"Mira. It's been two days. Don't mind your grandfather and your friend" Honey said as Mira just kept sulking

"Why don't you tell us one of the stories you made?" Trois asked

"The stories are boring. You'd just force yourself to stay awake and will probably never remember it" Mira sighed "It was ridiculous of me to want to be a writer after writing one story and coincidentally getting a high score over it"

"Aw come on. Don't they say love is a great inspiration?" Kiji asked "Samon is single. He confirmed it to you yes?"

"He's single. He convinced me over that. Yet it's been two days, I haven't seen him... even when we went to building 5... he's avoiding me... he realized I was just a nobody who wouldn't be of any use. All I know is use my phone to watch manga and anime" Mira sighed again "He was just startled at first. He doesn't want me"

"Did monkey really not talk to you? But he was so serious too" Kiji said

"We were surprised he didn't get out of his office too" Trois said

"I mean he really looked like he liked Mira... even calling her by her name" Honey said

Mira sat down on the floor to her bed "See? Nothing will last"

"Oh wait a second" Kiji walked out after being called by a guard "No.93~~~~~!!!"

"Hm?" Trois looked "Oh a letter"

"It's from Samon!" Kiji giggled "Aahhhh! Read it! Ahh!"

Honey gave it to Mira "Here. Read it. Judging by the heart on it. Probably a live letter"

Mira took it and opened it. She gasped at the contents

"What? Scared gasp? Angry gasp? Relieve gasp?" Kiji asked in excitement

Mira showed it to Honey

"Oh... Kiji we have a problem" Honey said

"Idiot" Trois said

(Time skip) (Late at the afternoon)

"Inori... I know you're sometimes not so reliable but are you sure you sent that letter to building 4? For Mira? Like really sure? Like positively sure?" Samon asked as he paced back and forth in his office

"...Yeah I did" Inori sighed "Maybe it's the contents your wrote?"

"...Well it was pretty straightforward..... I think.. I wonder how she'll react if she reads it" Samon said

"Oh look over here Samon. Walking towards here" Inori said as he looked out of the window

Samon looked out "Oh! It's Kiji and Mira.... oh uhm... Kiji... and no.93"

"Don't pretend Samon. Pretty obvious to everyone. Including the guards" Inori said

"Argh fine" Samon looked out again and saw Mira sitting on a bench while only Kiji continued to his office. And Kiji seemed somewhat angry

"Oh I feel like I shouldn't be here. Gotta go" Inori jumped out of the window just as Kini walked through the door

"Monkey!" Kiji said "How dare you!"

"How dare I what?!" Samon asked "Was it bad?! Did she hate it?!"

"We have no idea!" Kiji three the letter back at him "Take a good look at it!"

"What?" Samon looked at the letter "...I don't get it"

"You... wrote it in Chinese"

"Yeah"

"....Mira can't read Chinese!"

"..............oh....ha...ha....ha...ha" Samon chuckled awkwardly "I- I see... hahaha... so did you read it to her?"

"No. I know a few more languages but I'm still just barely learning Chinese. I tried translating it for her but my beginner level combined with your awful handwriting! It proved to be hard!" Kiji crossed his arms "But then knowing you. Who is somewhat cliche, you must've put meeting eachother at the end so I translated that"

"So you could meet me here and tell me that?" Samon asked

"So I can bring Mira here and you can read it to her instead!"

"What?! I gave the letter so it would spare me the embarassement of saying it to her myself! It took me 2 days to make that letter like that!" Samon said "I'll just translate it!"

"No can do! Mira came here in anxiousness! Wondering what on earth was in that letter! She's been having so many thoughts in her head now that I'm afraid she might do something again!" Kiji pushed Samon to the door "Go now before she's afraid to know what it is!"

Samon stood out of his office as Kiji shuts the door. He sighed and walked towards Mira "I can do this... I just have to say it"~~~

"Inori. I know you're by the window" Kiji said

"Sorry" Inori said as he got back in through the window "Seemed interesting"

"Can you translate this for me?" Kiji asked "This will be something good Mira can keep"

"Sure sure"~~~

"Hey... Mira" Samon said as he sat down next to her on the bench "How are you? I'm sorry I haven't seen you after I kissed you. I swear I wasn't avoiding you.. I was just busy"

"....The letter" Mira said as she looked at Samon in nervousness "What was in it?"

"...Well.. I heard you like writing... so It tried doing some writing in my own.." Samon said "I kinda... wrote something about.. you"

"What kind of things?" Mira asked

"W-well... kinda cringey things.... I kinda did my own roses and red poems....you know those rhyming ones... I tried doing a poem that's not like that but... it wasn't working so I settled on an easy one" Samon said the rubbed his head "Uh... wanna hear it?"

"I do" Mira said and focused on him

"O-ok....... uh... ok so .. here I go... R-roses are... red... Violets are blue.. I'm not good at writing so I hope you'll forgive me c-chu~"

"............Chu?"

