You sniveled as you sat down on a stool in the ice cream shop. It was nearing eight p.m., so there weren't any people in there, which meant that you had all the space you needed to cry.

Quiet whimpers escaped you, as did several sobs, as you buried your face in the palms of your hands.

After several moments passed of this, you felt a presence next to you. You reluctantly looked up, and were met with Rei, a worker here at the shop, eyeing you with worry. You're like a big sister to her, so it's only natural that she would be concerned when she saw you crying like this all by yourself.

"Y/N-chan... What happened?"

You were about to answer, but both of you lifted your head when you heard the bell above the entrance door jingle. The moment that you locked eyes with Harvey is the moment that you were hit with another wave of emotion. It was like a dam was broken, as more tears spied over and drenched your cheeks.

Rei, eyed the two of you and caught on to the situation, getting the hint that this was something you and Harvey had to sort out yourselves. So, with a comforting and encouraging pat on the back, she stood up and left.

You hung your head as you wept. Your body immediately tensed when you felt Harvey sit next you in the booth and turn her body towards you.

The air was quiet. The only thing that could be heard was your soft cries and the workers moving behind the counter as they cleaned up.

"Y/N-chan," You heard Harvey call out.

You lifted your head slightly, hesitantly meeting her gaze. Oddly enough, there was no resentment or disdain in the depth of her eyes. They were instead warm and inviting. You found yourself getting lost in them.

"I think that there are some things that we need to talk about, yeah?" She said quietly.

You sniffled and nodded your head solemnly. "Yeah." You mumbled.

She cracked a small smile as she reached up to wipe your tears with the sleeve of her sweatshirt. There was delicacy and care in every gentle touch, and that only made your heart swoon. You suppose that you have ultimately failed at this attempt at getting rid of your feelings for her.

"So," She started. "Do you really like me? As in like-like? Be honest with me, please."

You bit your lip, and after a few beats of silence, you nodded timidly. You were taken aback when you felt arms wrap around your shoulders and pull you into a tight embrace. She rested her head on your shoulder and sighed.

"Thank goodness," You heard her mumble.

You froze in your spot. "W-What?"

Harvey lifted her head, her face close to yours as she spoke quietly. "What I mean is that I like you too. That's why it really hurt me that you were ignoring me." She confessed.

Your eyes widened so much to the point where you were sure they couldn't get any bigger. "Oh my god, I'm so sorry, if I knew that you like me back, I wouldn't have tried to get rid of my feelings and-"

"Wait, wait, wait, you wanted to get rid of your feelings for me? Before even telling me about them?" She pouted as she spoke, and her eyes drooped.

You instantly felt even worse for what you had done. You hung your head once more and spoke in a shaky voice. "I'm - I'm sincerely sorry. I know it was stu-stupid and I shouldn't have done it, b-b-but I didn't know what to do." You stammered, pearl-like tears rolling down your cheeks.

You sniffled when you felt her hand under your jaw to maneuver your head to look up at her. She then wiped your tears once more.

"Y/N-chan," She mumbled. "Don't worry, I'm not angry at you, I promise. I was just a little hurt, okay? It's all good now, now that we both know we like each other, yes?" She questioned.

You nodded weakly. She pulled you into her embrace again and began to stroke your hair. She pressed a chaste kiss to the top of your head.

"I really like you, Y/N-chan. I'm excited to show you just how much." She whispered.

You smiled. "Me too."
