The bright red was obvious on Noboru's cheeks. He felt the heat on his face, burning quite bright. He was speechless.

[color=navy]"I.. I..Um...I"[/color]

He wasn't quite sure what he would say.

[color=navy]"I mean... I...I.. I don't know what to say. I... um...I"[/color]

Noboru fidgeted around and looked away. His face became more flush with each passing second, turning a nice shade of red. Noboru thought to himself. [I]Come on Noboru. It's only the girl you like being extremely up front and catching you off guard.[/i] Noboru steadied himself and spoke up.

[Color=navy]"I... I...I... Argggh why can't I even say I like you as well? Why am I such a pansy? I was supposed to say I like you, you shot me down and we go on our happy merry ways, not this. But here we are. Yes! I like you as well! Aggghhhh!"[/color]

Noboru confessed but his cheeks still felt quite flushed, the rush of excitement burning his face up and showing his embarassment quite well, and out in the open. He then did the stupidest thing possible.

[color=navy]"Agggh! I can't handle this!"[/color]

Noboru dropped the sweater onto a nearby table and stormed out, unsure of what to do. He slammed past the hospital doors. He never felt the buzz of his phone in his pocket.
