　　she sat on her bed, leg bouncing up and down waiting for sero to stop by her room to talk.

'jeez i'm so nervous! i'm going to break up with sero..' she thought as a knock was heard at her door. "come in!"

sero walked through the door, shut it behind him, and sat on your bed right next to you. you awkwardly scoot over, farther away from him and he gave a confused look.

"so, what do you need to talk about [y/n]?" he asked, you took a deep breath trying to mentally prepare yourself. "sero..." your voice trailed off and he urged you to go on. "we need to break up." you simply got out. you felt bad since it sounded as if you had no emotion or just didn't care.

"w—what? why?" he was even more confused than he was before. "i heard you talking with kiri last night..." you looked away not wanting to make eye contact. now he understood.

"listen, [y/n]—" you cut him off before he was able to finish, "it's fine sero, i know you did it to protect my feelings." you smiled sweetly at him, telling him you weren't angry and he smiled back.

"i also have something to confess." he raised an eyebrow curiously. "last night when i heard you guys, i was coming back from shinso's room..." he looked lost then his eyes went wide. "[y/n], you did....it!?" your face turned a scarlet red and you waved your hands in defense. "no, no! we only kissed.." you mumbled.

he chuckled, "it's fine, [y/n]. although you did cheat on your wonderful, amazing, caring, handsome boyfriend, i forgive you." you both laughed as you couldn't take anything seriously.

"friends?" you stuck out your hand for him to shake. he looked at your hand then at you and smiled, "friends!" he shook your hand.

"you should probably go now, i have to talk to shinso soon," you whispered the last part as if there was someone else in the room. he immediately caught on and smirked. "alright, alright. i'm going." he walked towards the door, turning the nob.

"oh, wait sero!" he turned confused. "one last goodbye kiss?" he smiled and nodded. you walk up to him, stood on your tippy toes, and kissed his cheek. "good luck with shinso." he said then left my dorm. 'at least that went good' the girl thought.

5:04 p.m

she sat on her bed, anxiously waiting for shinso to stop by. 'i'm so nervous! what if we end up dating after this?'

she blushed at the thought and hid her face in her hands, hiding the crimson-red hue covering her cheeks.

a sudden knock startled her, "c—come in!" she mentally slapped herself for stuttering.

a purple-haired male curiously popped his head through the crack of the door and she couldn't help but smile to herself, 'why's he so adorable?'

"oh hey, [y/n]." he awkwardly stood in front of her door, not sure what to do.

you let out a soft chuckle, "you can come sit down shinso. no need to be nervous, i don't bite." you patted the spot next to you on your bed.

'she didn't call me hitoshi..' the male thought, disappointed.

he slowly walked towards the bed, fidgeting with his fingers nervously. he sat down on the bed, not wanting to make eye contact with you.

there was an awkward silence filling the air as neither of them spoke up.

"s—so i wanted to talk," he managed to get out.

"well, obviously that's why you're here," you smirked at him.

he couldn't help but blush in embarrassment, "right uhm, about the kiss.."

he finally said what has been on his mind, "i'm sorry," he started and you looked at him confused. "last night we kissed, but we shouldn't have because you're dating sero and i stepped over that boundary—"

"i broke up with sero." you cut him off. he looked at you, stunned. "turns out he only dated me to protect my feelings..." you stared into the abyss as you zoned out.

"oh.." was all shinso said as he didn't know how to react or respond to the situation. you snap back to reality and your attention goes to shinso who sat there, pondering.

"so uhm, what.. are we then?" he finally lifted his head to meet your gaze, scratching the back of his neck nervously. "i mean, it's really up to y—"

a sudden knock at the door was heard, "hello? [y/n] are you in there?!" mina yelled from the other side of the door.

you sighed, tired of your friend's outburst. "not now, mina!" yelling, you hoped mina would take the hint and leave the two of you alone.

mina opened the door, "oh, come on! i found this really good-looking guy on insta and was wondering if i should ask him ou—" she paused, seeing shinso sitting next to you.

you crossed your arm, slightly annoyed.

"uhm never mind, it can wait!" mina awkwardly left the room, silence still filling the air.

"so, [y/n].." you look over at shinso with an eyebrow raised in curiosity, he took a deep breath and met your gaze, "do you want to be my girlfriend?"

you were at a loss for words, though you knew exactly what you wanted.

you couldn't contain your smile as it grew big, "yes!" you leaped onto him, holding each other in your arms.

"can we stay like this for a little while?" you mumbled under your breath as the two of you embraced each other.

"for as long as you want," he stated, the simple sentence was enough to give you butterflies.
