■3rd Person POV■

The day of the school festival has come. All of the Shiratorizawa students are all around the school ground. Foods stalls and all are being visited by the visitors.

Y/N and Kawanishi's class is pretty packed too. There are some people waiting in line because the chiffon cake tastes good.

Kawanishi is bringing another box of ingredients with one of his classmates when he spots Y/N who's serving the customer.

Kwanishi is mesmerized by her as she looks cute in that dress. Kawanishi notices that Y/N looks tired, beads of sweat roll down her cheek. Kawanishi puts the box on the floor in the kitchen area and left the classroom, heading to get something.

It's three P.m, Y/N's shift has ended, she's now leaning back against the window in the kitchen area. Just then, she was surprised when something cold touches her cheek.

Y/N looks up to her side and sees Kawanishi with a bowl of Kakigouri (shaved ice).

Kawanishi: good work... here...

Kawanishi hands Y/N the cold desert and the girl looks at the ice with strawberry syrups on it.

Y/N: Kawanishi san... thank you...

The two walks out of their class and leans on the corridor not far from their class to rest.

Kawanishi watches as Y/N tries the Kakigouri and sees as her face looks delighted. Y/N looks at Kawanishi, happily smiling because of the tasty cold ice that she just ate.

Y/N: it's cold... but refreshing... thank you Kawanishi san.

Kawanishi smiles at the sight of her, and his hand moves on its own and he almost touches Y/N's head when.

Nishimura: L/N...

Kawanishi's san stopped before he could touch Y/N, and the girl turns around to the voice who's calling her. Kwanishi immediately let's his hand fall to his side, watching as another boy walks closer to them.

■Y/N's POV■

Nishimura san is approaching Kawanishi san and me. He stops in front of me and smiles.

Nishimura: L/N, you look so pretty, that dress suits you!

I could feel my cheeks warmed by the compliments.

Y/N: t-thank you....

Just then Nishimura san is rubbing the back of his neck and looks away.

Nishimura: um L/N... are you... perhaps are you busy?

Busy? I think I've finished my shift for the day...

Y/N: I've just finished my shift...

Nishimura san looks at me.

Nishimura: um, do you... maybe wanna walk around the festival with me?

Walk around the festival... that sounds nice... maybe Kawanishi san want-

Kawanishi: yes, she wants to...

Nishimura: oh great!

Dub Dub

I look back at Kawanishi san, he places a hand on my head and patting me. He leans closer and whispers in my ear.

Kawanishi: good luck... you should confess your feeling...

I feel a hand gently pushing me forward and I moves closer to Nishimura san. When I turn around, Kawanishi has already facing away from me, walking further probably going back to our class.

Why does my chest feel heavy...

Nishimura: L/N?

I was surprised and snapped from my mind and look back to see Nishimura san.

Nishimura: you okay? Wanna stroll now or maybe you are still tired?

Y/N: a-ah... no... it's okay, we can go...

Nishimura san smiles and we both start walking. I look back a little, not finding the one that I wanted to see.

He... doesn't mind with us being apart...

As I'm walking with Nishimura san, I can't help but think about Kawanishi san.

Nishimura: L/N, aren't you gonna put that away?

I look at the empty Kakigouri's bowl in my hands. It's been long since I finished it but I'm still holding onto it.

Y/N: ah right...

I put the empty bowl on the bin and we continue to walk around the festival. It was fun to looks around the happy atmosphere, but I can't help but feel that something is missing.

The sky is getting darker, some of the students are getting the fireworks for today's closing ready.

Nishimura and I are at the pond not far from where the fireworks will be launched. I'm watching the second year's student council preparing the fireworks when Nishimura calls out to me.

Nishimura: L/N...

I turn my head around and look at him, he is staring at the pond.

Y/N: yes?

Nishimura: I uh... that day I was surprised when I saw you with your new hairstyle... I... think you're cute and uh... kinda decided to visit your class more often so I could see you...

Nishimura looks at me and my heart beats a little faster as I stare into his eyes that staring back at mine.

Nishimura: as we start to talk more... I got to know you better... better than last year and I... I... ended up liking you L/N...

Nishimura's eyes look tender and I become nervous.

Nishimura: L/N... wanna go out with me?

Dub Dub

Nishimura... confesses to me...

My heart is racing, loudly pounding inside my heart. I've been practicing with Kawanishi san so I can talk to Nishimura like this, but my heart doesn't feel like when I was practicing.

It feels different than when I'm with him...

Nishimura: L/N!

I look up to see Nishimura san's worried face.

Nishimura: L/N are you... okay?

I lift my hand to my face, feeling the wet lin on my cheek.

I'm... crying...

I immediately cover my face from Nishimura san.

