"are you scared to die?"
you remembered. you had asked somebody that question. long ago, before he had disappeared.
"..no," he replied calmly. you had anticipated that answer, you knew he wasn't scared of death.
"are you?" his question made you gaze back up at the dark, starry sky. the cold air gently breezed past your skin, and you shivered at its cold touch.
"i don't know." you opted for a simply reply, one that you've said many times. he didn't seemed bothered though, he never was.
the silence was comforting. the usual, when you both hung out. you glanced back at him, only to find his own blue eyes staring back. you fought back the urge to look away in embarrassment. why was he looking at you?
"m-" your voice faltered as he leaned closer towards you. the action left you shocked and your mouth went dry. the close proximity made you shiver, the feeling of his body against yours enough to leave you a flustered mess.
"you're.. very beautiful." a hushed whisper, his lips briefly brushed against yours before he leaned back. you flinched at his words, finding it seemingly impossible he would find someone like you attractive.
"do you like me?" he was blunt, he always was. you tensed up at his question.
"i don't know what to tell you."
"..i won't force you to answer."
he was kind and extremely considerate. you felt bitter at the words you were about to say.
"so what if i do? don't you have, i don't know, yukari?"
he flinched at your harsh tone.
"i like you and only you."
