Third P.O.V

"Where are you heading off too Nagisa-kun?" Sugino had asked as he saw Nagisa heading towards the door. "I just need a little fresh air very quick. So, I'll be in the garden if you need me." Nagisa replied which he then left the boys dorm and started heading down the hallway to where the garden is at. ("I'm sorry Sugino-kun... I just simply don't know how to explain what's been going through my mind since earlier. I don't know how or why I'd called Kanzaki-san by her first name as it isn't like me to address someone by their first name by accident." Nagisa thought as he continued walking down the hallway until he bumped into his teacher. "May I asked where are you going at this hour Nagisa-kun?" Korosensei had asked his student while eating a couple of dumplings he recently bought. "Well you see... I just felt like I needed to get some fresh air and clear my mind as a accident I caused earlier has been bothering me you see." Nagisa replied back to his teacher about why he wasn't at his dorm. "We all make mistakes Nagisa-kun, so don't let it bother you so much. But anyway, make sure you'll be back in time before lights out unless you want extra homework tomorrow." Korosensei comforted his student.

"Thank you sensei and don't have to worry, I'll promise that I'll be back before lights out." Nagisa thanked his teacher for helping him lift some of the weight of his shoulders and promised to be back before lights out. "No problem at Nagisa-kun and now, if you excuse me." Korosensei told his student as he walked pass Nagisa and down the hallway which Nagisa decided to continue his way to the garden. ("Korosensei's right. I shouldn't be blaming myself for a small mistake as Kanzaki-san herself already told me that...") Nagisa's thoughts were interrupted when he remembered what Kanzaki had told him after the mistake he had made which is causes him to blush. ("Kanzaki-san... she's perfectly fine with me calling her Yukiko?") Nagisa thought which causes his face to go even more red and wonders why Kanzaki is fine with him calling her by her name.

Later

As Nagisa continued his way to the garden, he felt a fresh breeze brush past him and when he followed where the breeze had came from. He manages to find an open door that lead to it's balcony which had an amazing viewpoint which changed Nagisa's mind about going to the garden and use the balcony instead. ("Kanzaki-san said she was perfectly fine with me calling her Yukiko-san... Did she tell me this because of our time we've spent together or is it because of something else? I've known Kanzaki-san ever since I'd met her while I was still in Class-D. So, sure we've known each other for awhile, but that doesn't mean I'm special to her as-") Nagisa's thoughts were once again interrupted which made him hesitate to turn around as the voice behind him was the girl he was just thinking about which even causes him to blush.

"Nagisa-kun... Are you out here to get come fresh air too?" Kanzaki asked her friend while she approaches him as earlier when she had followed the breeze like how Nagisa did. When she saw were the breeze was coming from, she noticed that Nagisa was alone at the balcony and wanted to see if he was okay considering that he was all by himself. "K-Kanzaki-san..." Nagisa instantly turned around as he had spoken her name and sae her standing at the the doorway, giving him one of her warm smiles. "I'm sorry that I startled you. I just wanted to get some fresh air and I didn't expect to find you here. But it sure feels nice having that gentle breeze brush past you at nights like this while you gaze at the stars." Kanzaki told her friend as she walked over to him and decided to stand right next to him which she then looked at the stars. "I have to admit Kanzaki-san, the breeze we'll having tonight sure feels relaxing as I only came out here so that I could clear some thoughts. I didn't expect that you'd have a similar idea as I was heading to the garden until I saw the balcony." Nagisa replied which caused Kanzaki to giggle.

But it's kinda funny don't you think? Ever since the day we'd first met, we'd always somehow cross paths with each other when we least expect it, don't we?" Kanzaki told Nagisa which caused the two to laugh. "Now that you mention it, we always do and it's always when one of us is clearly not paying attention to where we'll going to the point we literally bump into each other." Nagisa replied to her with a smile. "And it's always happens whenever we'll both alone as it doesn't seem to happen if we'll with someone. So Maybe fate causes it to happen like it wants us to spend the day together..." Kanzaki replied back to him with a smile. But her cheeks had turned bright red when she began talking about fate. "Fate huh? Your probably right about that Kanzaki-san as it really does feel like fate had brought us together..." Nagisa replied back and he too also began blushing when he talked about fate. ("Why do I feel like I want him to stop calling me Kanzaki and want him to call me by my actual name?") Kanzaki thought as she felt disappointed on how Nagisa isn't calling her Yukiko when she clearly given permission to do so.

"Say Nagisa-kun... Can I ask you something if you don't mind?" Kanzaki asked her friend in a worrying tone. "Sure you can... But is there something the matter Kanzaki-san? You literally sound like something has been bothering and it's even plastered on your face too. Please tell me what's wrongs?" Nagisa asked the beautiful girl next to him who then turned to him to face him and her expression had changed from disappointment to a serious one. "I know this may sound rude or selfish even. But I want know how come you haven't been calling me Yukiko yet when I specifically gave you permission to do so back at the shrine as I'm perfectly fine with you calling me by my name." Kanzaki told Nagisa that she'd had already given him permission to do so and it caused Nagisa's eyes to widen and his cheeks went to a brighter red. "Y-Yukiko..." Once Kanzaki had heard Nagisa's response, she realised that he hadn't added honorifics to her name which caused her to blush brighter too as it's the second mistake Nagisa had addressed her while calling her by her name.

