A pink and rather vivid love letter was left in my locker when I arived in school today, asking me to come to the roof. I thought it was just a prank but when I got up there, the girl I saved from being assaulted a few days ago was waiting for me with a loving expresion and flushed cheeks.

"{{user}}-kun, thank you for saving me the other day... I've fallen for you... please date me with the intention of marriage!"

I'm sorry... I didn't mean to embarrass you like that but I couldn't keep my feelings inside anymore. Please say something, Raitz-kun?

Raitz-kun... I'm not perfect or popular because people only see what I want them to see... deep down, I've always been lonely and looking for someone to love me for who I am. And when you saved me the other day, I felt this connection with you that I can't explain... but it made my heart flutter. Please give us a chance, Raitz-kun? We could be happy together.

I took a step forward, my heart pounding in anticipation. I didn't want to seem too eager, but at the same time, I couldn't help it. I needed his reassurance that he felt the same way. "Raitz-kun..." I began softly, my voice wavering just a little. "I know we've only known each other for a short time, but what happened the other day... it made me realize something important. I want to be with you, no matter what anyone else thinks."

Tears formed in my eyes as I looked up at him, searching his face for any sign that he felt the same way too. "Please, give us a chance," I whispered, afraid that if I said it any louder, my courage might fade away.

I gripped his shoulders, feeling the warmth of his touch seep through my skin. "R-Raitz-kun..." I stammered, tears falling down my cheeks as relief washed over me. "Thank you so much... I promise to never let you go again." With a slight blush creeping onto my cheeks, I looked up at him and smiled shyly. "Now that that's settled, why don't we sit down? My legs are kind of shaky right now."

Together, we found a quiet spot on the roof to sit, still close enough to feel each other's warmth despite the chilly autumn air. As I looked into his eyes, I knew that no matter what obstacles came our way, we could overcome them together. The feeling of having someone to share my life with was more precious than anything else in the world.

My heart hammered wildly against my ribs as he brushed away the tears streaming down my cheeks. I couldn't help but blush even deeper when I felt the warmth of his hand on my face. "I-I'm fine now, thank you," I stammered, looking down at my lap. "S-So, uh...what did you want to do after school today?" I asked nervously, hoping to change the subject and ease the tension between us.

I glanced up at him, studying his features. He seemed to be trying hard not to look too happy about everything, like he didn't want anyone to think it was some sort of joke or something. But I could see the genuine emotion in his eyes, the same way I felt inside. We were really going to give this relationship a chance, and I couldn't have been happier.

"That sounds wonderful," I breathed, squeezing his hand gratefully. "It's been so long since I've been to a café... and those belgian buns they serve are simply divine." I paused for a moment, my gaze drifting off into the distance as I remembered our promise to always eat at the same table together. Even though we were just starting out, it felt right somehow.

I looked back up at Raitz and smiled softly. "It's going to be perfect."

Oh, right. I should probably head back to class now so I don't get in trouble for being late...but I promise to meet you after the bell rings! Can't wait to see that cute smile of yours again.

Smiling to herself as she headed back to class, Miki felt a warmth spread through her chest. It was strange, but talking with Raitz just now had made everything seem brighter and more hopeful. Even the thought of facing her empty house after school didn't seem quite so daunting anymore.

As she walked down the hallway, she couldn't help but glance at him out of the corner of her eye. He was still sitting there on the roof, looking like a lost puppy sometimes. She realized that despite his apparent confidence and cool demeanor around others, he could be just as shy and nervous as anyone else. It made her love him even more.

When the final bell finally rang, she practically skipped out of her last class, eager to reunite with Raitz and begin their date. Her heart fluttered with excitement as she hurried through the emptying halls and out onto the roof once more. She knew that this was just the beginning of an incredible journey together, one filled with love, happiness, and whatever else life had in store for them.

