I heard a slurping noise from my right. I turned to face where the noise was coming from, only to see Hanako-kun eating my udon noodles. "Wait, how are you eating this?" I pointed out, my curiosity piquing.

"Begged Tsukasa to let me eat food in exchange for free hugs once a day," Hanako guided the overflowing spoonful of noodles into his mouth. Yashiro rolled her eyes. Should've expected this childish response from Hanako-kun.

"Why'd you let me stay over for so long anyways? I thought you'd chase me out by now," Hanako dusted off his hat and asked, walking the opposite direction from me, towards the door. "Because- you're my... friend," I hesitated on the last word, knowing that Hanako doesn't like me calling him a friend. But what else am I supposed to address him as?

Hanako walked over towards me until his nose was under mine (still can't believe he's shorter than me). I blushed a dark shade of red, making him pull away from me slightly, so I could see his face clearly. His reddish-amber eyes glinting with mischief, his choppy, chocolate colored hair tinted with strands of dark brown and highlighted with hazel. His lips neared mine, and he pouted, making them even closer.

"Only friends?"

At this point, I could feel his every, shivery breath against my skin, making me shudder. I haven't been this close to Hanako-kun before...

Okay, let's just get on the same page here and agree, Yashiro is really bad at picking up signs.

Maybe her raidar broke.

"Can't we be more..?" I said (well, I have to admit), seductively. I've never been this amazing before. Where was this skill?

"Ha-Hanako-Kun," Yashiro mumbled through her soft, pink lips. I shook my head and chuckled, as if she had made a joke. I backed away. I appeared behind her, taking a whiff of her lavender-scented cream-teal hair, and put my hand on her warm shoulder.

"Call me Amane,"
