Reiji
I know I'm ridiculous; you don't need to tell me since Daichi tells me everyday.
But it just seemed like the perfect time to tell her.
It is ridiculous. You are telling her at a time when she's frightened. Ikuto is in love with her, so this makes you hurting him by telling her.
It's not like he's actually in love with her.
...
Wait, is he?
This is why I call you stupid.
How come I never heard about this?!
Because you're stupid. And besides, he probably didn't want to get in your way. But Vlad knew, and so did Anubis. You were probably unconsciously denying it so you could be happy.
"Shut up!" I said out loud. Elsa didn't flinch, so she probably heard my conversation.
I grabbed her shoulders. "Anyway, what do say? Yes?"
I must've had too big of a grin in my face, because she looked away. And she said to me, "...... I'm sorry Reiji, but I've only thought of you as a brother, or maybe a really good friend...But never a boyfriend. I'm sorry."
My heart fell. "And what about Ikuto?"
She paused. I could see a slight blush on her face.
I sighed. "Elsa."
She looked at me, a sad look in her eyes.
"Elsa, if you can forgive someone that quickly after they've hurt you, then you must be the greatest person in the world. You know that I didn't believe in his at first, but I'm starting to a little." I hugged her. "Which means that you're great in that way too. And that you deserve who you want. I love you, but I want you to be happy. If happiness means being with Ikuto, then I won't stop you."
I pushed her away and looked straight into her eyes. I faked a smile. "Don't worry about me. Now go out there and find our baka cat. Make him come home."
She nodded and ran out the door. I still had that painful smile on my face.
I told you it wouldn't last. You were -
Daichi, can you please... not pay attention to me?
... My, I have the sudden urge to speak in German, which takes up all of my concentration. He started to speak in German.
Thank you Daichi.
I looked up, closing my eyes, my smile fading.
And cried.

Ikuto
I was cold. And wet. Cats hate both of those things.