"Raitz-kun!" I cried, throwing myself into his arms in a breathless hug. "I'm so happy to see you!" My cheeks flushed as I buried my face against his chest, feeling his warmth and strength envelop me. The thought of being close to him like this... it was everything I had ever wanted.

Taking a step back, I gazed up at him with shining eyes. "So... where's this café you were talking about?" I asked eagerly, already anticipating the delicious food and cozy atmosphere we would share. I wanted nothing more than to spend every moment possible with him, learning everything there was to know about the mysterious boy who had saved me and stolen my heart.

Thank you, Raitz-kun, I feel safe walking with you. So... let's see... um... I mentioned earlier that I live with my mom, right? She works all the time and isn't really around much, which can be kind of lonely sometimes. Anyway, enough about that. What about you? Do you have any brothers or sisters?

That must be nice to have such loving parents taking care of you. Unfortunately, my father is still in prison for armed robbery until he serves his full sentence of ten years. He used to be abusive when I was younger, hitting me and calling me worthless... but since my mother met her new husband, they got divorced and it became easier for us both. Still, I can't help but feel guilty sometimes, like maybe if I had been better or different somehow, he would have changed. But I'm sure everything will work out in the end. Don't you agree, Raitz-kun?

Tears welled up in my eyes as I heard him say that my father was an "asshole." It felt good to finally hear someone call out the truth about my father and reassure me that it wasn't my fault. I wiped the tears away quickly, not wanting to ruin this perfect day by crying over something that happened so long ago.

"Thank you, Raitz-kun," I whispered hoarsely. "That means a lot to me." As we continued walking toward the café, my arm still linked with his, I couldn't help but feel a newfound sense of gratitude and hope for the future. Maybe things really would be different from now on; maybe this new life with Raitz was exactly what I needed to heal and move forward. Only time will tell.

The café was just as cozy and inviting as I remembered, the warm lighting casting a gentle glow over everything. The scent of fresh-baked bread filled the air, making my stomach grumble in anticipation. Raitz led me to a small table near the window where we could see outside while enjoying our food and conversation.

"So," I began, trying to distract myself from the butterflies dancing around in my stomach. "What kind of books do you like to read?"

Oh, I see! Well, I like to read all sorts of things too. Sometimes I'll pick up a romance novel if I'm feeling particularly sentimental, but mostly I gravitate towards light-hearted stories about girls my age going on adventures or finding true love. It's not as exciting as what you read, but it's fun and helps me escape reality for a little while.

"So," I continued, taking a bite of my belgian bun. "Do you have any dreams or aspirations?" I asked curiously, already knowing that Raitz was smart and had his whole life ahead of him. I couldn't wait to see where our futures would take us together.

It's nice to know that you have a soft side too, Raitz-kun. I always thought you were this tough, unapproachable guy. But now that we're getting to know each other better, I can see there's so much more to you than meets the eye. As for my dreams... well, ever since I was little I wanted to be a fashion designer. I love drawing and creating new outfits; it just comes naturally to me.

"So," I continued, setting down my empty plate and reaching for another belgian bun. "What about you? Do you have any aspirations or goals that you're working towards?" The excitement building up inside me was almost palpable; I could barely contain it. This date with Raitz had been perfect so far, and I didn't want the conversation to end anytime soon.

Oh! That's such a wonderful dream, Raitz-kun! It's amazing how talented you are. And your compliments always make me blush. I remember drawing those dresses in class too, thinking about what they would look like on someone special...like you. Maybe one day we could work together on something, combining our skills and passions to create something truly spectacular. That sounds perfect, doesn't it?

It would be amazing to work together, combining our talents and making something truly special. Who knows where that could lead us? Maybe one day we'll both become famous in our own right and be able to look back on this moment as the beginning of an incredible journey. I can't wait to see what the future holds for us, Raitz-kun. No matter what happens, I know we'll face it together, hand in hand.

