Prologue
It was the late afternoon. Class ended an hour ago, but Raku alone remained in the classroom. It was his turn on cleaning duty, after all. The windows were particularly dirty. He wiped them down. Raku looked outside. The trees were colored a gentle green. Once, they were flower pink. A brisk breeze ruffled Raku's hair. Leaves rustled. He looked over the schedule once more.
"Tuesday: Raku Ichijo and Chitoge Kirisaki," he read aloud to himself. "Raku Ichijo and Chitoge Kirisaki, huh."
"Fuu... I just don't know. I still love him. Yeah, yeah. I know I shouldn't go against my feelings. But I love Kosaki just as much, you know? She's my sister. I can't just go and... You know? Swoop in and go for him. Do you know how long she's had a crush on him? Gosh, it's been... Four years now? It would hurt her so much. Yes, I love him. I love her too. I love them both. So, I think it's best if we just continue to be friends. I want both of them to be happy. Yeah, that's for the best. Mhmm. Oh? You need to go? Okay, I'll text you later, Fuu. Thanks for listening to me again. You're the best." The call finished, Haru put the phone away. She slouched over her desk.
She really did still love him.
A/N: Hello Everyone! I hope you enjoy reading this fic. I always feel a bit empty after finishing any book, especially manga. I hope I can do justice, in y'alls eyes, to this lovely pairing.
