It’s Too Early to be Having Newlywed Syndrome! ~Childhood Friends Who Rekindled their Love for Each Other ~ - 1 - 11 - It’s Okay if We Go Slow

It’s Okay if We Go Slow

          “It’s here——. Come on, eat up.”

Natsuki brought in the pizza and lined it up. Thinking that he could finally eat, the hungry Naoto swallowed his saliva.

“Cheers! Fuuuh, I’m so glad I recovered before Christmas——”

While reflecting how thankful she was for her health, she proceeded to drink carbonated soda.

“——Delicious. How days have passed since I drank a carbonated drink.”

“Is your body already fine?”

“Perfectly fine. Complete recovery.

But it’s really painful not being able to eat my favorites—–. Even though I was not able to eat fatty foods, I only lost three kilos. I’m really sad.”

While saying that, Natsuki gobbled on a pizza.

Naoto, seeing Natsuki enjoying the food, was deeply moved.

“It was really rough, wasn’t it?”

“Lately, once my stomach stopped getting painful, in exchange for feeling better I became anxious waiting for Christmas Eve. Now that I can eat what I like, they taste even better than I knew.”

After saying that, Natsuki took another bite of pizza.

“……Hmmmm—-, this is the best. Is pizza this delicious? Is ti because it’s been a while since I ate it?”

“No, this one is really tasty.”

“Isn’t it? Morita-kun, eat as much as you can, okay?”

“Oshida-san as well, you really did your best, so you need to eat a lot.”

“You won’t get disillusioned with me even if I eat without restraint?”

“At this point, I won’t. In the past, it was very clear to me how Oshida-san eat more than me.”

“That’s right, when we were kids, Morita-kun only ate little. I saw how happy you are that you can now eat large amounts of food at the school cafeteria.”

“The meals at the school cafeteria are so different from set school lunch, I can choose what I want to eat, so for me who has unbalanced diet, it’s a lifesaver. Maybe it’s because of that, that I somehow grew taller and I don’t easily get ill.

I was surprised when I found out how important it was to have enough nutrients in your body.”

“I was told by my mom in the past about how you have overtaken me in height, but you’re really taller than me now, huh. Your hands are bigger, and you have Adam’s apple now.”

While saying that, Natsuki caressed Naoto’s throat with the hand that is not holding the pizza.

“You’re not afraid touching it? I remembered how icky you felt when you touched your father’s Adam’s apple.”

“It’s okay, Morita-kun’s is cute.”

“Is there any difference?”

“When I think about how it is proof that Morita-kun has grown into an adult, it felt like I can touch it like giving someone a head pat. You’ve changed a lot, you’ve become cooler.”

“Oshida-san as well, you’ve become very beautiful.”

“Really?”

“Yup, whenever I look at you when were close like this lately, I was surprised with how really cute you’ve become.”

“Then, then, whenever I’m close to you, does your heart skip a beat?”

“It does. How about Oshida-san?”

“Me too, my heart keeps throbbing.”

“Even now?”

“Un, it keeps throbbing so much, it looks like it wouldn’t stop. It’s embarrassing if it only happens to me, so make your heart skip a beat as well.”

“It already is. I can’t make it beat faster than it already is.”

“Won’t you get mad if I act more and more over-familiar with you from now on.”

Naoto doesn’t understand the meaning behind Natsuki’s words that well.

“Of course, I won’t get mad……”

He replied for the time being.

“I think Morita-kun and I have become fairly close with each other, how about you?”

“Yup, I thought so as well.”

“Then, just like Morita-kun’s mom, is ti okay if I call you Nao-kun as well?”

“Eh, why?”

Naoto’s heart started beating even faster. Naoto thought about how it was the same her dream version calls him.

“I thought it would be fine since it’s just the two of us here. Also, that’s how I call you in the past………… I can’t?”

Natsuki, who’s leaning at Naoto’s shoulder, looked up at him.

“I-, it’s fine.”

“Thank you, Nao-kun.”

Natsuki whispered to Naoto’s ear.

Naoto, in a different meaning from when the pizza arrived earlier, swallowed in his throat.

It’s weird for Oshida-san to be acting like this. In the first place, it’s weird that she moved the venue of the party to her room with the reason that my room is untidy. Lately, she’s been acting very kind and very cute, it’s very weird.

Especially today, she’s been acting very weird.

“Nao-kun, is there something you want to receive as Christmas present.”

“Uuummmm…… Is anything okay?”

“It’s okay, just say what it is.”

“Uuummm……. Eeeerrrrr…… What should I ask for?”

Naoto, who can’t say a thing, became frustrated at himself.

Why am I suddenly unable to say anything at this time? As I get more anxious, the more I can’t form words in my mouth.

Naoto became so vexed that he can’t help but feel pathetic.

“You can’t say it because it’s something perverted?”

Natsuki teased him while giggling.

“Ugh…….”

For a moment, the thoughts of a man’s desire flashed across Naoto’s mind. The fact that Natsuki saw through that made Naoto lose his composure even more.

“I know, you know. The fact that Naoto often looks at my thighs and chest.”

Natsuki smiled.

“I’m sorry.”

Naoto apologized while looking like he might cry.

“Even the fact that Noto likes me, and how you’re trying you very best all for my sake…… I know it all.”

Natsuki gently embraced Naoto.

Natsuki continued talking while staying that way.

“That’s why……. It’s okay if we go slow. It’s fine if you don’t say it.”

“Right now, for one minute, I will close my eyes. If you really love me, I want you to kiss me.”

It didn’t take ten seconds for their lips to touch.
