Tachibana 1

>"Did you make all of these?" You ask, looking at the shelves in Tachibana's place lined with models of mech suits. She nods.

>"This must have taken forever to do." Tachibana nods again, her silence as striking as always.

>You see an unopened box sitting off to the side. "Why haven't you made this one yet?"

>Tachibana walks over to you, opening the case and pulling the box out to look at it.

>"This one is special." She says with a smile. You look at her awe struck, her beauty at this moment almost blinding you.

>"W-What's special about it?" You ask, trying to keep your composure.

>"It's from a series where the robots are powered by the love of two people. therefore, I wanted to make this one together with the man I love."

>"The guy you love, huh?" You say, your face dropping a bit. "What kind of guy is he like?"

>Tachibana sits there for a moment, thinking. You've seen this face time and again, as she tries to find the right words.

>"He must be an amazing guy to make you think about it like that." You say. Tachibana blushes and smiles with a small nod.

>"I love him. Very much." She says, holding the box to her chest and hugging it tightly. You look to the floor in defeat.

>"I'm sure he feels like a very lucky man."

>'He doesn't know yet." She said suddenly. "But I think it's time I told him today."

>Tachibana grabs your arm in hers as she walks over to the table with you, a shy look on her face. "Will you build this model with me, Anon?

>You blink, almost not believing your ears. But when she smiles softly at you from beneath her scarf, you can't help but smile back. You nod, sitting down next to her as she pulls out the parts of the model and hands you one half of them.

>"You build this half." She says.

>"Ok. Why this half?"

>"This is the half from the female pilot. I'll build Anon's half, so he has to build mine." She says. You just can't get rid of the smile on your face as she leaves you feeling like the luckiest guy in the world.
