"Sawamura-kun!" Ai grabbed his arm, stopping him from practicing further.

"Ai-chan. What's wrong?" His fingers rolled the baseball in the palm of his hand as he faced her.

"Uh, I..." She took a large gulp of air; her heart raced as if it was in a marathon. Sweat formed in the palm of her hands as she held onto his arm. Soon, her hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

At this, Eijun looked a little worried. "Ai-chan...?"

"Sa-Sawamura-kun..." She whispered.

"Ah, yeah?"

Ai let go of his arm, fidgeting, while her skin flushed a deep red color. Her mouth turned dry. "I..."

"Yeah...?" Eijun finally stared at her seriously.

Unable to look at him properly, she shut her eyes before yelling. "I LIKE YOU!" When she heard nothing, she opened her eyes slowly and saw him gaping at her. He was obviously processing this new information in his head. She watched his face turn red as panic struck him. He began looking all over the place with no idea on where to focus his eyes on. "Do... Do you feel the same...?" Those words suddenly kept him continuously quiet and still until he finally bent his knees, facing the ground with a completely red face.

"...Yes. I like you too." He covered his face with his hands, dropping the ball on the ground. Shyly, he peeked at Ai through his hands before letting out a scream of embarrassment and disbelief. They both stared at one another and blushed. When they began laughing awkwardly together in order to expel the somewhat tense atmosphere, they smiled shyly to one another.

"We should probably go to sleep now..." Ai suggested. He nodded in agreement.

"Then let's walk back to the dorms together. I'll walk you to your room..." He murmured.

"Okay." They walked out of the room and headed for her room slowly - yet comfortably.
