It had been three days since my incident with the football, and Ryuu was still feeling sorry. How do know?
Ryuu-fuckin-Gavril:
"Eleaanorr…"
l already knew what he wanted, but with an exasperated sigh, I set aside my guitar and still asked.
Me:
"What?"
Ryuu-fuckin-Gavril:
"What if she hates me?"
Me:
"Ryuu…l thought we already established the fact that she doesn't?"
Ryuu-fuckin-Gavril:
"I knooow. But still..it's not like l talked to her since then. I should apologize again."
Me:
"Has she shown any signs of hating you?"
It took him some time to reply as l expected.
Ryuu-fuckin-Gavril:
"…no. She smiled at me."
It felt a bit weird to be referring to myself from someone else's perspective, but I still smiled. Again. I recalled that moment during lunch earlier. I caught him glancing my way, and knowing from his previous text messages that he was still worried, I smiled at him when we made eye contact, adding in a small wave. He seemed relieved, but if chatting with Ryuu had taught me anything, it was that he's a bit of a worrywart.
So really, I was expecting his text.
Me:
"Then you don't have to worry. She's fine, Ryuu. Take it from me, ok?"
Ryuu-fuckin-Gavril:
"Ok, ok."
I could feel him pouting, and the mental image made me laugh.
