90% of the problems (or at least some problems) of some shows/movies would have been solved if the two love rivals decided to be together instead of arguing or decided to have a poly relationship with the person they liked.
Okamura stared at you, surprised; he couldn't believe such a cute, and outgoing girl like you liked him. He looked around, confused to make sure you talked to him, before slowly taking your letter. You smiled widely when he took it and bowed slightly to him.
"I hope you accept my confession Okamura~san."
"Is this a joke? Are you messing with me?" You quickly looked up at him, and he looked confused and hurt.
"I am sorry~?" You tilted your head confused, and he looked around again. He was expecting to see a camera or his team hiding somewhere laughing.
"I don't think I understand Okamura~san."
"Did my team put you up to this?"
"What are you talking about? Of course not; I am coming to you of my own free will."
"I am sorry, I find it hard that someone so pretty, so popular, and so smart like me."
"So… that's a no?" You asked; still confused, you bit your lip. Okamura glanced around again before at you, then at the letter.
"No, it's not. I just… I-"
You suddenly pulled his tie downward, bringing his head down to your height. You pressed your lips to his shyly. You aren't sure exactly where the confidence came from, but you were desperate for him to know that you were serious.
Okamura was confused and shocked, but it only lasted a few moments before he wrapped his arms around your waist. You both parted after a few moments, only leaving a few centimeters between your lips.
"Please accept me. I like you so much."
"I should be begging you to be serious. If you are, of course, I accept your feelings," he said. You looked up to meet his eyes, and he stared at you. He felt his heart fill with warmth as he realized that you meant every word you said.
"Of course, I am serious. I don't have the heart to be mean like that. I have feelings for you; I have since the beginning of last year. I was just too nervous about confessing," you admitted. You felt a blush rise your cheeks, and the gravity of the situation fell on you. You had kissed him without asking. You went to pull away quickly, but he held your body close to his.
"Be my girlfriend, please. I accept your feelings!"
You laughed softly as he picked you up, and you held him tightly so you didn't fall.
"Alright, alright. Place me down before I fall."
"I won't let you fall," he said. Holding you to him and you shook your head, looking up. You could see the happiness on his face, and you couldn't help but cup his face and place your lips against his gently.
"Do you have basketball today?" You asked as he finally set you down, and he shook his head.
"The coach gave us the day off because of Valentine's Day, and she had plans."
"I see; well, maybe we can make plans too?" You asked, shifting, and he held your hand in his.
"Yeah, I want to show you off to my team too." He said, gently pulling you along. Words couldn't explain how happy Okamura was as he proudly walked through the hallways. Everyone stopped and stared confused, and you couldn't help but laugh softly. Once he got to his group of friends, they looked at you than him.
"Don't tell us, you forced her to be your Valentine Okamura," Fukui asked. Several of them were about to protect you, but you clung to Okamura.
"Of course, I didn't force her. She confessed on her own, and we are now dating," he said in a smug tone. Everyone looked at you, expecting you to call him a liar, scream for help, and fight him off. Instead, you leaned up and kissed his cheek, and stepped closer to him. Despite being popular, you were still pretty shy around people you weren't close with.
"Are you serious? Someone as cute as her? Confessed to a big oaf like you? That has to be a mistake. I don't believe it." Fukui said, and everyone slowly nodded their heads.
"Be honest, he threatened you, didn't he?" Liu asked. You shook your head and grabbed the letter from Okamura.
"I wrote him a letter; I am the one who confessed." Your cheeks heated up even more.
"So that is why you rejected me; you had your eyes on someone else. Makes sense now," Himuro mumbled to himself. Okamura blinked several times before looking down at you.
"You rejected Himuro?"
"Uh, yeah. C-Can we go now? This is embarrassing. I wanted to do something for Valentine's Day."
"Right, let's go." Okamura had a new sense of pride fill him. He led you away from his teammates, and Himuro only smiled.
