8. The Confession

One day, Madoka invited Mitsuki out for lunch. Mitsuki accepted the invitation without hesitation. They went to a café nearby the studio and talked for hours while eating. Even though Madoka hated Mitsuki and were rivals, they seem to have gotten closer after Mitsuki came back. Madoka kept flirting with Mitsuki while they were at the café but Mitsuki just didn't notice. Madoka was quite disappointed that she couldn't tell her how she felt even though they sat there for hours. On the other hand, Mitsuki actually notices that Madoka's eyes have not been off hers since they reached the café. She also noticed that Madoka kept touching and holding her hand while they were chatting. But for some reason, Mitsuki could keep herself calm.

After their lunch, they went to the studio and went separate ways. Madoka couldn't concentrate for the whole day for her mind was filled with the thoughts of Mitsuki. Every time Madoka did something, Mitsuki will appear in her mind. She turned out so badly until even her producer; Takasu-san knew that something was wrong with her. She was let off early and she went home. Even though Gun-chan was only a pig, he understood Madoka very well. When Madoka was confessing the fact that she has feelings towards Mitsuki, Gun-chan tried very hard to comfort her. She decided to tell Mitsuki but just didn't know when.

She went back to the studio and sat at the cafeteria as she waited for Mitsuki to finish her recording session. She sat there for an hour and when she decided to leave, Mitsuki came out and saw her.

Mitsuki: Madoka-chan! What are you doing here so late? I thought you left real early today? Takasu-san told me that you weren't feeling well and I thought of visiting you later. But now, you're here. Let's walk back together :)

Madoka: I was just waiting for you to finish work. I don't really know why though. I'm feeling much better already. Let's not worry about that and let's start walking before it gets to late. It might just get too dark and we might bang onto a pole on the way back.

Mitsuki: Ok!

Madoka: Wanna come and sleep over at my place tonight? It's been so long since I had anyone visiting me. It'll be fun to have you round!

Mitsuki: Sure! I have nothing and no one at home anyway...

The time they spent to walk seemed like a long time to Madoka. She really enjoyed spending time with Mitsuki and she treasured them as well. They walked and walked and they finally reached Madoka's house. When Mitsuki was in Madoka's room, Madoka couldn't stand it anymore and her feelings were all blurted out. She started by pinning Mitsuki onto the wall with both hands so that Mitsuki had nowhere to run. Then Madoka started kissing her passionately on her lips. Madoka's hands were soon wrapped around Mitsuki. Mitsuki tried hard to release herself from Madoka but her grip on Mitsuki was too hard. When Mitsuki finally released herself from Madoka, Mitsuki's face was filled with shock and fear at the same time.

Madoka: Mitsuki... ano... gomen!!! Hontoni gomen! I just can't control this anymore. My feelings for you grew just when you came back and now I can't control it anymore! Mitsuki, the fact is that I... I've loved you since you were 12! I wasn't jealous of you that time! I was just attracted to you! I can't help it anymore.

Mitsuki: Madoka-chan... what are you talking about? I don't understand...

Madoka: Don't you understand by now? MITSUKI I LOVE YOU!!!

Madoka wanted to kiss Mitsuki again but Mitsuki pushed her away. Mitsuki ran out through her door as Madoka fell or her knees with her hands covering her face as she cried. She regret on what she did.

On that night, Madoka thought of committing suicide but Gun-chan stopped her. She then noticed that she still hasn't given up hope yet. She still loved Mitsuki and will try her best to make Mitsuki hers. She called Mitsuki on the same night.

Madoka: I know you might be afraid of me now but please don't put down the phone and listen to what I have to say. Even if you rejected my love you won't stop me from loving you. And even if you rejected me, even after all those happened, would our friendship still be there?

Mitsuki: Madoka... our friendship will never die... But if you want to start as lovers, gomen demo I'll reject it.

Madoka: Then, our friendship will be everlasting but I won't give up on you so easily!
