Sometimes I think back on when we first met. The fact that our meeting would lead to me becoming a much happier and positive person in general, and you the most important girl ever in my life.

I love you so much, my beloved and wonderful Touko Kirigaya.

As usual I am heading to another work day on CiRCLE after school.

I've had this part time job for some time now and have definitely gotten familiar with the bands that frequent here.

I've become quite good friends with them all really. But of course, romance usually emerge from all of this eventually.

...Except it doesn't, or rather, I have been the one to often reject love confessions from the band girls.

All of them are great people, they really are, and I often don't reject them at once, and at least go with the ones who confessed to me on dates, but alas, I've had no interest in anyone of them.

I am bisexual, sure, but I really don't seek to date guys, I lean more towards girls, but again, none of the band girls I really don't want to pursue anything with.

But I've just told myself that I will find someone eventually, doesn't need to be today or tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow. I just have to take it chill and go on with life.

"Hey Stephan, you got a minute?" Marina asks me as I am now currently sweeping the floors of confetti from a recent anniversary celebration here at CiRCLE. I didn't really participate myself, this is more the band girls' day than anyone else's.

"Yes Marina, what's up?" I ask her as she nods before going up the desk to fetch something.

"A new band will be practicing here at CiRCLE today! I have to take care of some other stuff, so maybe you can manage?" Marina asks me, though looking at me with a reassuring look. "If it really doesn't go well, just call on me, alright?"

"Yeah, I will. Thank you Marina." I tell her as she nods and walks away. She knows, or well, everyone here knows my difficulties I have at times when it comes to social things.

Often I can start a conversation quite well, but most often just when someone else starts it, otherwise I can remain quiet for the whole duration.

It has always been a trouble for me, which I believe often has had to do with my autism. It's... not easy in many cases when having that, I can think differently in situations at times, but even so, it isn't too bad of it that I can't think straight completely or something like that.

While all that on mind, I walk up to the desk and behind it, just to be ready when the new band arrives. It will probably take some time, so why not look at some videos in the meantime.

Putting on a VOD from one of my favorite streamers playing Deltarune, I soon shuffle around a little behind the desk, just to make it a little prettier to stand behind the counter and all.

I fail to notice the door ringing from someone arriving, so I continue on while the white noise of the streamer and the game drowning out many othet sounds around me.

"Oh, uh... Hello?"

As I suddenly hear someone greeting, I almost immediately look over the counter, just the upper part of my head being visible.

In front of the desk, I see a raven haired girl with twintails standing there, with seemingly four more people behind her.

"Wait... One, two..." I begin counting, though my eyes couldn't help but to look a little extra to one of the girls standing behind her.

She is very apparent a gyaru, but... this blonde girl just makes me feel... something different looking at...

"Ahem..! Ah, you must be the new band Marina said would come!" I say as I fully get up and grab onto my phone to pause the video and put the device away. "Please ignore that, just me wanting something to distract myself and all."

"Oh no, it's fine! But yes, we would come by here today, we are Morfonica!" she says as the other girls, including the blonde one, takes a step forward so I can see them all more up close.

*Ba-thump, ba-thump*

My heart begins beating more when I actually make eye contact with the blonde girl for a short while. I... I don't understand..!

"We will for sure love practicing here, there is a lot of room for various things!"

"Y-yes, that's very true..!" I reply, as I feel myself heating up more.

"Oh, are you... nervous? I mean, if we are making you nervous, just say it-"

"No, no, Miss, there is no need to concern yourself over that..!"

I am not feeling nervous, or maybe I am..?! It's just the blonde girl that makes my heart beat more and more every time I look at her.

I tried not making eye contact with anyone of them, but it was impossible for me to not look at her.

She soon giggles even, most likely noticing how much I have looked at her, before I finally manage to give the studio keys to the twin tail girl.

"...Alright, thank you, Mister!" she tells me as she and the others soon go towards the studio, though the blonde gyaru throws one last glance at me and smiles at me..!

*BA-THUMP, BA-THUMP*

I didn't know what to say at this point as I were probably a blushing mess, but... this feeling? It's... something I haven't felt since I were just a small child...

I... I actually am having feelings for someone I just met, but she already feels so special in every possible way..!

After an hour goes by and things keeps on being somewhat boring, Morfonica has finished practicing and goes up to leave of the key and thanks me for today. Though while everyone goes out the exit, the blonde gyaru stops in her tracks, and turns around her head a little, enough to see me some.

She soon let's out a giggle before fully turning around and soon walks up to me.

