**[00:00] Satomura**
I'm begging you!
**[00:02] Satomura**
All you have to do is introduce me.
**[00:04] Satomura**
I really want to be friends with Hananoi-kun!
**[00:10] Hotaru**
Wha—?
***SIGN*** Episode 5
***SIGN*** Our First Date
**[01:45] Hibiki**
Yeah, she 100 percent has ulterior motives!
**[01:48] Hotaru**
Do you really think so?
**[01:50] Hotaru**
This doesn't usually happen,
so I'd totally forgotten
**[01:54] Hotaru**
how popular Hananoi-kun is with girls.
**[01:57] Hibiki**
I mean, he's always so cold at school
that it makes him hard to approach.
**[02:03] Tsukiha**
You know, the girls in my club say he's
a "look but don't touch" kind of hottie.
**[02:10] Hotaru**
*Come to think of it,*
**[02:12] Hotaru**
* I've never seen Hananoi-kun*
* with any friends before.*
**[02:17] Hotaru**
* If that's all she really wants,*
* maybe it would be good.*
**[02:22] Hotaru**
* And I'm not officially dating him,*
* so I have no right to keep her away.*
**[02:26] Hananoi**
Hotaru-chan, is something wrong?
**[02:29] Hananoi**
You've hardly touched your lunch.
**[02:32] Hotaru**
I-I'm okay!
**[02:38] Hotaru**
U-Um, this might be an odd question,
but how would you feel about making a friend?
**[02:46] Hananoi**
What? Did Kurata say something to you?
**[02:48] Hotaru**
Huh? Keigo-kun?
**[02:51] Hananoi**
Guess not.
**[02:52] Hotaru**
Did something happen between you two?
**[02:55] Hananoi**
No, nothing at all.
**[02:58] Hananoi**
But friends, huh? I don't think I need any.
**[03:01] Hananoi**
I'm actually trying not
to make friends right now.
**[03:04] Hotaru**
Huh? Why?
**[03:05] Hananoi**
Hmm... Well, for example, let's say
there's some kind of major disaster.
**[03:11] Hananoi**
The first people everyone worries about
are their relatives and lovers, right?
**[03:17] Hananoi**
Friends don't really rank that high,
**[03:20] Hananoi**
so wasting your feelings on them takes away
from the people you really care about,
**[03:26] Hananoi**
I think.
**[03:27] Hotaru**
Do you... really feel that way?
**[03:30] Hananoi**
I'm good just holding one person truly dear.
**[03:34] Hananoi**
I've only got two hands, after all.
**[03:39] Hotaru**
* Hananoi-kun sure has*
* an unusual approach to things...*
**[03:43] Hotaru**
* But he was so clear*
* about not wanting friends.*
**[03:51] Hotaru**
* Turning Satomura-san down*
* might make things rocky.*
**[03:56] Non-chan**
* I think I like Sohei-kun.*
* Hotaru-chan, will you help me out?*
**[04:02] Hotaru**
Awkward...
**[04:05] Hotaru**
* Man, I guess this is another side*
* to what dating's like.*
**[04:09] Kagari**
Hotaru?
**[04:11] Kagari**
Did you remove all the strings?
**[04:12] Hotaru**
Sis...
**[04:14] Hotaru**
No! Master!
**[04:17] Kagari**
U-Uh...
**[04:20] Kagari**
So basically, a coworker asked you
to introduce your so-called "trial" boyfriend.
**[04:25] Kagari**
But you don't want to pressure him,
**[04:28] Kagari**
or make things awkward at work either.
**[04:31] Kagari**
You sure are growing up.
**[04:33] Hotaru**
How do I make it all work out?
**[04:37] Kagari**
You don't.
**[04:39] Kagari**
You can't live without
hurting people sometimes.
**[04:42] Kagari**
You've got to decide
who's most important to you.
**[04:46] Hotaru**
*That's like what Hananoi-kun said.*
**[04:49] Hotaru**
I knew you'd help, Master!
**[04:51] Kagari**
*I mean, not that I've ever had a boyfriend.*
**[04:57] Hotaru**
* I'll tell her no before*
* I start my shift today.*
**[05:00] Hotaru**
*Not a great feeling...*
**[05:02] Hananoi**
You seem really down lately.
**[05:05] Hotaru**
N-No, I'm fine! It's just, today...
