The winter-blue-haired teen repeated this mantra over and over again. It felt like his brain cells were rotting away with each passing second.

The awkward stares they gave each other from time to time, and the uneasy speech they addressed the other with, caused the inhabitants at the table to be cautious, as well as confused.
'So much for being bold enough to confess.' Toshirou shook his head in disappointment.
"U-Umm, did something happen between you two?"
A relieved sigh escaped Toshirou's lips. Thank God for Shin breaking the ice at the table.
"Yeah!" One of the little kids exclaimed. "Tristan-onii-chan is acting weird."
