4 months later

The girls are settled into the college life. They both live in dorms on campus.

"So Konata I was thinking, um" the purple-haired girl swallowed. She said more confidently. "I have an extra ticket to Silent Hill. It would be a waste if you don't accept it because I initially planned on going with Momomi but she cancelled last minute."

"So you're basically asking me out on a date?"

"NO! It's just that I had an extra. Forget it Konata."

"Ok I will come with you."

"Tonight at 7. And don't be late!"

Konata waved at the girl as she walked away and used her flirty tone to tease her. "See you at 7 Kagami."

"Yes yes yes! She accepted my invitation. This is going so well. I hope I am honest enough to tell her my feelings tonight. I have missed so much chances before but now that we're in college, I can't let any more time past me by. If she rejects me then I will have to move on, that's all. I can't imagine what I would do if she rejects me though. Maybe I should wait." Kagami thought. She clenched her fists. "No. Like Konata says, I can't let my Tsun side win. I have to be brave. But then again, there are plenty fishes in the sea. But- but she's only one I got eyes for. What shall I do?"

"Woah that movie was kick-ass Kagami. Super-ultra-hyper!"

"Ye-yeah totally Konata. I'm glad you could come with me. It's not like I couldn't come by myself. I just didn't want my money to go to waste."

"Aw Kagami is afraid to admit she took me out on a date to see a movie that she knows, both of us would enjoy."

Kagami gritted her teeth but told herself to calm down. She bit her lips and sighed. "It's now or never."

"A-actually Konata, there's something I've been meaning to tell you."

She took a seat on the bench outside the cinema. Konata followed suit and sat with her, sipping her smoothie.

"I" She gulped. "I like you Konata."

"I like you too Kagami. If I didn't I would have ditched you."

"No- no that's not what I meant. I like you more than a friend Konata."

The blue-haired otaku stopped slurping and coughed on her drink.

Kagami continued. "When we were in high school, I thought I liked you but I was unsure. It was complicated, ya know? But now I'm sure of my feelings for you. I always wondered why I never had the courage to go and talk to the guys but it was a subconscious thing really. I had always liked you and it was hard for me to date other people when something deep down was screaming at me that "Konata's the one!" That's why I was always alone. Maybe I was waiting for you." She paused and glared at Konata who was studying her intently, so much that she became more nervous.

Kagami continued. "You aren't saying a word. It's…It's ok if you don't feel the same way. I hope we can remain friends, though. Oh Konata, I hope I haven't ruined our friendship."

The otaku now heard her friend's voice beginning to break. She saw tiny teardrops escape the corner of her eyes.

"Kagami?"

"Ye-yes."

"I like you too. And I mean more than a friend."

"You-you really mean it? Konata I hope you are not joking. Are you serious?"

"Kagami take a hint for crying out loud. Didn't you know I always had a crush on you? I tried so hard to make it obvious that I was interested in you. I thought you would have got it when I said it turns me on when you secretly work had. I tried to make it as obvious as possible though you never said anything so I thought you didn't like me."

"Well it was hard to tell when you were being serious and when you were joking."

Silence fell between the two as emerald and violet eyes locked.
