, I wanted to rush over to your place and see you" 

"You are flirting now too! Next time, if you don't eat I will make sure that you pay for it" I glared at him. "Why are you talking like you don't like my flirting, Your cheeks don't lie" He said with a little pout and pinched my cheek. 

"YAH! Are you even listening to what I am saying!?!" I yelled at him making him scared a little. "Aish! That scared me, Fine I will eat" He said and frowned his eyebrows. I smiled as he started sulking for no reason. "Maki" I called him out in a low tone.

He looked at me with a sulky face. "What?" 

I tiptoed a little and kissed him on the cheek. Ok! Now it's my time to run

Maki

As soon as I felt his lips on my cheek, I felt like a hundred butterflies hurdled up in me. I couldn't stop myself from blushing and getting my face dipped in deep red. Though I flirt with him every second, he manages to make me blush with the smallest gesture like smiling and saying 'I love you' and whispering 'You look good today' or holding my hand. 

How, and Why is he so good at making me blush?

"Wah! I knew it, This day has to come" I heard a familiar voice and turned back. "Hi!" Taki smiled while Niki giggled at what just happened. "You guys...saw that?" I looked at them awkwardly. "What else, you guys were behaving weird for the past week." Niki said and smiled widely.

"Wah! Good for you, I want a boyfriend or girlfriend too" Niki said and hung his hand on my shoulder. "You have me!" Taki popped up infront of us. "Get lost!" Niki kicked him. "AH! Why we both are childhood friends too, We can be together too~" Taki cooed making both of us laugh. Soon Niki started chasing him to beat him up.

I rushed over to the class, so I could see Harua again. I slammed the door open and soon my eyes hovered over Harua's place. "Oh, Where is he?" I looked at the place confused. I walked over to the place and tapped Yuma's shoulder. "Where is Harua?" I asked him. 

Despite the fact that I have been Harua's best friend from childhood, or should I say a childhood sweetheart of his, Harua has a best friend which was not me. Yeah, It was Yuma. Yuma was the silent kid with specs on and earplugs in. He would immerse himself in the book and always tried to compete with Harua.

Yet, my boyfriend ranked the first and he would rank second. 

Somehow they became good friends, I kind of envy him as he was much closer to Harua than I am. "He and Jo went to the rooftop" He said and went back to reading.

I rushed over to the rooftop.

"Jo, you wanted to talk about something"

"Well, I didn't bring you here to talk"

"Then?"

"Will you...go out with me?"
