[She laughed, leaning up against him a little more.]
With how you acted around me, I'm pretty sure everyone, your family, Takano and everyone at work thought we were dating.
[It had always been fine with her, she was able to survive, thrive even. Despite the fact that they were never officially a couple. She was content knowing that he loved her even without realizing it.]
I know now that you did love me, and you weren't just being nice.
[as if that could have been the case with how thoughtful he had always been.
It was fine, she kept tlling herself. It was fine if they didn't kiss or hold hands and do other coupley things. It was fine wasn't it? Then why was a certain memory pricking in her mind. One that she had thought best to forget, as Mamoru had clearly done the same. It had started to enter her mind when she mentioned going to see him when he grieved in front of her apartment. There was one particular night when it had become too much, and she had broken one of botan's core rules. She blushed and jerked away suddenly, sitting up straight and clutching her cheeks. She was supposed to be the more together of the two regarding these things, but she too had more-or-less suppressed it since it was just troublesome most of the time. She squeezed her eyes shut trying to shoo the troublesome thoughts away.]
