i try to beat you, but you're so hot that i melted.

Somehow, somehow Mamura knew that his life would change someday. He knew it was going to happen, but he had not expected it in the form that was - the girl that was Suzume.

All it took were her feather light touches, and next thing he knew a certain illusion was shattering all around him, and all he could see was her. He remembers her frail, warm waist and the next moment he's drowning in a rush of feelings, and a rush of something else to his face.

but i won't hesitate no more, no more, it cannot wait.

It's all he can do to control himself, but apparently it's not enough because it takes her crumpling face and he's wrapping her arms around her. Sometimes he just wants to protect her, but sometimes he just wants to give her space. It isn't his place to be monitoring what Suzume is getting herself into, but he still wants her to know.

i'm yours.

Mamura observes. He notices the smallest things, but he never does anything. He knows that his place is in the sidelines, he knows that Suzume needs to find something out for herself. But until then he'll wait, and he'll watch over her.

open up your mind and see like me, open up your plans and damn you're free.

It takes long, so long for her to face his way. but when she does, it's just enough and the chains are looser and it feels like flying when she's hugging him. He doesn't care in these little moments, because from the start he'd already knew it.

He was hers.
