I am so sorry! I couldn't write for a while because of the many tests and I've got a mental breakdown after that. But now I'm out of stress and ready to write. To make it up for you guys, I wrote an other extra long chapter. But I've still one more chapter after this so... enjoy!

Wait what?! Chapter 10!

Shindou's POV

"I'm sorry..." I whispered, "I didn't mean to..." I repeated while I put my hand on her shoulder, "I didn't know," a few more tears slipped down her tanned cheeks.

"I'm sorry too," she whispered, "I shouldn't have lied to you..." she brought her hands to her face and cried softly, "I hurt him,"

"It's still not to late to confess," I murmured. It hurt saying that, but I knew Tenma wasn't suppose to be with me, but with Tsurugi. I never saw such a great couple together. Their plays were perfect together and they knew everything from each other. And what did I know about Tenma? Nothing. I didn't even realize that she was in love with him.
"It's to late..." she said, "He would never forgive me... and what if he doesn't love me anymore? What if he doesn't even want to be friends with me?!" Tenma was freaking out, "W-what if h-he h-h-hates me?"

My eyes widened, since when would Tenma think such things? Where is that optimist, that naive kid I know? I grabbed her hands and looked her in the eyes.
"Tsurugi would never hate you," I told her, "never," I hesitated for a second, "And I know that he loves you. So get up, wipe out your tears and confess to him,"

I smiled, but I wanted to cry. It was a kinda sad to see my crush crying about someone else and I was helping her. It sounded a kind of desperate.

"Right now?" she asked. She wiped out her tears and looked at me with a surprised look on her face. It was so cute... but she wasn't mine after all...

"You can do what you want. You can do it now or tomorrow, but don't wait to long," I said, "You're the one who should confess so don't wait for him," a weak smile appeared on my face.

"I can't confess right now!" Tenma jumped, "I look terrible!" she was right, her eyes were red and puffy, her hair was a mess and she spilled food on her clothes.

"Maybe you should wait a little," I agreed after scanning her appearance, "You look indeed terrible,"

"Hmpf, you're not making it any better," she said with a smile on her face. I loved to see her happy again. I don't care if I can or can't be her boyfriend, as long she's happy, I'll be that too.

"But," she said, "Thank you Shindou-san. I'm glad you're my friend," she stood up and walked to me, before bending down and giving me a tight hug, "Thank you so much Shindou Takuto,"

I only blushed. But words weren't necessary at this moment. Returning the hug would be enough for her, so I relaxed and returned the tight hug.

"You're welcome, Matsukaze Tenma," I smiled.

Tenma's POV

Were is he? I can't find him. I was running through the building, searching for Tsurugi. I had to find him, I had to tell him. What if- No, don't think about that Tenma. I was still running, towards his room. It should be around the corner...

I ran up to the door and knocked, "Tsurugi?" I asked, "Are you in there?"

No answer... was he ignoring me? Did he really hate me? No way... I knocked again. Still no answer. Maybe I should just walk right in.

"I'm coming in then," I fixed my hair and clothes before I pushed the button. The door swiped open and the navy haired ass-striker was laying on his bed. He was a sleep?

"Tsurugi?" I asked, "Tsurugi," I walked over the the boy and sat next to him on the bed. He looked so cute, the way he was lying here. Maybe I should just let him sleep and leave, or watch him. I shouldn't wake him up... but if I wanted to talk to him I have to wake him up.

"Tsurugi," I repeated, "Wake up," I shook him a bit, but he didn't move. Honest...

"Kyousuke," I wanted to add ¨my love¨ but it was a better idea to do not so. I bended down and wanted to give him a kiss on the cheek, but...

"M-matsukaze?!" … but he was awake. His face turned red by the realization that I was about to kiss him, "What are you doing here?" he asked.

"I... well... I just came to check on you," I lied. I noticed his eyes were a bit puffy. He cried... he really cried. Damn, I really felt guilty right now. I should just leave him alone...

"Are you alright?" I asked instead, "Your eyes..."

"Just leave." he muttered, "Shouldn't you be with Shindou-san right now?" he sat up and avoided my glances. He was really angry.

"No," I answered him, "I don't need to be with Shindou-san because I never was," I sounded way more confident then I actually was. I felt more like breaking

"You never was...?" he asked me slowly, "But-"

"Can we talk this out somewhere else? It might go easier outside," I gave him my best smile and offered him my hand, but he refused and stood up.

"Fine, we can go outside," he muttered while he left me.

Normal POV

"Wait!" Tenma shouted as she ran towards Tsurugi. He walked way ahead of her and seemed to ignore the calls of his so called crush. Yes, he was still crushing on her... no he was still hopeless in love with her. Those are better words to describe his feelings. But he still ignored her.

"What has gotten into you?!" the brunette asked after the taller boy didn't answer her question, "I just want to talk to you,"

Tsurugi stopped walking for a second and turned around, facing the girl. Tenma blushed when Tsurugi looked straight into her eyes and turned around, "What do you want?" he asked coldly.

Tenma's eyes widened, she had never heard him speaking to her this cold. Not even when he was a SEED. The tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, "It's nothing," she answered quietly, "Forget it," she turned around and looked Tsurugi into the eyes, "You'll be fine,"

The boy noticed the tears in Tenma's eyes... the last thing he wanted to see, was seeing her cry, "T-Matsukaze?" he asked worried. Why was she crying?

"Are you alright?" he slowly asked while walking toward her. He noticed the shadow covering her eyes, or she was really angry or really depressed right now. Maybe both.

That was it for Tenma. Asking if she was alright while you clearly could see she wasn't even an idiot could see that. She glared toward him, "Of course not!" she shouted, "Do I look like it?!"

Tsurugi did a step backwards, surprised by her sudden outburst, "N-no.." he stuttered nervous, hoping that he didn't said something stupid again.
"I tried to talk to you..." she started, "...but you just ignored me! I wanted to confess, but it looks like you hate me now!" her voice died slowly while she spook. Again, the tears appeared in the corner of her eyes and start rolling down.

"You... confess?" he said, his sentence wasn't really clear, but the brunette understood every word form the ace striker. She nodded as her answer, "I was about to..."

Tsurugi just looked at her, his brains were still analyzing the words she just said. He understood every word, slowly, but he got what she said after a few seconds. At the moment he realized what the girl meant, his cheeks turned bright red and his eyes widened.

"Confess..." he repeated in his head. Did that mean that Tenma liked him too? Or was it just some hallucination of his brain? He ticked himself on the cheek. No, it was real. Tenma was still standing there with teary eyes and he... he ignored any of her calls.
"...urugi, Tsurugi!"

Again, he didn't answer, he just walked over to her and pulled her into a tight hug. They both blushed at Tsurugi's sudden action.

"T-tsurugi?"

"Ssst... call me by my first name from now on," Tsurugi smirked, "princess,"

Tenma blushed deeper, "K... Kyousuke?"

"I love you,"

"I love you too," and with those words, the two sheared their first real kiss. A sweet, and soft one. This time, Tenma returned it happily.

.

Little did they know someone was watching them form afar.

"I'm glad Tenma, Tsurugi," the person smiled, "I wish you both the best," he turned around and walked back.

"Thanks Shindou-san," Tenma whispered, she smiled in the direction the person just left. With a warm smile on her face, she kept looking at the spot.

"Did you say something?"

"It's nothing," the brunette answered while she grabbed her boyfriend his hands, "Shall we go back?"

I believe my grammar was really of this time... I read it a few times and noticed many mistakes but I'm to lazy to correct them... Anyways, thanks for reading and would you mind to leave a review?
