A new beginning

I hadn't thought about what to say to her at all.

And now I stand here..

When she shows her brilliant smile to me, a blush creeps up my face.

"I said yesterday that I had something to say, right?" I say these words, not looking at her face.

"Yes, what might it be?" she says, no clue as to what I'm going to say.

I hesitate for a few seconds. She gives me a curious look, her hair shifting a bit as she tilts her head.

"Um.. How do I say this.."

"Starting tomorrow morning.. Do you think us being lovers would be interesting?" I say, regretting the way I said it immediately. The blushing was worse already. Why couldn't I just say it?

"Eh?" she says. Her response to that doesn't surprise me. I turn around to her, and I look into her eyes.

"Go out with me, Nagisa." I change my sentence. Her face shows surprise.

"I love you. That's why I always want you to be with me." These last words come out naturally. That's what I meant to say all along. She gasps and clasps her hands over her mouth. Then the tears appear. Happy tears. She nods slowly and all I can do is smile.

For a few seconds we stare into each others eyes, and after what feels like eternity she leaps into my arms.

"I love you too, Okazaki-san." she says, tears falling onto my white shirt.

"Tomoya. Please call me Tomoya." I say, my voice trembling with emotion.

This might be a new beginning for the both of us. But maybe.. This new beginning had already started.
