~Kirito's POV~
"Good question..." I said, raising a hand up to my chin as I rested my chin in it, pondering where I should take (Y/N) next. The doctor would restore her memory soon, so I just had to wait before I could take her anywhere. She snapped me out of my thoughts.
"Kazuto... Kazuto!"
"Y-yeah? Sorry, I was zoning..."
"I need to tell you something..."
"What is it, (Y/N)?"

~Your POV~
I wanted to tell him a had a crush on him. I really did. I figured I'd just tell him and get rejected now, then wait for the feelings to grow stronger and keep it bottled up. My cheeks flushed as I looked at him, pushing my lips together.
"K-Kazuto, I-I..."
"Done yet, (Y/N)-chan?" Great, the perfect time for my family to re-enter the room. I watched as my little brother, (B/N), sat on the bed and hugged me.
"We missed you!" He cheerfully said as my little sister decided to join the party and hopped onto me. I sighed deeply and rolled my eyes, lightly pushing them away.
"Guys, I missed you too, but can I please tell Kazuto that-"
"YOU LIKE HIM!?" My entire family shouted, smiling and leaning a little closer to me. My face turned a very dark crimson and so did Kazuto's. We looked at each other quickly, and then I whipped my head back to my family.
"I-I-it's not like that!" We shouted in unison as my family gave me accusing looks. Kazuto turned to me, and scratched his neck nervously.
"Sorry (Y/N), but I don't like you like that..."
My heart shattered. I looked at him, my blush fading away. I wanted to cry. To think I was going to tell him, too. I looked at him once more, and he smiled and scratched his nose with the back of his arm. I suddenly perked up, because I got a huge sense of Deja Vù. I looked at him and tilted my head slightly, not knowing why I had that surge of Deja Vù. It... lifted my hopes, as if it was some kind of reassurance.
"I-it's alright..." I said, trying my best not to cry. I don't think I hid the pain in my voice too well. Kazuto looked at me, and his blush faded away, too, and he looked worried.
"What's wrong (Y/-"
"I'm just tired, that's all... Please, everyone, leave so I can sleep, okay?" Pain lingered in my voice, along with more pain and hate. I raised my hand to Kazuto to silence him.
"Just.. Leave..." I said, mustering a fake smile with what was left of me. Just a little more... Kazuto and my family exited the room, Kazuto glancing back at me once more to make sure I was okay. I smiled once more at him, and the second the door was closed, I broke down crying. I sat crossed legged on my bed, clutching a pillow and crying into it, trying to muffle my whimpers so I wouldn't attract anyone in. Why was I crying? What's wrong with me? What was that Deja Vù just now that kept me from crying on the spot? I tried to remember what I did with Kazuto during the day we were together, trying to remember little useless traits about him. When he cursed, he was in a playful mood... No, that's not it.... When he scratched his neck, he was secretly excited... What did he do when he lied again? Wait a minute...
FLASHBACK
"Y/N, I'm hungry...." Kazuto whined during the horror movie we were watching at the theater with my friends.
"Shh! Here's the good part!" I whisper shouted back, and he just grunted and looked back to the bright huge screen. A pop up of a clown popped up at the screen, followed by a mechanical cheesy laugh, and I felt the seat shake next to me. I looked over and Kazuto had his head in his hands, shaking.
"Kazuto, are you scared?" I asked, smirking at him playfully.
"N-no!" He shouted in defense, and slowly removed his hands from his face and he rubbed the back of his nose with his left forearm.
FLASHBACK END
That's it! He scratched his nose with his left forearm when he lied! That's what he did when he denied liking me!
"Does that mean he does...? Or does that mean that he mean something else? Like best friend of something...?" I asked myself.
"...did he...?"
