It was another nice, cold day. The day after Rantaro confessed his love to Kirumi. And in this moment, 6:32 AM, Rantaro laid awake on his bed, all red at the fact that he actually has a girlfriend now.
( Narrator POV )
"Oh. My. Days.", Rantaro said with a blank expression, then turned his pillow and started screaming, flopping his legs on his bed. He got this habit from his sisters. He then got up and ruffled his hair, trying to keep his composure. He looked at his alarm clock, noticing it's not time for the morning announcement.
He finally decided to get up and ready for the day. He wore his usually outfit he wore yesterday, except.. he tried to look better. He searched his stuff, and found a lot of cologne bottles. He smelt each one, and not knowing which one would be of Kirumi's liking. He thought about it for a deep long while. "Does she even like colognes?",Rantaro told himself.
He decided not to wear cologne. He then look at his hair and thought, he's gotta change it. He styled it in many many many different ways, but not a single one looked right. He put his hair back to normal. He looked at his nails.
No no no that ain't gon do nothin.
He told himself. He let out a big sigh of stress. The morning announcement finally played, and he trudged outside. He didn't what to do. He couldn't look good for her.
( Kirumi's POV )
"I'm late, I'm late! I was supposed to make breakfast early and slept in! Oh shoot oh shoot oh shoot!!!", I said to myself, jolting across the dorms all the way to the kitchen when I suddenly-
"Oof!-" I bumped into Rantaro. Luckily, he caught me just in time before I fell. "Oh, good morning, Amami-kun. And thanks for catching me.", I replied in hurry. But I suddenly stopped rushing when I realized his face, which showed his down mood. I became worried.
( Rantaro's POV )
(Aw man.. I bumped into her first thing in the morning, and now her face is all sad after looking at me...)
"Oh Kirumi. I uhh.. wouldn't have expected you to be in such a hurry for something." I said, trying not to act or look sad."Well, I was in rush but.. why do you look so sad?", Kirumi asked with worried eyes. "Oh uhm it's n-nothing. I-If you're in a hurry, I don't wanna interrupt you, so I'll just go-", I was cut off when she suddenly grabbed my hand before I could leave.
She looked me dead in the eyes. It was terrifying, honestly. It was so cold-looking, I decided to tell her since I didn't want her to choke the words out of me with that look. "F-Fine... the truth is.. I wanted to look good for you today, but... I couldn't find anything that looked good enough for you. And when you looked at me, your face became all sad-like and-" somehow, it was so severe that I started crying mid-sentence. Man, this whole love thing's driving me crazy.
( Kirumi's POV )
Rantaro tilted his head back to the ceiling, covering his eyes, which were practically pouring bowls of tears. Was making me impressed part of his do-or-die list or something? Whatever it was, it's clearly not helping him. But... I don't want him to worry about making me impressed. I... love him for who he is. That's why I'm dating him.
"Amami-kun, please. Look at me." I said after making my decision. He turned his head from the ceiling to me, but his arm was still covering his eyes. I see him sniffling. I then went to him and hugged him, tightly. He was surprised and finally took his arm off of his eyes. "It's okay, Amami-kun. You don't need to look good for me. Just be who you already are right now. That's the reason I love you.", I told him, hoping it would get through his head.
( Rantaro's POV )
As a response to her reassurance, I hugged her back, tightly as well. I know she has something she's rushing to get to, but... I don't want to let her go right now. Just a little longer... As I was thinking that, I slowly dozed off on her by accident. It was just... really warm..
( Kirumi's POV )
He doze off. I picked him up (he's really heavy.), and laid him down on the bench, with his head on my thighs. Soon, I started looking at him, examining his face.
His facial features... He has really long eyelashes for a guy. And his jaw is very long but soft-like. His face is also all puffy and red because he was crying. I didn't like seeing him cry. I want to see him smile more... MAN HE'S TOO CUTEEEE THOUGH AAAAAHHHHHHHHH
Nope, keep your composure and don't yell in your head, or you'll yell in real life. Anyways, his eyes are fluttering, so he's probably gonna wake up soon. I better hurry-
"You're... not gonna leave me...right?..", Rantaro said with his half-way closed eyes. "W-Well, I gotta go make breakfast for everyo-", I said, but was cut off by Rantaro's sudden kiss. "You talk too much..", Rantaro whispered seductively.
I THINK HE'S TOO GOOD FOR EVEN HIMSELF. IS THIS TRULY RANTARO BEING HIMSELF?!!?
He pinned me down like last time, and this time he was more forceful. I started panicking, not knowing what his next move would be. I closed my eyes, scared for what will happen next. Then, I suddenly felt something heavy collapse onto my chest. I looked back at my chest, and he seemed to just fall asleep again. It looks like he didn't get much sleep last night. Or any sleep at all.
I decided that he should just sleep for now. I guess I have to make up some excuse for breakfast not being on the table early. I caressed his head gently. Then I gently touched his face. It's like he's completely oblivious that we're in a killing game. He seemed to look so... safe. I liked that. It was warm, and my eyes started to close. And I slowly drifted off into another dream, that wasn't reality this time.
