Dearest Akio,

———— 2 days till Akio's birthday.

As Fudou opens his copybook to do his homework, a paper slips. At first, Fudou thought it was probably one of his notes but as he opens it, he realizes that it is not.

"Dear Fudou Akio,

Before your birthday, I wanted to tell you most of the things on my mind; including my feelings for you, but that would be embarrassing wouldn't it?

Say, if I were to tell you my feelings would you listen?

- anonymous y."

Fudou's mouth dropped. He was shocked. His friends have always received love letters and confessions but he wasn't used to getting them himself, he didn't care about those things, he doesn't have any interest in girls.

He felt a little bit happy that someone has an interest in him, after all he always thought that he was an unlikeable person.

He puts the letter in his drawer and continues what he was doing, deciding not to meddle much and just wonder who it is without putting in an effort.

———— 1 day before Akio's birthday.

Today, Kidou came back with Fudou after school, to study. He wondered on the way back home if he would receive another letter, but the thought didn't last long as Kidou started a conversation with him. He thought maybe he could tell Kidou about the letter but something held him back from doing so.

——— after Kidou left.

Fudou was cleaning his desk when he found a box of his favorite chocolate with a blue tulip besides it. As he opens the box he finds a letter on top of the chocolates. He smiles, knowing it's probably that person again.

"Dear Fudou,

You didn't reply to my last letter so I thought maybe you wanted to listen to me ramble about my feelings towards you.

Akio, I wanna take you somewhere where we can forget everything going on and focus on each other; Your attention on me while my attention is on you.

In other words; I want you to focus on me while I focus on you, Concentre-toi sur moi, mon amour. N'oublie jamais mon amour pour toi.

-> Happy early birthday Akio. Please accept my early birthday gift.

- Y."

Fudou put the paper down, his face was red. He wondered why he was feeling this happy and flustered. Something about the writing, the French, the way they described their feelings for him, made it seem familiar. Fudou didn't know much about French but he understood what the person was trying to say.

Focus on me, my love. Never forget my love for you.

Fudou laughed, he wondered who this person could be, once again, as he ate a piece of chocolate. When he finished thinking, he decided to put the tulip in a vase on his desk. After all, tulips were his favorite flowers.

————Akio's birthday!

Fudou had just gotten home from school, his bag filled with letters wishing him happy birthday and some gifts from his friends. Kidou accompanied him home and sat down waiting for his father to pick him up.

"Hey! Did your mom make this cake? It looks delicious, Akio!" Kidou asked as he looked ready to devour the cake on sight.

"Probably. If you want to, you can eat a piece, Yuuto." Fudou smiled at him.
