I ask Tang to read the note to me,
he seems to decide to
just summarize it.
“So, Macaque likes you.”
I tilt my head in confusion.
“Of course he likes me,”
“We're best friends?!”
Tang shakes his head
slowly and waves me off,
handing back the letter.
I ask Mei instead and she
starts ooo-ing.
I tilt my head again.
“What?”
Mei looks at me, quite amused.
“You didn't tell me you were gay?”
She giggles, nudging me playfully.
I was quite taken aback,
and... well, very confused.
“Enough with the small talk.”
“what does it sayy..??”
I start getting very annoyed.
“Well~!!”
“The six-eared Macaque loves you!”
She seems very calm
while saying that.
“LOVE LOVES you~!”
She continues to giggle.
My face turns red,
unsure of how to feel.
“Oh.”
I mumble, starting to walk away.
I never considered Macaque like that.
Is it weird to think it doesn't matter?
I don't care about labels.
I end up deciding to eat
another creampuff and
wander to Macaque's house.
I clutch the sweater
I forgot to give back to him,
running through my plan as I walk.
I think over it several times,
making sure each detail is perfect.
I knock on his door,
and he seems a little stunned
- and flustered.
“I, uh, forgot to give this back to you.”
I hand him the sweater and before he can put it away or anything...
I get on my tippy toes and
kiss him on the cheek.
“I think I like you, too.”
I dart away before
he can say anything,
I feel quite embarrased,
but my plan went accordingly.
“T-thank you..!”
He shouts, I can just barely hear him.
“For the sweater...”
He adds quickly.
I rush through town to get back home.
It's probably gonna be a bit tricky to have a conversation after this, isnt it?
Well anyways...