("Nagisa-kun forgotten to add honorifics to my name this time... But yet, I feel so flattered that he did and most importantly, it was to my name...") Kanzaki thought and it even caused her to go even more brighter. "It's just that... It's just I didn't know that you were actually giving me permission to call you by your name as I didn't wanted to tell myself that you was. So are you... Are you really sure you want me to call you Yukiko-san for now on?" Nagisa explained which caused Kanzaki to smile. "Trust me Nagisa-kun, I meant what I said and I'm perfectly sure Nagisa-kun. You are free to call me by my name from now on whenever you like." Kanzaki explained to him and officially gave him permission to call her by her name. "Then could I call you it in privately then? It's just that I don't want to say it while I'm in front of everyone as they'll think we'll hiding something even though we'll already are." Nagisa told her which caused to laugh nervously. "Now that you mention it, I think you should as they'll certainly get the wrong idea if you say it in front of them... Alright, just call me it when we'll alone then." Kanzaki replied to him with her eyes close and smile.

A moment later

Kanzaki P.O.V

After a moment had pass since I'd given Nagisa permission to call me by my actual name, we both went quiet and we began staring at the stars together. "You know Yukiko-san... I really enjoyed the conversation we just had and I feel like... I feel like we should have more conversations like this or maybe just talk more in general." Nagisa suggested to me and I felt really touched by it as it's also something I really wanted to do with him and now he feels the same way. "To be honest with you, I feel the same way as I really would love if we have more conversations like this as it feels really nice doing it with you Nagisa-kun."I told him with a smile and I could even feel myself blushing... But for some reason, I'm getting this strange warm feeling again that I cannot explain other than embarrassment. "Yukiko-san... Maybe we could... you know... start hanging out again after school like how we used to? We haven't really done anything since I'd came to Class-E and conversation we had makes want us to do it again." Nagisa asked and I could feel the blush on my cheeks go even brighter. "S-Sure Nagisa-kun... I'd really would... love hanging out with you again..." I replied and my face was now completely red as I finally get to spend time with him again like how we use to.

"Thank you Yukiko-san, I really appreciate you wanting to do the same. But I want to let you know that I wasn't trying to hit on you or anything as I already know that it makes you uncomfortable whenever a guy does. So please forgive me if I'd..." I couldn't help but giggle at what Nagisa was trying to tell me as I can't even imagine him trying to hit me as he's such a good person and I already knew he wasn't trying to ask me out anyway. "Yukiko-san... Why are you... Why are you laughing?" I heard Nagisa which I turned to face him and quieted down. "Oh it's nothing, so you don't need to worry about it Nagisa-kun and I already know you weren't trying to ask me out anyway. But, it was really thoughtful of you to be concerned about me as I found it really sweet. So thank you Nagisa-kun." I replied back to him with a smile and that feeling is getting stronger. "N-No problem... I just wanted to be sure that you knew that I wasn't trying anything as don't want to make you feel uncomfor-" I didn't allow Nagisa to finish what he wanted to say as I wanted to thank thank him for being concerned. So I decided to give him a sudden hug and gave him a quick peck on the cheek to say thank you.

After I'd kissed his cheek, I saw Nagisa's face go completely red and he began slowly backing away from me. "K-K-Kanzaki-san! W-W-Why did you...Why did you just kiss my cheek just now? "Nagisa asked me and I could tell I completely embarrassed him by kissing his cheek. "I just... I just wanted to show you how grateful I am for you being concerned about me and for everything you've done for me in the past." I replied to him with a smile and I have to admit, I've never done this to anyone before and it certainly felt good doing it with Nagisa. "Oh.. It's just that... It's just that I didn't expect you to do that kind of thing Yukiko-san. So thank you I guess..." Nagisa thanked me nervously while scratching the back of his head and I could tell he's still embarrassed by it as it's like he said. He didn't expect me to suddenly kiss his cheek. "It's fine Nagisa-kun and I'm sorry for embarrassing you like that as that wasn't my intention. So I hope you can forgive me for it." I told Nagisa that it wasn't my intention to embarrass like that and I should of figured that he would react that way. "Don't worry about it, it just surprised me really as I didn't expect you would do this kind of thing." Nagisa replied back to me which he then smiled and I guess he'd enjoyed it now that he'd calmed down.

Third P.O.V

While Nagisa and Kanzaki began talking again, they are unaware that their being watched by a rather large octopus who has been eavesdropping on his two students while taking notes about what he had heard and seen. ("I can't believe my plan went so smoothly and I certainly didn't expect Kanzaki-san to kiss Nagisa-kun on the cheek like that. I guess telling Kanzaki-san about where Nagisa-kun was heading and telling her that she should go keep him company was an excellent idea. But most of all, it's clear to me that Kanzaki-san has hidden feelings towards Nagisa-kun and I'm willing to bet that it won't be long until their a couple.. Fufufufu") Korosensei thought and after listening to them a little bit longer, he quickly returned to his own dorm with his impossible speed before the two student manage to see him.

