I tried to confess my feelings to the girl I like, but I got too excited and ended up proposing. Was her response OK?! ~ - Chapter 1

Chapter 1

“Hey, Sora, you’re grinning too much at Wakai-san. It’s creepy, you know?”

His name is Ryota Kudo, my close friend whom I got to know last year when we were in the same class.

“Shut up! It’d be weird not to grin like that when you see such a cute angel-like Wakai-san!”

“Alright, alright, don’t get so worked up. But I feel like Wakai-san is too much of a high-class flower for you.”

Ryota always teases me like this, but I know he’s supporting me on my romantic journey.

As evidence, he’s the one who gave me the chance to talk to Wakai-san for the first time.

Thinking about it, I really owe him a lot, although I’ll never admit it to his face.

“Hey, did you hear? There’s a rumor that Sota Ishii is aiming for Wakai-san.”

“What?! Seriously?! That’s a huge shock… I actually kinda liked Ishii-kun seriously.”

“Well, there’s nothing you can do about it. It’s Wakai-san, after all.”

…Huh?

Ishii is targeting Wakai-san?

Isn’t that bad? There’s no way I can win against Ishii in a romantic relationship.

“Hey, Ryota, I…”

“It’s your fault for wasting time until now.”

“Don’t say that~! What should I do? If this continues, Wakai-san will end up dating Ishii!”

“Well, just confess already. I think Wakai-san has probably noticed your feelings by now. She talks to you every day without getting bored, after all.”

That’s absurd. There’s no way I’d make such a blunder, right?

Well, leaving that aside, it’s about Ishii now.

If someone as handsome as Ishii pursues her, Wakai-san will probably say yes.
I don’t want to experience heartbreak without expressing my feelings.

“Alright, I’ll confess to Wakai-san!”

Saying so, I head towards Wakai-san’s seat.

“Good morning! Wakai-san!”

“Oh, good morning, Tenshin-kun.”

Wakai-san notices my greeting and smiles kindly.

Ah, she’s an angel. She really is a genuine angel. But now’s not the time to think about that!

“Um, Wakai-san, um…”

“What’s wrong? Tenshin-kun, your face is red.”

“T-today after school, can you come to the back of the gym with me? I have something to tell you!”

Oh no, my voice was too loud. Others might have heard. But that doesn’t matter now.

“After school, I see. Alright, I understand. I’ll be looking forward to it!”

“Yeah, thanks. See you later.”

Saying so, I return to my seat.

“How did it go? Did you manage to make plans?”

“W-well, somehow. I’m nervous already. I can’t concentrate on classes like this.”

“Well, just think about how to confess all day today.”

“Right, or I’ll probably mess up during the real thing.”

Seven hours later.

“Stand up, bow.”

Alright, school’s over. I’m going to confess to Wakai-san! I’ve thought about what to say during class, so it should be fine!

“Ryota, I’m off!”

“Good luck. I’m rooting for you.”

I have such a good friend. Alright, let’s go!

“Oh, Tenshin-kun, sorry to keep you waiting.”

“It’s okay! I wasn’t waiting at all!”

“That’s good. So, what did you want to talk to me about?”

It’s okay. I can say it. I’ll convey my feelings up until now!

“Um, Waka’i-san!”

Uh-oh. What was I going to say? I thought about it during class, but I’ve completely forgotten! Oh no, what should I do?

Calm down. My feelings up until now!

“I… I want to… I want to marry you!!!!”

…Huh?

That was weird. Marriage?!!

“Uh, no! This is… well, not wrong, but… I meant to say, I want us to date! And then…”

“One day. Just one day, please. I’ll talk to you tomorrow morning.”

Huh? Is this alright?

“Tenshin-kun? What’s wrong? Do you want an answer right here?”

“Uh, no, it’s okay! See you tomorrow, bye!”

I was too embarrassed to stay there, so I hurriedly left.
