... when you've known defeat.

Aliko kept silently running this through her head as Pit defeated her for the seventeenth time at Super Smash Bros.

She had told him so the first time he beat her, but he had just laughed it off with a heartwarming smile. She was sure that her face was still slightly tinted red.

Grumbling in irritation, the girl ran her hand through her thick brown tufts of hair. "How do you win every time? This can't be fair!"

Pit gave a faintly apologetic smile. "Do you want to take a break for now? I'm sure you'll do much better if we come back to it later!"

"F-fine," she sighed, "but don't expect to win again!"

The blue-eyed boy simply winked, causing Aliko's face to turn an even darker shade of red.

As Pit got up, he turned toward her, slightly tilting his head. "I think I might have some potato chips, so do you want some?"

The girl's face brightened, and a grin spread across her face. "Of course! Pit, you didn't even need to ask! I'm just going to go for a walk, so don't mind me if I look a little lost in here."

Pit laughed, the sweet sound making her smile grow wider. "Sure! Just don't take too long, though!"

As Aliko wandered through the well-kept house, giving her cramped legs some much-needed relief, she couldn't help but internally squeal at how adorable Pit was.

His smiles were infectious. He knew exactly how to make her, and anyone, in fact, happy. Fingering the end of her smooth, white scarf, she couldn't help but feel a bit... inferior, to be honest.

How could someone as sweet, kind, and friendly as he was love her? She still had vivid memories of her personality before becoming an angel, and she couldn't think of any reason why he would like her more than just as a friend.

But then again, he still tried as hard as he could to spend time with her. Meaning, she still had a chance, as small as it was.

Aliko sighed. She had told herself over and over again after Pit had invited her that she would tell him how she felt. But her mouth seemed to seal itself shut every time he looked at her, and losing seventeen games of SSB in a row would surely not improve his opinion of her.

The girl walked through empty hallways, lost in thought. She was slightly relieved that she had combed her hair this morning, but knew in her heart that it wouldn't really affect anything. Pit wasn't a shallow person. If he ever loved someone, he would feel the same for them whether they were draped in silk and loveliness or coated in dust and penury.

As she passed by Pit's bedroom, her chocolate-colored eyes froze for a second. She spotted a small slip of blue paper with a cute note attached to it. Leaning down, she gently picked up the smooth, ocean-colored scrap. Her eyes widened and a small gasp escaped her lips.

It was a ticket for two for hot springs. Oh my... where could he have gotten this? And why hadn't he told her?!

In her moment of shock, she completely forgot about the tiny note until it lightly brushed her hand. Bringing it closer to her face, she read the sentences carefully inscribed on its delicate creamy gold face.

Dear Aliko,

I apologize in advance if this note is too forward, or causes y

Scratch that. It sounds too formal.

I just wanted to let you know that... I lo you are a very important person to me, and I'm hoping you would like to accompany me to the hot springs, as I know we both love enjoy them

Love Thanks!
Pit

The brunette frowned, her eyebrows scrunching together in confusion. Why had he scratched out every instance of the word love? Did that mean something?

Did he like her back and was embarrassed about it? Or did he not like her at all?

Aliko was woken from her reverie when she heard someone call her name from behind her. Turning around slowly, she came face to face with a pair of shimmering blue eyes and lush brown hair.

Pit's eyes quickly flickered over the note and ticket she was holding.

"So... I guess you found my note," the brown-haired boy gave her a shaky smile.

Aliko's eyes widened in worry. "Oh- oh my gosh, Pit, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to- well, it was just on the floor and I-"

She was cut off by Pit putting a finger to her mouth. He looked sheepishly at the ground.

"N-no, it's my fault. I was the one who had just left it there, and... I'm really sorry if the note was too pressing, I just- well, I'm really sorry for pushing my feeli- I mean, I-"

Aliko had to suppress a smile. Pit was just too adorable.

"A-Aliko... Would you like to go to the hot springs with me?"

The brown-eyed girl blinked in surprise.

"W-wait... You really want to go with me?"

"Yes!" he exclaimed, then flushed a rosy pink. "U-um... Will you go?"

"Of course, Pit!" Aliko gave a bright grin.

The dark-blue-eyed boy sighed in relief. "Oh, good."

As she walked down the neat, warm hallway with Pit, bubbling with excitement for the upcoming trip, Aliko realized two very important facts.

One, she would be alone with Pit for a week.

And two, she was content. She didn't need to tell Pit how she felt, because at that moment, they both knew each other. Nothing had to be said. Aliko and Pit had an unspoken, mutual trust, and she realized that what she felt for him, he felt equally for her.

Smiling over at him, she slipped her smaller hand into his.

"Let's go have those potato chips, Pit."

"I thought you'd never ask, Aliko."
