I was the one who broke her phone.

I took a deep breath and said, "I will buy you a new one"

"Why?"

"Why...because you lost your phone"

"But I have two tablets"

"But no phone, right?"

"Sely said she would buy me one"

"I feel like she is taking my place"

"Why do you think so?

"Nevermind"

I don't even know what I am saying anymore.

"That phone," Elena kissed me saying, "You were the one who gave it to me"

"Yeah"

"On my last birthday," she added.

"Yeah

She chuckled and said, "I still remember what you said when you gave it to me"

"I can say it again"

She bit my cheek and said, "Say it then. I would like to hear it"

"It won't be exact same words, but I will try"

"Okay"

"As I said in the morning, birthdays are never special. They were never meant to be special"

"When you say it's your birthday today, to me, it's like a normal day. But to you, it might be special," I added.

Her eyes kept getting more and more widened as I continued, "It might be your birthday today. It might be your special day, but it doesn't have to be a birthday to make it a special day. Let me make your everyday special, let me make your every birthday special, let me make your life special"

She started clapping.

"Come on" I grabbed her hand and said, "Stop it. It's embarrassing"

"But it was so cool"

"I don't think it was cool"

"It was. And unlike last time, you said this with such confidence this time"

"That's because you are mine now"

"We weren't going out at that time, and you said all this. Now that I think of it, it sounded like a proposal or at least a confession"

"Yeah. I realized that after I went home"

"I realized it the next moment you said it. But I was too happy that time to pass any comments"

"Maybe I actually wanted to confess to you, but couldn't find the right word"

"That's not possible"

I pined her nose saying, "Don't deny it that easily"

"That's because there is no way you would be the one to take the initiative in any of the relationsh.i.p.s"

"That's not true. I was the one who took the initiative with Serah. And I was the one who confessed to Lier"

"Both are false"

"They are not"

"Serah had first kissed you. And confessed to you too. So it's not an initiative"

"Uh..."

"And it was the same with Lier. She kissed you and confessed to you, and after that you confessed to her" 

"So you are saying I am an easy guy who can fall for any girl if kissed by them?"

"Any doubt?"

I don't know about that.

It is true that I never thought of Lier that way until we kissed. And as for Serah, there were similarities between us. 

Somehow, I could understand her feelings. Maybe I fell for her because of that? And for some reason, it feels like I have known her for years. 

Then there is Lily. We never kissed until recently. So that doesn't apply to her.

Next is Daulla. It's pretty complicated to explain about her.

Yup. Elena is wrong. I don't exactly fall for them after the kiss.

Talking about kisses, Robena kissed me too.

I don't understand.

Why?

I can't find any possible reason for her to kiss me.

If what Lily says is true, that she is in love with me. I don't understand that either.

Like how and when did she fall for me?

I don't think we were even friends.

Though I am dense and suck at understanding people's feelings. So I am not the one to say that.

I don't think anyone else has kissed....Rias.

I totally forgot that she kissed me.

I got slapped for that though.

Well, she is someone I won't be interacting with anytime soon.

Elena combed my hair with her finger and asked, "What's wrong? Feeling sleepy?"

"Nah"

I cradled her face and rubbed my thumb on her cheek saying, "Say Elena, did I...was I able to make your life special?"

She smiled and kept staring at me.

"Was I able to make you feel special?" I added.

"Was I?" I asked again.

She moved her hand down to my face and pinched my nose saying, "You did. Every day I live is special because of you. Since the day I met you, my life has been getting more and more beautiful"

How can she say something so deep with such a face?

"Me too" I replied and added, "The best thing which happened in my life is that I met you"

If it wasn't for her, I don't think I would have been able to survive this long.

If only we two were there, would we be happier than we are right now?

But well, I don't regret that decision.

"Hey!" She sat up and said, "I got too many messages from our classmates and schoolmates"

I pulled her and said, "sleep"

"But I want to show you all those messages"

"Ignore them"

"They were hilarious"

"Hilarious?"

"Yes"

"What do you mean?"

