"And so I think that was the third failed attempt at a confession, but she hasn't given up yet! You really likes you. I think that means you should ask her out next time, don't you think, Riko?"
Riko sat on the bench by Tsuki, hands on her face as she burned in embarrassment. She had just asked her what You thought of her in a romantic sense, she didn't expect the entire story of You's previous failed confessions as well as a detailed plan over the past couple of months trying to get Riko to notice her differently.
Moving her fingers from her eyes, Riko peeked up as she asked,
"Have I really been this oblivious for so long?"
Tsuki leaned back, putting her hands behind her head as she laughed out,
"I'd say so. I mean, how do you look over all of the hints, the compliments, and the flowers?"
Riko groaned as she just wanted the world to swallow her whole. Tsuki was having a great time though.
At first when Riko had asked to talk to her she was a bit curious at what they could have in common to hang out and chat about. With her questions answered though, Tsuki could only taunt Riko more of her past obliviousness.
"Oh, do you remember last Valentine's Day? She made you tiny handmade chocolates with your name on them, while she bought everyone else store-bought ones? Only for you to leave them in the classroom? Oh man I had never heard You so sad in that moment she got to my house, I was so sure she was going to give up right then and there. Gotta say though, you missed out on some great candy."
Riko threw her head back, still covering her eyes as she yelled out,
"Agh, don't remind me! I still feel so awful about that."
Tsuki smiled at how embarrassed Riko was getting at the topic of You. Getting up, the black-haired girl grabbed her cap, that was before Riko quickly called out,
"Wait, where are you going?"
Tsuki turned around as she kept walking away,
"I'm just leaving. You already have everything you need to know, now it's your turn to make a move."
Getting up, Riko let out in a exasperated tone,
"But, how do I know if she even still likes me? I mean, it's been months since I can think of any hints she's given me. What if she gave up and I'm just putting myself out there to be shut down?"
Tsuki wanted to roll her eyes. Riko couldn't even see the first signs, there wasn't any doubt she would still miss any others.
Stopping in her tracks, Tsuki gave her honest advice,
"Riko, if You could put her heart out on the line time after time after so many failed attempts, I think you can do this one for her. Plus, from the last time we spoke she still has a couple more confessions left in her before even thinking about giving up. Why not beat her to the punch this time?"
Riko looked down at the floor. Tsuki was right, You wouldn't even dare to give up if she loved someone so much. Clenching her fists, Riko looked back up towards Tsuki with determination,
"Okay, I'll do it!"
Giving a thumbs up, Tsuki smiled before taking a step further away,
"Atta girl. Well, good luck with all of that. And if everything goes wrong just remember, this Watanabe is always single."
Giving a wink, Tsuki proceeded to turn around as she walked away from their conversation. Before Tsuki could get very far though she quickly called back,
