Oh no.

Oh no no no no no.

This wasn't in the plan.

You found yourself gripping tighter and tighter on the book you were currently reading, now using it to cover your face. You took a glance at the boy in the cap, who was putting the books in their proper order.

'I can't.. I shouldn't do this..!' You screamed in your mind. Hastily slamming the book shut, you got out of your seat and stomped on over to the librarian to check the book out. Tsuruhime called your name out softly, but you didn't listen to her. To you, you have committed such an unforgivable crime to her.

"Thank you." You muttered out before leaving the library.

The book was the latest volume of a series of folktales. He was the one who suggested it to you. He was the one you were supposed to get info on, not the other way around. You left the campus in a hurry, wanting to just forget about your growing feelings for Fūma Kotarō.

"(F/N)-chan!"

"ACK!" You let out a short cry as your best friend tackled you.  "Oh, hey Tsuruhime."

She giggled and rubbed her cheek against yours. You gave her a tired smile and tousled her hair. You two have been friends since elementary, and have been inseparable since then.

"Oh (F/N)-chan! You'll never guess what happened!" Tsuruhime exclaimed, a blush on her face while putting her hands on her cheeks.

"Mhm." You hummed, focusing on reading the book.

Folktales From Around the World: Vol. 3

You loved reading about folktales. There was just something charming about the stories and how they reflected on the cultures of their origins. Too engrossed in your book, you didn't pay attention to what Tsuruhime was saying.

You were in the middle of reading a Swedish folktale when you felt someone flick your forehead. You flinched and instinctively put a hand on your forehead, pouting at the brunette beside you.

"Are you even listening?" She pouted back at you.

"Yes." You replied, closing the book, but leaving a finger inside so that you could go back to where you were reading.

"As I was saying," Tsuruhime started again, clasping her hands together and sighing dreamily. "he saved me! The Wing of Twilight!" She squealed.

You blinked at her. "...Wing of Twilight?" You repeated. What kind of name was that?

"You know... The boy in the library! You should know him since you go there often." Tsuruhime beamed at you, excited to talk about her savior.

"Oh... That guy."

Tsuruhime nodded before looking at you with sparkling eyes. "Since you spend so much time at the library, do you think you could help me get more information on him?" She asked.

"Huh?" Was your reply. "Are you asking me to stalk him or something?" You didn't want to get arrested at a young age.

"Not stalking or anything! I want you to get to know his interests and stuff... And then maybe get us together?" She giggled.

You thought about it for a moment. You didn't want to do this since it felt like stalking to you, but Tsuruhime IS your best friend...

Letting out a sigh, you replied, "I.... I'll try." You turned away in shame. Tsuruhime squealed in delight and hugged you, making you almost drop your book.
