~Haruka~

It was another boring period of lunch time for you, since there was no one you could hang out with anymore. You sipped on your (F/Fruit) juice box while thinking about your friend, Haru. You thought about how long will you manage keep your feelings to yourself. You sighed and rested your head on your desk, fluttering your eyes shut.

Just then, you heard a familiar voice call your name. You looked up to see Haru wearing a determined face. "Come with me for a while." he said. You blushed and nodded. He took you by the wrist and dragged you upstairs, to the rooftop.

"H-Haru, w-why do you want to bring me here?" you asked. "C-Classes are going to start soon."

"I'm sorry, but I don't care about that right now," he replied with a straight face.

"H-Heh? W-Why?"

Haru sighed and took a few steps forward. "I-I've been wanting to tell you something for a long time..." He presented you one of his home-cooked mackerels wrapped in foil and tied in a (F/C) ribbon. "I-I like you as much as I like the water and mackerel! S-So... let's go out... whatever you call it..."

Your face turned red. No one knows how much madly in love Haru is when it comes to his two favorite things. This made you feel like you earned a special place inside his heart. Your lips formed a huge smile. "I like you, too, Haru. Mhmm, let's go out." You grabbed his gift and smelled its delicious aroma.

~Makoto~

It was your sibling's first race in the Iwatobi Swimming Club. You were excited to see how the coach's teachings helped him build up his knowledge and skills on this sport.

When you arrived, your little brother ran to the locker room to get changed, and you proceeded to go to the bleachers. There, you saw Makoto standing on the third row, waving his hand in the air to catch your attention. You went up the stairs and he motioned you to take a seat beside him. "Hi, (Y/N)-chan," he greeted. "How are you?"

"I'm great! I'm really fired up to watch Dai-chan's first ever race," you said over the roaring of voices.

The little swimmers began to line up and ready their positions. From the middle lane, you could see the small figure of your sibling putting on his lime-tinted goggles. There was a moment of silence until the speaker said, "ready, set, go!"

The audience cheered and shouted. It was only less than a second that your brother would be defeated by the kid on the far lane. You kept on telling for him to go and go and go. Upon hearing your cry, he pushed himself to the limits and reached the finish line first. The audience applauded and whistled loudly. You turned your head to face the gentle giant and grinned. Makoto pulled you into a warm embrace.

"(Y/N)-chan, t-there's something I want to tell you..." he whispered in your ear.

Your cheeks started to show a hint of pink. "W-What is it, Makoto?"

"...I like you."

Your heart felt at ease hearing the three special words. You hugged him back. "Mhm... Same here..."

He pulled back and scratched the back of his head. "A-Ah, s-so does that mean we can start dating now..? I-It's okay if you don't want to, though, because I can wait for you as long as you want!!" You giggled and nodded delightfully. "I'd love to."

~Rin~

You got out of school early, so you headed over to Samezuka Academy to surprise Rin, who was still practicing. You sat on a bench behind a vending machine and (played games/read fanfics/scrolled through random pages) on your phone while waiting.

After about an hour later, you saw a few students coming out of the entrance gate. You stood up and scanned the crowd to find a maroon-headed shark. When you did, you ran up to him while waving your hand in the air. Rin froze in place, but then quickly tried to cover his blushing face. "(Y-Y/N), w-what brings you here?" he asked.

"Well, we haven't walked home together, so how about today? I-Is it okay for you?" You looked down shyly. You thought that you couldn't just wait for each other to make a move, so you decided to build up the courage to take action. After waiting for a couple of seconds and receiving no words, you sighed and turned around, mumbling, "M-Maybe next time, then..."

Rin stopped you by grabbing your hand. "Yea. Let's go."

For the whole time, the two of you walked down the street with no interaction. It worried you, because usually you would always keep your conversations going on and on, but this time, the atmosphere felt weird. You felt as if there was a wall that separates you between Rin. You reached at the street where you start parting ways. "W-Well, see you next Monday..."

"W-Wait!" Rin said, pulling you into his arms. Your eyes widened, face turning red. "R-Rin-chan, w-what are you..?"

"I'm sorry, (Y/N). I can't hold it in anymore. I've been wanting to tell you something for a long time, but I can't bring myself to do it so easily. I..." His voice became unsteady. "I... like you, (Y/N)... That's why, I'm telling you to be my girlfriend."

