Eventually The Morning Comes/Fashion Check/Yuto’s and Hinata’s Perspectives
The night dawns and the morning rises.
I got out of bed trying not to wake my childhood friend who was still asleep, then I prepared breakfast for the two of us. After I had breakfast, I got ready to go out and left a note for Tsukino saying I was off.
All right, let’s go.
I head to the nearest station where we decided to meet.
I hope I got there in time.
In a hurry, I arrived at the station gate and looked over my watch over and over again… Then I unexpectedly froze.
There she was. Hinata was looking around restlessly.
It was the first time I saw her in that outfit. She was wearing a white blouse and long skirt with a grey knit vest over it. It was a neat and clean outfit that is even somewhat elegant.
Cute—very, very cute.
…ah, it was bad. I almost lost my mind.
I wondered if I looked okay. I wondered if Hinata will laugh at my outfit today, Yarihara even gave me some advice on how to dress.
In fact, the date was fully supported and assisted by Yarihara. It’s my first date in high school, and it would have been too risky for me to make plans on my own.
So in order to strengthen our bond as a family, I consulted to my Junior Yarihara. She even teased me saying ‘Isn’t that just a sister-brother date?’
However, Yarihara helped me seriously. After visiting a number of clothing stores, I received a passing grade for fashion from Yarihara.
I believe in you Yarihara.
“Sorry for waiting, Hinata.”
I calmed myself and called out to Hinata who was waiting for me.
…but
“Ah, Yuto. No it’s fine, I just got here after all—”
As if she was struck by lightning, Hinata went rigid.
W-What was it? Hinata was staring at me, could it be…
“I was wondering if my outfit is a little strange. I thought I’m going to go on a date with Hinata, so I tried to change my look from usual.”
“…yeah, you looked really nice.”
Then, Hinata turned around and looked back.
“Why don’t we just go inside the station? The train is coming soon.”
“Ah… Yeah, sure.”
There was something strange going on, but I don’t really know what it was.
Even after we got into the train, Hinata didn’t look at me at all, she didn’t even say a single word to me. …could it be, my clothes were that tacky?
Yarihara, you took so much time to choose this outfit for me… No, the date had only just started. It was the only chance I get to date Hinata, I need to do my best to make sure Hinata enjoys it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
…wait a minute. What should I do with this?
I really like Yuto’s today outfit…!
No, I couldn’t look at him properly. If I looked at him directly, I would definitely make a weird face. I’ve never seen Yuto in such mature fashion before, he wore a long coat and skinny jeans, and he definitely had his hair set, right? Wait, I can’t do this. They looked so good on him.
I see, I only see Yuto’s usual clothes at home so it looked really fresh to me when he dressed nicely.
But then again, he was too cool…!
“I knew it, I dressed weirdly today. I’m sorry, I put too much effort into my clothes.”
“What!? That’s not true at all! Well, you know—it’s good to dress like that sometimes, you know? I don’t dislike it at all.”
“R-Really? I’m really glad to hear that, I don’t want to let Hinata down, I’m so relieved.”
“…y-yeah.”
“But probably I will never wear these clothes again, I prepared it just for our date today.”
“What? No, absolutely not! I-I think you should wear something nice like that sometimes even if it’s just in front of your family. I’d like to see Yuto wear something like that again sometimes.”
“I-Is that so? Well, if Hinata says so…”
Phew, thank goodness—What was I thinking!
Why was I so upset about it? Even when we were classmates my feelings for Yuto had never been this obvious.
I knew it, it’s because that was my first date with Yuto.
“B-By the way, I was wondering, where is Yuto taking me today?”
“Oh, you forgot? I thought I’ve told you a while ago.”
R-Really? Maybe I didn’t pay attention to what Yuto said when he told me about it earlier. My mind was occupied with my date with Yuto for the past few days.
I felt like I was in a daze the whole time.
At a time like this, Tsukino-chan would probably just act as usual.
She is Yuto’s childhood friend and they have been together for years. When Yuto asked me out on a date, she didn’t even change her expression as if she wasn’t bothered by it, they looked like a couple who have been together for a long time.
More than anything else, Tsukino likes Yuto. I’m sure she would be really happy to go on a date with Yuto.
It should be Tsukino who went on a date with Yuto, not me.
“Hinata…?”
“Eh!? I’m sorry, I was checking our destination again. It would be a disaster if we got off at the wrong station, wouldn’t it?”
“Ahh, that’s true. By the way, we are going to an amusement park.”
“——eh?”
I was a bit puzzled, Yuto told me where to go as if he is really proud about it.
“It’s a place full of fond memories for me, I went there several times as a kid and it’s been a long time since the last time I went there… I think even now that I’m a high school student, I can still enjoy going there with Hinata.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There are many possible locations to go on a date. But I chose this amusement park because I want Hinata to have a good time.
If you’re Hinata who has a lot of friends, there is a high possibility that she had visited popular places many times. So, after consulting with Yarihara, I decided to choose a place that Hinata might not have visited before.
Above all, this amusement park is a memorable place that I had visited many times since I was little. I’m confident that I could guide her there better than anywhere else.
As I stepped through the entrance gate, I was met with a nostalgic scene, it’s just like I remembered in the past. The faces of families and couples glowing with anticipation, spectacular attractions.
I felt so nostalgic that I couldn’t help but sigh.
Then I suddenly realized.
Hinata gazed around the amusement park as if she was dreaming.
“Ah, I-I’m sorry… I got a little spaced out.”
“A-Ahh, it’s fine.”
Are you okay? Hinata, you’ve been acting awfully strange since the start of our date…
“Let’s ride an attraction for now. Hinata, are you okay with a little screaming?”
Hinata nodded awkwardly and we walked to the attraction.
