You had been Nagisa's closest friend for years. The two of you grew up together, and he was always able to confide in you about his mother and home life.
You even went to the same Junior High School. When he was moved to Class E, he thought you would reject him like everyone else. Instead, you defended him, and stayed by his side.
He was grateful that you didn't abandon him, especially since he had developed a crush on you.
In fact, every day you made an effort to walk up to Class E's campus to have lunch with him.
You enjoyed each other's company. Sometimes you talked a lot, and others there was a comfortable silence.
To get him flustered, you would lean your head against him, and nuzzle into his side. You knew he couldn't resist, and you had also figured out his crush.
You wanted him to ask you out, so you would give him subtle hints such as brushing hands and kissing his cheek. He figured you were just teasing, and over time you began to get impatient.
One day, while walking up to meet him, you decided that today was the day you were going to get him to confess. There wasn't much of a plan, other than purposefully getting closer and bumping up the obviousness.
You saw him already sat down with his lunch, and you ran up to him, dropping down to engulf him in a tight hug. He seemed slightly taken aback, as you usually weren't that assertive.
"Hey Nagisa!" You said, a little too loud.
"H-Hi (Y/n)." He blushed lightly.
"Aww! How cute!" You cupped his cheeks as a wide grin spread on your face.
He smiled nervously, looking away.
"Can you give me some advice?" You asked sweetly, removing your hands.
"O-On what?"
"Well, there's this guy I like, and I don't know how to tell him." You stated, picking some flowers.
You started to make a crown with them, making it big enough to fit Nagisa's head. You didn't look at him as you said that, but he had a disappointed expression.
"Just tell him. I'm sure he'll like you. You're perfect." He let the last bit out as a mumble, then covered his mouth when he realised he shouldn't have said it.
You smiled at him, bring the flower crown to his head and placing it on top. He stared at your closed eyes in wonder. How could someone be so beautiful?
Absentmindedly, he leaned in, and when your eyes fluttered open, you saw Nagisa's face dangerously close to yours. He flushed bright red, and pulled away quickly.
"You...think I'm perfect?" You asked, incredulously.
He lowered his head, upset that he made things awkward between the two of you.
"Do you love someone Nagisa?" You questioned, knowingly.
You brought your hand back to his face, and lifted his chin so he was looking directly at you.
"I – eh...please go out with me!" He panicked, red-faced.
You giggled cutely, and latched your lips on to his. It only lasted a few seconds, but when you pulled away, there were bright smiles on both of your faces.
