Chapter 2 : Confession

The next day at coaching, he decides it's time to be honest with her about his feelings.

After class, Gojo approaches Amayra, who is packing up her notes. He takes a deep breath, his ocean blue eyes filled with determination.

Gojo: Hey, Amayra. Can we talk for a moment?

Amayra: *looking up* Sure, Gojo. What's on your mind?

Gojo: I’ve been thinking a lot about what you said yesterday. I understand your father’s concerns, and I respect your dedication to your studies. But there’s something I need to tell you, something I can't keep to myself any longer.

Amayra: *looking curious but slightly nervous* What is it?

Gojo: *takes a step closer, looking into her eyes* Amayra, ever since I met you, I’ve been drawn to you. Your intelligence, your dedication, your kindness—everything about you is amazing. I’ve never felt this way about anyone before. I know your situation is complicated, but I need you to know that I have feelings for you.

Amayra: *blushing and looking down* Gojo Satoru, I... I don’t know what to say.

Gojo: *gently lifts her chin so she can meet his gaze* You don’t have to say anything right now. I just needed you to know. I’m willing to take things slow and respect your boundaries. We can focus on our studies and see where things go, but I couldn’t keep this to myself any longer.

Amayra : *softly smiling* Thank you for being honest with me, Gojo. I appreciate your understanding. I like you too, but we’ll have to be careful. My parents are very strict, and I don’t want to disappoint them.

Gojo: *smiling warmly* We’ll figure it out together. We can keep things between us for now and focus on our studies. I’ll support you in any way I can.

Amayra: *nodding* That sounds like a plan. Thank you, Gojo.

Gojo: Anytime, Amayra. We’ll take it one step at a time. And remember, I’m here for you, no matter what.

With that, they both feel a sense of relief and excitement for what the future might hold, despite the challenges ahead. They continue their journey together, supporting each other and growing closer with each passing day.

Days turned into weeks, and Amayra and Gojo found themselves spending more and more time together at the coaching center. Gojo’s outgoing nature was a stark contrast to Amayra's shyness, but somehow, they balanced each other perfectly.

They met frequently in the small café adjacent to the coaching center, sharing coffee and conversations that grew increasingly personal. Amayra discovered that behind Gojo’s confident exterior was a kind and thoughtful person who genuinely cared about her.

One evening, as they were studying, Gojo asked, "Amayra, why do you always look so serious?"

Amayra sighed. "I just have a lot on my mind. My parents are very strict, and they expect a lot from me."

Gojo nodded, understanding the pressure. "Well, you can always talk to me. I’m here for you."

As they continued their conversation, Amayra felt a warmth she hadn’t felt in a long time. She was beginning to trust Gojo, and that was a big step for her.
