"You like her."
Suna sighed.
"How many times do I have to say 'I don't.' before you believe me?"
"Why have you been studying at the university café?" Suna turned to the newly wed with a straight face, not at all unnerved at the course their discussion was headed. "It's so you get to see her, right?"
"It's odd." The handsome young man commented, looking away. "You're usually obtuse."
"Just." Takeo tried to smile. He has known for a long time that his best friend had a complicated personality compared to his easy-going one. Something as obvious as love, Takeo knew, eluded the much sought-after, perfect Sunagawa. His quiet skeptical best friend just didn't see it, he thought. He didn't see that love is simply something that makes you happy. All one has to do is latch on and hold on tight, go wherever it takes you. It's not something you choose and debate about. It just is what it is. "I want to see you as happy as I am."
"Impossible." Suna quickly replied. Then, turning to his best friend, continued. "Your naturally-positive disposition makes it impossible." And smiled.
Reflecting his friend's brightening demeanor, Takeo started to grin.
"I'll be cheering you on, so keep fighting." The well-toned man said, patting his friend's back. "Keep fighting!"