You hugged him, clutching onto his jacket. "I-I feel the same way, R-Rin... A-And of course."

Rin was on the verge of crying. You chuckled, pointing out that he was such a crybaby. "S-Shut up, (Y/N)... It's just that I'm really happy that you like me too..."

~Nagisa~

Today, you insisted on eating lunch together with Nagisa. It's been quite a while since you two hung out, so you thought that you'd make up for it.

You and Nagisa sat on a bench outside, by the garden. You quietly chewed on your food, while constantly catching glances from your blond friend. You sighed and set down your bento, turning to face him. "Nagisa-kun, what's wrong?" you asked.

He blushed and looked away. "N-Nothing..." he murmured.

You smirked. "Hmm... I was thinking you wanted to taste some of my lunch, though..."

"A-Ah!!" His eyes lit up instantly. "Can I? Can I? Umm, I'll let you taste mine!" He held up a large sugar-coated strawberry mochi in front of you. "Is it okay if I feed you?" He smiled widely. You blinked and shyly nodded. "Say, aah~!" he said. When you took a bite, his cheeks matched the color of the mochi as he realized at how cute you looked like when he fed you. The boy frantically sat up straight, hands on his lap. "G-Gomen..! I-I was just thinking of how... cute you were... A-Ah, g-gomen!! I-I was talking about, uhmm, a cat! Y-Yea, that's right, a cat!" He laughed nervously.

"U-Uhm, well then, it's my turn... t-to feed you..." You lifted your bento and picked up a sushi roll with your (F/C) chopsticks. Nagisa examined the food first before eating it. "Is it good?" you asked. He nodded cheerfully.

A moment of silence filled the atmosphere for a while until he broke it. "Eeehhh, I can't take it anymore!!" he shouted. He puffed his blushing cheeks. "I-I like you, (Y/N)-chan. D-Don't take this in the wrong way; I didn't mean it in a friendly way, but like in a r-romantic way..." He fiddled his fingers. "(Y/N)-chan, do you like me, too?"

Your face flushed. You didn't know how to respond in this situation, especially when he's straightforward in confessing his feelings to you. You gazed at the ground. "I-I do..."

Nagisa gasped in surprise. He grinned and pulled you into a great hug. "Yaaay~! I'm so glad!! Now let's go out and do what couples do, okay~?"

You smiled and nodded.

~Rei~

It was the last day of your tutoring classes with Rei. You were reviewing all the equations, signs, and symbols you have learned throughout the course of 2 weeks. Upon completing your final set of problems, which you answered them without a single mistake, Rei ripped out a page from his notebook and wrote down an equation for you to solve. "(Y-Y/N), there's something I want to tell you... b-but you have to answer this to find out."

"Huh? Another problem? I thought these were the very last of them," you said. "Fine, I-I guess I'll just have to answer this one..." You took the paper from his hands, making slight contact with his fingers. The two of you blushed. You analyzed the formula before solving it. "9x - 7i > 3 (3x-7u), hm?" You read it aloud. You glanced at Rei, who was sitting there without moving a muscle, yet a lot of sweat was running down his forehead. Please don't get this wrong, (Y/N)..! If you make just the slightest bit of mistake, my beautiful plan will be over, he said to himself.

After a couple of seconds, you finally came up with an answer. "I'm done. The answer is i less than 3u." With that said, the room fell silent. "U-Um... d-did I get it wrong..?" you asked.

Rei sighed and covered his blushing face. "T-Take a closer look at your answer."

You nodded and examined your result. "I less than 3u... I... less than 3... u..." In the speed of light, you finally came to a realization that the hidden answer was 'i <3 u'. Your face flushed as you slowly lifted your head up to lock your eyes with Rei. "R-R-Rei... U-Um!! U-Uh, i-is this..??"

The blue-haired student stood up and clenched his fists. "Yes, that's right!! I like you, (Y/N)-san!!!"

Your heart skipped a beat. It took you a couple of seconds to process that the person you had a crush with felt the same way. You closed your eyes and let the words slip out of your mouth. "I-I like you too, Rei-chan..." you mumbled. Rei heard what you admitted and pulled you into a tight hug. "I'm relieved to hear you say that, (Y/N)," he said. He pulled you back, hands still lightly resting on your shoulders. "Then, we should start dating now, right?"

"H-Huh? O-Oh, y-yes!!" Without realizing, a huge smile formed on your lips.
