Momo: You've been smiling. But why only to me?

Hibiya: Umm... I... I have to tell you something..

--------------------------

MOMO

What was he gonna tell me? And from the tone in his voice, he's surely serious. I mean, he's always like this. But now, it feels..... different.

I looked at him with a confused look. Trying to express an 'Eh' line there, but I was definitely not in the mood to do so.

"Momo."

"Yes?"

"If someone confesses to you, what would you do?"

"Confess? Like expressing each other's feelings?"

I was not into love, because all I do is work, study, eat, and sleep.

"Yes, stupid."

"If someone would confess to me... and I like him, I would confess my feelings too."

Hibiya was looking at me blankly, putting his palm on his cheek. I felt my cheeks turning hot, and I don't know, maybe they are red.

"I see... But what if you don't like him?"

"I would be honest in telling him.. WAIT, why did you bring this up?"

"It's nothing."

He buckled up under his blanket and told me he would just have a small nap. I just ignored it and continued playing on my phone.

HIBIYA

She would just be honest, huh? He thought after having that small 'love' talk with his roommate.

What if

What if she would reject me?

Are my feelings for Momo as strong as Hiyori's? She is really like Hiyori. She's kind, cheerful. She has everything. If I were to tell her everything, what will her answer be?

He spaced out for a while. After a few minutes he felt something was really touching him. He got up from his bed, seeing Momo's face a few inches away from his.

Why did this have to happen? He was blushing hard.

"Baka. It's time to eat. You don't want to sleep on an empty stomach, right?" She told me.

I knew it. She was like a mother. Is this one of the many reasons why I love this girl?

I smiled. "You're like a mom. Well, let's go." I stood up and walked to the door while she followed.

MOMO

Seeing Hibiya smile more often gives me some signs of relief. I don't think anyone saw his smiling face, though. Me being the only exception.

I just looked at him, not knowing the reason why I would do such a thing.

He stopped for awhile and looked at me. I suddenly stopped walking and tripped on my other foot and was about to fall on him.

He tried to catch me but we ended up falling down on stairs. I was above him, and I felt his body shivering. It must be painful.

I suddenly got up and carefully carried his upper body to lean on the wall.

Momo: *worried* Hey, I'm sorry. Are you okay?

Hibiya: *feels pain* Y-Yeah. Don't worry. Ngh..

Momo: Ah, I'll be back. Wait here.

I ran to the Kitchen and looked for an ice bag. It would be best to put it on his back so that it'll soothe the pain.

I quickly put ice cubes inside the bag and ran to him, and I never doubted him. He was still there.

I told him to move a bit while I put the ice bag on his back.

Hibiya: You know... It's not that painful..

Momo: I know, but.. I'm afraid it would get worse..

I was worried. Really worried. I've never felt like this to anyone except my family.

HIBIYA

I saw her guilty face. She was doing this because of what?

Is she worried?

I touched her cheek. I know she was about to cry at this time.

"Hey. You're gonna cry because of this?"

She looked at me, with teary eyes.

"I'm a coward
