Letter

Dear Saihara,

I want to thank you for helping me out. If it weren't for your detective skills, I wouldn't have found any of my sisters. That's right! I found one of my sisters here! I'm glad she was safe...

Even if I'm happy about finding my sister, I'm a little sad that you couldn't come due to your work. I really hope your uncle isn't overworking you, your health and wellbeing mean a lot to me.

As for myself. I've been well I guess. I'm just really missing home at the moment. I wish you were here right now. I'm sorry that I couldn't even find time to place a call so all I can do is write this letter and hope that it reaches you in time. For you see, I'm writing this five days before a special date. I'm sure you remember but it's actually our anniversary! I wouldn't have remembered if you didn't tell me to put that reminder on my phone, thanks for that as well. I'm really sorry that I can't be there with you to celebrate it. But at least I can write this heartfelt letter.

You remember how we first met, right?

Who am I joking? Of course, you do.

We met at that weird school a couple of years ago. I was scared when I first heard that damn bear speak, I thought we were going to be dragged into another killing game. I'm still confused about his change of heart but now I can't help but feel grateful. I remember how shy and timid you were when we first met. I guess I didn't really make a good impression because I remembered how you got a little hostile at me at one point. It really took a lot to convince you that I wasn't going to hurt you or anyone else. You have no idea how glad I was when you started to lighten up. Though I only really viewed you as like my little brother at the time, you know, as someone I needed to protect. But even so, I really thought that way of almost everyone.

However, it was actually you who really made this all happen. I remember when you first approached me, saying how you wanted to know me better. It was a little funny to me especially since you were once so skeptical and hostile towards me. But it made me happy. I gladly took your offer, even if I couldn't help but question it.

And you remember what happened next. You asking me to hang out became a normal thing. I remember when you knocked on my dorm and asked me if I was free that one morning. That one morning you also had a date ticket, at least that's what I think it was called. You looked so hesitant and shy that I almost felt bad about wanting to tease you.

I think it was because you wanted to help me find out my talent that you decided to watch a documentary on adventurers. I really appreciated the effort, especially since we ended up enjoying ourselves. Don't mention that also really did end up being my ultimate talent but that's beside the point. After that, I decided to also start asking you for dates during that time. I really couldn't help but enjoy your company, you have no idea how much I enjoyed learning something new about you every time. Like that time I found out that you had a sweet tooth when you asked me (maybe a little too enthusiastically) if we could bake something. Or that time when I found out that you actually seemed to like action movies when you suggested we watch one. Along with differences, I also seemed to notice some things we had in common, like how I was able to tell how you liked the outdoors as much as I do.

Though my favorite memory was when you nearly fell asleep at that one date at the library. I thought someone like you would never get so tired and bored in a library but seeing that difference was rather nice. And I really did want to tease you on how cute you looked or at least poke your cheek when you were dozing off but I didn't want to weird you out. I guess finding those small quirks was what made me like you more and more. I couldn't help but feel bad when you went to my dorm later and apologized, what would make you think that I would get mad? You know that I could never really get mad at you.

Even if you have so much to you, my favorite thing about you has to be your determination. Just the way you tried to persist on fixing things between us and convincing me that I was worth your time was what really got me. I also really appreciated how hard you worked to help me figure out my talent. As well as your promise... You know, the one of helping me find my sisters. I'm still really grateful that you really stuck to that one or else I wouldn't be here now. I wish I could hug you to just merely express how grateful I am.

To be honest, I was able to catch onto my feeling really quickly. The only thing that stopped me from somehow telling you was that I never really knew how to express it and I could tell that you never really knew how to express yours either. So, we just kept going with our awkward little-more-than friendship until graduation. Oh geez, I can already remember our awkward love confession. It was when we travelled together for the first time I think. I'm sure you remember that one trip to Italy we took to find one of my sisters. I could still remember how red your face got when we found out that the hotel room we rented only had one bed. I still remember when we laid down on the bed together, tired from a day of searching. I really should've known that you don't fall asleep very easily or else I wouldn't have murmured my feelings right there. I wasn't sure what to expect. Even if I got some cues of you liking me back, I was never truly sure and I really didn't want to ruin things between us. I could still remember your reluctance on replying to me, especially when I asked if you loved me back like a total idiot. But you know, your awkward answer made me really happy. I never thought the happiest moment of my life would come just from a simple nod. I must've not been the only one because I noticed you started to cry a little. It really pains me to see you cry, even if you were crying due to happiness.

I would go on and on but I could only write so much. I could go on forever about our memories. Like when I surprise hugged you for the first time. Your eyes got really wide and you let out an audible squeak. Akamatsu was also with us and she laughed a little at your reaction. But it was so cute... Sometimes I wish that you would be surprised like that again but your cool "I expected this" smile is just as nice. Ah sorry, I'm droning on again...

I just wanted to not only write this to express gratitude towards you but to also express my love. I figured that since we knew each other for this long and loved each other for this long that I finally thought I'd say it. I'm sorry that I couldn't ask you this in person or that I can't even mail a ring at the moment but...

I was wondering if you'd want to spend the rest of your life with me... I need to stop dancing around the question...

Shuuichi Saihara, will you marry me?

It's okay to not answer or be sure yet. I'll be sure to properly propose when I come back and actually bring a ring. But please, do consider it...

Yours truly,

Rantarou Amami
