The time when I forcibly slept with my friend's sister!

How long did I hold Yui? I don’t know.

Was she alright with this? I don’t know.

Was I being a bother to her? I don’t know.

But just at this moment, I wanted to hug her and let all my anxiety wash away.

Her warmth was what I desired. The world didn’t matter to me. I just needed Yui at the moment and thankfully I was provided with her support in this unusual phase of my life.

I don’t remember when was the last time I went through this kind of panic attack. Strangely I always sought Mom whenever I felt my anxiety striking up but maybe today, because I knew I couldn’t reach her at the moment or because I trusted Yui to the extent of allowing my weak self to surface in front of her, I found myself depending on Yui.

“Are you alright now, Senpai?” After I let go of her, Yui asked in a concerned voice.

Her face was flushed because of the heat which made me realize how foolish I was to squeeze the girl so hard.

“I am sorry, Yui…I just felt a little apprehensive…”

“You don’t need to explain anything Senpai. I am happy that I was able to help.”

Seeing her smile assured me that Yui didn’t mind bearing with such a childish side of mine. I feel kind of embarrassed and at the same time, relieved.

Well embarrassed because I had to rely on my junior when it should have been the other way around and the fact she didn’t seem disappointed in me made my tensed shoulder lighten up.

Yui is such a brilliant girl…I truly don’t deserve her at all.

“Don’t think about anything silly now, Senpai.” Yui held my cheeks with her warm hand before a bulge appeared on her left cheek.

“Am I that easy to read?” I couldn’t help asking since it was amazing to realize how easily Yui read my thoughts just by my expression.

“Don’t worry, Senpai. It’s only your g-g-girlfriend who can read your face this clearly, so you are safe.”

…why do you boldly call yourself my girlfriend when you get this flustered?

I couldn’t help but chuckle at that reaction, making Yui hit my shoulder with her small fist in complaint. She was so small and adorable that the feeling of protecting her innocence elevates every time I get to see her.

And just like that, without me realizing it, Yui helped me get over that suffocating sensation I was going through some moments ago.

We both sat on the stairs after I cleaned it up using my handkerchief. Yui sat inches apart from me as I handed her the meat bun after tearing the wrapper.

“How cool, Senpai~” Yui cooed as she lightly bumped her shoulder into mine with a small grin lifting her lips.

“…it was just the wrapper…” Great, now I was being flustered.

We both sat while chewing on the bread which made me forget that I had brought my lunch today. Well, I will finish it up later since, right now, I want to spend some more time with Yui.

‘Ah, I forgot… ‘

Suddenly, a realization struck me before I blabbered in an uncaring tone, “I was being asked out, today. Someone confessed to me in front of the whole class.”

Yui’s movements halted evidently before I took a look at her shocked front.

Considering how insecure she seemed upon finding that letter in the morning and after what Miho had told me about Yui, this reaction was understandable.

Without allowing her to feel any more anxious I soon added, “I rejected her outwardly so don’t worry.”

Yui gulped the meat bun stuck in her throat before she spoke in a slightly serious tone, “I know you would never betray me Senpai, but I am shocked to hear that you were asked out like that….so boldly. Does that girl have no shame?”

She seemed pretty serious about this so just to lighten up the mood I joked, “If someday, I come into your classroom and confess to Yui-chan in front of your friends and classmates…would I also be considered shameless?”

“…!”

Yui’s eyes widened slightly as she hurriedly shook her head and replied in a broken tone that made no sense whatsoever.

She wasn’t averse to the idea of being asked out by me in front of others.

Well, I just asked her this to uplift the mood but the bonus duration to gaze at a flushed and stuttering Yui was always welcomed.

[3rd Person POV:]

It was around one on the clock and the first period after the lunch break was undergoing when suddenly the door of class 2-C slid open.

The gaze of everyone except Yui went to the woman who was their P.E. instructor. The teacher who was teaching the class history lesson halted before she went to chat with the P.E. instructor regarding her sudden arrival.

The class began to chat amongst themselves upon finding the opportunity. The only person who didn’t move from her spot was Yui who was stabbing her pen slowly over a name written over her notebook. The number of times she has poked her pen over the single name has created a small hole in that place.

‘Hitomi…why are you so persistent..are you fed up with your life?’

Yui was so dwelled in her not-so-healthy thoughts that she didn’t notice her teacher’s repetitive calls.

“Yui.”

“Ah!” It was her friend sitting behind Yui who poked from behind which made Yui realize how everyone was looking at her.

“Are you feeling unwell, Yui?” The history teacher asked in a concerned tone since she had never seen Yui this unresponsive before.

Yui assured her that everything was fine before she was informed about her early leave application.

“I will text you the homework and notes.” Her friend told her before Yui gave a thankful nod and left the class with her bag in hand.

It was one of those days when she had to fulfill her obligation as the daughter of the Tsukasa family and meet her parents.

“Wait near the entrance. I will bring you brother soon.” Yui wanted to ask the instructor whether she could follow her so she would be able to see her Senpai even once.

But the instructor walked away without batting an eye at Yui’s plea.

“Well…I don’t want to bother Senpai…” Consoling herself the girl began to descend to the ground floor when suddenly someone jumped on her from behind, making Yui nearly stumble on the stairs

“Yui-chan~”

“Ah!” Yui somehow balanced herself before she turned to look over her shoulder only to get shocked upon witnessing the girl about whom Yui had been thinking since afternoon.

“….Hitomi.”
