A/N: I really need to know the ship names of all the ships
Is this Tarin or Kirika?

- I'm so sorry for the long-ass wait

Kids grow up so fast...

Indeed, that is true. However, some of them don't fully change.

"Taka, you idiot!"

"You're ugly, Kirin!"

One can only sigh at the banter of the two. The said teens always fought for an unknown reason. That, or maybe because they were immature. Though, knowing them, they've grown up well and they've matured.

Kumatsuka Kirin grew up to be a star in the drama club, just like her beloved mother; Yayoi.

Kamitani Taka had his own fun in baseball, all the while trying not to fail school.

Both perform well in school, all things considered. With that said, let us begin.

"Kirin is stu-pid!"

"Taka-chan is the stupid one!"

Like it was somehow scheduled, Kirin and Taka throw the same insults at each other for hours on end. Of course, they'll be stopped, but it's no use for it'll continue later or tomorrow.

"These two are always at each other's throats..."

Kazuma and Takuma are only watching on the sidelines, knowing that they'd have to stop them before anything gets worse.

When will this tedious event stop?

"Kirin."

"Taka-chan?"

The next day, Taka did not seem like himself. It was as if he was possessed.

"Let's walk home together."

"Huh?"

This is a first, Kirin thought worriedly. This isn't the Taka-chan I know. What's gotten over him?

"Listen, Tsurumi-senpai called me yesterday."

"Is that so? How is she?"

"She scolded me..."

Taka stopped in his tracks with his head down.

"Huh? Scolded you?"

Turns out, Kazuma and Takuma told Tsurumi-senpai about the on-going problem. Fortunately that it hasn't reached its peak.

"The twins told me that your childish fight with Kirin hasn't stopped. It's been going on since you were kids, no? Tell me, how do you feel about Kirin?"

"Kirin..."

"We-We're just old friends. That's all."

"I'm sorry."

⚡︎⚡︎⚡︎

Tsurumi-senpai has always been the mom of the group. She just appeared one day and became our best friend. She had the best advices and experiences to share with us. She was like our sensei.

When she called me, she said that I should apologize to Kirin.

"Kirin, I'm sorry."

So I did.

But she didn't say anything.

"I'll be going now..."

I couldn't sleep that night. I tossed and I turned and I wondered, what would she possibly say to me tomorrow?
I had to find that out for myself then.

"Taka-chan, I'm sorry too."

I'm grateful that Tsurumi-senpai gave me that push. I guess she's really like a mom, making her kids get along like that.

Days later, Kirin and I got along well. But something was wrong. There was this tingling sensation in me and I didn't have a clue on what it was. It pulled me away from here once more.

"Taka-chan, let's walk together?"

"Sorry, but I have to do an errand."

"Again?"

Albeit I avoided her, it was a good thing that I didn't fight her.

"How do you feel about Kirin?"

How do I feel?

"We-We're just old friends. That's all."

Is that really all?

Again, days passed. Kirin and I were becoming distant. Deep down, somehow, I was afraid.

"Taka."

"Tsurumi-senpai?"

That time, I was rushing home, thinking that Kirin would catch me. Tsurumi-senpai showed up as my salvation. I once had a crush on her. Well, a lot of people had a crush on her. She's pretty...but not as pretty as--

"We need to talk, Taka."

Tsurumi-senpai made me realize something. And today, I'm going to do that. Not just because she told me to, but because I need to.

"Kirin."

"Taka-chan?"

Kirin looked really happy to see me. I don't know why.

"Let's walk home together, shall we?"

I didn't have to apologize again. I just had to do this.

"This is out of the blue...but Kirin, I like you."

Thank you, Tsurumi-senpai. Thank you for giving me that push.

"Taka-chan...I like you too!"

The End.

A/N: I noticed that not many people like it when I write male readers...but I want to gain more male fans!
However, I might close requests permanently and end this book...