"Let me show you"

She tried to get up again but I pushed her back and got up from the bed, asking, "Which one?" 

"Any is fine. Both of my tabs are synced"

Why did I even bother to ask?

I grabbed her tablet and sat on the bed.

"What's the password?" I asked.

"Nevermind" I added as I unlocked the tablet.

"How did you unlock it?!"

"Secret"

"Even though I had set up five different locks..."

Wow.

"Setting up five won't make your device safe. Just keep it encrypted. That way you won't have to worry about anything even if it gets lost or stolen"

"You look experienced," she commented as she snatched the tab from my hand.

She immediately opened her messages and showed me.

504 messages! 

"This is a...lot" I took the tab from her hand asking, "Who the hell are they?"

"Our schoolmates"

"Why are they messaging you?"

"Did you forget yesterday?"

"Huh? Oh! I am a king now, so they are bothering you?" 

I will just block them all.

"They aren't bothering"

"If this isn't bothering then what is it?"

She frowned her eyebrows as she said, "You got engaged with Lier last night"

"Ah!"

Why did I forget that?

Dammit!

"So they all think you dumped me"

"Wha...!"

"It's totally natural for them to feel that way"

"What did you say to them?"

"I haven't replied to any of them" 

"Good"

She wrapped her arms around me and said, "Since they think we broke up, I am acting as if I am sad and locked up in my room"

Sigh~

I sighed as I said, "This is a huge misunderstanding, and you are enjoying this"

"It's interesting that way"

"Are you saying we should play along?"

"Yes. Let's show them some drama"

"I am sorry but I can't act like we broke up"

"You don't have to"

"Then how will it be 'playing along'?"

"You just have to be yourself"

"Why do I think that this was an insult?"

"You were always rude and hash to me from the first day we met. And everyone knows that. SO just be yourself"

"I won't promise I will play along"

"Don't you want to see what's in those messages?"

I threw the tablet on the bed, but before it could land, Elena grabbed it.

"Don't throw it!"

"I won't break"

"It won't, but don't throw it"

"Fine" I took it back from her hand and said, "Sleep"

"I will read some messages"

"You are being annoying"

"Then yell at me like you used to"

"I can't do that" 

"Then I will annoy you more by reading these messages"

"Fine. I will read them"

I swiped down and clicked on the random message.

'Sad to hear you broke up with Das'.

We haven't broken up!

"Read more," she jumped in.

"Why do you look so excited?" 

"I don't know. But it's funny"

I opened one more random message.

'Why did he dump you?!'.

I didn't dump her!

I once again opened a random message.

'LOL. He cheated on you'.

F.u.c.k you!

I couldn't stop myself from reading more messages.

Now I get what Elena looks so exciting.

'Serves you right! LOL. LOL'.

I will LOL you bitch!

'I told you not to trust him'.

Who the f.u.c.k are you!

'Rich are always playboys'.

I can't comment on this one.

'Did you know about this?'

No!

'Since when he was a prince'.

Ever since I was born.

'When did you guys break up?'.

We didn't!

'Hey. So you are free now?'.

I will kill you personally.

'I can go out with you if you want'.

No need! I will send you somewhere from where you will never return.

'If you want to talk about this, I am all yours'.

Who is this?! A girl or a boy?

'Hey. He cheated on you. Want to cheat on him with me?'.

Congratulations. You are on my top list now.

'Bitch! Whore! S.l.u.t!'.

What the f.u.c.k is this?

I turned off the tab and put it on the table.

"What's wrong?"

"It just ruined my mood"

I shouldn't have read more.

She kissed me and said, "By this we can know how they see the world"

"I don't care about that. I just don't like them judging you"

"Let them judge. Let them think whatever they want"

"I never thought I would hear this line from you"

"You used to say this all the time"

"And you used to oppose this"

She chuckled and said, "I think I have come to understand your thoughts."

"So I am influencing you?" 

"From the very first day we met"

"Please don't because arrogant like me"

"Maybe I will, but not with you"
