(Happy Valentine's Day)

(There's some teasers for an upcoming oneshot that might take forever to finish)

(Tsukasa's POV)

Rui
Tsukasa-kun, what are your plans for tonight?

"I don't know, but I am going to a party tomorrow"

Rui
Alright, make sure to come back on time

"You're always like this, you're not my mom or anything, but for some reason I still listen to what you say"

Rui
That's because we're roommates, we live together and we're like family

Family huh?

I haven't talked to Saki for a while, maybe I should give her a call when I'm free and not occupied with whatever trouble Rui is up to

That reminds me

Saki is going to the party tomorrow, it's Ichika's birthday afterall

"So uh,... do you want to come with me tomorrow? It's a pretty small party since it's just some friends"

Rui
No can do, I need to study for exams

"Right, I almost forgot about that, haha..."

Rui
But we can hang out during the weekend as a compensation for that
What do you think, Tsukasa-kun?

"Sure!"

Rui
Alright, I'm done with my homework

He then pulls out a work-in-progress robot

"Looks interesting"

"Is it for our next show?"

Rui
I'm planning on making a show with it, but not necessarily our next one

"Ooh, tell me about it"

Rui
Sure
It's going to imitate an Akumu, an extension of the embodiment of fear casted in the show
I'm thinking it should project a hologram, imitating the soul-eating nature

"This thing eats souls?!"

Rui
It stores the souls of it's victims for it's owner to later the absorb the soul's energy and break it
The owner of this creature wants to kill all monsters and embrace fear among every human in existence

"Monsters as in like the scary creatures in horror movies?!"

Rui
Not exactly for this case, they were once a civilization banished into the underground by humans
That's all I have to say for now, I'll go into further explanations once we get there

"Rui, you should sleep early today"

Rui
Because I've always stayed up late?

"Yeah, and it's not good for your health"

"It has a worse impact on your health than not eating vegetables"

"And for vegetables you can just take supplements instead"

"But sleep is irreplaceable"

Rui
Alright then
If you insist

/Saturday/

Rui
As promised I'll be hanging out with you today!
I have everything planned, let's go

The hangout felt like a date

When we got back to our dorm, I can feel my heart fluttering

It's not like I like him or anything... right?

Right???

/Flashback/

Rui
Say, Tsukasa-kun
Have you liked anyone?

"No, not really"

Rui
If you do, tell me
I promise to keep it a secret and help you
Because I'm your roommate and your best friend

"Thank you, Rui"

"You're my best ever friend!"

/End of flashback/

Oh god what do I do now

If I like him would he think I'm weird for liking him?

Probably not but I don't want to risk the possibility

Rui
Tsukasa-kun, is there something troubling you?

"No, just thinking about something"

Rui
What is it?

"Is it weird for me to like guys?"

Rui
No
In fact, I also like guys

"Alright then"

Finals are coming up, I should study more

Rui
Do you need me to help you

"Yeah, there's still some formulas I can't understand"

Rui
Alright then

We both passed finals and managed to graduate, but my parents said I should be more independent

Guess I'm not going to sleep at my parent's house then

Rui ended up offering me to move in to his place

Long story short we're still roommates

Of course, I always pay rent on time, even though he insists to not pay a lot

Tomorrow is Valentines day, I could maybe...

(Flashback)

"Is it weird for me to like guys?"

Rui
No
In fact, I also like guys

(End of flashback)

Is there a chance that guy is me?

I could try my luck

He's out for some errands, so I texted him

[Hey, wanna meet up at the mall tmr after I finish my shift?]

Rui
[Sure, I have something I need to give you anyways]

[Same here]

The next day, after I finished my shift at the cafe, I went to the flower shop to collect the flowers I ordered and bought a pack of chocolate

I hid the flowers and the chocolate behind me, waiting for Rui

Rui
Tsukasa-kun~
I'm here

"Perfect timing, I just finished getting my things"

Rui
So um...
Here...

He gave me a pack of chocolates

Rui
I used spend Valentine's by myself
When you became my roommate there's always someone staying with me, even though we're nothing more than best friends
So I was thinking... if you can be my valentine this year
It's okay if you-

"I have something better to suggest"

Rui
Go on?

I showed the flowers to him

"So... will you be my boyfriend?"

Rui looks as if he's about to cry

Rui
Yes!

He walked forward and hugged me

We spent the rest of our day in our room, spending quality time together and watching romance animes together