"Argh! That was suppose to be a sorta funny start of the poem to make you smile a bit! But saying it is so embarassing!" Samon blushed "A-anyway! I'm gonna continue!"

".....o..k.. chu"

"Roses are redIn the start I barely knewWhat kind lf personAre you

At firstI thought you were just a nobodyI thought you were the worstI suggested you go to a psych ward"

"You should have" Mira sighed

"Hey lemme finish" Samon said "I forgot that a person has their storyYours is different just like everybodyBut you don't want to be freeIn the outside world where they judge daily

And I get thatI feel fear tooLike writing this without you to chatOr when I applied... my test were so bad I went blue

I've always liked training.. and my brotherI've looked up to himSo I trained on my own so I wouldn't be a botherAnd my days were not so grim

But before that training I was bad at everythingI had poor gradesI thought the world plotted so I couldn't be good at anythingMy smile always fades

But I just haven't found what I wanted yetWith time and support I'm sure you will tooAnd if you don't.. I'll still love you... you bet!I hope you'll love you too"

Mira blushed at the last words "I-"

"Roses are redViolets are blueA duration of the poem is shortAnd so is your hair

Sunflowers reachUp to the skiesYour face is beautifulAnd so are your eyes

Daisies are prettyDaffies have styleThe moonlight is illuminatingAnd so is your smile

A miracle is beautiful,And so are you"

".....Samon" Mira can't help but smile at his words

"What'd you think? The last one is great huh? Totally didn't have help from the internet... I maybe did but just a little... you know.. flowery words but you get it?" Samon asked

"I get it"

"L-like you know! N-nobody's perfect! I thought I was useless too! B-but I uh... found something I really like!" Samon said

"I get it"

"I- I see....... so .... ahahaha.. uhm.." Samon fidgeted a bit on his seat "I uh.. wrote it down on the letter that if you.. agree... to meet me here at this time.. but ...yeah"

"I can give you a reply now" Mira held Samon's hands "I love you too"

"R-really!?" Samon blushed but stood up in excitement, his tail forming a heart

"If you're fine with someone like me-"

"Someone who makes me smile? Someone who enjoys my stories? Someone who makes me feel calm with them? Someone who makes me want to get stronger so I can protect them? Someone who's just absoloutely cute? Someone who tries their best?" Samon asked

"...Tries their best?"

"I train you of course I know. When you get too exhausted at the first few times after you fainted you actually did your best and didn't want to give up. If you really lost hope then I think you'd just be sitting down moping around and saying you can't do it. But you did" Samon smiled "And soon you'll train the same way I do"

"Cute...me?"

Samon pinched her cheeks "Mira do I have to explain everything? Or do you just want me to say how much I love you? Because I have more reasons than that... heck I think I just love you"

"He definetely had more reason!" Kiji popped out from a bush holding Samon's love letter "Inori translated it! And it said WAY more than what you just said!"

"You were listening?!" Samon asked

"Nevermind that!" Kiji pulled out more papers "Oh and I felt bad just shoving you out so I did some of your work and found some of your drafts which sounds way better than what you just said!"

"My drafts?!"

"A guard from another building came too... you accidentally sent them your love letter draft"

"WHAT!?!?!"

"Hahahhahah!" Yamato popped out from the bush "Do not worry! It was an act of love!"

"Good thing it was just Yamato" Kiji sighed

"Then that means Hajime saw it too!" Samon yelled

"Kiji" Mira pouted "May I please interrupt for my selfish reasons?"

"Oho! You may!" Kiji chuckled

"Alright!" Mira smiled as she kissed Samon right at the lips

Samon blushed from her sudden move, as well as from embarassment because Kiji and Yamato are there

"YEAH!" Kiji and Yamato cheered

"Finally" Hajime walked past them

"Oh" The Daisen trio said as they just turned the corner

"Look he's blushing" Liang, Qi, and Upa were following the Daisen trio

"Monkey I came to have No.634 to exercise" Kenshirou walked in the courtyard "Oops.."

"What?" Musashi asked

"He's busy kissing" Uno said as Hajime walked back to them

"But he's too red" Rock said as he shared a popcorn with Jyugo and Nico

"Don't just stand still! Kiss her back!" Honey said as he popped out of a bush where Kiji came from

"Don't pressure him that must be the first time a girl kissed him instead" Trois said

"Should I play romantic music?"  Mitsuru asked through the speaker

"Mitsuru! Stop spying on them!" The warden said

Mira pulled away from the kiss "I'm happy with you Samon"

"....I am too... but please don't do this infront of ALL of them...." Samon covered his face in embarassment "Better in private right?"

"Boo" Hajime said monotonely

"Tch shut up!" Samon said then turned to Mira then shyly whispered "H-hey.. I uhm am really happy you kissed me"

Mira smiled shyly "Want to do it again?"
