Ugh... I didn't get a wink of sleep...
"N/N, I love you."
Why did she have to say that? This makes things so complicated...
I already have Elise, don't I?
But I don't want to outrightly reject her either... if I do, what will happen to our friendship...?
I sigh.
"N/N, can I come in?"
Hm? Elise?
"Ah, yeah...sure."
How should I face her...?
I haven't told her about what Alisa said...
She enters the room.
"Elise..."
"I know about Alisa."
"Then..."
"You're free to accept her."
What?
"Are you sure...?"
She nods.
"I've thought about it. As long as you aren't taken away from me... I'm fine with sharing you... but you still have to pay attention to me..."
How cute... even right now, she's blushing while averting her gaze...
"Besides... she's strong. Stronger than me, perhaps... she can protect you better..."
"Stronger than you...?"
Strange. Elise would never admit that... even if it's true.
"Elise... you..."
"I've already decided. Please don't make me change my mind..."
I chuckled slightly.
What a thoughtful person...
She really only cares for me.
In any case... I suppose I don't have to hesitate to much now that Elise is fine with it...
It's not like I haven't thought of it before... but still... a relationship like that...? How would it work?
My mind drifted off...
"N/N, I love you."
"Y/N, you're ours, 'kay?"
"Uhm..."
Elise placed her arms around my waist from behind, and Alisa placed hers around my neck from the front...
Sandwiched like this... is an awfully dangerous situation...
I can already feel my face heating up...
"N/N? What's wrong?"
"...!"
This is awkward...
"It's nothing... I was just... thinking."
"About?"
When I stare into her eyes, I remember my previous thoughts...
No! Begone impure thoughts!! Begone!
Okay, I'm ready.
"Elise... I've decided."
She perked up.
"I'll accept her."
"Then... what are you waiting for? She's been waiting for you a really long time... you should give her your answer."
I nod.
Now that I think about it...
How long has she been waiting...?
Too long...
I get up.
"Elise, I'm going to give her my answer."
"Go ahead then."
_____________________________________
I sigh for the tenth time today.
I haven't seen Y/N at all. I'm too scared to face her...
What's wrong with me?
I was so bold yesterday... where did all that confidence go?!
I said I'd make her fall for me, but at this rate, I won't even be able to talk to her...
This is impossible... maybe it's best to start packing and leave after all...
Part of me doesn't want to know the answer to her question...
I'm scared, for the first time in my second life...
I'm scared of losing her.
"Alisa!"
Huh?
A blurry figure tackles me.
"Y/N?"
"I... I accept you."
She... she ran here to tell me that? Her hair is all ruffled up, and her face is flushed...
"Y/N... you ran here to tell me that? You could've just..."
"I didn't want to keep you waiting any longer... so..."
She's so... nice..
"Y/N... I love you so much..."
"E-eh?! Why are you crying?!"
I'm... so happy...
I'm just... so happy...
I wrapped my arms around her slightly smaller frame.
She wipes away my tears, clearing my slightly blurred vision.
Ah, the concerned look on her face. How precious.
I get reminded that this was the very face I first fell for.
Ever since, I've discovered more things about her, and fell deeper.
"Y/N, I love you."
"Wha-?"
She's so easily flustered.
A cute little thing indeed.
"Alisa."
"Hm?"
She... she kisses me on the cheek.
_____________________________________
She's crying... did I do something wrong after all?
Even after a while... her tears keep falling...
If there's something I can do to cheer her up...
What cheers Elise up?
Well... mainly just... attention... and doing anything intimate...
In that case, it should be the same for her, right?
"Alisa."
"Hm?"
I lean closer, and tip toes, before pressing my lips on her cheeks.
Her eyes widened, but her tears stopped flowing, only to be replaced by a burning red face.
She placed her hand on her reddened cheek.
"Y/N..."
What is it...?
"Hm?"
"You missed."
What?
She leans close, and tilts us to the side, leaning in as she placed a kiss on... my lips...
When she pulls back, my face was just as red as hers was a moment ago...
"Pfft- Y/N, look at your face..."
"Hey! That's cheating. It was too sudden."
She smiles gently before leaning in again.
From the corner of my eyes, I spot a group of students coming by...
"...?!"
We're going to be discovered...
When Alisa connects our lips, she covers my face from the view of the students.
"M-Miss Alisa...?!"
The students seemed shocked.
"S-she's doing that here?!"
"Fellow schoolmates... don't you think it's a little rude to intrude?"
"A-ah, yes... we'll take our leave now..."
They quickly scurried off.
At least my identity wasn't exposed... phew.
"That was a close call, hm?"
"You- you still did it even though you saw them coming..."
"Whatever do you mean?"
Playing dumb?!
"Alisa, you-!"
She chuckles.
"Yes, love?"
Days later, rumours of the new student council president, Alisa, secretly dating another student spread.