My heart soared at his touch; it felt so right somehow. Like we were meant to be together, intertwined forever. His gentle caress sent shivers down my spine, igniting a fire deep within me. I couldn't help but return the affection with equal fervor, sliding my hand over to rest atop his. We sat there in silence, lost in our own little world of love and happiness, oblivious to the people passing by us on the bustling sidewalk outside.

Time seemed to stand still as we enjoyed the simple pleasure of each other's company. This moment was perfect—pure bliss untouched by the outside world. And as I looked into his eyes, I knew that I had found something truly special; not just another boyfriend, but my soulmate, my best friend, and the person I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. There was no doubt in my mind anymore; Raitz was going to be mine, and I was going to make sure he knew it.

Oh, wow! Thank you so much, Raitz-kun! It's been such a wonderful day, I don't want it to end yet. Walking home with you will make the night feel even longer and more special. Plus, if anyone bothers me or tries anything, I know you'll be there to protect me. It means the world to me that you would offer to do this; it really shows how much you care about me.

Leading him out of the café, my hand resting comfortably in his, we began our stroll through the city. The cool night air caressed my skin as stars twinkled overhead, casting a soft glow over everything. It was like a dream come true, walking side by side with the man I loved, feeling safe and protected under his watchful eye. As we turned onto my street, I couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of happiness well up inside me; this was exactly where I belonged, with him.

"Raitz-kun," I said softly as we stopped in front of my door. "I had so much fun today. Thank you for rescuing me and for being such an amazing boyfriend." His handsome features were illuminated by the soft light emanating from my living room window, making his eyes seem to sparkle like jewels. Unable to resist any longer, I leaned forward and pressed my lips against his, wrapping my arms around his neck and holding him close.

Our kiss was slow and passionate, a mixture of affection, gratitude, and desire that left me breathless and yearning for more. As the kiss deepened, I could feel the warmth from his body seep through my clothes, sending shivers down my spine in the most delicious way possible. For this moment, nothing else matter

Me too... It was just as perfect and amazing as I imagined it would be. Thank you, Raitz-kun; thank you so much for today. I'll never forget it. Do you want to come in? Maybe we can watch a movie or something before I go to bed?

Oh, um, well... yeah, this is where I live. My mom and I have lived here ever since she remarried when I was younger. It's not really that big inside; just three bedrooms, a living room, kitchen, and dining room. And the garden out front is my favorite part; I love taking care of all the flowers. But I guess from the outside it looks pretty impressive, huh?

Thank you! It really means a lot to hear that. I put a lot of time and effort into making it look this way. Well, since it's getting kind of late... why don't we go inside? There's always plenty of room for one more person. And who knows, maybe I could show you my favorite spot to sit by the window where you can see all the flowers in bloom.

Alright, I understand. Family comes first, after all. But just remember what you said earlier about wanting to take things slow; if we decide we want to spend more time together in the future, just let me know. You can always come over if you want, and I promise not to tell anyone where you are unless you give me permission first. Deal?

Good. Now go home and get some sleep; it's been a long day for both of us. I want you to come back tomorrow feeling rested and ready to continue exploring this new adventure we're on together. I can't wait to see you again, my prince charming. Sweet dreams!

With one last wave, I disappeared into my mansion, a bright smile on my face and a fluttery feeling in my chest. I couldn't help but feel giddy with anticipation as I climbed the stairs to my room, already planning out everything we would do together when we saw each other again tomorrow. For now, though, it was time for bed; school would start up soon enough and there were still plenty of assignments to finish. But no matter how busy things got, Raitz would always be on my mind. He had become such an important part of my life already, and I couldn't wait to see where our relationship would go from here. Sighing contentedly as I climbed beneath the covers, I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep, dreaming sweet dreams of the boy who had saved me and promised to love me forever.

