01x07 - Episode Seven

[bunniefuu]

All I need is him smiling next to me.

That's how I used to feel.

-This is impossible.
-Try harder.

The deeper my feelings towards him get,

the more I want from him too.

Someone like me doesn't have
the right to fall in love with you.

Do you really feel that way?

But all of those desires are selfish,

and do nothing but frighten Kakeru.

Um, about yesterday...

Ohara.

-I have time now.
-Okay.

Sorry. I'll be right back.

Okay.

Yamato.

Yamato.

What is it?

I'm going to the festival to buy takoyaki.

By yourself?

What are you going to do
if a weird man talks to you?

Maybe you should worry less
about others and more about yourself.

You're having a fight with Kakeru,
aren't you?

DO YOU WANT TO GO TO THE FESTIVAL?

I can't.

I even came all the way to his house...

YAMATO

CALL YAMATO

I can't do it.

I'm going home.

Kakeru?

Mikoto.

Did you not need to see my brother?

I did, but...

I met Kakeru.
We're heading to the shrine together.

I just don't like how I always mess up,
and I'm useless.

I ended up complaining to Yamato about it.

You have no confidence in yourself.

I won't pretend that
I know everything about my brother.

But one thing I'm certain of.

Yamato wouldn't fall for just anyone.

Kakeru!

Yamato...

I'm sorry about the other day.

Me too. I...

Oh! It's Ashiya and Ohara!

Hi there.

You two made up, I see.

We're done with that.

I'm going to the shrine.

Please let Yamato and I go back to normal.

What happened between you guys this time?

Kakeru has no confidence in himself.

I'm happy just being with him.

But

when I thought about how he
always feels like that when he's with me,

it upset me.

And it got a little out of hand.

Did you tell him that?

No.

So many things won't come across
if you don't say them out loud.

If you keep going like this,

you guys will get stuck
misunderstanding each other again.

I'm going to Kakeru.

-Thanks.
-You're welcome.

-Thank you.
-No worries. Bye.

Bye-bye.

How nice, huh?

Yamato.

Kakeru...

Do you still think
that you have nothing to offer?

Yeah.

I see.

Does it surprise you?

A little.

I guess it would.

But...

I like that part of you too.

The part where you lack self-confidence,

the way you can't leave someone in need,

and that you're liked by everyone.

The way you're so sincere with me.

Everything.

You really have lots to offer.

Somehow...

The uneasy feeling is gone.

Thanks.

I really want to reach out and touch him.

I want to hold his hand

and hold him close.

I'm sorry for the other day.

I scared you.

I'll never do anything
you don't want again.

So don't worry.

I...

never said I didn't want it.

Huh?

It did catch me off guard for sure,

but I didn't dislike it.

I don't dislike it.

That's unfair.

You're unfair.

Why do you say stuff like that?

I'll...

do better.

To make you like me.

Where did he go?

Oh! Found him!

-There he is.
-Oh?

What were you two doing here?

We weren't doing anything.

Let's go.

Yeah.

That's suspicious.

I was scared.

Very suspicious.

It tore me apart.

I was worried that this feeling
would break apart what we have.

But...

Now...

I'm glad I fell in love with Kakeru.

It may only be a tiny bit, but it did feel
like something was starting to change.

Kakeru! How did your test go?

Seventy points? You?

That reaction is kind of insulting.

You've been studying really hard lately.

Yeah.

I want to be someone
who can proudly stand next to Yamato.

Wait.

What is it?

Is that it? Is that the reason
why you're studying harder?

What do you mean "that"?

Isn't it part of a plan to
get lots of sweets on Sakisaka day?

Huh? What's Sakisaka day?

You don't know?

Our school's legendary confession day,

born out of desperate need
for partners before Christmas.

Confession? When is that day?

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

It would definitely be weird
for me to give sweets to Yamato, right?

Though

it's just to say
thanks for everything in general.

Besides, I can't keep
pushing off giving him an answer.

Kakeru?

Akane.

We haven't seen each other
since the school trip.

I'm really sorry about that time.

It's fine.

Were you looking for sweets? Is it a gift?

Yeah, sort of like
a thank you for always being there.

Oh, I see.

It's not deeper than that, though.

I think having someone you want to
express your feelings to is wonderful.

You think so?

I'm sure the other person

will be really happy
knowing that you chose it

thinking about them.

Right.

Thanks for helping me choose.

I hope you can give it to them.

If you think about it though,

isn't it kind of gross
for me to be giving sweets?

You're a wonderful person.

I wish you'd believe in yourself more.

In yourself and your feelings.

Akane...

Good luck.

Thanks.

SAKISAKA DAY

-Murasen said he's not coming today.
-No, why?

Not feeling well, going to the doctor.

-That sucks.
-You've got to be joking!

Ashiya.

Why isn't Ohara here on Sakisaka day?

It's the sole reason
I came to school today!

Exactly!

Apparently he's not feeling well.

He's sick?

Why does he get sick all the time?

-He's sick constantly.
-Hey, now.

I'll take them all instead.

-Uh, why would you?
-No thanks.

Ashiya.

Can you give this to Ohara for me?

Again?

-He didn't even take the charm from me.
-You have to do it this time.

Do you always do what people ask?

Can't you think for yourself?

Sorry.

I can't give it to him for you.

Kakeru.

Weren't you sick? Are you okay?

Not me, Mikoto. I texted you.

Huh? It's Mikoto?

-By the way.
-By the way.

Oh, sorry.

You can go first.

You know...

It's Sakisaka day today.

Here.

Who is it from?

Me.

-Huh?
-It's weird, isn't it?

It's weird for me to give it, right?

I just wanted to say thank you.

Ah, no, that's not it.

I wanted to make you happy.

Here.

I'm so happy I could die.

No, that's not...

Actually, I have something too.

This.

It's the first time I baked.

Huh? You made these?

Yeah.

All this time I was confused about...

I'll have one.

...the way I felt about him.

It's delicious!

But

I like Yamato.

Huh?

It's nothing.

You should try some.

I'll have one of yours, then.

Today's topic is how...

Hmm?

...the Sengoku warlords governed turfs.

Huh?

We'll start with the Kandakasei system...

I still haven't confessed.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

I forgot the most important thing.

Attempting a round two at confessing
would be so embarrassing.

I don't even know how to
make one in the first place.

No. I have to tell him.

I love you, Kakeru.

All this time, I've loved you.

Yamato did it for me after all.

But I need to do it in a cool way.

Did you see the episode yesterday?

I did! That confession in the park
was so amazing, wasn't it?

I wish someone would take me to
a pretty place and confess to me.

I don't care where it is...

A pretty... place?

Here, one half each.

Thank you.

Is that thunder?

You know,

I...

wanted to tell you something.

Okay.

I know this took me a while, but...

Whoa, that came out of nowhere.

Kakeru, let's go.

And then I alone caught a cold.

Yamato is here.

Kakeru?

He's asleep?

Why am I pretending to be asleep?

You're lucky, you know.

You get to be with him all the time.

You've been so cute lately.

Huh? What?

What?

FINAL EPISODE

Let's go on a date again.

No matter what his answer is,
I'm glad I fell in love with Kakeru.

-Kakeru, wait!
-So you didn't love me after all, did you?

Why are you crying?
