My internet is really really really crappy right now, because we went over our bandwith somehow and they super slowed down our connection. Took me an hour to get this to load, even then it didn't load right so hopefully this will post.
I decided to write another Yuki POV. Mexony you can more than use this in the next chapter or whatever. What Yuki says is uber important. <3
Enjoy!~

Later that afternoon...
Rai-chan was waiting for me when I got home that afternoon. She sat in her usual spot at the table,looking at the picture Yuya and I had taken the night before. I said nothing as I set my bag aside and sat down at the table, wincing as I bent my leg to sit cross legged. My knee was still hurting a bit.
Looked at Rai, she smiled at me. “Yuki, Kota called me earlier.”
“Oh?” I was surprised
“Yes, he has invited you and I to the Yaotome family vacation.” she grinned.
“Huh?”
“You heard me, Yuki.” she smiled “So, do you want to go?”
I thought for a long moment. I wanted to go, I really liked them and I wanted to get to know them better. But, I had to fix that awkwardness between Yuya and I first. “Hai, I want to go.” I half smiled.
Rai raised a brow at me and I looked down at the table. “What's wrong Yuki? You don't seem that excited about it.”
“Ano, I am excited, really I am. I..I just need to fix things first. I need to tell Yuya how I feel.” I blushed as I looked up at her.
“I see...”
“Yeah. I think I need to do so before work tomorrow, Yuya has his shift during mine. I don't want it to be awkward.” I looked down at the photos of Yuya and I. My heart went doki doki as I looked at them. I want more memories with him.
“I was thinking of telling him today. I don't think I can wait, Rai-chan.” I looked back up her and weakly smiled.
“Do what you feel is right Yuki, follow your heart.” Rai gave me a comforting smile. I nodded and watched as she pulled out her phone and started writing a text message.
“Who are texting?” I asked curiously.
“Kota. Telling him we said yes about the invitation.” she smiled but didn't look up from her phone.
I pulled my own phone from my bag and looked at it. I flipped it open and stared at the background on the small screen, it was of Yuya sleeping. It was the picture I had taken the night before. Pressing a button I opened my contacts list, only four numbers were listed, Yuya's was at the bottom. I scrolled down and pressed send. Slowly I brought the phone up to my ear, I was nervous, very nervous.
It rang a few times before I heard his familiar voice.
“Hey..Yuya it's Yuki..” I said a bit nervously. I saw Rai look up at me as pressed the send button on her own phone sending the text to Kota.
“I was wondering...if you could meet me at the park near you?” I was relieved I had gotten the words out correctly. I was nervous still though as there was a small moment of silence before he said yes, making my heart go doki doki.
“In twenty minutes?” I asked.
“Hai. I'll see you there.” I said sounding a bit more happy.
“Bye bye.” I hung up the phone and looked at Rai who was smiling at me.
That's when it fully hit me, what I had done. My eyes widened as I became even more nervous. Rai noticed this and quickly grabbed my bag and fished the pills out of it. Opening the bottle she would take a pill out and literally shove it into my mouth.
“Swallow it Yuki, and breath.” she said, her voice was still calm which helped me a bit.
I did what I was told, and swallowed the pill. My eyes closed and I took in a deep breath, counting to ten in my mind. Once I got to ten I let out a sigh and opened my eyes, Rai was just smiling at me.
“Very good Yuki.”
“Ne Rai-chan, why the pill?” I asked
“So you wouldn't panic, I know it doesn't work right away but it will help when you go talk to Yuya.”
“Oh..” I really didn't like taking those pills. I didn't like the feeling of relying on them. But I saw her point, it was probably for the best. The last thing I needed was to have a panic attack in front of Yuya. That would be so embarrassing.
Slowly I stood up and glanced down at what I was wearing, my skirt and shirt had gotten a bit dirty when I had fallen. I went to my dresser and pulled out a pair of black jeans and a baby blue t-shirt, before going to the washroom to change. I also washed my face and brushed my teeth. I felt a bit more refreshed. I also pulled my hair out of it's normal pony tail and let it hang freely after brushing it out. “Kawaii, Yuki..” I said to myself as I looked in the mirror. I walked out finding Rai-cahn waiting for me.
“You only have ten minutes Yuki, let me take you.” she offered with a smile.
“Arigatou, Rai-chan.” I smiled as I grabbed my cell phone and slipped it in my pocket as well as my small wallet. Grabbing my keys, we slipped our shoes on and headed out. As we drove to the park, I felt a bit nervous, but not as much as I would have been if I hadn't taken my medication.
When we pulled up and parked I saw Yuya there, sitting on a swing. I looked over at Rai-chan, “You can do it Yuki. Just follow your heart.” she said and I nodded before getting out of the car. I thanked her and shut the door before walking towards Yuya.
I turned and waved at her, and she waved back before then driving off, leaving me there. I should have been more nervous because she wasn't there, but I just wasn't. I turned back to Yuya who had now noticed me and he waved. I waved back and continued walking towards him.
He stood as I approached him, and I felt a wave of confidence wash over me. With a smile I stopped long enough to take his hand and lead him away from the playground. We walked in silence until we reached a tree. I stopped under it and turned to look at him.
“Yuya, I'm sorry if I hurt you earlier today.” I said softly as I stood in front of him. “I was a bit shocked. I've never had anyone like me before. I feel bad for the way I reacted.”
He looked like he was about to say something, but without thinking I pressed a finger against his lips. My hand then moved to take his other hand and I entwined my fingers with his as I looked up into his eyes. I felt nervous, my heart was going doki doki, but I still felt that confidence there.
“Ano..I couldn't find the words then...but my heart..it goes doki doki too.” I blushed. “Ever since that first day you talked to me in the store...I really like you Yuya.” I lightly squeezed his hands. “I've never liked anyone before. This is all new to me..demo...I want us to be more than friends.” I smiled.
Those last eight words had caught me off guard, they had just slipped out without much thought. I blushed. I hope that wasn't too bold of me. I did though feel so much better getting those words out to him, about how I felt. As I waited for his reply I felt frozen in place, I felt like I should hug him but I couldn't move. I felt that confidence start to fade away.
Time felt like it stopped.
