Alice- Yes, I agree. That one phrase in particular was rough so I went and fixed it. However, I try to keep a decent amount of Japanese in the story simply because of the different feel and overall meaning that can come from a word that cannot be expressed in English. I'll try to make it less cringe-worthy though

Woah. Okay. I didn't expect that...

I watched as Kazuto stayed in his position, face glued to the floor begging for... Mercy? Forgiveness? Acceptance? Probably a mix.

The girls had shocked expressions adorning their faces as well as they stared at the boy. After a moment of stillness, one girl stepped forward, walking towards him and getting on her knees as well, placing a hand on the crown of his head. Warily, he peeked his head up, meeting a soft and caring smile. More confident, he began to sit up but was pulled into a hug by the chestnut-haired girl, her arms holding him close and not letting go.

The silent 'aw' moment was followed by a whispered, "We forgive you, baka." I couldn't help but smile at the sight in front of me. Without hesitation, the brunette came forward as well, joining the hug and ruffling his hair a bit. Last, after a pause of consideration and doubt, the pig-tailed girl delicately trotted over and, still unsure, wrapped her arms around the boy as well.

Calming himself, I watched my brother smile blissfully and hold all three of them close. "Thanks guys... I'll make it up to you somehow."

About to speak up, I was taken off guard as Rika popped her head up a bit and raised an eyebrow suggestively. Oh no… "So you'll do anything? Realllllllyyyyyyy?"

At that, Keiko retracted her arms and stood thoroughly embarrassed while Asuna stared aghast and horrified at what the blunt girl was trying to say out in the open.

What...now? I mean... I can't blame... them. They love him like I do... I found myself staring at my fingers which were fidgetingly intertwining and lacing around themselves. They... love him. Wouldn't be fair. Not fair, not fair, not fair. "I-I-I'll leave you guys alone." Suddenly I ended up rushing past the group in a haste, needing to get away. I have to leave now or I'll change my mind... Love him.

Closing the door behind me, I was granted the glance of the outspoken girl forcing her lips onto the surprised teen. ! Racing heart, I closed my door and lay on my bed, wanting to disappear but not willing to do anything to stop my mind. I could put on music, read, play ALO, or anything. But I didn't. I sat there, reeling and losing my mind.