**[05:09] Hotaru**
Y'know, it's colder up here than normal, isn't it?
**[05:12] Hananoi**
You might be right.
**[05:16] Hotaru**
The door's open.
**[05:18] Hananoi**
The person on safety checks must
have forgotten to close it.
**[05:21] Hananoi**
We could go out on the roof.
**[05:23] Hotaru**
*Th-The roof?!*
**[05:26] Hotaru**
Wow! Hananoi-kun, Hananoi-kun!
This is awesome!
**[05:42] Hananoi**
I'm glad you're having so much fun.
**[05:44] Hotaru**
I might never get to do this again.
**[05:47] Hotaru**
But...
**[05:51] Hotaru**
B-Breaking the rules
is pretty exciting, isn't it?
**[05:56] Hananoi**
You're an awfully good girl, Hotaru-chan.
**[06:03] Hotaru**
Huh?
**[06:08] Hananoi**
It won't open. It must be locked.
**[06:11] Hotaru**
Huh?!
**[06:12] Hotaru**
Did somebody notice it was open?
**[06:14] Hananoi**
Probably. But it's okay.
We have our phones on us.
**[06:19] Hotaru**
Still...
**[06:26] Hotaru**
Class has started.
***SIGN*** I know you're in class. Sorry!
I'm on the roof right now.
The door seems to be locked from the inside.
Could you come open it for me?
**[06:32] Hotaru**
I just messaged Kyo-chan
and Shibamu for help.
**[06:41] Hotaru**
Wait! Why are you slowly undressing?!
**[06:45] Hananoi**
I was going to let you borrow this.
**[06:47] Hotaru**
*Of course* you were!
But you shouldn't do that!
**[06:50] Hananoi**
But under the circumstances...
**[06:57] Hananoi**
I'll be fine, so you should wear my cardigan.
**[07:00] Hotaru**
*You'll* freeze, then, Hananoi-kun!
**[07:03] Hotaru**
Oh, I know!
**[07:05] Hotaru**
Like this!
**[07:10] Hotaru**
*Actually, this probably isn't the way...*
**[07:16] Hotaru**
A-Anyway, realistically speaking,
this should be warmest, so let's stick it out.
**[07:22] Hananoi**
As long as you're okay with it.
**[07:26] Hotaru**
I'm sorry. This is my fault for
wanting to come out on the roof.
**[07:31] Hananoi**
Don't worry about that.
**[07:33] Hotaru**
If nobody notices,
will we die of exposure up here?!
**[07:38] Hananoi**
We'll be fine. I promise we will.
**[07:43] Hananoi**
You didn't do anything wrong, Hotaru-chan.
**[07:47] Hananoi**
Relax.
**[07:54] Hotaru**
I'm sorry.
**[07:57] Hananoi**
Look, I'm sure we'll be fine, but if you
think we're dying anyway, would you tell me?
**[08:04] Hananoi**
What's had you so worried lately?
**[08:06] Hotaru**
Huh?
**[08:07] Hotaru**
Uh...
**[08:07] Hananoi**
You haven't been finishing your lunch.
**[08:10] Hananoi**
And you always have two croquettes
after school, but you only ate one yesterday.
**[08:14] Hotaru**
*He's been watching me like a hawk!*
**[08:16] Hotaru**
*M-Maybe it's my imagination, but... is he mad?*
**[08:23] Hananoi**
Sorry. You don't have to tell me.
**[08:28] Hananoi**
I just always want you to be happy.
**[08:35] Hotaru**
* I can literally feel*
* how worried he is about me.*
**[08:40] Hotaru**
*He's so warm.*
**[08:42] Hotaru**
* How could I upset someone*
* who thinks about me so much?*
**[08:48] Hotaru**
I'm sorry, Hananoi-kun.
**[08:50] Hotaru**
Um, to tell you the truth...
**[08:54] Hananoi**
Oh boy. Is that all?
**[08:57] Hotaru**
*"Is that all"?!*
**[08:58] Hananoi**
I'll go turn her down myself.
**[09:01] Hananoi**
It'd be tough for you if things
got awkward at work, right?
**[09:05] Hotaru**
*So it's settled just like that? I guess so...*
**[09:09] Hotaru**
* Huh. So I didn't need to get*
* so worked up about it.*
**[09:16] Hotaru**
I'm so relieved!
**[09:19] Hananoi**
I'm glad. You're back to normal now.
