Satosugu[au]

Satoru and Suguru stayed in the classroom after all the other students had gone home. The noisy day was behind them, and the silence enveloping them created a special atmosphere. Satoru, staring at the ceiling, felt his heart beating faster. He knew this was the moment he had to be honest.

— You know, Suguru... I actually like you,

he said, trying to make his voice as casual as possible.

Suguru, who had been lost in his thoughts until that moment, turned sharply to Satoru. His eyes widened in surprise, but he didn’t look away.

— For some reason, I suddenly felt like telling you this, and it seems like my feelings just came out of nowhere,

Satoru continued, his voice becoming more serious. He looked at Suguru, and there was a sincere desire in his eyes.

— How about we go on 30 dates? — he suggested with a slight smile, but at the same time, his tone was full of hope. — I want to get to know you better, and maybe fall even more in love with you.

Suguru froze for a moment, processing what was said.

— Are you serious?

Suguru finally asked with a feigned smirk, his voice sounding a bit shaky.

Satoru nodded, his confidence unwavering. He understood that he was risking a lot, but at the same time, he was ready to take this step.

— Yes, I’m serious. I want to try.

— Alright, Suguru replied. — Let’s give it a shot.

Satoru felt a rush of happiness and relief. He exhaled and continued looking at Geto.

— Then tomorrow after school, I’ll be waiting for you near KFC. Don’t be late!

Satoru said, then quickly jumped up and left the classroom, leaving Suguru alone with his thoughts.

Sudden love struck Satoru
