You didn't see Rin as someone that would do the "moving in together" thing, so you were shocked to hear him saying; "I want to stay close."
"Sorry?" you inquired, eyes wide wondering if you heard him right. Rin glanced at you and repeated, "I want to stay close." For a moment, you were speechless, not sure what to say but he continued the conversation and what he said made your heart flutter.
"I don't want us to be far from each other," he looked up at the sky. "Even if we go to different university or college, I want us to stay close and... connected," the words sounded foreign coming from his own mouth but he continued. "I want to live together with you," he turned his head to you, his gaze softened when he saw your face, listening to him intently. "After all this year(s), I don't think I want to be separated from you, let alone not being able to see you for a certain period of time," he tilted his head slightly and gave a soft smile, a smile that would only be directed to you.
"I love you," he finally said the three words, not "like" but "love".
He saw how your eyes lit up, tears threatening to fall from your eyes. Rin rarely did this, he knew it himself, which made this moment special for you. He leaned in close then cupped your cheeks, which made it even harder to hold back your tears. "I told you before, I won't say those words simply..." he said softly before pressing a gentle kiss on your forehead, his lips lingered there for a while before he pulled back.
"Stay with me."