**[09:24] Hotaru**
Are you okay? You can hold on to me tighter!
**[09:26] Hananoi**
No, I'm fine. Any closer would be...
I don't know. A bad idea.
**[09:36] Hotaru**
D-Don't worry. The occasion calls for it.
**[09:40] Hotaru**
And your promise not to touch me...
Can we call that off now?
**[09:48] Hotaru**
*Hananoi-kun's heart is beating really fast.*
**[09:52] Hotaru**
* I don't know why, but that's making*
* me so happy right now.*
**[09:58] Hotaru**
I-I'll tell Satomura-san myself.
**[10:03] Hotaru**
* With his body heat warming me,*
* I feel like I can face anything.*
**[10:08] Hotaru**
I know whose feelings I value more now.
**[10:12] Hotaru**
It'll be fine.
**[10:19] Hananoi**
Bad move.
**[10:21] Hananoi**
Do you realize what you just said?
**[10:26] Hananoi**
I'm not gonna let you go now.
**[10:34] Hibiki**
Hotaru! Are you alive?!
**[10:36] Hibiki**
Huh? That's weird.
**[10:39] Hotaru**
H-Hello? Over here. We're over here!
**[10:43] Hananoi**
There she is!
**[10:44] Hananoi**
Are you okay?
**[10:46] Hotaru**
I-I'm glad you saw my message.
**[10:48] Hibiki**
We had a free study period.
Oh, I'm so relieved!
**[10:52] Tsukiha**
You know, the door wasn't
actually locked, though.
**[10:55] Hotaru**
Huh?
**[10:57] Hotaru**
Ah...
**[10:59] Hananoi**
Sorry about that. I wanted some
time to talk to you alone.
**[11:04] Hananoi**
I wish we could've stayed
just a little longer, though. Too bad.
**[11:08] Hotaru**
Wh-Wh-What? Whaaat?!
**[11:12] Hotaru**
I'm sorry, but that's why I
can't introduce you to him!
**[11:16] Satomura**
Are you for real? That beautiful
vision is your boyfriend?
**[11:20] Satomura**
Hota-chan, you're amazing!
**[11:22] Hotaru**
Huh?
**[11:23] Satomura**
Oh, wait. Did you think I liked
Hananoi-kun or something?
**[11:27] Satomura**
I'm sorry I gave you the wrong idea!
He just looks like my fave idol!
**[11:32] Hotaru**
Y-Your fave?
**[11:33] Satomura**
Yeah! Takahiko-kun from the super
popular idol group VERSUS!
**[11:36] Satomura**
See, see?! Isn't he a dead ringer?!
**[11:38] Satomura**
If he grew out his hair a little,
he'd be perfect!
**[11:41] Satomura**
When I first saw Hananoi-kun,
I thought it was fate!
**[11:42] Hotaru**
*That's* what this is about?
**[11:45] Hotaru**
Thank you very much.
**[11:47] Hotaru**
* I'm glad Satomura-san doesn't actually*
* have a crush on Hananoi-kun.*
**[11:52] Hotaru**
*Wait.*
**[11:55] Hotaru**
*What is this feeling? Relief?*
**[12:00] Hotaru**
Wanting to see him smile,
wanting to touch him,
**[12:04] Hotaru**
worrying about other girls liking him...
**[12:09] Hotaru**
Is this love? Is that what love is?
**[12:12] Hibiki**
*Of course it's love!*
**[12:14] Tsukiha**
Why would you think it isn't?
**[12:17] Hotaru**
To love is to think about someone
more than anyone else, right?
**[12:22] Hotaru**
I think I might *like* Hananoi-kun,
but I like you guys just as much.
**[12:31] Hotaru**
I guess I'm just not sure yet.
**[12:33] Hibiki**
Ahem. Listen, love is different for everyone.
**[12:37] Hibiki**
If *you* think it's love, then it *is* love!
**[12:42] Hotaru**
Kyo-chan, you're so cool!
**[12:45] Hibiki**
If you're with me, then go try this on.
You have a date tomorrow, right?
**[12:53] Hotaru**
*Maybe this is a little too cute for me.*
**[12:56] Hotaru**
* Everyone is different...*
* Everyone is different, right?*
**[13:00] Hotaru**
*Okay!*
**[13:06] Hotaru**
Hananoi-kun!
