"I love you"

"You're the best out of all the people in the world"

VERACITY

Kiba always says something like this so easily. 'I love you' 'You're beautiful' Stuff like that. Most of the time, I get embarrassed, but I'm not happy. It's not that I don't like it. But I'm not happy either. Can I truly believe what he says? People always judge me by the cover, by my looks. 'Oh, she looks weak' 'She's fragile' Sure, I can break easily, physically and mentally, but I'm not like that anymore. Even if he says so easily like that, I won't believe him.

Is he trying to make a fool out of me?

I always think this from time to time. Every time he says things like that. It hurts, kind of. Not a whole lot, but each time he says the phrase, somehow, that pain grows.

"Kiba, do you really love me?"

"Why wouldn't I?"

"Do you really think I'm the best?"

"Of course"

"……Then… What if I died?"

"I wouldn't like that"

"It's an 'if' question"

"I don't want to think about it"

"Could you just answer me?"

"If that happens… then…… I'll die along with you"

Die? Together? That's a lie. You can't give up life just like… that. Why does he always have to answer so simply?

"What would you do if… I died?"

"…" When he asked me the same question… I thought of the same thing. No. I didn't want to think about it. Never.

"Answer me, honestly"

"…" That's not fair. Can he do that? "I would… die too" I finally realized when I heard myself say it. I love him, he loves me; he loves me this much.

"That's good to hear"

"Me too"

"Why did you even ask in the first place?"

"I don't understand you, that's why"

"Understand me?"

"Yeah"

"How so?"

"You always say things effortlessly"

"Like what?"

"Like… how you love me and all those kinds of comments. Aren't those phrases only kept for special times?"

"Did you hit your head or something?"

"What?"

"I only say all these things all the time because I really love you. You understand?"

Oh… of course… "…………I'm sorry, Kiba" He said it again, this time I didn't think that. He looked straight into my eyes and said it. It didn't seem like a lie, it seemed like he meant it. He did mean it. Oh, my heart is beating so fast now… I guess I was the one that was taking it easy. I'm so stupid… Kiba, you always… you always believed in me, haven't you?

"Kiba"

"Yeah?"

"I love you"

"……Me too"

His sweet kiss, it sends out all kinds of emotions. His feelings, his passion, his sensation… His everything.

I want to give him my feelings too. My true sentiment of 'love'.
