Hello! My name is Shiemi Moriyama and I have a question.

Has anyone suddenly remembered anything weird?

[reflash]

[His heart is pounding. His hand moves down her face, light touch until he tilts her chin just slightly up, until he leans down and presses a gentle kiss to her lips.]

[ If Shiemi's face was red before, and it was, it's that much more red now. She can't hear a thing over the sound of her heart swelling in her chest, racing in her ears. She doesn't go up on her toes this time, but she does press her lips gently against his in return. ]

[reflash]

[He pulls back after a moment, his face as red as hers.]

I've wanted to do that for years. [He admits quietly, a little embarrassed by the confession. Maybe he shouldn't say it, maybe it's weird to admit it, but he needs her to know.]

[weedlikespirit]

Y-you have?

[ For years? When had he...? ]

[reflash]

I have. I've liked you for a long time.

[weedlikespirit]

I had no idea.

[reflash]

I know. [He says, and oh how much he knows it.] It was supposed to be a secret.

[weedlikespirit]

Wh-why was it supposed to be a secret?

[reflash]

[Because he loves her so much. Because when she smiled at him he feels his heart will burst. Because the quiet moments alone with her stand out bright and shining as the happiest of his life.

Because if she rejected him, if a confession from him ruined their friendship, he couldn't stand to lose her.]

Because my life isn't easy. [Before Rin awoke, the secrets hanging heavy over him. After, it somehow all got worse.] I didn't want to drag you into it.

[But now it's out in the open. Hopefully it doesn't make him sound like a creep.]