**[13:08] Hotaru**
Thanks for waiting!
**[13:10] Hotaru**
S-Sorry I'm late.
**[13:14] Hananoi**
It's fine. Are you okay?
**[13:16] Hotaru**
I stayed up late looking stuff up
and then overslept.
**[13:21] Hananoi**
Don't worry about it.
**[13:22] Hananoi**
I was so excited about today, I didn't
sleep a wink since the day before.
**[13:25] Hotaru**
Not one wink since the day before?!
**[13:28] Hananoi**
We're seeing a movie, right? Let's get going.
**[13:31] Hotaru**
Okay.
**[13:32] Hotaru**
W-Wait, hold on. I said that I was
going to escort you today.
**[13:38] Hotaru**
Let's go, Hananoi-kun.
**[13:49] Hotaru**
*Switch gears, switch gears!*
**[13:51] Hotaru**
* For the morning, we'll catch a movie*
* before having lunch at this place.*
**[13:54] Hotaru**
* After browsing at the station building,*
* we can grab a snack and take pictures.*
***SIGN*** If we get stuck, go to the station
It has lots of shops, so it'll be easy to kill time
Browse clothes and products to figure out what he's into
At karaoke, pick songs we both know
It'll be fun for both of us if we sing together
The place Kyo-chan recommended...
**[13:58] Hotaru**
* Great. For a beginner like me,*
* this plan is foolproof!*
**[14:03] Hananoi**
Hold on a second.
**[14:09] Hananoi**
You look really cute today, Hotaru-chan.
**[14:14] Hotaru**
*H-He noticed that I look different today.*
**[14:24] Hotaru**
* The book Hananoi-kun was reading got made*
* into a film. I thought it'd be perfect.*
**[14:33] Hotaru**
* But it's one of those movies where*
* a bunch of people get killed!*
**[14:51] Hananoi**
Just close your eyes
during the scary scenes.
**[14:56] Hotaru**
* I'm so scared and so excited that I*
* can't concentrate on the movie one bit!*
**[15:05] Hotaru**
* I-I totally blew it.*
* I couldn't follow the movie at all.*
**[15:09] Hotaru**
* And I wanted for us*
* to talk about it afterward!*
**[15:13] Hananoi**
Hotaru-chan, are you okay?
That was pretty scary.
**[15:18] Hotaru**
I-I'm okay! Just a little shocked
since I don't usually watch this genre.
**[15:23] Hotaru**
But I thought the story was really...
really, uh, interesting.
**[15:27] Hananoi**
Why don't we go get lunch now?
**[15:30] Hotaru**
Lunch? Sure! I already picked out a place.
***SIGN*** The place Kyo-chan recommended:
Italian restaurant "Renoge"
Interior and food both look really fancy—worth the price!
Has large servings, so boys should like it too.
Careful! Sometimes there's a line for lunch.
***SIGN*** Temporarily Closed
**[15:43] Hananoi**
W-We'll come again another time. Okay?
**[15:47] Hotaru**
I'm sorry, Hananoi-kun.
**[15:50] Hananoi**
For what? It's okay. Things never
work out perfectly the first time.
**[15:57] Hananoi**
More importantly, you put so much
thought into planning today for me.
**[16:02] Hananoi**
That makes me really happy.
**[16:04] Hotaru**
Hananoi-kun...
**[16:05] Hananoi**
Hey, over there. Isn't that the restaurant
you said you wanted to try before?
**[16:36] Hotaru**
Here! To commemorate today.
**[16:41] Hananoi**
I bought one too.
**[16:48] Hotaru**
We picked the same thing!
**[16:54] Hotaru**
I wasn't a very good escort at all.
**[16:57] Hananoi**
I still had a whole lot of fun, though.
**[16:59] Hotaru**
I had fun too! Thanks to your help.
**[17:04] Hotaru**
And it was very educational.
**[17:07] Hotaru**
You don't have to stick to a plan.
Just find things to enjoy together.
**[17:12] Hotaru**
Dates sure are fun!
**[17:15] Ex-Girlfriend A**
*Dates with you are always so weird.*
**[17:17] Ex-Girlfriend B**
*Sorry, but you're scaring me.*
**[17:20] Hotaru**
*Dates sure are fun!*
**[17:33] Hotaru**
Thanks for walking me home.
**[17:37] Hotaru**
Oh, isn't this...