"Doesn't that bother you? That she chose Okamura over you? How are you so calm about it?" Fukui asked.
"I think it's a cute couple, honestly. As long as she is happy, that's all that matters."
"Wow, a romantic." Fukui rolled his eyes.
Okamura felt warmth fill him again as you laced your fingers with his. He placed a small kiss on your hand, and you looked up at him, confused.
"I promise you won't regret your decision choosing me."
"I know I won't… after all, you are my first love Okamura~san."
A/N: Cause he needs love too, and I will shower him in it.
Title: Honesty
Fluff
Warning: Low Self-Esteem
You were currently cuddling with your best friend, Okamura. He had the weekend off for practice so that you could spend time together. These were your favorite moments because you guys would normally just stay inside. On top of everything, your family loved Okamura to death and trusted him with you.
Right now, his arms were wrapped around your waist, and your head was on his chest. He had his face buried in your hair, and you both just stayed like that in silence. That was until he broke it.
"Hey (Y/N)?"
"What's up?" You looked up at him, and he had a small blush on his cheeks. You blinked, slightly confused, and he took a deep breath.
"I want your honest opinion, don't be nice about it. I want your god honest opinion, okay?"
"Okay... what have you so bothered?"
"Am I that ugly and unloveable?"
You blinked once. Twice. Three times before, his question registered through your head.
"What are you talking about? Of course not. Who said that?"
"Are you just saying that because you are my best friend?" He asked, and you sat up, and he followed your actions.
"Of course not; I mean it. You are not ugly or unloveable," you cupped his cheeks. You knew his self-esteem was low, but here lately, you realized it had gotten worst.
Okamura avoided your gaze, and you made him look up at you. You had a secret you never told anyone, but you figured now would be the best time to tell him. He had to know; you just hoped he didn't make things weird afterward.
"Why is it girls don't like me then? Even you, I mean we are best friends. But that is all I will ever be, right? There is no hope in me dating you, or anyone for that matter."
"What? Where is this coming from?" He chewed on his bottom lip, and you were so tempted to kiss him.
"Truth is (Y/N), I realized maybe a couple of months ago that I was in love with my best friend. So I went to my basketball team, and they all pretty much said the same thing as always: I have no chance with you, that I will always be just the best friends. Nothing more. It makes sense, though. I mean, you are gorgeous and can have any guy. I mean, even Himuro likes you. Why would you want me when you can have him."
"Kenichi, can you shut up for a moment? I hate it when you talk bad about yourself. That is all negative things coming from your mouth. Why would you go to them? They don't know me or my type. The truth is I do like you; I have for a long time. For the past few years. Middle School even. I was just scared I would end up ruining our friendship. So I kept it to myself, especially since you were looking for girlfriends outside of me. So I figured you only saw me as a family member. I love you, okay. I always have, and always will," you said. His eyes widen at your confession. You took it one step further and pressed your lips to his, and wrapped your arms around his neck. He instantly held you tightly to his chest but was careful not to hurt you.
You both let a small sigh escape your lips, and you parted just enough to whisper the words again.
"I love you so much, Kenichi."
"(Y/N)... I-I do love you too," he met your eyes. You smiled, and he sat you in his lap before kissing you again. You returned the kiss, and your hands ran through his hair slightly. He nibbled on your bottom lip gently before you allowed entrance. He took his time exploring your warm and wet cavern. You let a small moan escape, and you both parted quickly, having a blush cover your cheeks.
"S-Sorry."
"It's okay; I just wasn't expecting it. I like the sound, though," Okamura said. He pressed small kisses to your neck before nuzzling you.
"So we are dating, right, Kenichi?"
"Yeah, if you want to," he said. You showered his face in small pecks giggling nonstop.
"Of course, I want to. You dork..."
He laid back on the bed and kissed your head, and you curled into him. You both were content with everything, and it was by far the best lazy day ever.
