Fake it 'till you make it {Arlefuri}

Our future together

Furinas POV

Knowing that Arlecchino was right here with me made my whole initial nervousness vanish inmidiately. 

I took a deep breath before continuing.

"Yes, I have been lying to all of you, just like the rumors said. Yes, I have pretended to have rich parents and I've gained my popularity in school with lies, but I'm going to tell you why."

I glanced at Arlecchino.

"I do not want you to pity me or think that I'm doing this for you to forgive me immidiately, I just need to get the story off my chest and I feel like you guys deserve to know the truth."

After saying that I started explaining my whole situation entirely as it was, not wanting to play the victim card and just wanting people to understand what I did and later them deciding whether they wanted to keep adoring me, hate me, stay neutral, whatever.

Once I was done it was as if a big weight had been lifted off my shoulders. A huge relieve came over me and I saw the people look at me with genuine care and understanding.

I wasn't hated. Everyone had accepted it.

I started to smile widely as the people began clapping and some of them shouting supportive things, although I couldn't understand what.

Then I looked at Arlecchino.

Arlecchinos POV

I was crazy, this was crazy.

Seeing Furina beaming with pride, stirred something up within me.

The way her chest rose and fell, the way she was smiling, the way she was looking at me.

I just practically ran up to her, cupped her face and kissed her right there and then.

Not caring how many students or teachers were watching.

The whole room suddenly fell silent and one person started to cheer, then another one, another and another.

Slowly the whole room was cheering and I felt Furinas arms wrapping around my neck, my head tilting slightly, just to deepen the kiss.

There was so much I wanted to say, and Furina probably wanted to say as well, but instead we let the words be transmitted through the kiss.

I was not going to screw it up twice. I definitely wanted her to be my girlfriend and I wouldn't let some silly doubts ruin us.

Furinas POV

The people around us were cheering and whistling, but I couldn't care less.

For me it was just blurry background noise, since I was fully focusing on Arlecchinos lips and her strong hands cupping my face. My heart was pounding rapidly in my chest, making me feel it would just jump out anytime soon.

After what felt like hours we both realised that we actually weren't alone and pulled away.

All the students had stood up and were clapping and cheering, and Navia was grinning from ear to ear. 

I had done it. I had finally told people, and to add to the situation, Arlecchino and I had reconciled.

"I love you Furina and I'm so stupid for not having realized earlier" she murmured, looking at me with the most gentle and affection-filled gaze ever.
