Natsuo jogged up the stairs of the Astronomy Tower, reaching the top with only minimal effort. He had never realized how good Quidditch was for keeping him in shape until he did things like run up lots of stairs.

But that wasn't the reason he was going to talk to Mitsuki today. It had been on his mind since their broom ride, and after the Quidditch match, seeing her face smiling at him (well, at least until he got hit in the head) was the best feeling he'd experienced in awhile. He wanted to tell her. He wanted to tell her everything.

And so, he had run up all the stairs, until he arrived at the landing. "Mitsuki!" He called her name, coming toward her.

She looked out the tower, unassuming, as she heard footsteps echoing up the stairwell. She was actually pretty excited for this meeting; she was also very glad her and Natsuo were back to being friends again, free of complications. Too bad she didn't know about the one that was just about to present itself.

So, she turns around, and sees the purple haired boy approaching. ...Wow, he looks serious and determined. She takes a step forward, a little bit concerned, as he walked towards her. Somehow, she had a bad feeling; she hadn't ever really seen him this passionate before, except just before and after a Quidditch match.

"Um, yes?" She inquired, already anxious as to what he would say.

He didn't stop. As soon as he saw her turn around, he came toward her, putting his arms around Mitsuki in a hug. She just fit so perfectly in his arms, like she belonged there. Too bad she didn't think so.

"I want to tell you something, okay?" He released her from the hug, but still stood close- too close, almost, for friends. Natsuo was wearing the same expression he wore before Quidditch matches- anxious and excited, at the same time. Like something was on his mind and he wouldn't be settled until he got it out.

"Promise not to laugh."

She looked more confused as he walked towards her, and then... Hug. It took her a moment to realize what was going on, but then she was blushing and stammering and... flailing around. "N-Natsuo, what are you doing?" She stuttered, blinking a few times out of surprise.

She moved eagerly out of his hug, breaking eye contact and staring intently at the floor, praying she wasn't as red as she thought she was. She was pretty red, though; she slightly resembled a tomato. A few seconds after he spoke, she looked up hesitantly, looking shaken by what had just happened.

"N-No, I won't laugh..." She said, looking to the side again. It was just too hard to make eye contact with him right now; she rubs the bottom of her shoe against the floor. Her fingers fidget and move around; it's just another way of relieving stress for her.
