Dekisuki pov:

At 3am I realized I should clear all the misunderstandings. But what if he is straight? Im going to confess it. I like him, NO, I love him

Next day, I wake up at 7 am, as it's Sunday its 4th Sunday of month. I got ready. I wore baby pink t-shirt and styled my hair and applied perfume. I called nobita.... He picked up.. I said, "nobita,it's me, dekisuki today there is group study at my house 8am come early"(lie) He siad, "hm"

When he came, he asked me, "where are others?" I said, "I need to tell you something" He froze

Nobita pov:

What does he want to tell me? He said, "let's go to my room" I"it's important,please?" His eyes vulnerable.. I followed him... As I enter his room, he locks the door behind him. He sits next to me and said, "what I'm about to say may sound weird but it's true it's ok if you don't feel same" I froze as he continues, "I love you,nobita..i really love you ,from 5 grade.....it may sound weird but I love you" I said, "Liar,you liar..you love s-shizuka!!" He said,""You always assume I love Shizuka… but you never once asked who I really love." ..it's you, Nobita. It's always been you. It may sound weird but I love you...you think I'm straight but im gay and I love you ,nobita" I said, "I love you too,dekisuki" I whispered, voice shaking. I didn't know if I wanted to cry or laugh or scream. I just knew I wanted to stay in this moment.

He reached out and took my hand, carefully, like I was something precious. His fingers were warm, steady, grounding me.

"Can I…?" he asked softly.

I nodded before I could even think.

And then… he kissed me.

It was gentle. Careful. Like a question and an answer at the same time.

My eyes fluttered shut as I leaned in, letting it happen. His lips were soft, his touch light. It wasn't like the kisses in movies—no fireworks, no dramatic music—just this warm, quiet feeling blooming in my chest.

It was real.

We pulled away slowly, eyes meeting, faces red and smiling like fools.

"You're real," I said without thinking.

He laughed under his breath. "So are you."

And for the first time in forever, I didn't feel like a joke.

I felt loved.
