Couple - Arc 3

Lucid Memories:The Observer's Servant Eyes「明晰思い出:観察者の従者眼」


I wasn't alone anymore, luckily.

Days passed, and even weeks had passed, the two of us grew fond of each other more and more as time passed, with the two of us spending time with each other every single day, the only outcome would be is for us to be closer, I started to like her, but I don't know how to tell her, and all I could ask was "do you only consider me as a family?", and so we talked.

"You were always family, I always looked at you and saw you as a family, a family is all you could ever be.", with that, what if I like you?

"You like me because you don't understand what affection is, what you only know is what I do to you, you don't know what to love someone is.", with that, what does it mean to love?

"If you love someone, you'd be there for them whatever the reason, you won't care what others think as long as you love that person, taking care of that person, protecting that person, helping that person, doing everything for that person, everything that you'd do is for that person.", with that, then what about you?

"If that person I love loves me too, then that person would do the same for me, that's what love is, being there for the person you love, even contradicting them if needed, as long as it's for them, you'd do it, because if they feel the same, they'd do it for you too.", with that, do you have someone that you love?

"Sadly no, I only know the feeling of love by my parents, they were the only ones who who've shown me love, nobody else, they did everything for me, to live, I was everything for them.", with that, why do you do this things for me?

"Because you're the only person I've ever interacted with besides my parents, you were the only one.", with that, is there a chance for you to like me?

"But I only consider you as a family.", with that, why don't you try and look at me as someone who's not a family, but someone different, I don't know what kind of person that is, but why don't you try?

"And if I try, what would I get?", with that, what about me? what about you try and you'll get me? is that good enough for you? am I good enough for you?

"What if I told you that I already like you? what if I already like you but I just can't say it to you?", with that, then tell me now, tell me face to face that you like me.

"Then, I like you.", with that, I like you too.