Later

In Kanzaki's dream

Kanzaki P.O.V

While I was walking with my group, a small incident happens which caused the entire group to be separated from each other. However, after a few minutes had passed from being separated from the group, I managed to find Nagisa, the boy who'd I'd fallen for and we'll all alone. "Say Nagisa-kun... I know that we try to look for the others, but how about we just spend the rest of the day together alone? Just the two of us?" I suggested as even though we've been separated from our group, we'll be perfectly fine together and I kinda do want to spend the rest of the day in Kyoto alone with Nagisa before we meet up with the others. "Yukiko, do you even know what your saying? It's like you said, we should be trying to look for the others, so why do you want to spend the rest of the day alone with me?" Nagisa asked and his entire face is completely red and I only replied a nervous laughter as I hope he doesn't think too wrongly of me for suggesting that. "Well... it's only because we haven't really hanged out with each other like we used and because we'll in Kyoto. I thought that maybe we could use this opportunity to get more acquainted with each other." I replied and could seriously tell I'm blushing as it literally sounds like I'm asking him out on a date or something. "Alright, I'll go along with your plan. But we would have to explain to the others about why we'd decided not to look for them. Nagisa replied and he does got a point, but I'm going to take the blame for it, not matter what anyone says.

Later

After awhile of walking, we'd arrived at a arcade and we decided to compete with each other at the games there. But, Nagisa was no match for me as I kept defeating him on all the games we'd went on. "I don't understand this Yukiko, how are you so good at these games as it's like you mastered them?" Nagisa asked me which caused me to giggle. "Well, when you have lots of practice, you begin to get better and better to the point you'll master the game. So if you want, I could tutor you on how you could become a master yourself Nagisa-kun." I told him as it'll mean I'll get to spend more time with Nagisa if he accepts my offer as I'll gladly tutor him. "Even if you did tutor me, there's no way I could reach the same level as you Yukiko." He replied and it seems like he's considering it.

After awhile

While Nagisa and I began playing more and more games with each other, I began noticing that Nagisa seems to be more interested competing against me at the arcade games. So, when we took a break and went to the arcade's cafe, I began hugging Nagisa's arm to show him how glad I was for him spending the day with me and to my surprise, he didn't seem to mind it. ("He doesn't mind me hugging his arm like this as maybe he's having as much fun as I am right now. But I'm so happy right now that I'm spending time alone with Nagisa like this as I want us to be like this forever.") I thought and it caused me to hug his arm even tighter. But while we were walking, we saw one of those purikura photobooths which you have to imitate poses that appears on screen and for each one, it will take your picture. "Hey Nagisa, do you want to go into the Purikura with me and get our photos taken so that we can treasure our memories together?" I suggested awhile blushing as I'd never really done this with anyone before as I'd only done when I was by myself. But this is different as it's going to be with the guy I love. "I'm not sure Yukiko... it's just that... It's just that I'm not really good at posing and I'm afraid that I'll mess up." Nagisa replied and it's understandable as I'm even nervous being in a small box with a boy who I've been crushing on for months. "Don't worry about Nagisa, I think you'll be fine as to tell you the truth, I'm even a little nervous myself as I've never done this with anyone before." I told him to try give a little more confidence.

Inside the Photobooth

I'm now in the photobooth with Nagisa and we've been copying the poses that appeared on screen and after several photos haven been taken, there was one that stood out from the rest which required the both of us to hug each other while having our cheeks pressed against each other. "Yukiko... Your not seriously thinking we should do this pose are you?" Nagisa asked and it's clear that he's embarrassed by it and I don't blame him as I to am embarrassed by it as well. "Lets... Lets just do it... I know it's embarrassing, but just me when I say this, but there are far more embarrassing ones than this. So could you do it for me please?" I asked and I could already feel my face getting redder as it means that while we'll doing this pose, our faces will be connected and whoever sees the photo of us doing this pose will resume we'll a couple. "A-Alright... I'll do it for you and it can... it can be our secret. "Nagisa replied and with limited time remaining. we imitated the pose that was on screen and our cheek are now pressed against each other which we then smiled.

After the photos have been taken

After we'd finished the last pose, the photos that were taken started to print and once they'd finished printing. We'd decided to go to a nearby table to see how well we posed and to our surprised, they were very decent photos as we'd both posed well. "These are really great photos Nagisa-kun as you posed quite well despite you saying you weren't good at it." I told him while I inspected all the photos and he was rather brave for doing it for my sake. "Well, I was kinda embarrassed doing it at first, but I actually had fun doing it with you Yukiko." He replied to me with a smile and I'm glad that he had fun too. "You know Nagisa... there's something I've been meaning to tell you for a long time now. But after everything we've done today. I now have the courage to tell you what I always wanted to tell you.. Nagisa Shiota... I'm in love with you and I felt this way for a long time now..." I confessed my feelings for him which I had for so long.
