"Mio? You awake?"
"I am now that you called me at… two in the morning?"
"Ah. I didn't really look at the time."
"Clearly, Ritsu. It's two. A girl needs to sleep, you know? Have you been awake all this time?"
"Mm-hmm."
"Go to sleep. We have school tomorrow."
"W-wait, Mio! Don't hang up. I called you because I wanted you to come over."
"At two in the morning?"
"Yes, at two in the morning. I want to have pizza with you."
"Are you crazy, Ritsu? Why?"
"Just because. You're awake now, right? Doesn't it take a long time to fall back asleep for you? Might as well come over then. We can even watch a movie."
"I honestly think you need to go to sleep."
"I can't, even if I tried. Just come over, please?"
"You… Fine. Let me get ready. I'll be over in ten."
"Got it! I'll go get the pizza ready!"
"It better be when I get there."
"Mio?"
"Hmm?"
"D-"
"Don't talk with your mouth full. Finish the pizza then talk."
"Yeah, yeah, done it. Do you want to stay over for the night?"
"Why'd you ask?"
"Do you?"
"I guess… Sure."
"Thanks."
"Ritsu, are you alright? You've been acting a little weird."
"No, no, I'm alright. I just felt a little lonely, that's all."
"Are you, still?"
"Of course not! You're here with me."
"D-don't phrase it like that. It makes you seem like you only called me to keep you company, when you simply wanted to eat pizza and watch a movie."
"That's not necessarily false. I did call because I wanted to be with you."
"I understand that, but-"
"Actually, the pizza thing was originally a joke. I seriously just wanted to be with you."
"Ritsu…"
"Yeah, I know. There's been something that's bothering me and I'm not telling you. I know you see that."
"Why? Why don't you just tell me now?"
"I don't think I'll ever be able to say it. It concerns us both, and I don't want to ruin anything between us."
"…"
"Sorry, Mio."
"No, that's alright. When you're ready, tell me. I won't push."
"Even if it may be never?"
"Even if you never tell me. I'll wait."
