Summary
𝅘𝅥𝅮 I feel close. Well, maybe I'm not, heaven knows. 𝅘𝅥𝅮
Relationships were never Ken Takaura's strong suit. Can you even fault him? He is an awkward fellow, after all. Ken internally cringes, thinking of that line, but it describes him to a tee.
Making connections with anyone was a monumental effort that would crash and burn in front of his face. For years, he gave up after trying in vain to make friends to the point that he stupidly thought contacting aliens would cure him of his loneliness. Spoiler alert: it kind of did. In his seventeen years of existence, he never thought he'd had anyone show him the time of day. His parents clearly don't.
Yet, when she entered his classroom on that fateful day, it was as if time stood still. Then suddenly, he went from being invisible to being seen, and goddamn, did it feel good. At first, he was only content with making one friend, but now he has at least two other people he can call friends! Out of all of the friends he's made so far, he feels the closest to her. He wants to get even closer to her.
A fic inspired by Dayglow's Can I Call You Tonight?

Summary
“Uh, Miss Ayase, d-did I do something wrong? You’re quiet.” She looks up at him in shock, face somewhat flushed.
“N-no! Why would you think that, Okarun? I’m not mad. I’m thinking.” She turns away, gripping his hand tight. The flush on her face goes from pink to red. She nervously taps her manicured nails on the floor with her free hand, struggling with what she wants to say. “So, um, there’s something I want to tell you…” she trailed off, “It’s about your confession…” Momo avoids looking at Okarun directly; her eyes focus on her lap.
Ken’s heart hammers in his throat. He was afraid this would happen. She’s going to reject him. “I'm sorry, just forget that I confessed—I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable! I’m an awkward fell—” Okarun blurts out at break-neck speed. Momo lets go of his now sweaty palm and covers his mouth with both of her hands.
