You stared at Hiro, completely stunned. And mostly, surprised.

"Well...?" You heard Hiro ask, holding his hand out. You jut stared at it, not knowing what to do, but since your heart is pounding hard, and your brain is not working that well at the moment, you grabbed his hand.

Hiro's lips formed a smile. He placed your other hand to his shoulder, then placed his other hand to your hip. You two then started dancing with Hiro leading.

Heart pounding hard against your chest, you tried to concentrate on dancing. Even though it's really hard to concentrate considering the fact that you are really tired and you're dancing with the one you love. Yes. You are still in love with him. But you can't ignore the fact that he hurt you, and he's still acting like an overprotective best friend.

"This feels...right, right?" Hiro asked. You simply nodded. But a sudden blush invaded your cheeks.

You can't really concentrate, thinking that his face is only inches away from yours, and you could already feel his breath. You even tried looking at other things, but your eyes seem to like looking at Hiro.

Moments later into the song, you tripped at Hiro's foot, because you can't concentrate enough to look down. Hiro managed to hold you before you could completely fall, but you can't help but feel embarrassed.

A few moments later, you tripped again, but this time, the carpet is the cause of this. Hiro managed to hold you again into place before completely falling, making your face ten times redder than earlier.

"Stupid clumsy (Y/N)!! Can you stop embarrassing yourself for a few more minutes of the song?!" You mentally asked yourself.

Hiro and you continued to dance, and you managed to finish the last part of the song without tripping. And that made you a little happier, giving off a sigh of relief.

As the two of you let go of each other, you once again breathed a sigh of relief.  But this time, you're more happier. Because you can't embarrass yourself again.

"I can't believe I just tripped twice while dancing." You muttered. But it was loud enough for Hiro to hear.

"Don't worry, I'll always catch you when you fall." Hiro managed to say while blushing madly. Why? He's been nauseous from dancing with you, the love of his life.

You were stunned after hearing Hiro say those words. But, like Hiro, you blushed madly as well.

"What does he mean by that??" You asked yourself.

"P-pardon?" You managed to say.

"(Y/N)...You do know that we've been friends for years--almost like forever." Hiro said, putting a hand behind his neck. You on the other hand, motioned him to continue.

"And you do know that being best friends sometimes end up being couples, right?" Hiro said, which made you choke on your own spit.

"Is he pulling my leg?!" You ask yourself.

"And if you think I'm joking, I'm not. And I'm telling you this because it bothers me for the last seven years till now." Hiro said, running a hand through his messy hair.

You averted your gaze. All you could think about is where this conversation is heading. But even though the situation is getting awkward, your heart can't help but pound harder by the minute.

Hiro put his hand by your jaw, making you face him. As you did so, all you could see is Hiro's blushing face.

"(Y/N), even after those years being my best friend, you stayed by my side and helped me get through everything, and because of that, it made me use you. And I'm sorry for just benefiting from all your hard work of staying with me." Hiro said, but paused for a while. Making you hitch your breath for a while.

Hiro put down his hand and shoved both of his hands in his pockets.

"But all I wanted to say was--Oh crud this talking!!" Hiro shouted, his cheeks burning redder.

All you can feel is nausea. You are getting nervous by the minute.

"What is he going to say anyway? And why my heart is beating this fast? He's just talking for flippin' sakes!!" You thought.

While getting anxious about Hiro's behavior, he himself is nervous. Why? Because he saw a chance of telling his feelings towards you. He will confess to you!!

"Do it knucklehead!! Say it!!" Hiro thought. Then gathered up the courage to speak. And he did speak.

"I love you (Y/N). And I always have. And I'm sorry for being late to realize it." Hiro said, averting his gaze, blushing redder than ever. If that was even possible, because his face is getting redder than a tomato could be.

You became stunned. Again. You even hitched your breath for a while as well. That's how nervous and anxious you are. Unbeknownst to you, Hiro is anxious and nervous as well.

Heart pounding hard, Hiro awaited for what response you are going to give him. Because finally, after years of waiting--planning of when he's going to confess to you, he finally did.

Hiro took his hands out of his pockets and played with the hem of his shirt.

"Y-you're kidding right? You can't love me." You said, stammering.

"No. I'm serious. I really love you." Hiro said. His nervousness slowly fades away.

You just stared at him in awe.

"I understand if you can't love me back, but if it's okay for you, we still could be friends right?" Hiro asked with a small smile. But underneath that smile is a brokenhearted man.

"I haven't said anything for us being friends, Hiro." You said. That made Hiro cringe and look down.

"But there is a chance of us being together." You say, blushing madly.

That made Hiro look up to your eyes. And a smile slowly crept to his face.

"You do know that you're mine now right?" Hiro asked as he placed his arms around you.

You gladly accepted his hug and returned it. "Of course I do." You say.

"I love you Hiro." You said. "I have and I always will." You continued.

"I love you too (Y/N)."
