It took seven years, a near-death experience, and a nice cup of coffee for Ruri to learn that she had a crush on her best friend.
It took her seven seconds before she decided to go ahead and start seducing him with everything she had.
"Do you think it's such a good idea to be so forward?" Shun ran a hand through his hair as he perused a book. "I don't want you to set yourself up for a huge fall."
Ruri rolled her eyes. "Shun you got to learn to seize the moment. You may have hesitated and missed out on Yuto, but I'm not gonna make that mistake."
"See, that's exactly my point. I liked Yuto, but he didn't like me. Still things were much less painful since I didn't try to do something stupid and confess."
"I guess it's something hard for you to understand," Ruri grew quiet as the memories came back. "I still remember being powerless and unable to do anything. I like Yuto, a lot. Today I have the ability to tell him so, and I never know when that might not be the case. So please, will you let me do this?"
Golden eyes grew hard, but not at her, never at her since they were separated. Ruri felt guilty for dredging his memories up as well, but if that's what it took for him to understand, she had to accept the cost. it was a long time before Shun answered,
"What is your plan for this?"
Ruri couldn't help but beam and she went to kiss Shun on the cheek. "Thank you."
"I'm being serious, flowers are so lame. A Kurosaki can do better than that."
"Oh please, do you think I should serenade him instead?"
