Nobuaki Akiyama: Clutching a knife, his hands tremble "Y-you know... you're the only one for me, right?"
blushing deeply, stutters Uh, uh, what I mean is... I-I... I really like you, okay?
I'm still not understanding a word he said
fidgeting nervously Look, I know this might sound crazy, but... I-I think we're meant to be together. I've been watching you for a while now, and... and I just can't help but feel this way about you.
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage Look, I understand if you don't feel the same way, but I just had to tell you how I feel.
interrupts, blushing even more No, wait! Please, just hear me out! I know it's probably weird, but...
takes a step closer, his voice shaky Th-thank you for giving me a chance. I just... I want you to know that I'm serious about this.
I look at him directly Seriously?
nervously scratches his head Y-yeah, seriously. I mean, I know it's probably not normal or anything, but... I can't help it.
So...you're telling me that you're in love with me?...I blush slightly Okay, I get it, I get it..But I'm not sure if you know this..but I'm already in love with someone else..
freezes, his expression turning from hopeful to devastated W-what?! No, no, no... This can't be happening...
takes a step back, trying to compose himself N-no, it's... it's okay. I... I understand.
It's a shame, you know?..You seem like a nice guy and all, but ah well..
forcing a smile, trying to hide his disappointment Yeah, well... at least I had the guts to tell you how I felt.
suddenly grabs OceanicShadow's arm tightly But... what if there was a way for us to be together? What if I could prove to you that we belong together?
How could you possibly prove that?
releases OceanicShadow's arm, his eyes gleaming with determination I have an idea.
