The week after that, Otori found yet another letter & rose, but this time it was on the Kao Council's meeting room desk. Hiragi asked what the others were wondering.

"Otori, what is that?"

So, Otori told them.

"Secret admirer?! YOU?"

"Otori, that's very unexpected."

"This rose is very well made. It's beautiful!"

"…"

You can pretty much guess who said what, but just in case: Akatsuki, Sazanami, Yuzuriha, and Hiragi. Hiragi quickly got over the initial shock of his brother having a potential boyfriend.

"Ahem, let's get back to the meeting."

After the meeting, once everyone had gone, Otori opened the letter. It said this:

Dear Otori,

When I see you smile, your real smile, it's like the moon, the light on the sea, or sparklers. You're so kind, bright, amazing, and beautiful. You're the light to my shadow; at least, that's how I feel. One day, I'll catch up to you, and never let you go again. Here's the last hint I'm willing to give you: Otori, you're my inspiration twice over.

Your Secret Admirer

P.S. Meet me on the outdoor stage. I'll be waiting until sunset.

Immediately, Otori understood who his secret admirer is, and ran towards the outdoor stage.

When Otori reached the outdoor stage, it was almost sunset. Then, he saw his secret admirer still waiting for him with a bouquet of origami roses.

"Did you wait long, Hoshitani?"

Hoshitani looks at him, and smiles.

"Yes. You kept me waiting, Otori-senpai."

"Sorry."

"It's OK. What's important is that you made it."

"I guess so."

Otori sat down with Hoshitani on the stage, and looked at him. Hoshitani looked right back, setting the bouquet aside.

"I never expected you to be this romantic and clever, or for you to know that…"

"That you're the high schooler from two years ago. That you're the one who inspired me."

"Yeah. Sorry I never told you until now."

"It's OK, really. So…what happens now?"

"Well, you are my secret admirer so,…I think you should kiss me."

Otori watched Hoshitani turn bright red as he smirked. Unexpectedly, Hoshitani grabs the front of Otori's uniform, and pulls him down into a chaste kiss. Hoshitani quickly breaks it, lets go of the uniform and stares at Otori, who's stunned.

"Wow…I honestly didn't expect you to actually do it."

Hoshitani turns an even brighter shade of red.

"Does this mean we're dating now?"

Otori smiles, and says, "Yes, and please call me Itsuki in private."

"Only if you call me Yuta."

"Deal."

They sealed it with a chaste and sweet kiss.

Omake:
