Nothing seemed to be well right now. It wasn't fair. Yaito had always had a comfortable life. But now she was plagued with the fact that Enzan was a complete jerk, and even more plagued that despite that, she liked him. A lot

Enzan emerged from the house a froze. There was the very person he did not want to see. He stood there, wavering, highly tempted to go back inside.

You made her cry.

Nothing twisted harder than that. He didn't want to make her cry. He didn't really want to make anyone cry. That went too far.

She thinks you don't like her at all. Do you like her?

"I..." Enzan shut his mouth, but too late. He had already said it out loud. "Yaito..."

Yaito jerked when she heard his voice. Why did he have to show up now? Why couldn't have Pride shooed her out of the house some other time? She curled up tighter, ignoring him, hoping he'd go away.

Enzan sighed, bowing his head in defeat. He gave up. Being in denial did him no good. He walked over to the steps and knelt in front of her.

"I'm sorry," he said quietly.

Yaito simply turned her head to stare at the wall.

Yaito's eyes clouded. "You said I'd be the last one to know, if you did like someone."

"I didn't mean it," Enzan said, with a sigh. "I don't like Netto-chan, deko. Not like that. She's just a friend."

"But she's nice," Yaito insisted softly. "I... watch you when you're around her. You always smile around her. She's prettier than I am, and she doesn't get angry, or make fun of you..."

"I do not always smile around her!" Enzan protested. "I don't mind when you pick on me, Yaito--I pick back! That's what we do. And... she's not prettier than you."
