Remembering the scene that happened between Ann and makes my heart beat faster then ever before. Even with Ann's normal teasing my heart has never fluttered the way it did now. Does that mean that I'm changing? Well nothing good comes from thinking to hard about it, I better go talk to Ann. I jumped of my bed determined to talk to Ann, once outside her door I was hesitant. I was sweating, my breathing became ragged, I took a beep breath and knocked on the door
*Crack*
The door opened from my knocking and the room was reveled to be pitch black, Ann was hugging her legs backed up against the wall with her face looking out the window which was open and could you clearly see the moon. She didn't seem to notice me standing right outside her room, I yet again knocked on her opened door hoping to get her attention. She finally turned to my direction with a little surprised expression which quickly changed back to the gloomy expression she had before.
Ann : Ah, Y/n, is something the matter?
Y/n : Do you think you have time to talk?
Ann : Sure, come in
I entered the room closing the door behind me and sat next to Ann, we were sitting side to side, close enough to feel each other. Her warmth felt oddly relaxing.
Y/n : Umm, Ann what was that back there?
I asked her a bit nervous for reasons unknown to me. Ann opened and closed her mouth as if hesitating several times until finally finding the courage to speak
Ann : T-those w-w-were my true feeling i have for you...
Her awnser didn't really catch me off guard or even surprised me, I've known about her feeling towards me since kids as wells as Kessho's, I've tried to ignore every advance they've tried to make up until this point because I've been scared of our relationship getting awkward and splitting apart. But the fact that I get so flustered has to mean my perspective of her is changing completely, but she isn't the only one, Kessho as well. She might not have grown much physical but her personality has and for the better, she helps me with house chores without me asking, same with cooking. They both miss school when I'm sick and nurse me completely neglecting their studies which has worried me in the past.
Those little actions have made me change, were not kids anymore I should give a proper awnser but I just don't know how. Make one happy hurt another, just thinking that pains me. I can't just consult my heart either, the image of them happy with another guy other than me pains me equally.
Y/n : S-since when have you had those feelings?
Ann : Since you saved me from those bullies when we were kids
Ann gave me a embarrassed smile which caused me to blush and look down
Y/n : You say that but all I did was tell you to punch him and to not keep quiet
Those memories came back to me all at once
Flashback
It had been around a week since I had arrived at my new home. I was walking home back from the convenience store since my foster mom had sent me there because she had forgotten a couple of things, nothing was out of the ordinary, that was until I got closer to the park where from a distance I had manage to hear laughing and crying. I didn't really know why, I found my self running with all my might towards the park. Upon arriving I managed to see Ann my neighbor sitting down while hugging her legs sobbing uncontrollably, out of the corner of my eye I had managed to see kids on their bicycles fleeing from the scene. I sprinted towards Ann.
Y/n : Hey *pant* you *pant* okay?
Ann : H-huh?
She lifted her head slowly allowing me to see her face, her eyes were red and swollen from crying. Seeing her that way made me want to cry.
Y/n : Are you okay? Are you hurt?
Ann : *sob* I'm...fine
She said looking at the ground, of course she wasn't. I'm not a genius and I could tell, I sat next to her without saying a word. She looked at me clearly surprised and then returned her gaze back to the ground as if telling me she didn't want to talk about it, I ignored that and continued to press further.
Y/n : So those kids, the ones on the bicycles. Did they hurt you?
Ann : ...
Y/n : ...
Ann: Yeah
Ann answered after a couple of seconds, one word was all she said but with that one word I understood what she had gone through. I just wanted to help her right now but being inexperienced I didn't have the slightest clue
Y/n : Okay then punch me right here
I tell her patting my stomach
Ann : What? No. There's no way I can do that
Y/n : Yes you can, so do it with all you got. Imagine I'm your bully
She looks at her fist the slow and gently hits my stomach
Y/n : Come on harder, imagine I started saying bad things about your mom and dad for in-
I felt great pressure on my stomach and quickly knelt down while pressing my stomach
Ann : Oh! Are you Okay?!? I'm really really sorry!
Y/n : I'm...fine....I asked...you...to..do it
I managed to say still struggling with for air, once I got over I told her to let her parents know that kids were bullying her. Once she did her moms number 1 condition was she'd only be allowed outside with me or Kessho and as you'd expect since then all three of was would hang out and they helped me get over my parents death
End Of Flashback
Once I had finished remembering that the door to Ann's room opened and standing in front of the door was Kessho....
