Chapter 3: Lovefool.

"Yeah, what is it?" I ask, turning around.

"Umm..." Seiji hesitates, looks away for a moment and sighs, "do you remember talking to me last night?"

I blink and stare at him with a blank look on my face, "Right before we all crashed because it was 2 AM yeah, what about it?"

"No, like while we were sleeping... you said something..."

I just stare at him before bursting out laughing, "you do realize that whenever I sleep-talk its all just nonsense right?" I walk over and I put my hands on Seiji's shoulders, "listen, whatever I said while I was sleeping I probably didn't mean alright? You know this."

I quickly back away, turning around and opening the door, and stepping out "Don't worry about it too much ok? Welp, gotta get to work."

Sleeptalking... psh... bullshit I have no idea what he's talking about I know exactly what he's talking about, I remember the entire conversation clearly.

I bash my fist against a nearby tree. Fuck! I thought that I was dreaming all of that up! Ugh, I'm such an idiot! I practically poured my heart out to him too! Unless I'm dreaming and it was a dream inside of a dream, which is extremely unlikely.

Suddenly, I can feel my phone vibrating in the pocket of my bunnyhug, interrupting my inner monologue.

"Hello?" I respond, putting the phone up close to my ear.

"Hey, Dragonfly."

"Umi? I'm literally 100 meters away from the house. What the hell are you calling me for?"

"Because I'm as lazy as you, and because at 11:30 PM tonight you, Ryoku, Seiji, and I are gong to be meeting in the nearby park in front of the big cherry tree and the swingset. See you then!" *click!*

11:30 PM in a park in front of a big cherry tree? What gives? Sakura season has been over for over a month now. I shrug it off, meh. It's Umi... I should be used to this already. Having lived with her the past six years of my life.

(Several hours later...)

I arrive at the designated spot in front of the cherry tree around ten minutes early. Seiji has already beaten me to it.

"Hey, Yuki," he says.

"Sup?" I reply, as a wave of guilt washes over me as I hear his voice. I should've just told him the truth while I had the chance...

"Eh, not much. Just wondering why the hell Umi wanted us to all meet here. We all live together after all."

I chuckle and nod, "yeah! I mean what's up with that?"

"Just Umi being Umi I guess."

C'mon now you fucking idiot! Get your shit together and just tell him the truth! NOW!

"H-hey Seiji, I've kinda got to clear something up with you," I begin, already regretting my decision.

"Hm? What is it?" he asks, turning his head towards me.

I gulp, "w-well... you know how this morning you asked if I remember 'sleeptalking' to you last night? and I said no?"

"Yeah, what about it?"

"W-w-w-w-well I was lying! I was lying about npt remembering anything, and I was lying about how everything I said wasn't true!" I blurt out.

Seiji raises his eyebrow, "Koj, what are you getting at here?"

"What I'm getting at is that, I'm in love you Seiji! I always have! Ever since the twelfth grade I haven't been able to get you out of my mind! I've tried and distracted myself, but it never worked! You have no idea... I thought that I was dreaming up our conversation, but when you brought it up I paniced and said no," I exclaim, before realizing what I had just said and freezing in place.

"Kojima..."

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I just screwed everything up didn't I? God! I'm such and idiot! You probably hate m-"

Suddenly, I can feel Seiji yanking on mu shoulders and wrapping his arms around them, "just shut up, okay Yuki? You didn't screw anything up." he turns me around and looks me in the eyes, "god you're cute when you're all flustered like that."

I can feel myself blush as he places his fingers underneath my chin and lifts up m head. His other arm still embacing my right shoulder.

"The truth is I feel the exact same way as you. I always have," in an instant he tilts my head a bit higher, and his lips meet with mine.

My heart immediately starts pounding so hard and fast it's like I'm having a heart attack as I freeze up completely.

Seiji pulls away after at least thirty seconds, "oh! I'm sorry! That was a little sudden! I have no idea what got into me!"

"...Seiji, just shut up," I say, jumping up and returning the favour.

A/N: Well, I hope that wasn't too rushed and cheesy for you. Also, I can already hear your keyboards typing "Kojima's and Seiji's relationship was too rushed. There weren't any details and its only the third chapter", let me just stop you right there and say yeah, but there is a LOT of backstory covering these two that I'm planning on writing in the near future. I'm just messing with ya, but seriously there is a lot of backstory covering these two and their relationship, that I will be covering later on.
