| Karaoke Joint ~ Continuing...
Teto yelled, ''Yy-y-you just said_ YOU'RE IN LOVE!?!''
''L-ll-Love?! Urh~ You musta've heard me wrong.'' Gotoh replied, as he thought, '''Dang-Ddang ittt! I really stepped in it now~! How did she hear my thoughts? [Mic echo]'''
Teto shouted, panicked, ''AhAhaaa! You are- You are so in love with somebody! *Frantic giggle*''
| Realizing, -that I stupidly spilled my thoughts into that mic, I tossed it down. Then I reacted to my shame, like I always did.
''OHH, ----DAAANNNG IIITTTTTTTTT!!!'' He screamed, running off like a girl.
Baffled, Teto asked, ''Wait! -Don't run off!''
''Dang It! -Dang itt!! Dang iit!'' Gotoh kept shouting, as he ran.
| On the next schooltastic day, I was kicking my own self for my actions. Me and Teto are pals, and I wasn't sure how to smooth things over.
| Till, I came back from lunch and spotted a message on my desk. The gist was: 'Meet her after school, in a old clubroom, to make things all better'.
| Of course, I took the chance.
*Opens door*
''Teto. Are you in here?'' Gotoh asked, as he was surprised, ''-Aaahhh!''
''Hahhh... Great, you made it.'' She said, shutting her manga.
(. . .)
Calmly, Teto said, ''Gotoh. Yes or no answer, are you in love with someone?''
Internally, he reacted, 'Ggah-ahah! Straight to the point. What do I-I?'
(. . .)
''Yes, I am!'' He boldly stated.
She replied, ''So you are..... Urm-um... Could you explain, is that why you acted so off yesterday?''
Anxious, he said, ''It.. was. I guess.''
Timidly, she asked, ''No offense, yesterday's activities were superb. But what was all that for? Please explain to us, was there a deeper meaning?''
| Meanwhile, outside the door~
''Ooow. They both had fun, and without Eri? How sad.. Really sad...'' She thought, secretly listening.
Sincerely, Gotoh stated, ''Listen. Yesterday was a kind`of test. It was a test____ to prove that it was actually you... making my heart sing.''

''A..... '' Teto let out, in shock. ''Did we... hear you right?''
Gotoh repeated, ''You sure did. -Teto, I have fallen for you, and only you. Do you_ feel the same way, just a bit? *aches*''
Her palms jittered, as she was speechless, ''O. . . o . . .oh . . . ooO-MY-GOODNESS!!! -ARE WE DREAMING!?!?! *starts pinching herself*''
Panicked, he expressed, ''Wha-what the---- Stop! No need to act like that! *Grabs her palm*''
Flustered, Teto shouted, ''This isn't...? (. . .) Gotoh? The t-tr-truth is---- we-w-w-w-we-w--we... I have fallen for you as well!!!''
Cluelessly, he replied, ''You-Uh? _Say `at now.....''
Joining her palms, she spoke, ''I have liked you_ since the first day of class. When I glimpsed upon that s-ssparkly blonde hair.
*Chuckles* And those dreadful puns... ''
((Knock on door))
''Excuse me! Could you two be quieter please?!'' A studious student asked. ''We're trying to have calligraphy club next door.''
''Hh-hiii... Don't mind Eri.'' She awkwardly remarked.
| In the days after ~ Hayato's house...
'Internet time again...' He thought, bored.
((Mp3 music droning))
'So many tiresome, pointless posts... 'New ani-films.' 'Their pets.' 'Look at my dinner.' 'My Bokemon status.' 'Right... Might as well, check on Gotoh...'
Gasping, he thought, 'Not single? What's this_ (Click) Huhuh?! *Grips mouse tight* Since when did they get together? Mhmmm~ (Smirks) Good for him, I suppose.'
🩷*Likes photo*
Serene, Hayato thought, 'It's.. Eri's account again. What does she post? *Glimpses around*'
The page reads, '[Eri wishes to know more about humans, and their cultures. Anyone have ideas of what Eri could do? 🌸😉]''
Content, he thought, ''Welp... On another thought_ Following her couldn't be too tiresome. Follow.*Click*''
| That's all!
