[bunniefuu]

What...

What am I doing? He's sick.

See you tomorrow.

I thought he was going to kiss me!

I'm glad you're feeling better.

Were you just sleeping?

Yeah...

Kouki!

Here I am.

Why is everyone
so lovey-dovey all of a sudden?

Sakisaka day really worked wonders.

Sure looks like it.

Ah!

What are your
Christmas plans with your girlfriend?

Well, we'll be at my place,
just for a quiet date at home.

-That's boring.
-Or so you'd think.

The truth is,
my parents will be away on a trip.

No way.

Are you going to...

What about you?

What happened with
that girl who confessed to you?

Ah...

What's wrong?

What are you going to do on Christmas Eve?

I don't really have any plans.

Let's go on a date again.

-Why are you so surprised?
-No.

I just didn't expect you to
invite me out for a date on Christmas eve.

Thank you.

It makes me really happy.

I'll tell him on Christmas Eve.

How I feel.

Okay.

Up until now,
I've always relied on Yamato.

Okay.

I want to work hard on my own,
and then tell him I like him.

Ashiya's really
working hard recently, isn't he?

He's even studying during breaks.

Don't you miss him, Ohara?

Even so, it's a good thing
that he's working hard.

So you miss him.

Shut up.

-Next, Ohara.
-Yes.

Ninety-four points...

Oh! You scored higher than me.

Whoa, you really worked hard.

I wore this on our last date...

And I wore this at the festival.

I'm so lame,
doing a fashion show all by myself.

I'm putting way too much
effort into dressing up. So lame!

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve.

DATE

I can't wait to...

tell Yamato.

He still hasn't
replied to your confession?

It's okay.

I'm sure he's thinking about it.

What if he's made you wait this long,
just to turn you down?

Even if that happens,

I'll be okay.

Even after knowing how I feel

Kakeru is as he's always been,

and he said he'd really think about it.

That's enough to make me feel like
my feelings were worth something.

Though

I'll cry if he says no.

If he does,
I'll stay up with you all night.

Thanks.

I said stop it!

-Just for a little bit.
-No.

-I'm not going.
-There's a nice café though.

-Let's go.
-I said no, stop insisting.

-It's a great photo spot.
-No.

Cut it out.

I told you I'm not going.

Please stop!

If it were Kakeru he'd...

You're being way too stubborn, stop it.

Excuse me.

She's my friend.

Kakeru.

Hi.

Huh?

-We just ran into...
-He was so cool just now.

Right?

I was walking, and some guys...

By the way,

you guys must be really good friends
if you're hanging out on Christmas.

Not in particular.

What's the relationship between you two?

Uh...

We're childhood friends.

-You're childhood friends?
-Yeah.

Oh, I see.

I'm going to go home.

Huh?

You two have fun.

Kakeru.

Kakeru!

Kakeru, wait!

Wait up!

I'm sorry.

Are you okay?

So you didn't love me after all, did you?

What?

You aren't in love with me after all.

Kakeru...

Why would you bring her
on Christmas of all days?

No.

I just ran into her.

Kakeru.

Look at me.

Look at me.

Kakeru...

You...

always make me feel so confused.

I was so excited for today.

But then...

In the end, I keep embarrassing myself.

That's not true.

It was the same for me.

I was too afraid,

and just kept running away.

But...

I'm glad I fell in love with you.

Earlier,

I saw that girl was in trouble,

and I thought, if it'd been you,
you would've helped her.

And it made me happy...

Why are you crying?

Because I am

in love with you.

I finally got you.

Thank you

for crying for me.

Sorry.

And now

I am in Yamato's bathtub.

Kakeru.

Yes?

I'm leaving a towel
and some clothes for you.

Okay.

There, all done.

Thanks.

Kakeru.

Your hair is so fluffy.

It's so unruly.

It always gets messy right away.

I like it.

Your hair.

What do you mean?

Your hair is
so perfectly straight and pretty.

Kakeru.

Hey.

It made me happy
to hear you say you love me.

Yeah.

I'm so happy it feels like a dream.

Yeah.

I didn't want to let you go.

So I used the cold as an excuse,

and said we should
go to my place and get warm.

I feel the same way.

I don't...

want to leave you yet.

Oh? We're the first to arrive.

Do you reckon we'll
change seats next semester?

I really like sitting by the window.

Is that all?

It's behind your seat.

Someone might see.

Okay.

Can I do it now?

Huh?

Good morning.

'Morning.

You're early.

I got class duty. You guys are early too.

Yeah.

Wait. Are we...

a couple?

Dear God,
does this mean we're actually dating?

You're not dating?

Huh?

Well, the way we are right now
is maybe for the better,

because, you know, if we
get together we might break up again.

Are you done, Kakeru?

Ouch.

Yamato... This is embarrassing.

It can't be helped, can it?

You hurt yourself.

I want to do it like this.

Okay, all done.

Thanks.

I might go take a nap,
I didn't sleep well.

I didn't either.

Get on. I'll take you to the bed.

I can walk just fine.

You're being so dramatic.

Of course I am.

I'm worried.

Why didn't you sleep well?

Well...

I was thinking about you,
so I couldn't sleep.

About me?

Yeah.

I was thinking about

what I'd do if your feelings
had changed by the morning.

Yamato is good at
always letting me know how he feels.

So...

Knowing you didn't sleep either

is kind of comforting.

Maybe that means
you were thinking the same thing.

And I should do the same.

Yamato.

Yes?

Please

go out with me.

Huh?

If this feeling went away that easily,

it wouldn't take up
this much space in my head.

I really love you.

And I want to be your special someone.

How...

How about...

Y...

You?

I feel the same.

Kakeru.

Please go out with me.

I will.

I was so nervous.

I've wanted to tell you for a while.

I wanted to show you a cool side of me.

So I studied hard,

and I was going to
tell you that day at the park,

but then I caught a cold from the rain.

You did

all of that for me?

Oh.

I think I'll just
go back to the classroom.

I've always

wanted to do this.

Yamato.

Eh? Wait.

Yamato.

Ashiya.

Is he okay?

He said he's feeling sick.

We should let him sleep a little, then.

Goodnight.

It's not hard to figure out
why you stole my heart.

But

I never thought that feeling
would ever reach you.

Along the way that feeling became painful,

but you turned it into joy.

I'm sure that in the future
a lot of things will happen.

We might fight, and want to cry.

But, I want to tell you each time.

Let's go.

So that this feeling

reaches you.

Want to watch a movie?
