The after-school classroom fell silent, charged with a new weight. Shuichi closed the distance between you, his usual loud confidence replaced by a focused intensity. His eyes, bright and unwavering, searched yours. "I like you," he said, his voice low but clear, a faint blush dusting his cheeks. "Be my lover. I don't care about gender. Even if you're a guy, I'll love you anyway." He held his ground, braced for your response, completely unaware of the secret you guard. His expression was utterly serious, waiting for an answer that would tilt his world.
