MEMORIES FROM THE BYGONE DAYS FLASHED IN HER MIND.The clear evocation of the childlike emotions she once felt before came rushing in, similar to overflowing waters in a shallow basin.
Nao heard the confession of the person she had valued as a dear friend. She knew with the way he had told her that he was speaking the truth. Her Toshi-kun was in love with her. In love with her. Ushijima loved her. Not just a simple platonic love—he was in love with no one else—but with her.
Fuji Nao.
The thought echoed repetitively in her head. She was still processing the very idea of what he had said. It was due to utter astonishment. Nao was greatly flattered. The legendary ace of Miyagi, Ushijima Wakatoshi—her childhood friend—had feelings for her.
The girl was left standing in front of him—speechless. She was just looking at the Shiratorizawa captain with wide, astounded eyes. Cheeks painted red and heart beating fast. While his hands were holding her face, drinking in her every reaction.
Ushijima released a breath, happy that he had finally proclaimed his love for Nao. He linked their foreheads together, resting his own to her in an affectionate way.
"Nao-chan." He began to smile. "My Nao-chan." Ushijima repeated again, calling her in the same manner as when they were children. "You do not need to say anything." He reassured, not pressuring her to give him an immediate reply. Nao felt brewing emotions she had not realized until this very moment.
"For I only wanted to let you know that I love you—that is all."
