"Homura Ryuu, I think I like you…"
Suzuki Ara's whispery voice felt like a caress to his ears. However, the prince was so shocked he was not able to move. He was not even sure if he'd heard her correctly. He just looked at her in wonder as she stared back at him with those pair of warm, laughing gray eyes.
"W-what did you say?"
For the first time in his life, the Koutaishidenka of the Homura House stuttered. He continued to search her face as something in his chest fluttered but he didn't know why.
"I said, I think I like you," Ara repeated, her voice clearer and with more confidence this time around that it was hard for Ryuu to miss.
She… wait.
"You think?" the Koutaishidenka countered in disbelief.
The soaring in his chest plummeted and he felt like sulking, he frowned.
"Of course," Ara replied. "I'm not a hundred percent sure yet of course but I think I like you. Isn't that already good?"
Well…
