YOUR POV
For the passed seconds of that intimate staring contest with one another, I felt the need to step in and stop them from obstructing the clothing business with how scary they now looked.
I went in the middle, pushing both males carefully away from one another. "Alright! We can save the rival matters for later and get out of this store before everyone kick us out, alright?" I calmly asked.
The two eyed me with a questioning frown. "You know we're rivals(for your love)?" They asked.
I nodded. "Didn't you say, sir Leo that Asta and Yuno are your rivals?" I asked back, feeling a bit confused from his question since he already told me about it.
After my answer, both let out a heavy sigh. Wait. Did I seriously said something wrong? "Little one, Little one. I guess you're still young." Leo placed both hands on his waist, looking at me with soft eyes.
"Wait? Huh?"
"Yes. You're still young, Y/n." Yuno seemed to have agreed as well.
"Well, aren't all of us still young? You guys aren't even any older!" I complained, feeling left out from all their vague thoughts. What's wrong with them?
The two didn't give me any proper answer for that, simply giving me a pet on the head and a tease for being too young to understand.
And this idea left me pouting. I am not too young nor are they old. We're all teens, what difference does it make? And to be completely honest, I really am being treated as a child a lot by everyone else.
The day ended with me doing my best to stop their rivalry-- glaring at each other all the time. And at the same time, trying not to get triggered by the fact that they always call me child whenever I ask what's wrong with them.

I sat on my study table writing letters to be sent to the church together with my month's payment.
It was quite a nice day and I had a great time shopping things and exploring the capital which I added in detail to my letter.
As I was doing that, my door was suddenly banged open, making me jump in fright and my heart went into a summersault as I turned towards the typical person who usually enters the door.
"Sir Leo?" I asked.
It was already evening so I didn't think he'd actually come.
"Little one, can we... talk?" He asked softly.
I blinked twice. "Sure, sir Leo... what's it about?" I asked, smiling lightly but a bit hasitant when I noticed that he was serious.
I wonder what's up?
"Come and walk with me outside for a while. The evening is quite well today." He said.
"Are you okay, sir?" I asked, coming closer to him and finding how he looked a bit down.
He met my eyes and simply shrugged and smiled again. But even with that same enthusiastic smile I don't think I can erase the expression he had earlier.
As I was about to lead out, I felt his hand grabbed mine, making me turn to him. I was surprised and everything was quite fast that before I could even do something about the situation, the door already closed and I was cornered on both sides by his hands.
"Sir?" I called out. Now I was panick stricken by the sudden action.
"Little one. Do you like Yuno?" He straight up asked that caught me off guard.
I think I remember him asking this back then. But, it wasn't in a position like this...
"I... I don't... know." I looked down. My cheeks already burning from this distance.
"How about me, little one. Do you like me?" His sudden question held me shocked as I quickly raised my head. I can feel my ears heated even more and my heart beating faster.
"H-huh?" I couldn't let out a word. And I can feel my hands getting cold.
"Lit-- no, Y/n." He called softly as his face hovered closer to mine that from this distance, his breathing started brushing off strands from my cheeks. "What should I do..?" He asked.
He pressed his forehead to mine. "Sir I--" my words was suddenly stopped, that before I could even continue, he kissed me.
My eyes went wide. I felt my heart stopped and my thoughts began clouding around me. What's happening?! What is happening?
I didn't move as I felt his hand touched the extent of my jaw and neck. It felt electrifying, and my heart continued to throb as he moved his lips wider.
I was confused. I didn't know what to do that I could only comply to his lead, opening my mouth as well as I felt his tongue slithered in and enterwind with mine. I tried following through his lead but as we kissed longer, it became deeper. He even lightly bit my lower lip as his other hand pressed my back closer that our body stuck together.
I was scared. My heart feels like it was about to explode. But I... didn't hate it?
After seconds, we slowly separated. Catching our breaths from this shocking event.
What is happening?
"I like you, Y/n." He kissed me again, but now shortly.
"S-sir... I." My voice trembled.
I was scared.
I was nervous.
I was confused.
Hot tears began to dribble down my eyes as I felt my body beginning to tremble.
"I'm sorry." I cried.
I felt his embrace warmed up to me again. "Little one, I'm sorry. I didn't know what's gotten into me." He quickly apologized, seizing me even more while I dug my face into his chest.
"I'm sorry. I don't know." I still cried. I couldn't think properly.
He was quiet.
I continued to sob, hearing the phase of his heartbeat while we were in that position. I can feel how fast it was almost similar to mine.
And slowly, I felt the shock began to subside and I was a bit better and comfortable from my superior's embrace despite the fact that I was embarrassed.
Soon enough we separated when I could stand on my own. My eyes were evading his stares, leaning my back on the closed door still. I wiped my tears and tried my hardest to stop sobbing.
I looked up and met his eyes again. Evident worries stretching through his face while I pondered how I'm going to answer his confession but he spoke before I even could.
"I like you, Y/n. I hope you're not angry at me." He softly said.
I shook my head. "I'm not mad..." my voice trembled. This is embarrassing!
He sighed. He went closer again and reached a hand to my flushed cheek. "I know you're going to say that. But I'm serious about this feelings, Y/n." He rubbed his thumb on my cheeks gently.
"I... sir Leo... I..." I don't know. I myself am confused of what to answer. I didn't want to destroy our friendship... I don't want him to see me differently.
"It's fine. You can think about it." He suddenly cut off my thoughts. I eyed him and he smiled brightly. "We still have a lot of time, Y/n. I can guarnatee you that whatever you answer someday, I'll accept it with my whole heart." He said.
I pursed my lips and smiled back. Thankful for his considerate words as I was really not expecting the action and confession.
He decided to open the door behind me. Just when I thought that he was leaving, he suddenly turned around. I blinked twice and saw him coming back, giving an unexpected peck on my lips.
I felt my heart jumped off the roof again.
But he just smiled in a proud demeanor. "I'm going to chase after you, little one. I may be waiting for your response, but it doesn't mean I won't do anything until Yuno steal you away."
"W-what?!" I hid my blush with my hands. Yuno?! What's going on?
"Good night, little one." He left the door as if nothing happened...

Third Person POV
Meanwhile, the next day at the church...
Father's complexion darkened, gripping the letter that almost crumpled in his shaky hands.
"A... love confession????!!!!" The priest felt irks all over his head.
Sister Lily giggled, covering her lips to hid her smile. "Y/n is a beautiful child. It's possible that people would start confessing to her." She said.
Tears streamed down the priest's eyes as he reread it over and over again. Of course, Y/n didn't elaborate anything but just said that 'I got confessed to by a guy who likes me.' And nothing else.
But who?
"They grew up so fast. Must I congratulate Yuno for having the caurage now?" He asked.
Sister looked at him questioningly. "Was it Yuno who confessed?" She asked.
"Who else would it be? Yuno has liked her eversince they were young. I have a feeling that it's him." Father explained, wiping his teary eyes. "They grew up so fast. I could still recall the days they would hold hands while going for errands." He sniffed.
"Then we should probably congratulate Yuno." Sister Lily said.
Am I too fast on the love love thingy? Hahaha. I have no idea. Anyways, I might finish it after a few more chapters since I'm not following any plot.
