The mysterious love

"Damn It… damn it… damn it! I'm gonna be late again! Yuri's gonna kill me… figuratively anyway," Otonashi panted as he ran through the hallway as fast as he could. Of course he couldn't actually die, but he hated being yelled at like he hated being dead.

The hallway was crowded with NPCs, with a few SSS member in just as much of a rush as he was as Otonashi tried to swerve himself around all of them. This didn't last for long. Wham! Papers flew everywhere as the girl Otonashi bumped into stopped in her tracks. Otonashi had tripped and was on the ground, breathing heavily. The girl looked down at him, furious, "Would you mind watching where the hell you're going?!" As Otonashi sat up, he frantically tried to gather up all her papers, embarrassed.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry! Here, let me get these for you. …" As he did that, the girl looked down at Otonashi. Suddenly, she calmed down. She kneeled down to help him. "Here let me help with that." As Otonashi looked up, he looked into her blue eyes. She looked back. She was beautiful, with long, flowing blonde hair. She was Otonashi's height, he guessed. He got up. The papers were all rearranged anyway. He extended out a hand, his face was redder than it had ever been.

"I….I'm Otonashi." The girl was blushing as deeply as he was. She too seemed to like him. "I'm Miyuki…" She grabbed his hand gently and shook it. Otonashi thought of the Miyuki from Girls Dead monster, but this girl didn't look anything like her. She was…. different, and Otonashi loved it, whatever it was. Suddenly, he got a crazy idea. He didn't know why he was about to do it, but he blurted it out.

"Look, I know this is sudden…. But I…. I was… I was wondering if maybe….. y…you wanted to…" "Yes." Miyuki let out softly. Otonashi was speechless for a few seconds. "I'm sorry…. What?" "Y..you were about to ask me out, weren't you? I…I think I'd like that…" She continued to blush, as she kept staring down at her feet, feeling as red as Otonashi. Otonashi stared at her beauty for a few seconds more. "Yeah…. So how about lunch with me tomorrow…at noon?" Miyuki looked up. "That sounds…. great." Otonashi smiled.

"Well, I really have to go. I'll see you around." As he turned around, Miyuki stopped him. "Wait!" She murmured. As he turned, he was greeted with the most passionate hug he had ever received in his life. It was at that moment he knew it was not a crush. He was in love.
