It’s too Early to be Having Newlywed Syndrome!

          “The pizza’s gone cold, hasn’t it? Should I warm it up?”

Natsuki said like she just remembered.

“I like cold pizza as well. It’s tasty, you know.”

Naoto, who is hungry, took a bite of the pizza without minding about its temperature.

“Before we knew it, the date has already changed. Merry Christmas, right?”

Naoto got surprised when he heard that.

“Eeeh? Then, I have to go home.”

“It’s fine. Stay here for the night.”

Natsuki said in a carefree manner.

“Won’t we get scolded?”

“Dad said I can let my friend stay if they’re already sleepy.”

“Did your father know your friend is a guy?”

“I didn’t tell him. But if he looks at the shoe on the entrance, he would already know it’s a guy, right?”

“Wouldn’t it be bad if I stayed, then.”

“Is that so?”

“I’ve also been wanting to go to the restroom, so I think, I’ll go home after all.”

“You can use ours.”

“No—–, if I met your father on the way to the restroom, it’ll feel too awkward to stay here, so I’m hesitating to use your restroom.”

“Ah!”

Natsuki suddenly let out in a loud voice.

“What?!”

“Nao-kun, you’re the one who said that people shouldn’t hold back from going to the restroom, but you’re doing it anyway! Your stomach will hurt if you do that, you know?”

“No, this is different. It’s not like I’m holding back or anything.”

“That’s not different! Even though it’s called newlywed syndrome, I read that cystitis doesn’t only develops at honeymoons, but also during Christmas. There are also a lot of people who get reservations about going to the restroom during Christmas.”

Warned Natsuki.

Naoto unconsciously let out a ‘huh’ when Natsuiki pointed it out to him.

Even though he once thought how strange cystitis was when he first heard about it, here he was doing that same thing that people who developed cystitis did. It was because he was made aware of what he’s doing.

I see. People who had newlywed syndrome didn’t had it just because they feel embarrassed going to the restroom, but more so because they don’t want to be separated from their beloved even once, that’s why they developed cystitis.

“You’re right, I apologize. I’ll go to the restroom. Because I don’t want to be parted from Natsuki, I’ve been holding back without me knowing.”

While reflecting about it, Naoto expressed his honest feelings to Natsuki before standing up.

“Un. Take care on your way.”

Natsuki saw him off kindly.

Naoto thought how important it is to not hold back too much when one needs to the restroom, but he also thought about how he doesn’t want to be parted with the one he loves as much as possible, he wished in his heart that from now going forward, he will keep treasuring that feeling.
