"A Blooming Rose" - Yukina x Male Reader

Chapter Three - "For Who I Am"

*(Y/N)'s POV*

Yukinyan's meow was so cute!
Maybe I'll call her Minyato Yukinyan.

Ahem, anyway, I'll be seeing her later today at school!

Just to see her smile, really.
It's so radiant and perfect.

W-wait!
I almost forgot we confessed to each other!
She loves me! Ohh, how could I forget?

My mind isn't acting at 100 percent today!

Haneoka High School, Class 3-A

Class is about to start, and Yukinyan is sitting right next to me today...

Hm? She glanced at me.
Was that a smile? Her cute, trademark smile? Why is she teasing me like this?!

I am so in love with her!
Now we wait until lunch so we can talk!

Huh? Lisa-chan is looking at me too.
What's she saying?

I can't tell. Whatever, then.

After class...

Lisa-chan walked up to me.
"(Y/N), I was trying to say that Yukina wanted to hang out with you during lunch!"

"Well, of course! My Yukinyan promised me that yesterday!"

"That's true, Lisa. Let's go eat together," Yukinyan told me. She grabbed my hand and we sat on the grass out in the courtyard.

She made sure to sit next to me.
She's so awesome!

Yukinyan took out a cup of something from her lunchbox.

"Honey tea," she said after sipping from it. She held it toward me.

"C-can I...?" I asked.

"Sure, try it!"

This would be an indirect kiss, but it's not like we haven't kissed before.

Ahh, just thinking of her kiss makes me feel so happy...

"Uhh, (Y/N)?" Yukinyan asked. "Are you okay? Was the tea that good?"

"Hm? Oh, yeah, loved it."

Yukinyan laughed. "Okay, good. We can have some tea together sometime."

"That sounds great, Yukinyan," I said.

"You keep calling me Yukinyan... Why?" she asked.

"You know why! You're the cutest cat-- and the cutest cat-lover ever, Yukinyan!"

"Ha, you're right. Hey, can we finish talking at the park today?"

"Sure," I agreed.

Lisa laughed. "You two are cute. I've never seen you so happy, Yukina."

"We're cute?" Yukinyan said. "You're going to make me blush."

Yukinyan wants to see me at the park?
Sounds like a special occasion!
