It had been a few days since the whole incident and for the most of it you had stayed inside your house only going out for necessities. You wondered what had happened and Hanma was always on your mind even though you tried hard to not even think about the boy. You stood in the kitchen in nothing but your summer pyjamas, it was unusually hot in your apartment though it was only the middle of the day. You wandered towards the door unlocking it but keeping the usual screen door so a gentle breeze could hopefully make it through your apartment.

You made your way to the living area, on the couch was a pillow that was completely stained with mascara from your continuously crying about the whole thing. You threw yourself onto the couch, finally for more than ten minutes straight you hadn't cried or began to sniffle about Kazutora telling Hanma about it. You relaxed for a moment before hearing the annoyance of someone knock on the door.

'Coming!' you shouted,

Angrily, you got up and made your way towards the door. Brushing off your clothes you looked up at the screen door making you stop in your tracks. Eyes grew wide, your lips parted and your hands clammy. Standing on the opposite side of the screen door stood Hanma with obvious eyebags and unkempt hair, like he hadn't slept since the whole accident nor cared for his appearance.

'Y/n.' he cried,

His voice cracked, you didn't particularly want to speak to him taking a small step back you watch his eyes flash down as he punched the door to the point it broke open. You ran, you had to, you didn't want to have your heartbroken, you didn't want to ruin things with him, you couldn't. You bolted to your room with the boy hot on your tail, you turned the sharp corner into your bedroom, you slammed the door half way before he shoved his foot there holding it slightly open. You quickly opened the door slightly, kicking him as hard as you could so he would let go. His hands let go off the edge of the door and you slammed it shut locking the lock the master had before you fell to the floor sobbing with a slight hint of a pant from running away.

'Y/n....' he whined,

His voice soft, gentle almost yet it was obvious he was sad and tired from the lack of sleep and that. You just held your breath, you didn't want to speak to him nor let him hear you sob like you did.

'You know, the first day I met you, the day you bumped into me. You had the same heartbeat as the day I met you and the day I found out you had feelings about me from Kazutora, the "dum dumm, dum dumm, dum dumm" that slightly raised when you made eye contact on both days.' He whispered,

He tapped the sound of your heartbeat onto the panel of the door, it made you smile and wipe away the tears.

'Hanma, can I ask you something, if the answer is yes you can stay, if the answer is no then leave and never have contact with me ever again.' you grumbled,

'Okay.' he smiled,

'Do you feel feel-' he cut you off,

'If you're asking if I feel the same way then yes. I wouldn't have ever made sure you bumped into me that day nor would I have ever gotten so close to you like we are. When you stared at my lips I had to hold back. I love you,'

You turned around to the door, flicking the lock. You still held the door shut since the boy was sitting on the other side. You slowly opened the door, feeling the boy move away for the most part. You glared at him, his eyes gentle as he watched your every move with a small smile. You looked down on your hands and knees, you crawled towards him to the point that your body was pressed against his and his arms wrapped around you very gently to the point he was worried he'd break you.

'I love you...' he whispered,

You just smiled, his lips placed gently upon your jaw. All you could do was weep in his arms crying due to the fact you were so stupid you hadn't figured out he had liked you since the two of you met. You felt his head slowly fall and the soft sound of a quiet snore made you realise he had fallen asleep. Maybe it was from the lack of sleep or the relief he had telling you about his feelings that made the boy fall asleep. You grinned before you felt your own eyes begin to flutter shut and soon found yourself asleep in the arms of someone who loved you just as much as you did him.
