My Precious Childhood Friend Got a Boyfriend - Chapter 20
Love
Shogo’s POV
“Well then, how about I become your girlfriend?”
I’m at a loss for words.
All I can say is a dumbfounded,
“Eh…?”
What’s she talking about?
Is she joking around with me…?”
“Are you serious about that…?”
“Yes, I’m serious.”
Nanami’s expression seems serious.
It doesn’t seem like she’s lying or joking.
She’s probably being serious right now.
“Why would you want to be my girlfriend…? You don’t get any benefits from it.”
It’s truly a mystery why Nanami would want to be my girlfriend.
I wonder if there’s some ulterior motives or something like that…?
No, wait a minute, if I remember correctly…
Suddenly, I remember Nanami’s words.
‘—I love you, Shogo-kun…’
Back in our first year of high school, Nanami confessed her feelings to me.
I was also very much in love with Nanami, so I was really happy about the confession.
However, back then, I was dating Tanimoto Honoka, so I turned down Nanami’s confession.
I actually wanted to be with Nanami, I wanted to be Nanami’s boyfriend, but I didn’t want to betray Honoka…
Could it be that Nanami still likes me?
Is it because she still loves me that she wants to be my girlfriend?
No, that seems unlikely.
As I’m thinking about such thoughts, Nanami speaks up.
“I still…love you, Shogo-kun.”
“Eh…?”
Eh? Wait a minute.
Nanami still loves me?
Is she being serious…?
Ignoring my confusion, Nanami continues.
“Do you remember when I confessed my feelings to you in our first year of high school?”
“Yeah, I remember.”
“I thought for sure that confession would succeed. But well, you rejected me…”
“……”
“When you rejected me, it was really hard. I even thought about ending my life…”
“Ending your life…? You got to be lying, right?”
“No, I’m not lying. Back then, I seriously considered suicide…but well, in the end, I was too scared to actually do it, though.”
The shock of being rejected by me drove Nanami to consider suicide.
Knowing this sends a chill down my spine.
“I tried really hard to forget about you, but I couldn’t. I just can’t let go of my feelings towards you. It’s impossible, my heart just won’t give up on you.”
“……”
“Please Shogo-kun, I’ll do anything. I’ll even do embarrassing things for you, so please be my boyfriend. I’m begging you…”
I see, so Nanami still has feelings for me.
Is that why she let me have sex with her last night?
When I look closely, I notice that Nanami’s body is trembling.
She must be scared of being rejected by me again…
I have to give her my answer to her confession quickly.
“Nanami…”
“Y-Yes…”
“Well…I love you too.”
“…eh…?”
Nanami’s eyes widen at my answer.
She has a surprised expression on her face.
“Do you really love me, Shogo-kun?”
“Yeah, I really love you, Nanami.”
The moment the word ‘love’ got out of my mouth, Nanami’s face turns bright red in an instant.
Her ears and neck are also flushed in red.
She must be embarrassed.
“Do you really like me…?”
“Yeah, I really do.”
“I see…ehehe, I’m so happy…I’m really happy, Shogo-kun.”
Nanami says so and hugs me tightly.
I also wrap my arms around her back and gently embrace her.
“Nanami…”
“Shogo-kun…”
We bring our faces close to each other and kiss passionately.
I love her. I really love Nanami.
I want to be by her side forever.
I don’t want to give her up to anyone else.
I don’t want anyone else to have her.
I want her to be mine and mine alone.
I want to marry her.
I want to have children with her.
I want to grow old with her.
Countless of wishes grows within me.
“Chu…hmphhh…hmmm…”
Nanami and I kiss each other passionately multiple times.
We press our lips against each other’s, intertwining our tongues together.
After kissing for a while, we briefly let go of each other’s lips to catch our breath.
Nanami’s face is completely debauched.
Her eyes are teary.
It seems like she’s totally turned on…
“Shogo-kun, I can’t wait any longer…”
“Yeah, I can’t hold myself back any longer either…”
Unable to hold ourselves back any longer, we reaffirm our love on the bed.
