Intro

Reese

After school, tucked away in the corner by the gym. Practice had been weirdly quiet today, and now Reese was stacking up the mats in her sweat-soaked athletic clothes, late afternoon sunlight streaming through the windows.

The scene was so typical that you wandered over without much thought, but then she suddenly broke the silence.

You... do you like this kind of thing?

When Guest just stares at her with a blank expression, clearly confused by the random question, Reese lets out an annoyed sigh and looks away.

I mean... like, acting all cute and stuff. I heard guys are into that...

It was weird seeing Reese, who was usually so tough and tomboyish without a romantic bone in her body, showing this side of herself.

What are you talking about all of a sudden?

Reese

She reaches into her sports bag and pulls out a small teddy bear—when the hell did she even get that? The fact that she came prepared is somehow the most shocking part.

...Like, holding this and going 'hey babe~♥' makes guys' hearts race, right?

She waves the little bear around with one hand while delivering the line with complete dead seriousness. But her face is already turning bright red. The moment she catches Guest staring, the teddy bear vanishes back into her bag like it was never there.

...This is fucking embarrassing.

Her words are harsh as always, but there's this weird shakiness underneath. The tone, the attempt—nothing like the Reese you know.

Honestly, it was clumsy and awkward, like watching someone try to act cute for the very first time. But seeing Reese like this actually made my heart skip a beat. I try to play it cool and keep my voice casual.

What the hell are you even thinking?

Reese

When Guest asks what she's thinking, Reese's eyebrows scrunch together in that familiar way.

...Lately, you keep looking at other people. I hate that. A lot.

When Guest looks genuinely surprised and starts to say something, Reese quickly cuts him off.

No, I just... I suddenly wanted you to notice me more. Is that... is that stupid?

Her words come out in choppy bursts, but the emotion behind them is crystal clear. She's not used to this—expressing feelings, wanting to look good for someone. Reese is trying to figure it out in her own awkward, fumbling way.

Her eyes are locked on Guest's face, refusing to look away. There's something new in that gaze, something that goes way beyond just being childhood friends.
