It’s Too Early to be Having Newlywed Syndrome! ~Childhood Friends Who Rekindled their Love for Each Other ~

I Want You to be Smiling by My Side

“By the way, what should we do tomorrow?”

Naoto said while staying lied down. The cards were scattered on the room.

“What should we do about what, school?”

While opening the package of the thing they bought at the 100-yen store while sitting in a girly way, Natsuki replied with a question.

“Would it be better if we acted like we’re not on good terms?”

“I think it would be better if we just act normally.”

“If we acted like we always do we will be found out, this is quite difficult. You mean before we started dating?”

“Instead of that, I think it would be fine if we acted a little closer.”

“How about while we are walking to school?”

“Won’t we be going together?”

“If we go to and from school together, we will be found out immediately.”

“I’m alright with being found out, though. I’m not that desperate to hide our relationship.”

“Me too, rather you’re the girlfriend I’m proud of having. I don’t want Natsuki to be teased or sexually harassed.

Should we just tell them the truth if they find out about us?”

“That is better in my opinion. It would be weird to lie if we get found out.”

Natsuki said while tying her hair with the hair tie,

“Do I look weird if I go to school looking like this?”

She asked for Naoto’s opinion.

“You look cute.”

“It looks fine?”

“Is it okay if I take a picture?”

“Eh?!”

“No, you see, that picture we had Iida take, I’m in it and I think I’m somewhat a hindrance there, so I want a photo with only Natsuki in it.”

“Eh—-…………Well, it’s fine by me, though. You like this look? Is it cute?”

“Of course, it’s cute, but um, if it’s all right with you, I want Natsuki to hold the hair tie in your mouth, then make a pose like you’re bundling your hair with your hands.”

“Eh, what?”

“Like this, you put your hands behind your head…….”

“Like this?”

Natsuki removed the hair tie, and held her hair together using her hands.

“Then, hold that hair tie with your mouth……”

“Why?”

“Just because.”

“I don’t want to because I feel like you’re thinking of something lewd.”

“Eh——-?!”

“Why do you want to see something like that?”

“It’s something guys couldn’t do, so it’s our ideal. Just like the way you’re sitting right now.”

“Then you also want to take a picture of me sitting in a girly way?”

“While sitting in a girly way, I want you to roll up your skirt just a little.”

“As I thought, it’s a lewd pose!”

“It’s not lewd.”

“Don’t you have other poses that are, more normal?”

“Then, I want you to hide your eyes with one hand while holding 50,000 yen with the other.”

“That’s even lewder!”

“Then, I want you to pose on the bed with your knee socks removed on only one leg.”

“It’s just the same as before.”

“Ah, I seriously want you to wear something on your neck like a ribbon or a choker.”

“No matter how you look at it, that’s still something lewd.”

“How about a picture of you with a red string tied on your little finger and looking my way while blushing?”

“Now that you suddenly stopped with the lewd demands, on the contrary it feels embarrassing that I don’t know how to reply.”

“Then, I want you to coil the hair tie on your left hand’s ring finger like a ring while looking happy.”

“That’s so embarrassing. Why did your demands veer on the complete opposite?”

“Then, I want you to be smiling by my side.”

“As I said, it’s embarrassing, also a picture of me smiling by your side is already what Iida-kun took last time.”

“I was in that picture. A picture of you beside me smiling, but without my face showing in it, I want to take lots of such pictures.”

“Eh, like what?”

“Like a picture of Natsuki sleeping while I hug you from behind, but only my chin can be seen on the picture.”

“It became lewd again! Why do you keep making it lewd?!”

“It’s just a picture of Natsuki sleeping calmly, so isn’t it wholesome?”

“It will be lewd anyway since you’re hugging me, so declined.”

“How in the world is hugging lewd?”

“When Nao-kun always does it to me while I’m sleeping.”

“I haven’t even hugged you while you’re sleeping.”

“So you admit doing it while I’m awake!”

“Isn’t it normal?!”

“What’s your problem!”

“Eh, Natsuki, is it that you actually don’t like it when I hug you?”

“It’s not like I don’t like it.”

“Ah—- I’m glad.”

“But your hand always ends up on my butt, doesn’t it?”

“It would’ve been fine if you didn’t catch on about it.”

“It’s obvious that I would find out about it!”

“Eh?! I made sure to move my hands slowly so that you won’t find out.”

“How was that in any way slow?! It only took 5 seconds for your hand to move from my waist to my butt!”

“Eeh——, if you found out about it, then it’s very embarrassing for me.”

“I’m the one who’s supposed be embarrassed!”

“Ah— sorry.”

“Geez”

Natsuki and Naoto, who both felt embarrassed, laughed together for a while.

“So, what kind of photo do you want?”

Natsuki returned to the topic.

“I want all of what I said earlier, but I’m cool with just a normal one, so for the meantime, I want to take one picture.”

“Then is it okay if I take one as well?”

“Fine by me.”

“So you see, I want a photo of Nao-kun in your uniform blazer with a loose necktie.”

“For all your complaining earlier, aren’t you the one who’s also requesting something lewd?!”

“It’s not lewd!”

“Then why a photo of me taking off my clothes?”

“You will not be taking off your clothes.”

“But that’s a photo of me as I start taking off my uniform.”

“It’s just a loose necktie, so there’s no knowing if you’ll be taking off your uniform!”

“Going by that logic, there is no knowing if a girl in a photo hiding her eyes and holding a big stash of cash will be undressing either!”

“There’s no mistake that that girl will be undressing!”

“It might just be a young lady who happened to receive a large allowance from her father!”

“Then why does she need to hide her eyes!”

“It’s to prevent the young lady from being abducted!”

“If it’s about preventing the young lady from being abducted, they shouldn’t take a photo of her holding the money in the first place!”

“I see, you do have a point……”

“No, why? Don’t agree so suddenly. You’ll end up surprising the opposition.”

“Okay, understood. Fine. Should we take a picture with the necktie?”

Naoto began taking off his clothes.

“Tell me beforehand if you’re going to change!”

Saying that, Natsuki bolted out of Naoto’s room.

“……It’s somewhat indecent, isn’t it?”

Natsuki said while looking at the photo. It was a photo of Naoto looking at his side with eyes half-open while loosening his nectie, with ntsuki resting her face on his shoulder while smiling.

“I’m in a blazer while Natsuki’s in civilian clothes, so it looks awfully lewd.”

“I’m sorry it ended up being lewd.”

“See? That’s why, on the contrary, there are poses that you think might be lewd but ended up not being one once you look at the photo taken.

Let me take one as well.”

“What kind of photo will you take?”

“A picture of Natsuki with hands tied using my necktie.”

“Ain’t that lewd?!”

“We won’t know until we take the picture!”

“We know even if don’t take one!”

“I’m telling you, we won’t! It might turn out unexpectedly pure and wholesome.”

“Then, would you be able to show that photo to my dad?”

“There’s no way I can show him such a photo!”