Nishimura: L/N I'm sorry if my feeling burdens yo-

Y/N: I admire you Nishimura san... I always do... since you started talking to me first back in our 2nd year... but...

It's an admiration to someone that I look up to...

Y/N: but that's.. because I look up to you a lot and... wanted to be like you... I'm so-

A hand gently lands on my shoulder and I look up to meet eyes with the smiling Nishimura san.

Nishimura: don't apologize... thank you for admiring me... I regret not looking your way sooner... that way, maybe your feeling would be a different kind of admiration...

He wipes my tears away and smiles.

Nishimura: I hope, we could still be friends L/N...

Y/N: of course... I... want that too...

Nishimura gets one tissues for me but my tears won't stop, so I excuse myself. As I walk, eventually going faster until I start running, I can't help but think about a certain person.

Kawanishi san...

My chest hurt as I realize my feeling.

I... love Kawanishi san...

■Kawanishi's POV■

I look at the shoes of the people who walk in front of me. A lot of people are gathering near the pond because ethe fireworks will be launched.

She must be there with him too...

Just then I stop walking when I see the shoes in front of me are now facing me. I look up to see Shirabu and Yunohama looking at me.

We're on our way to the volleyball gym because Shirabu said we should just hang in there and make my mind clear. Yes, I told Shirabu and Yunohama that today I'll most likely get a heart break.

Yunohama: Kawanishi... you shouldn't let her go if you're hurt like this...

How can I whe she likes that person?

Shirabu: Kawanishi... I warned you before tho...

Yes, you did, but I guess... I can't help but be pulled by her...

Yunohama: those guys are getting the fireworks ready...

The three of us are looking at the crowd of students who are gathering near the fireworks spot.

Just then I saw something that makes my heart skips a beat. L/N is running inside our school building when everyone is probably outside to enjoy the fireworks that will be launched soon. As I look I notice something.

She's crying...

Without saying anything, I run to where she goes, ignoring Yunohama and Shirabu who are calling me.

Why did she cry? Did he reject her harshly?

Kawanishi: where is she going to?

I'm currently on the 3nd year's floor, I can't hear anything from the stairs which means L/N is in this floor.

Could it be?

I walk to my classroom, all of my classmates are all out on the field near the fireworks spot. I slides the door open and then I found what I'm looking for.

L/N, sitting on the floor near a stack of boxes, hugging her knees, crying.

Kawanishi: L/N...

I could feel her body flinches when I call her. I walk closer and crouches in front of her, seeing her small trembling body.

Kawanishi: L/N... did he say anything harsh to you? Did he hurt yo-

Y/N: he... confessed to me first...

Dub Dub

He did?

I can see Y/N's face as she still hides it from me.

Y/N: he...(sobs) told me he likes me and asked me to go out with him but (sobs)... I'm sorry Kawanishi san... I (sobs) messed up...

What do you mean? Why are you apologizing to me?

Kawanishi: L/N it's oka-

Y/N: no... I... messed up... though (sobs) you helped me with all of these (sobs)... when I'm with Nishimura san... I... I can't say I love you to him...(sobs) because... cause... (sobs) the person who I think of when I want to say that is... Kawanishi san...

Dub Dub

L/N finally lifts up her face and I can finally see her crying face. I'm about to reach a hand to wipe her tears away when her words stopped me from moving.

Y/N: I'm sorry (sobs) I love you... Kawanishi san.

Dub Dub

My chest is pounding so loud as I can feel my heart beats too fast by no. I watch as Y/N talks while still avoiding my eyes.

Y/N: I'm sorry for... falling in love with you inst-

Why would you say sorry?

I can't help myself as my body feels like being pulled by her and I crash my lips to hers. I put my hand on her back and the other one on her cheek.

I kiss her...

When I pull back I saw L/N's flustered face.

Y/N: Ka-Kawanishi san?

Damn... I'm so happy...

I pull her to me, hugging her small frame in my arms.

Kawanishi: I thought... I'm gonna get my heart broken today... just like what Shirabu said before, but...

I push her back a little and stares into her eyes.

Kawanishi: I'm happy instead... I... love you L/N...

Her eyes widened before they became tearier and the tears fell off her eyes.

Kawanishi: I... like you... please, go out with me Y/N...

I caresses her cheeks and she leans on my hand and nods.

Y/N: I... like you too...

With that I lean in closer once again and kiss her for the second time today. When I pull back Y/N's face looks a bit red. And then I smile at her.

Kawanishi: well, I guess we got the perfect result from all of those practices....

Y/N's face turns red and I can't help but pulling her into my arms again.

I got her...

A rocket like thing was being launched at the sky and

Boom!

The beautiful flower paints the night sky, but I was more entranced with the beauty in front of me.

Thanks to all of those days...

I got to know her...

And eventually got her...

We did get the best result for her...

And for me too...
