(First off, i wanna apologize for the inactivities these past few weeks, i've been busy with work but here it is, a brand new chapter. Enjoy)
After the event that happens the day before, Ruri tries her best to act normal around Shuu she ultimately gave in to Onodera, understandable since she's her best friend, she asked her about what to do with the feeling when your chest is beating when she sees him, her mind futtered, her head spins and her tongue got twisted just from saying "hello" to him. Onodera looks at her straight in the eyes and reply with a short sentence "that's love". Suprisingly, one sentence is all it takes for Ruri to flip, she blushes harder than ever before, blabbering stuff like "Whaaaaaa...no...i...uhm...it can't be !". While deep down, she know she can't hide her feelings, but Ruri's no ordinary girl, she pushes her feeling down by shear willpower and ACTUAL power, whenever Shuu tries to say or do anything to her, even look at her in the eyes, he gets a punch and get send flying ! But like always, it doesn't last long, Ruri decided that enough is enough. She send Shuu a text saying "4pm, the school's garden, meet me there ! DON'T YOU DARE BE LATE !". Shuu didn't know was it the tsundere-ish tone or was it the murder-ish voice in the text that made him go to the meeting spot, he arrived to see a beautiful girl, standing by the animals cages next to the soil where plants grow, with her hair fell long and her glasses gone, Ruri transformed ! She's magnificent, breath taking. But Shuu's strong will has resisted the urge to smile and take pictures of her as he asked her
"So, wassup Ruri-chan ~"
Ruri glance at him, taking a deep breath and say with a groaning like voice
"I think i like you ~"
"You sound like Raku when he first got his tooth pull out ! Haha, but really, what's going on ?"
She was pissed as Shuu still hasn't taken this serious (not hard to understand really), she raged and punch him in the guts then shouted
"IS THIS HOW YOU REPLY TO A GIRL'S CONFESSION !?"
She continued
"Look, i...i don't know ok ?! It feels like my heart's gonna explode whenever i see you, and whenever you are not around, i think of you ! You're like a PARASITE, A DISGUSTING, GAGGING PARASITE !"
Words still as sharps as knife and tongue still as deadly as venom, Ruri then look straight into his eyes and asked
"So, tell me ! How do i get rid of this feeling ?"
But Ruri's tongue and choice of words can never be compare to Shuu's mind, which is also sharp and deadly ! He smile and said
"This Saturday, this place ! I'll show you are secret"
That Friday night, Ruri wonder about what she's gonna wear as well as whether this is a date or not. She can't sleep as she thinks of his slick face, his blond hair and green eyes, due to that, on Saturday morning, she showed up in a white shirt with a long dress, a cute hat which she used to wear when she visited her grandpa...but there was only one problems. Like i said, she can't sleep at all so she looks like old lady with two long bags underneath her eyes, seing this Shuu aproach her and asked
"Hey Ruri...are you ok ? you seem tired..."
"Yes i'm fine, so please, tell me the secret so i can go home and sleep !"
Shuu smiled gently and take her hands, he then walks her to a coffee shop, it's not something out of the ordinary, infact it's the most average and cliché coffee shop Ruri has ever seen, but according to Shuu, he has a special bond to this place. He begins to order and proceed to say
"This coffee shop...is where i took Sensei out for a coffee one last time before she leave school...i was gonna confess to her right here...at this very table...but i didn't, i didn't wanna ruin the happiness she have now for a simple yes no question. I wanted her to be happy"
As he keep speaking, Ruri stares into his eyes and mumble the word "love". For the first time, she has finally know what love is, she finally know how does it feels like...and she finally made up her mind. As Shuu finished his story, he turns to her but was interupted by Ruri
"Sorry Shuu, but...i love you !"
At that moment, for the first time ever, she has seen the whole new face of Shuu, the calm and motivative Shuu is BLUSHING, his face was bright red ! He didn't know what to say so he slowly approach her face and say
"Close your eyes"
Ruri thought she was gonna have a kiss, she blushingly closes her eyes and made a chu~ noise with her lips, she was actually correct...sort of, Shuu come close and touch his glasses to her glasses, he continued
"Open your eyes"
Ruri opens them to see Shuu's face so close to her as if a simple wind can make them kiss, Shuu continued
"This is a commitment for you and me...please let me have sometime to think...you're a nice and strong girl...much stronger than me, so please wait for me..."
As she stares into Shuu's eyes, she realize he is more serious than ever, she nodded lightly and say
"Until then don't you dare do this to any other girl ! Or else i'll kill you !"
Shuu smile and begin to stand up, only to notice the staring and whisper of people around them, he smile like usual and say
"Yaaa, looks like we made a scene back there...shall we go home Ruu chan ?"
Ruri suddenly think "Ruu ? A new nickname ?"
She didn't reply or say something smart about it, she just nodded to his question and started to walk home...For the first time that night, she finally got something in her mind beside Onodera's love life...for she has got a love life of her own from now, she just hasn't notice it yet !
