“Are going to the theatre tonight?” you asked while packing your ballet shoes and clothes in your back pack.
“Of course” your best friend, shotaro, said from your bed. “You know i wouldn’t miss a presentation from you”
“That’s why you are the most wonderful best friend in the world” you told him with a smile.
Best friends, just that. You’re best friend.
“Yeah, bestfriends…” shotaro said in a whisper, allowing only himself to hear what he was saying.
“Did you said something?”
“Oh no, just saying i’m excited to see you tonight”
Tonight you were going to perform one of your favorite ballet dances ever, “The Swan Lake”.
“Gosh i’m dying of excitement” you exclaimed. “If i do something wrong i would die of embarrassment, can you imagine if i fall?”
“You’re going to be perfect, you are perfect. That’s how you’ve been always”
Since a couple months ago, Shotaro started saying those kind of things to you. At first you didn’t pay much attention to it, he has been always the type of touchy best friend, giving you hugs and sometimes holding your hand. But from a few weeks now you have been felling this type of… something in your stomach, butterflies are they called? Of course every time you feel them you drawn them away, but then shotaro said something cute to you and they rise again.
“Thanks Taro”
Hours passed and your presentation finally came, you were playing the white swan, so it was a really important role for you. It was perfect, you pushed yourself so hard that the presentation was incredible, perfect.
“You were a.ma.zing” your bestfriend said emphasizing the last words. “ I bring you this…”
“YOU BROUGHT ME TULIPS!?” you exclaimed, seeing the bouquet of flowers that he was hiding behind his back. “YOU KNOW HOW I LOVE TULIPS!!”
“Yeah i know” he laughed. “That what i bought them”
“I love you with all my heart Osaki Shotaro” you thanked him giving him a big, tight hug. You didn’t knew the impact your words had into him, his heart beating faster due to how closer your bodies were.
He loved watching you doing ballet, he loved you.
“First position… Second position… Third position…—Kazuha keep your back straight— Forth position… Fifth position… Rest” your ballet teacher said.
You had ballet practice almost every day, making difficult going out with shotaro. And the weekends you had free, you spend them with your family.
Although shotaro would rather have you on his bed while watching your favorite movies, he went to see you practice every day he could, taking you to eat something after.
Today was no exception, a few minutes after the practice started, you saw him poking his head through the door with a big smile on his face. He waved at you, you gave him a smile saying hello too. What you didn’t notice was that maybe you smile at him too much, and of course your teacher saw you smiling at the boy that was on the door.
“y/n even tho you did good in our presentation two weeks ago, that doesn’t allow you to spend all your practice smiling at your boyfriend that is on the door” she said with a firm tone.
“Huh? He’s not my boyf—”
“You should probably tell that to him, he comes here every. single. day to watch you dance” your teacher cut you off. “If you’re not in love with him, he surely is with you”
You gave a little glance at the door and shotaro was not there anymore. Shotaro? In love with me? Impossible, we are just friends. Best friends.
Best friends?
Best friends.
And why do you think about him all the time? Why do you want him to hold your hand and hug you forever? If he isn’t in love with you, now you know you are definitely with him.
After practice ended, shotaro took you out to eat your favorite, spicy noodles. Every time you ate that with him, you could spend hours laughing at his poor tolerance to spicy food.
“My tongue is burning” he said poking his tongue out, you laughed.
“It’s NOT spicy, shotaro”
“Yes it is, you just like torturing me. The things i do for you y/n… the things i do for you”
“It’s not my fault you can’t eat spicy food, i do enjoy watching you eating tho, it’s funny how you’re always complaining”
“I enjoy watching you eat too”
“Tsk, why?” you said while eating more noodles.
“I enjoy watching you doing whatever, dancing, eating, sleeping, studying. I love watching you doing any-”
“Stop saying things like that, taro” you cut him off, the butterflies in your stomach appearing again.
You couldn’t ruin your friendship with shotaro, he has been your best friend since you remember. You are not supposed to like your best friend, not in that way.
“Why?” he asked, turning his whole body in your direction.
“Whatever effect your words have on me, you have to stop them. My stomach is doing backflips right now” you confessed.
“That’s not something bad”
“It wouldn’t be bad if you were not my best friend, you are not supposed to make your best friend feel those kind of things” you told him, looking down and playing with your own hands.
“Just get the hint y/n” Shotaro answered, putting his hand in your chin and forcing you to look directly into his beautiful eyes.
“What?”
“I thought you would be smart enough to discover it by yourself” he giggled.
“I really don’t have any idea of what are you talking about right now”
“y/n, me, Osaki Shotaro, i’m in love with you”
“no you’re not”
“yes i am”
“no you’re not”
“yes. i am” he smiled softly.
“Shotaro, I… i’m in love with you too. It’s just that i wasn’t sure if you liked me back, and i didn’t want to lose your friendship so i tried to burry my feelings but-”
Shotaro caught you completely off guard, his lips went directly into yours. The kiss was sweet, it was like if all the feelings both of you were trying to hide, were finally coming out. One of your hands was cupping his cheek while the other one was in his neck, pressing him more closer to you. You have been waiting so much for this momento to come that you didn’t want to waste any second.
“You know, in the bottom of my heart a kinda knew you like me too” he said breaking the kiss, smiling brightly.
“And why is that?”
“Your hand always shake when i hold it”
“Damn it, i thought it wasn’t that obviously” your cursed.
“It’s cute”
“You’re cute”
“Aww how lovely, do you want to go out with me tomorrow?” he asked.
“Are we going to eat spicy noodles?”
“Yes”
“It sounds perfect to me” you answered back, kissing his cheek.
