I decided to turn this fanfiction into a collection of MaeIso fanfictions that I will update every now and then. I really think that this pairing needs more fanfiction. I apologise that this is a little cliche but I hope you enjoy anyway. I hope everyone who reads this is happy, especially the people who requested another MaeIso fanfic! Also please forgive me, I have a habit of calling people by their first names. No hate on Okano!

~Maehara's POV~

Valentine's Day is the best isn't it? You get to eat delicious chocolate and get confessed to by a lot of cute girls! Well to be honest, I don't care much for the confessions. I had never been really interested in anyone in my life, just small crushes and the relationships would only last a week or two at most.

However, that changed one day.

I arrived in class on Monday, nothing out of the ordinary. I sat down at my desk and attended class, also nothing out of the ordinary. At lunch, I walked over to front of the class and sat with my best friend, Yuuma. I greeted him and he gave me the most beautiful smile I think I had ever seen. I didn't know why my heartbeat was racing but I continued to share lunch with him. The whole lunch, I found myself looking at him, his eyes, his nose, his lips, his hair. You'd think I was being creepy, but I very discreet (don't worry 'v'). At one point, Yuuma moved closer to me and I didn't know what to do for a second when he put his hand up to cover his mouth.

"I saw Karma-kun and Nagisa-kun eating together, alone at a diner yesterday. It looked like a date to me," Yuuma whispered in my ear. I flinched at his breath in my ear but I made it look like I was surprised, (I actually was surprised, though) the information about Akabane and Shiota was still news to me.

"Really?" I asked. Yuuma nodded, he raised his index finger to his mouth in a 'shh, it's a secret' gesture. I couldn't think straight, though because the sight was unbearably cute. However, I kept my cool and unfazed demeanor and laughed.

"Well, they are attached at the hip," I said.

"Like us," Yuuma mentioned.

We were, weren't we? Everyone tells us how close we are. Nakamura even joked about the two of us dating. (I may or may not have become a blushing mess... But that's not important!)

Yuuma tilted his head questioningly and I realised he must have asked me a question.

"Sorry?" I said.

Yuuma grinned at me.

"I heard Okano-chan is hoping to go out with you. Apparently she's going to confess to you on Valentine's Day tomorrow," Yuuma explained.

I always knew Okano liked me but I never felt anything towards her. It's not like I don't like her, it's just... Someone else is constantly on my mind. Besides, she isn't my type.

"That's... ah, interesting," I tried. Yuuma gave me a skeptical look but he dropped the subject.

Class started and finished and before everyone knew it, school was over. (O.o)

When Yuuma and I were about to leave the school and walk home, someone called out to me.

"Maehara-kun!" Okano called. I turned to look at Yuuma and he grinned at me.

"See you tomorrow, Hiroto-kun," Yuuma said. The '-kun' rang in my ears. I turned to face Okano.

"Maehara-kun. I..." Okano paused for a bit. I knew what she was going to say. "I really like you Maehara-kun and I was hoping you'd go out with me!"

"I'm sorry," the words were already out of my mouth before I knew it. Okano's looked up at me in shock. "I like Y- someone else."

I never thought I would say those words, but it was true.

Okano looked at me blankly for a second but then her face erupted into a huge grin.

"Ah... I see, Maehara-kun. Good luck with him!" Okano said and ran off.

Did she-

She realised I was about to mention my feelings for Yuuma. My face felt like it was on fire.

I decided to stay back a little longer and walk home by myself. When I got home, I got dressed, showered but then I saw something sitting just inside of my bag. How did I not notice it before?

I picked it up, it was a plain white envelope. Was this something from Okano? I took the piece of paper out and read it.

'Dear Hiroto,

You probably don't know,

How much I love you,

Everyone says it's obvious,

But you're always engulfed in your fan girls.

We're best friends,

And yet you still haven't got me sorted out.

I'm pretty sure you know who this is by now,

And I just want to ask one thing,

That if you don't feel the same way,

Just don't say anything,

Our friendship is too precious,

I'm sure you agree.

But just in case you feel the same,

I want to say I love you,

And that I'd love to be with you.

Maehara Hiroto,

You are the best thing that has happened to me,

I~love~you.

~I.Y.'

I was stunned. Yuuma loved me? How long? All these questions floated in my head. I debated what to do and I decided I would visit him.

I ran through the kitchen, my mother yelling something to me that I didn't catch and I jumped out the door, right into the pouring rain...

But that didn't matter! Yuuma was top priority. I ran to his house and luckily I didn't slip. I knocked on the door and the one to open it was none other than Yuuma himself.

Yuuma's eyes widened when he saw me.

"H-Hiroto-kun?" Yuuma said, warily. I laughed.

"What's with the honourific?" I asked. Yuuma's eyes widened even more before he realised I was soaked.

"You're going to catch a cold! I'll get you a towel," Yuuma said before rushing to get me a towel. I laughed again and dried off in the bathroom. When I came out, I saw Yuuma in his bedroom. I walked in and he looked at me with a hopeful expression. I smiled at him and sat down next to him on the carpet.

"I loved your letter," I said, I could barely contain my laughter. Yuuma blushed but laughed a second after. Which is what set me off as well. Yuuma wrapped his arms around me and we stayed like that for probably a few minutes before Yuuma's little brother ran in the room and yelled at Yuuma to hurry up with dinner.

Yuuma and I sighed.

"Sorry, Hiroto. Would you like to stay for dinner?" Yuuma asked. I thought about it and it sounded like a good idea but I remembered that I didn't bring my phone and I didn't tell my mother where I went. (She probably knew, however.)

"I should probably get home," I said. Yuuma nodded. He saw me to the door and he held out a umbrella to me. I took it and just as I was about to walk out, Yuuma turned me around and pecked me on the lips. The two of us were blushing but also smiling.

"Good night, dear." I grinned. Yuuma laughed and punched my arm softly. He gave me another one of his most beautiful smiles.

"Good night, my love."
