I don't know when I first became aware of him.

When I first met him, all I could see was his rotten eyes. Now, just thinking about him gives me a strange feeling of warmth and pain in my chest.

"Huh..."

I can't help but sigh. I never thought the day would come when I would sigh over my love life.

He's clumsy, twisted, but helplessly loving. That's who Hikigaya Hachiman is to me now.

I suddenly wondered what it was that made me fall in love with him.

Hmm...

I can't. It's not that I can't think of something, but my mind is filled with his usual unflattering twistedness. But I don't mind. I don't hate him at all. I know him.

I know that he's actually very sensitive, kind, and very timid, just like me.

I'm not talking about his looks, of course. Of course, I'm not talking about his looks, although I think he's actually one of the good-looking ones if you look closely...

Oh my god, this is like me saying I'm a pretty girl.

This is a bit off topic, but I think Hikigaya-kun and I are very similar. When I'm talking to him or Yuigahama-san, the words come out naturally, but when I'm talking to people in my class who I try to avoid talking to, I can't have a normal conversation. I can't help but look at her from above, and an invisible wall is built up.

From what I've heard from Yuigahama-san, his communication skills are also terribly poor. He's probably below me.

"What are you talking about?"

"Kyaaa!"

When I was thinking of something rude, Hikigaya-kun's face was right in front of me. The distance was about 10cm.

"I was just thinking about you, that's all. I was just thinking about you. Are you trying to corrupt my eyes too?" I noticed that there was something wrong with him.

"What did you just say?" He repeated it again, I'm thinking that he must be M if he wanted to be told that awful thing one more time.

"So I was thinking about you...!" It wasn't until I was inside my chest that I realized that I had made a terrible mistake.

"Are you okay? Your face is quite red."

I tried to think of some excuse, but it didn't matter anymore.

My head was filled with his scent, and I was so happy that I felt like my heart was going to burst.

I didn't say another word and surrendered myself to his chest.
