"Senpai! You're late! Hmph!"
"Sorry, Tama-chan. I kinda got lost along the way." Kyolo said, rubbing the back of his head.
Tamaki smiled softly and rushed over to Kyolo, grabbing his hand in hers. "Well that's okay, senpai. I know you're dull and inexperienced, but your new girlfriend is gonna show you the way!"
"I'm not sure if I should be offended or glad," Kyolo smiled at the green-haired girl, "but I'm looking forward to our date today, Tama-chan."
~Two weeks ago~
Tamaki sat beside Kyolo in the clubroom, reading manga and eating Pocky, as usual. But lately, she's been quiet. Recently, she has been stealing glances at her senpai, Kyolo. She'd blush whenever he talks to her. Her heart would start to race when he gets close to her. Tamaki never expected to feel this way towards Kyolo. He's always been kind to her, even though he teases her sometimes. At that time, Tamaki wasn't sure what this feeling exactly was, but she was sure that this feeling was for Kyolo and for him alone.
She turned to Megumi, the youngest one in the club before her. She felt that she'd understand since they were the almost the same age, and that Megumi's words would calm her down and soothe her, since she's quite confused about what she was feeling. Tamaki explained everything to Megumi in detail, from top to bottom. "Well, Tama-chan, it seems like you've fallen in love." Megumi said to her. "W-w-w-what!? Me, in love!? T-t-t-that's ridiculous!" Tamaki tried her best to deny it, but after hearing from Megumi, she's starting to realize that she may have fallen for Kyolo.
"Tama, I know that it's hard and confusing," Megumi said as she placed her hand on Tamaki's shoulder," but you should never run away from your own feelings. Because in the end, it might be too late… Do you understand?" Tama gave a slight nod, and Megumi smiled in response. "You have my full support, Tama. All you have to do is tell him how you feel and everything will be alright." Tama smiled up at the pink-haired girl. "Thanks, Megumi-chan. I'm gonna do my best to win Kyolo-senpai's heart!" With that, Tamaki ran out the door with full determination.
Megumi stood by the window of the club room, looking at the setting sun. "I suppose you and I will never be…"
It took Tamaki about a week to muster up enough courage to finally tell Kyolo how she feels. With the constant support from Megumi, she feels a bit more confident than she was before. Tamaki and the rest of the gang were all in the clubroom, except for the only male in the club, who had to do a quick errand. None of the other girls knew what she was going to do that day, and Kyolo didn't know either. "Should I do it in front of the others?" She thought to herself, "Or maybe I should ask him to talk to me in private? Oh my gosh but that's so embarrassing! That's it, I'm going to confess to him in front of everybody. You can do it, Tamaki!"
"Sorry I'm late, everybody." Kyolo said, entering the clubroom. He took a seat on the chair by the table, near the bookshelves as usual. Tamaki was sitting right beside Kyolo. That alone made her heart race. "C-c-can I even do it? Oh man I don't think I can…" She thought to herself. Megumi noticed Tamaki's situation, and thought of the only thing she could do. She poured Tamaki a cup of tea and placed it in front of her. Tamaki looked up at her with a confused look on her face. Megumi said nothing and replied with only a smile. That smile that would calm anyone who laid eyes upon it. Tamaki then smiled back, gaining back her confidence.
"K-k-k-k-kyolo senpai!" the green-haired girl shouted as she stood up from her seat. All eyes suddenly sprang to the young girl. "I… I have something to tell you." She said in a softer voice. Kyolo was both surprised and confused. He had absolutely no idea what was going on. He then said, "What is it, Tama-chan?" Tamaki looked at Kyolo straight in the eye, tears falling down her reddened cheeks. "Oy, Kyolo. Did you do something to Tama?" Mao said from the back of the room, seated under the kotatsu. "What are you talking about, Prez? No I didn't." Kyolo replied.
Tamaki took a deep breath. "Kyolo senpai… I really like you!" The young girl closed her eyes, trying to hold back her tears. She felt afraid because this was the first time anything like this has happened to her, and she was afraid of what might happen. "You're always so nice to me even though I tease you sometimes… I get this strange feeling in my chest whenever I'm close to you, senpai." She took a few steps closer to Kyolo, and looked at him straight in the eye, before bowing to Kyolo. "Senpai, I like you. Please go out with me!"
"O-oy Tama-chan! Don't bow. It's too embarrassing." Kyolo said, but Tamaki was determined. Win or lose, she was going to do this right. Kyolo looked back at the rest of the gang, to which they all nodded while smiling. Kyolo looked back the girl in front of him. Her legs were trembling. Kyolo placed his hand on her head and started to rub it gently. "I'm glad you told me that, Tama-chan. I'm very happy. I just don't know if I'm gonna be good enough for you."
Tamaki looked up and grabbed both of Kyolo's hands in hers. "No! It's me who doesn't deserve someone like you. You're so kind and caring…any girl would fall for you! But… but…but still!" She looked down on the hands she grasped before closing her eyes. It was up to Kyolo now to give her an answer. Kyolo smiled at the Tamaki again.
"If you're happy with me, I'll gladly go out with you."
"Tamaki, you got ice cream on your nose." Kyolo said, followed by a short giggle.
"W-what! Where?" Tamaki replied, trying to see if there really was ice cream on her nose.
"Here, let me get it for you." Kyolo took out a handkerchief and wiped her nose gently. Tamaki blushed softly.
"Kyolo senpai, there's ice cream on your cheek too. Let me get it for you."
In truth, there never really was ice cream on his cheek. Tamaki pressed her lips against Kyolo's cheek, to which he blushed in response.
Tamaki giggled at his expression.
"I love you, Kyolo-senpai."
