—————————————————————————–
In three days, it will have been exactly a month after Akari made imagawayaki for him. And others , Rei had to remind himself each time he thought about it. She’d made a point to say this “Valentines day” wasn’t exclusively romantic, and even if it was there was a chance that he wasn’t even the boy she liked! But… he liked her, and if there was a holiday in her strange world for that, its sister “White Day” was probably the one.
Which is why Rei found himself in Professor Laventon’s office, somehow even more nervous than when he had tried to face down the captain.
The professor looked up from the scattered research notes from fellow survey corps members. “Rei, my boy, you seem upset. What’s wrong?”
“I’m not upset. I’m just…confused.” Despite himself, he started messing with the end of his scarf. “And I need your advice.”
Laventon perked up at that, stacking the papers neatly into a pile, “Then please, take a seat. I’m all ears.” Gracious as that was, it was precisely his fatherly tone that made Rei want to turn tail out of embarrassment.
Still, Rei sat on the cushion opposite of him and tried to ask his question in a way that wouldn’t tip the professor off to— at the very least— who it was about. “So…I have feelings for this woman.”
