Snow White and a Nighttime Stroll
“The night is a bit chilly, isn’t it?”
“Yes, it is.”
On the night after the embarrassing experience of removing tights, I was taking a walk with Himeno.
Even though it was spring and the temperature was rising, the nights were still cold. We held hands tightly to ward off the chill. Himeno wore a pink jacket over her white dress, but in my school uniform, I couldn’t feel her warmth.
Well, it was just an excuse to want to feel Himeno’s warmth.
We intertwined our fingers, holding hands as if wanting to feel this warmth forever. It’s natural to want to be by the side of someone you love.
“The night is quiet and nice.”
“Yeah.”
Although the area around the station was bustling even at night, it became quieter as we moved away. It was nice to be able to take a quiet stroll, even if we occasionally passed people who seemed to have just finished work.
Almost everyone we passed seemed captivated by Himeno’s beauty.
“(You’re)… beautiful…”
“Huh?”
The moonlight illuminated her silver hair, creating an enchanting atmosphere, and I couldn’t help but blurt it out.
The moonlight on her silver hair truly looked fantastical, creating an illusion as if I were admiring artwork in a museum.
“Um… let’s forget what I just said.”
Whether I really thought she was beautiful or not, I unconsciously said it out loud, and I felt embarrassed, my body heating up.
While still holding hands, I used both hands to wave them as if trying to dismiss the comment.
It’s not like you can make something unsaid once it’s been said.
“I don’t want you to take it back. Because it’s Taka-kun’s words…”
Feeling embarrassed by being called beautiful, Himeno gently grasped my hands as I waved them left and right.
“I don’t want to pretend that the words of Taka-kun, who I’m with every day now, never happened.”
The moonlight reflected in her beautiful blue eyes, like jewels, stared directly at me, as if she really didn’t want it to be dismissed.
Certainly, she wouldn’t want to be told she’s beautiful and then have it taken back.
Women want to be beautiful no matter how old they are.
“Sorry. I mean it, you’re really beautiful.”
“Thank you very much.”
Both me, who felt embarrassed after saying it, and Himeno, who felt embarrassed after being told, simultaneously averted our gaze.
Perhaps it was because of the passing office worker-like woman who looked at us and chuckled, saying, “Such a happy couple.” Himeno’s cheeks turned even redder.
In reality, we weren’t actually dating, but what we were doing wasn’t much different from what couples do. Remembering that made both of us feel embarrassed.
Thinking about it, I also felt embarrassed, and my body was getting hotter.
Despite it being a chilly spring night, it felt so hot that it seemed like we were in a sauna.
Himeno seemed to feel the same way, as her warmth was transmitted through our joined hands.
Though I wanted the coolness of air conditioning right away, I wanted to feel this warmth forever.
Because it was the warmth of someone I loved.
“Um… let’s continue our walk.”
“Yeah.”
Feeling the warmth in our bodies, we started walking slowly.
Even though our bodies were warm now, after a while, we would both calm down.
“Taka-kun, thank you for being with me even at night. The bullying has stopped, but sometimes I remember it at night and it makes me sad.”
“It’s okay.”
It’s natural to want to be with someone you love.
And if the person you love is feeling sad, you want to rush to them and comfort them.
Even though it might be impossible to be together all the time, it would make me really happy if she could enjoy our time together at least.
“Himeno, I’ll always comfort you.”
“Ah…”
Wanting to dispel any lonely feelings, I pulled Himeno closer and hugged her.
It was embarrassing to hug outside, but if it could alleviate her loneliness even a little, I wouldn’t hesitate.
“Thank you very much.”
Even though it was just a walk, we stayed embraced for a while.
