Chapter 8: Reversed

Ever since that incident, I've been acting coldly towards Mio. I don't hate her, I'm just really upset and depressed. Hearing the way she said it just tore my heart into a million pieces. It feels like it was shot by an arrow, or cut open, or scratched by sharp claws, or-

Okay, well, you get what I mean.

Every time I see her, my heart starts aching and I just run away.

I'm not ready to see her yet.

I needed some alone time. I needed to think this through. I don't need help in this.

Because this is our problem.

It has been 2 weeks and I think that's just an extremely long time.

I need to go apologize.

So I put a note on her desk, telling her to come to the roof immediately. Classes have ended, so it's the perfect time to do it.

Perfect?

I heard footsteps walking towards me as I watched the sky. The beautiful sunset.

"So you wanted me here?" Mio asked coldly. My heart started achi-

No! Keep it together, Ritsu!

"Uh, yeah." I turned to her, looking at her in the eyes seriously. "I just wanted to apologize." Her eyes widen a bit.

"Well, you're late." She said, turning to the side and pouting. I grinned.

"Well sorry. I just needed some time to...recover." She looked at me, sadly.

"I should he sorry too. I shouldn't have said that so rudely." She said.

"Of course you shouldn't, and I don't think it'd be worth it to tell you this." I turned to her.

"But I've actually felt that way towards you." Her eyes widen a lot this time. I just made a goofy grin.

"But I don't think it matters anymore." I looked at the ground sadly.

"No!" I turned to her in surprise. She was on the verge of tears.

"No, Ritsu! I only said I didn't like you was because I didn't want to gross out my friends!" Tears rolled down her cheeks. This time, it's my turn to widen my eyes.

"So, I...I..." She clenched her fists.

"I actually love you too!"

After she said that, my brain was full of emotions. Shocked to Confused to Happiness. I slowly made a smile which turned out to be a big grin.

"Well, why didn't you just say so?" She looked at me.

"Why would they ask you that question in the first place, then?" I laughed. I ran to her and pulled her into an embrace. She hugged me back tightly.

"Ritsu..." She cried. I just grinned.

"Oh Mio." I laughed. I pushed her away gently. I looked at her face.

Slowly, I pulled her face into mine, pulling in for a kiss.

It was the most romantic kiss ever. Here, in the beautiful sunset with a romantic atmosphere.

It was perfect.

I could not ask for anything more, because Mio is the best gift I've ever received.

FIN

A/N: That was shorter than I expected, ah well.

This is for the Mitsu lovers! Hoped you enjoyed it!

I know it's short, but I don't really like to read extremely long stories, for example:

No, Thank You! Mitsu fic.

Classic, Mitsu fic by Shikuro-kun.

Holy shit it has 50 chapters!

But anyway, thanks for reading!

Till next story!
