"I told the

Stars about

You."

MAJOR MANGA SPOILERS AHEAD ALERT!

- au in which Amane has developed feelings for his classmate, and talks about her to the stars above. Little did he know. . .

There he was again.

A young boy named Amane Yugi would always head straight to the rooftop after school - at first it was to avoid his twin brother, but after weeks of doing so, he began to use it as his small makeshift therapy session.

He used the skies above as his diary, always telling the stars about what happened to his life, to vent out his feelings.

Until the topic of his certain classmate came up.

"Yashiro-san. . . she's a nice girl," Amane told the sky quietly. He didn't care if anyone saw him, but when he's talking about someone, he would be pretty insecure.

"I heard she likes the president of the student council. I mean, like, every girl likes him, though. I still don't really understand why - he's pretty scary to me."

Amane shivered a bit, remembering the older Minamoto's dark expression when he caught Amane messing with the girls' bathroom. Not that Amane blames him, though.

"There was this one time Minamoto-san visited our classroom and excused a student. He asked Yashiro where he was, but the girl could only blush and stutter. She ended up just pointing at Akane-kun."

Amane laughed a bit at this, resting his chin on his arms, reminiscing that one time Yashiro could barely function, and of all the words in the dictionary, she could only spout out I-I-I. . .M-M-Minamoto-senpai!?

Ah, good times.

"I heard from Aoi-san that Yashiro is pretty insecure of her ankles. But I don't get it. She looks fine to me," Amane mumbled.

Or maybe you're just saying that because you like Yashiro?

Amane blushed, trying to fight off his embarrassing thoughts. He definitely has thought about Yashiro often. Not in a creepy way. He thinks. She just appears in his mind in the most random moments possible.

He isn't sure if that's a sign about his feelings.

The door creaked.

Amane flinched. "Who's there?" He shouted, wary. Panicked thoughts rushed in his head, swarming his mind, trying to come up with the worst scenario possible that may happen.

Was someone listening in?

"Show yourself now," Amane demanded, despite the waver in his voice.

A girl about his age stepped out, face flushed, eyes teary, lip bitten. She looked down on the ground, twirling a strand of her hair as she held a familiar notebook.

The girl was none other than Yashiro Nene herself.

Of course.

Amane loved the universe, the space, but it didn't love him back.

Of course.

"Y-" Amane's face turned crimson red, from his head to toe- "Yashiro-san!? What are you doing here!?"

Yashiro finally had the courage to look at Amane in the eyes, but before a second could even pass, her face flushed and she looked down again. Amane prayed to the Gods she didn't think about his (technically a) confession earlier.

"Amane-kun, I. . .uhm." Yashiro faltered a bit with her words and just showed Amane his notebook. "I came to return this! Yamabuki-kun told me he didn't see you so he just asked me to give you your notebook."

Amane's jaw slacked. "M-My notebook!? But I told Yamabuki he should return my science notebook tomorrow!"

Damn that lemon boy.

He set this up, didn't he?

Yashiro shrugged. "I don't know." She trudged towards Amane and held out his notebook, to which Amane shakily took back. "I'm sorry for interrupting your. . .uhm, moment! I'll be off now, if you don't mind!"

Amane opened his mouth to say something, but Yashiro suddenly gasped and fumbled with her pockets.

"Wait! I forgot to return this!"

Amane blinked at the sight of a certain keychain, that is, no doubt, his. "Oh. I've been looking for that."

Not really.

He's been too busy,but that doesn't mean he wondered where it could possibly be.

Yashiro sheepishly laughed, fiddling with her fingers. "Yeah. . .about that. . ." She cleared her throat, straightening her posture. "I had already planned to give it to you yesterday after I saw it in the third floor girls' bathroom, but I didn't see you anywhere after school." She giggled. "I should've known you'd be in a place where you can view the sky."

Amane blushed again.

He's been blushing a lot today.

"Yashiro-san," Amane said, "would you mind if you stayed for a while?"

Yashiro stared at him for a moment, probably trying to decipher his intentions. But the way Amane looked down on the ground, his cheeks tinted red, as he bit his lip, it was hard for Yashiro to say no.

"Of course."

They stayed silent.

The two enjoyed the view in front of them, the moon high in the sky as stars sprinkled in the sky would shine.

Ethereal

It would be the only word to describe what Amane is experiencing right now.

Under the beautiful night sky, next to the girl he had always grown fond of, there was nothing more he ever wanted.

He wished moments like these would stay forever.

He wished he could snap a picture of this moment with his mind, embed it, and treasure it always.

He didn't want to imagine what would happen an hour later. Where he would part with Yashiro, he would go home, alone with his twin.

"Amane-kun?"

The said boy flinched inwardly in surprise. "Uh, yeah?"

Yashiro smiled at him, the smile reaching her ears as her face beamed, no, glowed. Is Amane witnessing an Angel right now? "You're a cool guy, you know?"

"Thanks. You too."

Yashiro rose a brow at him in question.

Amane sputtered. "I'm sorry, I panicked! I meant, like, you're cool, too!"

Yashiro giggled, the sound embarrassing Amane further. He buried his face in his hands.

"Nice weather today," Yashiro breathed out, her wide smile still plastered on her face.

Amane panicked again.

"Thanks."

"You're welcome," Yashiro said instinctively.

They both processed what they just said, buffering, frowns on their faces. Then, they glanced at each other and burst out laughing.

It's now or never.

"Yashiro. . ."

The girl stared back up at him, eyes wide and curious that made the poor boy's heart stutter.

"I. . .like you." Yashiro froze, and Amane took this as a chance to hold her shoulders. "Please go out with me!"
