After a while, I calm down


    and Tsukino pulls away.


    Her eyes are red and


    glossy too from crying.


    I smile at her, “Should


    we get going now?”


    Tsukino smiles back,


    “Yes. Should we go


    to the food court?”


    She asks, sniffling


    slightly as she opens


    her purse.


    Find this and other great novels on the author''s preferred platform. Support original creators!


    She grabs some


    kleenex tissues


    handing me one.


    I thank her before


    using it, glad to


    be hanging out


    with her today.


    Then for some


    reason, her words


    come to mind:


    “Are you like that too?”


    “I mean you''re handsome


    Tetsuya! Many girls dream


    to be in my shoes right now.”


    There''s no way I could just


    treat the other person I''ve


    fallen in love with as if


    they''re trash.


    To be used for a while and


    then discarded the next.


    Tsukino is more than that


    to me.


    She''s a human being


    with emotions.