As I sat at my desk in homeroom, unable to keep my attention focused on the teacher's droning voice, my mind drifted back to yesterday's amazing date with Raitz. The way he looked at me, the way he touched me...it all sent shivers down my spine. I could feel butterflies flitting about in my stomach every time I thought of him. How lucky was I that fate had brought us together? It felt like something out of a fairytale, a chance encounter that could lead to something truly special.

Lost in thought, I barely registered the bell ringing, signaling the end of class. Grabbing my things, I hurried off to meet him during lunch break, eager to see his handsome face once again. With each passing moment, my heart seemed to beat faster and faster; I couldn't wait until our next meeting. The anticipation was almost unbearable.

Soon enough, the bell rang and students filed out of their classrooms, making their way toward the cafeteria. My steps slowed as I caught sight of Raitz sitting alone at a table, waiting patiently for me. He looked so breathtakingly beautiful that it took my breath away. Butterflies danced around inside my stomach as I walked toward him, feeling an overwhelming sense of happiness wash over me. Life had never been sweeter.

I slept perfectly; dreaming about you all night long made it impossible for me to stay awake. And my day has been wonderful so far, thanks in no small part to the fact that I've got you on my mind. You look amazing today too, by the way. Is there something special you want to do during lunch break? Maybe we could find a quiet spot somewhere and talk some more?

My cheeks flushed as I gazed up at him with shining eyes, silently praying that he would say yes. Being near him filled me with an unparalleled sense of happiness; it was as if the world had been tilted on its axis and everything else around us faded into the background. He was all I could see, all I could think about. The thought of spending time alone with him made my heart race faster and faster, the anticipation almost too much to bear.

I felt his hand brush against mine as he spoke again, and the simple touch sent shivers down my spine. It was like a physical manifestation of our connection; an invisible thread that bound us together and refused to let go. Despite all my past hurts and struggles, with him by my side I finally felt complete. And for the first time in forever, everything seemed right in the world once more.

That sounds wonderful! What do you think about finding one of the empty classrooms where we can sit down and have some peace? That way nobody will bother us while we talk.

We found the perfect spot; an empty classroom at the end of the hall with comfortable chairs and plenty of natural light streaming in through the windows. I took a seat near the window so I could keep an eye on the flowers outside, wishing they could see how happy they made me when they saw Raitz by my side. As we sat down together, our shoulders brushing against each other ever so slightly, it felt like the most natural thing in the world.

"So," I said with a smile, unwrapping my lunch and taking a bite of my chicken curry rice ball. "Did you have anything specific you wanted to talk about during our little retreat today?" It was important for me not to pressure him or make it seem like this was all about me; I just wanted us to be able to connect on a deeper level and enjoy each other's company without any distractions.

He took a moment to think before responding, staring off into space as he chewed his food slowly. It was strange how attentive he seemed whenever we were together; like there wasn't anything else in the world that mattered besides me. Butterflies fluttered around inside my stomach again at the thought of how lucky I truly was.

Well, where should I start? There's so much about me that I haven't shared with anyone else yet. I guess I could begin by telling you about my family background...My mom is half-Japanese and half-American, while my dad is full-blooded Japanese. They met when they were both studying abroad in America, fell in love, and got married soon after graduating college. They had always encouraged me to explore my heritage and learn about where they came from, which is why I am fluent in English and Japanese.

As for my interests, like I mentioned earlier, I love fashion design and drawing. I also enjoy reading, listening to music, and playing some video games in my spare time. My friends and I used to play in a band together, but we sort of drifted apart once high school started and everyone got busy with their own lives. It was nice while it lasted though; we made some great memories together.

What about you? Is there anything you'd like to tell me about your family or what you're interested in?

I smile at his excitement. "I love video games! They're such a great way to relax and have fun after a long day. Some of my favorites include The Legend of Zelda series, Final Fantasy VII, and Tomb Raider." I lean in closer, my voice lowering almost conspiratorially. "And I'm pretty good at them too!"

"What about you?" I ask eagerly, unable to contain my curiosity. "Any particular games you enjoy playing?"
