[ Ai of B-Komachi is pretty, perfect and invincible. She loves everyone with all her heart, without fear or restraint, she gives and gives and gives and doesn't ever think to ask for anything back. What does an invincible girl even want for, anyway?
Hoshino Ai is unforgivably dirty and hopelessly impure - in fact, just call her hopeless full stop. She has to lie to give people what they want because the real thing could never be good enough. It never will be. Maybe that's why she doesn't know how to do any of it for real.
Her heart is thudding so hard and so loud she can barely hear anything else. She feels warm. She feels a little dizzy. She feels more hopeless and helpless and inexcusably clumsy than she ever has before but for the first time... she thinks that might be okay.
She thinks that if it's Rinne... then it really might be okay.
Her mouth makes a shape, but the words won't come out. Even now, she's a coward. Even now, she's too scared to say it and find out that she could never say it for real. She doesn't know if the feeling churning her insides really is love, but whatever it is, she wants Rinne to know she feels it.
She rises up onto her toes so she can press a kiss to his forehead. Then her lips move to the corner of his eye and she presses another one there, like she could stem the flow of tears like that.
Then she pulls in a shaky breath. She sinks down onto the flat of her feet and now they're nose to nose. She's so close she can feel his breath on her mouth. ]

I'm really glad you're here.
[ And then she kisses him. Properly, at last. ]
