The result of keeping my childhood friend company since we were little ~ Spoiling my childhood friend who has become dere dere

Yuki and I slipped out the back of the store with a satisfied look on our faces and went inside.

Perhaps feeling elated, the frightened Yuki of a few minutes ago has disappeared.

On the contrary, a charming voice was bursting into my ear, saying, “Fufu.” This makes a certain part of me react, “Did you call me?”

However, Yuki, oblivious to this, is enjoying the shoulder pillow, resting her head on my shoulder with satisfaction.

Well, it’s okay if she seems happy, I thought, and looked around the store.

A souvenir shop and other stores are set up in a large food court. A restaurant is also in the store, but it opens later in the day and is under preparation at this time during the daytime.

There seems to be a line of stalls outside as well, where one can fill up on a small meal.

“So, where should we go?”

I looked at Yuki, who was relaxing on my shoulder pillow, and saw that she had lost her strength and was looking blankly at me.

It seems that Yuki is in a state of bliss at the moment.

When she accumulates an unacceptable amount of happiness, she shuts out information from the outside world for a certain period of time.

In other words, I could recognize again that kissing me is something that makes Yuki feel very happy.

But I can’t let other people see Yuki’s face with this kind of listlessness. Only I am allowed to see Yuki right now.

Once that was decided, I pulled Yuki’s head closer. Yuki’s head, dropped from my shoulder, rests against my chest.

“…Nn?”

Returning from her listless state with sudden movement, Yuki wriggles her head and looks me up and down.

“Ehehe, it’s Yuu.”

“I am Yuu.”

“Hey, Yuu. About earlier…”

“What? About the kiss?”

“N-No. It’s true that kissing Yuu was nice, but it wasn’t that…”

“Then what?”

Yuki then looked me straight in the eye and told me.

“…Okaa-san said something about making love with your body, but I’m fine with Yuu’s pace…? If we’re going to do it, I want Yuu to feel good without any worries…”

“Yuki… why don’t we talk about those topics in a place where we can be alone?”

“Eh? …Auu.”

It’s not nice to make such a statement in a place with not a few people coming and going. It’s obvious that if I were to say, “I want to hold you.” I would attract a lot of attention.

However, I was surprised to hear Yuki say such a thing.

Yuki would’ve run away screaming, “Pervert!”

But if Yuki really wanted to cross the line, I had to respond to her.

I’ve had Yuki accept my feelings for a long time. So, if Yuki wants me, then I have to respond to her…

I want to respond to Yuki’s feelings.

I believe this is the first step for a couple to support each other.

Yuki’s story when Yuu wanted to respond to Yuki’s feelings.

“…Okaa-san said something about making love with your body, but I’m fine with Yuu’s pace…? If we’re going to do it, I want Yuu to feel good about it without any worries…”

I didn’t know why these words came out.

Maybe I thought them while kissing Yuu.

Maybe Okaa-san made me aware of a thought that I didn’t realize I had.

I don’t know…

I don’t know my own feelings.

No, that’s not it.

I am afraid.

I want to be with someone I’m so crazy about and love…

I’m afraid that if I tell him how I really feel, he’ll run away…