**[17:39] Hananoi**
The place where we first met.
**[17:44] Hotaru**
This park is really close
to my elementary school,
**[17:47] Hotaru**
so I used to play here a lot as a kid.
**[17:50] Hotaru**
Come to think of it, why were you here that
day? It's pretty far from the cafe...
**[17:58] Hananoi**
Were you actually at the
cafe then too, Hotaru-chan?
**[18:01] Hotaru**
Mm-hmm.
**[18:02] Hananoi**
No wonder. That's why you
offered me your umbrella.
**[18:05] Hotaru**
Well, I was kind of worried
it was none of my business.
**[18:11] Hananoi**
I wandered around in a daze
and suddenly found myself here.
**[18:16] Hananoi**
I was pretty depressed that day.
**[18:23] Hananoi**
That's why...
**[18:26] Hananoi**
Hotaru-chan,
**[18:29] Hananoi**
you're my hero.
**[18:35] Hananoi**
I'm so happy.
**[18:39] Hananoi**
Ever since I met you here, I've been in bliss.
**[18:46] Hananoi**
It almost scares me.
**[18:48] Hotaru**
Hananoi-kun...
**[18:51] Elementary School Student A**
Bam!
**[18:59] Hotaru**
Hananoi-kun? Hananoi-kun?
**[19:03] Hotaru**
Are you awake?
**[19:11] Hananoi**
Was I unconscious?
**[19:14] Hotaru**
Just for a little bit. Are you okay?
Want to rest at my place?
**[19:19] Hananoi**
No, I'm fine.
**[19:22] Hananoi**
Instead, I want to stay
like this a little longer.
**[19:27] Hotaru**
* It probably wasn't good that*
* he didn't get any sleep.*
**[19:30] Hotaru**
* And then I tired him out*
* by making him walk so much.*
**[19:45] Hotaru**
You tried to protect me, didn't you?
**[19:48] Hotaru**
Thank you.
**[19:50] Hotaru**
But don't go overboard, okay?
**[19:53] Hotaru**
I've been worried about that
part of you ever since we met.
**[19:58] Hotaru**
You don't need to throw yourself
in front of danger for me.
**[20:02] Hananoi**
But...
**[20:07] Hananoi**
Even if I study hard and play sports,
even if I'm as kind as I can be,
**[20:12] Hananoi**
in the end, everyone always
chooses someone else over me.
**[20:17] Hananoi**
The only thing I have left to give...
**[20:21] Hananoi**
is myself.
**[20:25] Hotaru**
That's not true. That's not true!
**[20:29] Hotaru**
Even if you don't go that far,
there are people who'd stand by you.
**[20:34] Hotaru**
Like... Like me.
**[20:37] Hotaru**
I like the way the time passes
so peacefully when I'm with you.
**[20:41] Hotaru**
I like the way you seem to be good at
everything, but you actually aren't perfect.
**[20:46] Hotaru**
I like the way you're kind to those in need.
**[20:50] Hotaru**
I like the way you're always
so honest about your feelings.
**[20:54] Hotaru**
You don't need to sacrifice yourself like that.
**[20:58] Hotaru**
I really, really like you, Hananoi-kun!
**[21:05] Hananoi**
Do you mean it...?
**[21:09] Hananoi**
If I'd be so happy if that's true.
**[21:22] Hotaru**
*Does he understand my feelings for him now?*
**[21:26] Hotaru**
*They're so hard to put into words.*
**[21:29] Hotaru**
* But thank you. Every time you tell me you*
* like me, it gives me a lot of strength.*
**[21:38] Hotaru**
* I want to be able to do that*
* for Hananoi-kun too.*
**[21:44] Hotaru**
*I want to be of help to him.*
**[21:46] Hotaru**
* I don't want him to smile*
* like he's sad inside.*
**[21:49] Hotaru**
* I want to see him smile like*
* he's really, truly happy.*
**[21:55] Hotaru**
*Oh...*
**[21:58] Hotaru**
Is this love?
**[22:02] Hotaru**
*Hey,*
**[22:07] Hotaru**
*Hananoi-kun...*
***SIGN*** Alarm
***SIGN*** Snooze
***SIGN*** Dismiss
**[22:36] Hotaru**
*Hananoi-kun!*
**[22:48] Hotaru**
*I...*
**[22:50] Hotaru**
*really like you!*
