─── . ✦ KAITO ⪩ ⪨

You and Kaito have been good friends for a long time. One day, Kaito tells you that he needs to pretend he has a girlfriend because of a problem he had.

After thinking about it for a bit, he asks you to be yourself.
At first, they both agree that it will only be a lie and that there will be no feelings involved.
They start going out together, holding hands, and saying nice things to each other when they're with other people.

But over time, Kaito starts getting nervous around you. He also begins to enjoy going out with you too much and looks for any excuse to be with you.

One afternoon, while they are alone, Kaito looks at you silently.
"Hey... do you think we're still pretending?"
