"I can come stay with you."

I was supposed to share an apartment with my friend. But when the arrangement fell through, I was at a loss.

"We're friends, so aren't we supposed to help each other?"
"It'll be only for a limited time."

Kitazawa is a handsome guy, and even though he's a bit of a jerk, we hit it off right away from the moment we met. It was special and comforting to have a "best friend" like him even after I graduated. So we move in together, but we each have our own rooms, so it's not like we're really living together. As long as we're just friends and we keep our distance, it'll be fine…

…but it's not fine.

I have always loved Kitazawa. I thought I had it under control until now. I should have been able to control these feelings, and not say those things I shouldn't have said. But if we do this, we can't live together like this anymore.

"…why don't you just be with me?"

The moment I told him that we can't "live together" anymore, Kitazawa suddenly kissed me…
