It should have been easy.
Takasugi Shingo knew he loved Yabuki Jun. Falling in love with her had been so easy, so natural he almost didn't notice it as it was happening. But he had noticed it, along with her courage, her grace, and that odd mix of strength and innocence he had yet to see in anyone else's eyes. There was no way he couldn't have fallen in love with her.
He loved her, he knew he loved her... so why was doing anything about it so damned hard?
It seemed like whatever he tried, he wound up only embarrassing himself. If he tried talking to her, he'd say something that earned him shove or a yank on the arm. When he tried showing her, his brain shut down mid-action and he found himself honestly believing he could cop a feel with no ramifications.
He had to do something. He was going to get himself killed if he didn't.
But figuring out what that something was... that was the hard part.
