She wasn't lying, just trying to be nice and make him feel better. The little kiss on his cheek made him realize that. He wondered for a moment if anyone had ever done that before, though of course if they had he wouldn't have remembered it. The tops of his ears went warm as she spoke and smoothed his hair with her hand. What could she possibly see in him that she liked? Maybe she could see something he couldn't. He tried to trust in that as he looked at her, trying to find words to express himself.
"O-of course I like you back," he said, then grinned a little sheepishly at the fact that he had just admitted it. "Who wouldn't like you, Chiyo? You're pretty and kind and always optimistic. And you actually bothered to try being my friend, even though I'm so awkward."
Honestly, he had liked her since he'd had that dream about her, even if he hadn't been sure she was real back then. But it had been a tentative, fantasy thing then. When he'd met her at the tavern, he had been nearly overwhelmed by the reality of her. In his dream, she had been just a smiling face accompanied by an ethereal feeling of gratitude. The fact that she was a real girl, so sweet and shy and utterly adorable, made him happier than he could have known. And then finding out that she had practically saved his life... Chiyo was a rare girl.
