first it was letters

At first you were confused, you even thought that the person who gave them to you was the one who made them, but actually no, that same person made it clear to you.

"Someone else is giving it to you."

You wanted to ask more, but he didn't tell you more, he simply left politely, bowing and leaving. Kamado was very kind no doubt, if he had been the one who made the letters you would have been very flattered.

The letter was decorated with drawn flowers, your favourite flowers in fact, the writing was perfect, beautiful handwriting and a divine autograph, what was inside melted your heart, it had no name or anything.

The second was candies.

You also thought the same thing, the person who gave it to you was the one who bought them, it wasn't a surprise for you if it had been, he was shaking and blushing, Agatsuma gave you the candies and with that shaking voice he explained why, you didn't understand well, so once he calmed down he exclaimed.

"You get it from a girl!"

A girl, you kept thinking about that, you wanted to ask, but just like when they were giving you the letters, the guy just said goodbye and didn't say anything else. But you had a new clue.

It was a girl, now all the guys on your list were ruled out, but you still didn't understand, why didn't she just give them to you directly?

Lastly, they were gifts.

This time, you already knew it wasn't the boy who gave them to you, Hashibira gave them to you without any care, with him you had more chance to know, when you asked he shrugged his shoulders and said:

"I don't know her name, but she has black hair and she's very quiet, she seems mute."

New clue, this time you said goodbye and left with a smile, it wasn't much but it was something.

It was three weeks, three people in total.

It was funny, they were different people but you knew that the three of them got along very well. In fact, when they gave you something, you would occasionally see the others behind them, but you never saw a girl next to them. At least not while they were giving you a gift or a letter. You didn't know this girl, or so you thought, but curiously, she knew everything about you. From your favourite song to your favourite sweets, you didn't have many friends, but most of them had black hair, so it was hard to know who it was... As you looked at the letters carefully, eating the sweets they had given you, you were rereading them for the fifth time, hoping for a clue... You noticed something, one letter in capital letters while the others were in lowercase. A You leaned forward in your seat, quickly grabbed a white sheet of paper and a pen, writing the vowel. In that letter, the "A" stood out a lot; even though it was lowercase, it was larger than the other letters. This continued in some of the letters. There were too many, so it took you a while to count how many there were. As you reread a recent one, another letter stood out. N You wrote it down below the 'A'. You had 'A, N'. This excited and intrigued you at the same time. One more letter enlarged that consonant. In total, there were four letters with the "A" highlighted and two with the "N" highlighted. Rereading two others, you highlighted two more. K and O You wrote them down and stared at the white sheet of paper where you had written all that. A N K O You raised an eyebrow. It was messy. You looked for a way to organise them. Noka? Pff. K A N O Wait, if there were two letters of each letter in total, then it has two A's... Kanoa? K A N A O ...Now it all makes sense. How silly of you, for goodness' sake... Her name was there all along and you didn't even realise? How embarrassing...

It was a long weekend, but you were finally going to confront Kanao. She was the author of the letters. How had you never realised? She was quite discreet.

You didn't see her all day, which was understandable, as you were in different classes and Monday was the day you saw each other the least.

Until you went to your locker and saw someone unlocking it in the distance. Your heart stopped, but you remained silent when you saw that it was the person you had been looking for a few hours earlier.

Kanao not only had two letters, but also a bouquet of flowers, your favourite flowers and your favourite dessert. Apparently, she thought you would be in class, so she took the opportunity to give you these things in secret.

You quickly approached her, and she noticed you instantly. When you were barely a metre away from her, she turned to look at you... The two of you stood still and silent, neither of you doing or saying anything to break the uncomfortable silence.

To say that Kanao was red was an understatement; the girl was boiling, it looked like smoke was coming out of her head, she blinked repeatedly, she was shaking too much and looked like she was about to faint. "Uh... I..." She tried to speak, her voice coming out lower than normal, as if she were stuttering.
