PREPARE YOUR INSULIN SHOTS, YOU"RE GETTING A DIABETES"Aaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwww~"
That"s the audience"s reaction to my accepted confession. It brought tears to everyone who is watching us. Even our teacher Macho Steel is now crying. Those who helped me; Asumi-nee, Ayano, Miss Awane, Miss Harie, Mrs. Noctis, the newly-revived Emily, and the normally emotionless Key are now blus.h.i.+ng with their eyes watery.
Rikkun and I pulled out from our intimate hug and then stared at each other"s gaze while completely memorizing the details of our faces.
"Rikkun…"
"Tiara…"
"KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSS!!!" The audience started to roar.
Rikkun and I copied each other"s blush. The spotlight is just centered at us! It"s so embarra.s.sing to do this in front of this many people!
"...R-Rikkun… They"re asking for a k-k-k-k-kiss…" I bowed as I let steam gush out from my ears.
"I know." The golden-haired prince smiled.
Slowly, our faces drifted closer. I closed my eyes and focused all the sensation to my lips.
Chu~
It"s so soft. His lips are so soft and kind of wet, like a rose petal soaked in mountain dew. His mouth is slightly opened, so I felt the tip of his tongue.
Seeing this, the audiences applauded. Millions of claps echoed around the convention center.
Then the curtain falls.

It"s now Sunday.
I never slept last night. Rikkun and I texted until 3 AM. We even sent "Good Night My Love" with complete heart-heart and smiley and kissing face emojis to each other but even with those magical texts, I failed to rest.
Actually, I thought that last night was just a far-fetched dream, and I don"t want to wake up from that. I"m afraid that the next time I close my eyes, I realize that it was all just my imagination during my sleep.
I consumed the entire dawn hugging my pillow like crazy. I never really thought that my wish has been granted. Maybe destiny is approving our relations.h.i.+p after all.
Hey, I have a boyfriend now!
We are supposed to meet up at the amus.e.m.e.nt park at eight, and here am I, waiting beside the bench at seven. I got so excited that I want to be so early. In fact, I"m earlier than the amus.e.m.e.nt park"s opening, which is supposed to open at our meeting time.
This is our first date as a couple after all. This is no longer a date fixed by the Idol Club or some third-and-fourth wheel during double dates. This is a legitimate date for official couples like us!
Do I look good? Do I smell good? I checked my clothing and body, desperately finding for some flaws in my sense of fas.h.i.+on.
I got so self-conscious, so I walked around the establishments near the Dradecim Amus.e.m.e.nt Park to look for a mirror. As I pa.s.sed through the front of a nearby coffee shop"s gla.s.s wall, I saw my reflection. I"m wearing a presentable and cute long white dress with ribbons. I saw a part of my bangs that is 20 degrees out of place so I persistently fixed its direction.
No good. I have to look presentable in front of my boyfriend. I glared at the reflection of my cheeks. Blush, check! The powder I used on my facial skin looks flawless! I think this will do!
I inhaled deeply to calm my throbbing chest. I closed my eyes and told myself to focus and calm down. I"m so nervous.
When I opened my eyes, all my nervousness faded away. It was immediately replaced by shamefulness.
Why? Because at the other side of the gla.s.s wall is Rikkun who appears to be drinking coffee, and now his eyes are locked on the shameless me who is trying to fix her appearance!
Both of us are dumbfounded. Both our faces are in full red alert.
Rikkun made a satisfied smile, while I… I uttered a silent cry.
"...Auuu…"
Please kill me...
<>
It looks like I"m not the only one excited. Rikkun also arrived forty-five minutes before the opening, but he decided to kill time while drinking coffee in the nearby shop. He"s wearing a checkered polo-s.h.i.+rt, brown shorts, and semi-formal shoes. He looks like those celebrities taking a vacation on a day-off.
When the park opened, there are already a lot of people who lined up for the rides. There"s a ferris wheel, carousel, haunted house, roller coaster, b.u.mp cars, and other rides.
"S-So… What do you want to ride first?" I muttered.
"What about the roller coaster?" Rikkun had this devilish grin on his face. I think he"s plotting something.
I looked at the roller coaster. It"s so high and mighty, and the train looks not that fast. I have never tried this ride before, but I think it looks fun.
"Yep! Let"s try it!" I smiled jollily.
<>
I regret it.
The train is now rising on the uphill slope. I can do nothing but to stare at the blue skies while the tension builds up to our doom. Why… Why is this thing taking so long to climb to the top anyway!
"R-Rikkun…" I made a pitiful puppy glare at my boyfriend. "I-I"m sorry! I"m scared! I wanna go home! P-Please stop this!"
But all he replied is this insulting smirk with a "Heh!" laugh.
Then… the train finally stopped when it reached the peak. The metals clanged, and the coaster tilted downwards! We… We"re falling!
"K-Kiyaaaaaaaaaaah!!!" I cried as we fell down like a bomb.
But thankfully, Rikkun is there to hold my hand. It somehow removed the uneasiness on me, but still, this ride is scary!
"Don"t let go of me, okay! Don"t let go! Don"t let go of my hand! I"ll dieeeeee!!!" I cried.
<>
"Aaaaaah!" Rikkun stretched out his arms. "That was h.e.l.luva fun!"
He gave this satisfied smile, while I"m just trying my best not to throw up. That roller coaster is way scarier than Helena! I almost peed myself, and I can"t feel my b.u.t.t! I"m still thinking that I"m floating!
We rested on a nearby bench for a while. I"m waiting for my hangover to be cured while Rikkun proceeded to buy a cotton candy for both of us.
There was a white bunny mascot who is giving out some kind leaflets. It went to my side and gave one to me, then the mascot immediately left and proceeded to distribute the fliers.
"Hey, what"s that?" Rikkun looked from behind me as we read the fliers at the same time.
"The Dradecim Amus.e.m.e.nt Park will be celebrating a fireworks party this evening! While in a spot where you can view the fireworks if you"re able to kiss without being seen… It"s said that the couple will be happy for eternity…"
Both of us are silently blus.h.i.+ng.
It took five seconds before one of us uttered a word.
"...Tiara… Do you want to try it?" Rikkun asked.
"E-Eh!?" I shortly shrieked. I tried to look away from his eyes as I answered. "S-Since we already have this chance… maybe we should try it…"
