As Yoshiki felt Ayumi's head against his chest, he blushed. "Wow you didn't call me a name for once." He said as he looked down at her. She looked up at him with a guilty expression. "What?" He smiled. "Don't worry, it's just that usually you would call me a jerk or compare me to Satoshi." Suddenly, tears began to form in her eyes and she hugged Yoshiki tighter. "I'm sorry for all the times when I've called you horrible names. I'm sorry for all the times I've yelled at you when you were only trying to help. I'm sorry about always thinking of Mochida and never acknowledging you."
"And where is this suddenly coming from?" He said as he looked down at her. "You sacrificed yourself for me. You were willing to die for me, Kishinuma." He smiled and leaned down, there foreheads touching. "I've always told you that... And I've always meant it." Ayumi smiled as she looked up at him, then let go. "Oh yeah, I think Mayu wanted to talk to you." He had a confused look but nodded and walked over to Mayu. "Hey Suzumoto, what's up?" She looked down at the floor. "Well uhh... I umm... I kind of told Ayumi that you like her."
His face quickly grew red with embarrassment and anger. "You what!?" Mayu looked away with a guilty face. "I'm sorry, Kishinuma ..." Yoshiki sighed. "So that's why she was acting like that. I knew she would never actually have feelings for me." Mayu looked up at him. "I only told her that because she told me you were dead and I thought if you really were, then she should at least know." He blushed brightly. "But... how can I ever face her again now that she knows?"
"Just tell her you know why she was acting like that." Mayu suggested as she pointed over to Ayumi. "Alright, fine." Yoshiki said as he walked over to her. "What is it, Kishinuma?" Ayumi asked as she turned around and saw him. "Shinozaki, I know why you were acting like that." "Like what?" She asked confused. "You were acting happy to see me and everything even though that's only because..." She became red with frustration. "Because what? Because Mayu told me you like me and now you think I like you back!? Well that's not true!" She yelled angry as she started walking off. "Shinozaki wait!"
He ran over to her and grabbed her wrist. She turned around and blushed. "Let me guess, you hate me now and you're thinking about how much better Satoshi would be." He sighed and let go of her. She was about to yell but stopped herself. "I don't hate you, you're just being a jerk." She said, clearly fustrated. "I know I'm a jerk. To you... to everyone... That's why I don't have any friends." "Well you wouldn't know any better." She said disgusted. "I know I wouldn't. Thats how it always has been and always will be. I will try to show my feelings, you won't acknowledge them, then you'll run to Satoshi." Ayumi was trying to keep herself from screaming at him as he spoke. "I dont always run to Mochida!"
"Yes you do. Everyone knows you like Satoshi, except him. Everyone knew I liked you except you, but now you know too." Ayumi was holding her hand behind her back, trying to keep herself from slapping him. "Do you know how hard it is to see the girl you love swooning over your best friend!?" His face was red with frustration. "Actually yes." She answered, matter-of-factly. "What do you mean?" Yoshiki felt slightly guilty. "Well what you don't realize is that Naomi and Mochida like each other. Then to make it worse Mochida's younger sister, Yuka, likes him and I'm pretty sure does too and he'd gladly choose any of them over me."
"Well that's where him and I are different. Every girl in the school could like me, but the only girl I would even think about would be you." Ayumi stayed silent as Yoshiki looked down. He looked straight into her eyes.
"I love you, Shinozaki."
She blushed bright red as she continued to just look at him. "But I know you don't like me back so we can just go find everyone else now." He said as he turned around. "Oh and just before we go... I love you too." Ayumi said as she turned around and started walking. "Shinozaki wait!" He grabbed her wrist and pulled her back. She blushed brightly and turned around. "What!?" She yelled embarrassed. "Did you... actually mean it?" He asked nervously.
"Yeah you dumbass you need me to prove it or something?" Ayumi said blushing as Yoshiki just stood there, his cheeks turning 50 shades of red. She suddenly brought her face up to his and kissed him. "Is that enough proof for you?" He smirked. "Not quite." He cupped her cheeks with his hands and pulled her face closer, then kissed her.