"Hey, sorry that none of us introduced ourselves! We are still kinda new to this band life thing, but we are doing awesome so far!" she suddenly tells me as I am unsure what to reply, as I am just feeling those feelings once again while standing eye to eye with her.

"A-ah, that's amazing that it is like that, I-I am rooting for you- I mean, all of you guys..!"

"Sooo, what's your name~?" she asks me as she bends over the desk, supporting her arms on it while still looking at me, and also still smiling.

"Oh uh, I am Stephan, I prefer to not share my last name with people I don't know too well, sorry..." I reply to her as she nods.

"Understandable! My name is Touko Kirigaya by the way, and I'm the biggest star on many places, so don't forget it~!"

"Touko... What a beautiful name..." I say as I can see that Touko becomes surprised from what I suddenly said. "Oh no, I'm so sorry, I-!"

"Heh, don't worry about it~" she tells me as she stands up again. "Stephan is a very good sounding name as well!"

"Heh, thanks... I never myself really think it was that good. But if you say it is, then... guess it isn't too bad of it." I reply to Touko as I chuckle, with her joining with a giggle.

"Well, nice to meet you, Stephan! I look forward to seeing you soon again~!" she says to as she turns around to begin walking towards the exit.

"Hey, before you go... Would you perhaps want to, well, go out on a date someday?" I boldly ask her, not hesitating with starting to pursue my feelings.

Touko looks at me for a moment, before laughing and nodding.

"Yeah sure! I've never hanged out with a guy, let alone went on a date, but I would love doing that~" she tells me as she waves to me before heading out.

"...Ooh, I love her..." I say to myself as I begin blushing. Touko Kirigaya... I look forward to seeing you again as well!

As the weeks pass by and becomes months, I get myself more and more aquianted with Morfonica, but most of all, Touko.

The date we had certainly made her see a lot of aspects of me, but even so, she said she loved our date.

Then, during spring, something unforgettable happens...

"Hey, how's it going?" Touko asks me as she alone enters CiRCLE, most likely just here to see me. Think she just recently came back from an outing with the other bands, from what I remember in the selfie she sent on her SNS, that alone judging from her current outfit.

"Oh, I'm fine really" I reply to her, but I would say that my day just got better with her around, but I decided not to say anything more.

"Heh, that's good to hear~" she tells me, getting even more happy of her. "Mind if we talk, just for a itty bitty bit, please~?

"Oh sure, I am always up for a chat." I reply as I just vault over the desk, as I feel I really don't want to go around and all.

Touko laughs at my action before being quiet again, but still smiling brightly at me.

"Stephan, I know that you actually am in love with me." Touko suddenly says, making me freeze up.

"I, uh, I mean- I-If you are uncomfortable with those feelings I have for you, I can stop-"

But as I say that, she hugs me. Touko... hugging me..!

"No stupid, it's not like that at all~" she tells me as she hugs even tighter onto me. "Because I love you too~"

"W-wait, you... do..?"

"You are such a great person, Stephan. And overall, you make me so happy whenever you are with us." Touko says while letting go and looking at me with her as beautiful as ever brown eyes.

"Well, you make happy as well, basically just knowing that you exist makes me so happy." I reply as I also smile back at her. "You are my source of happiness and comfort, Touko. I love you so much..."

Touko keeps on smiling at me, her smile being softer and softer of it as she also begins inching her face closer to mine.

"...Touko, I want to be your boyfriend." I confess to her, as I inch closer as well, our nose tips almost colliding at this point.

"Of course, I would love to if you were, and I want to be your girlfriend~" Touko tells me as she is giggling while heavily blushing.

"My... beloved Touko..." I softly say as we tilt our heads a little, before our lips meet. We begin sharing a very, very passionate kiss...

I had failed to notice that all the other band girls had came in, and it wasn't until they began cheering that I laid notice to them.

"Everyone..!"

"We have noticed how often you get so happy with Touko, and because she shared those feelings, we thought it was only fair to support Touko in confessing to you!" Lisa says as some of the band girls nods.

"I... Thanks everyone." I say as I look to Touko again. "I hope you are ready for the adventures ahead of us, my beloved."

"I will for sure be! Now come here, my cutiepie~" she suddenly says as she lays her lips on again, while leading me out of sight from the others, before starting to kiss me all over..!

I thought this only happened in fiction that the girl kisses their love interest all over like this. Well, assuming the aftermaths, I guess there will be a lot of kiss marks afterwards...

But I can't complain really, because I am being kissed by Touko, and I feel such joy just being with her.

I love you immensely and beyond, my beloved Touko Kirigaya. I hope we can be together forever..!
