Yuuga and Miori.
After crying for a while, Shizuki went quiet and stayed in my arms for a long time, as if she was exhausted.
My heart was pounding and my head was foggy.
But I thought it was probably the same for Shizuki.
It was natural for me to feel this way when we were so close to each other even though we were not lovers.
What time is it?
I could no longer think of anything else but such unimportant things.
The first to break the ice was Shizuki.
“Hasumi-kun…”
“…Hmm?”
“I’m sorry… Even though… I decided I’ll not cry…”
“No… don’t worry about it. I’m getting used to it.”
“Mou~… Please don’t be mean to me.”
In my arms, Shizuki writhed sulkily.
It was a lie.
I can’t get used to something like this so easily.
“I’m going to meet with everyone… after the new year. Then I’ll tell them everything and make sure they understand.”
“……, I see.”
“…They will be pissed off at me, right?”
“No… I’m sure they’ll understand. You all are friends afterall.”
“Yes, but…”
“It’s not that you are going to cut off ties with them. You’re just going to confide in them that you’re actually the more quiet type and change the way you interact with them, right?”
“I’m afraid of that… Not only Yuka and the others, but everyone who knows me at school will start to give me a strange look…”
“It is what it is. It’s going to happen sooner or later, so just give up and be cool about it.”
“Uwaa… I’m getting a bad feeling about this…”
Despite her words, Shizuki’s voice was quite happy.
Even though she was lamenting about what was to come, I guess she was already prepared for it.
Once again, I saw Shizuki looking up at me from a slightly lower vantage point, and even though her eyes were swollen, she was ridiculously beautiful.
The only reason I didn’t look away must be because my tension must have gone crazy a long time ago.
“Oh, that’s right…!”
“Hmm, what?”
“Well… if I did that, I’m sure I’d be alone in school again… So… you know…”
“Oh. I guess Minami…. then, well, I’ll be there for you. If you are okay with it…”
“Thank you very much… Hasumi-kun.”
Shizuki was relieved and stroked her chest in relief.
I could feel the strength draining from her arms, which were already weak.
I looked at Shizuki’s face in front of me.
As if to confirm my feelings, or rather, to chew on them again, firmly.
“…Hasumi-kun?”
Come to think of it, I’ve always cared. I cared too much.
My meddling was unnecessary.
I wondered if my meddling was really for the other person’s benefit, for Shizuki’s.
Because the other person is a stranger.
No matter how much I can’t leave her alone, there are things that I have to prioritize over my own feelings.
Especially, there is no way I can step in so casually on such an overly personal issue.
Unwanted interference is evil.
And yet, I didn’t have the strength to make sure whether the other person wanted it or not.
But now.
“…Hey, Shizuki.”
No, if it’s her then I guess…
“…Yes?”
I want to interfere properly.
Even if it is in the future, she may still be in need of help.
I know It’s wrong because she’s a stranger.
Then I guess I would have to form a relationship with her.
And… make it my own problem.
Of course, I don’t know how Shizuki feels about it.
“I love you.”
“……heh…?’
I wrapped my hands around Shizuki’s stunned face and said.
“I love you. So let me protect you. Even more than how I’m doing now.”
“……”
Shizuki stared at me with her mouth loosely open.
Then gradually, and then all at once, her face turned red.
“Ehhh… AHhh… Hasumi-kun… W-whw-what are y…you sa-saing…”
“What do you mean…? I’m confessing, so please don’t be mean to me.”
“T-T-T-That’ssss be-be-becaus…becasue…. You kn… know.. That you…”
“I-I’m not egotistical either. I’m prepared to be rejected… so don’t worry about it and just give me your reply.”
When I said that, Shizuki’s eyes swam as if she was puzzled.
She blinked many times, put her hand over her mouth, which remained unclosed for a long time, and did not answer anything.
Watching Shizuki like that, I felt as if my own raging heart was gradually calming down.
“…No, I think it’s my fault. Saying this out of the blue. You are surprised, right…?”
“I-I’m surprised… I can’t believe it… that…”
“Sorry. But I couldn’t stand it any longer, and I wanted to… I wanted to help you more… Then I thought that our relationship as it is now is not good enough.”
As Shizuki listened to my words, the tears that should have stopped spilling from her eyes began to trickle down again.
When I wiped them away with my fingers, Shizuki turned her face away in embarrassment and squeezed my hand.
“Let me protect you, you say…! It’s weird…! That’s funny!”
“W-WHY…!”
“Because…! You.. are always helping me. I was getting more emotional support from… you than I could ever get even if I wanted to…!”
“…I’m glad you feel that way, too.”
“But that’s why I’m…! It should be me..! To thank you for everything… Then… To tell you how I feel for you…”
Shizuki buried her face in my chest again.
Thinking back, we had been holding each other for quite some time.
Before I knew it, I no longer resisted the close contact between our bodies, and I felt as if the boundary between myself and Shizuki was becoming blurred.
“I love you too, Hasumi-kun! I love you so so much! If you want, Hasumi-kun, if you don’t mind me being like this…! Please be by my side forever…!”
Eyes wavering.
A fait voice.
Her face on my chest, and the hand she was touching me with suddenly become hot.
I lifted Shizuki up, who has been in my chest for a long time, and embraced her from the front.
Our cheeks and hair touched each other, and I couldn’t tell whose heartbeat I was haring.
Strangely, I felt no embarrassment, but a sense of security, happiness, and love.
“It’s kind of like… a dream.”
“…Well, even if it’s a dream, I’m really happy.”
“N-noo! If it was… a dream, I’d cry.”
“You cried a lot already.”
“O-once it was your fault, Hasumi-kun…!”
“Ehhh, is that so?”
We whispered these words to each other and laughed.
Before I knew it, my cheeks were slightly wet with tears.
