[Comprehensive] Kazuya's happy life

Tsuruga Ren sat silently in the car.

The location where the car was parked was only one road away from Nanfeng, so through the glass window facing the street, he could clearly see Kazuya and Kise who were sitting by the window.

At this time, the two people in the store had already returned to their normal relationship. The previous charming and ambiguous scene seemed to be just a dazzle or an illusion of his, as if it had never happened from the beginning to the end.

But he knew it wasn't a dazzle or a delusion.

The strong emotions that are still churning in the bottom of my heart at this moment are the best evidence.

Tsuruga Ren raised her hand to cover her chest.

Through a thin layer of clothes, the irregular beating of the heart passed through the chest cavity and was clearly transmitted to the palm pressing there.

The handsome face that was evaluated as "just looking at that face is enough to bring about a terrifying heartbeat shock" is reflected in the rearview mirror at this moment, with a cold and expressionless appearance, and with him The eyes of his own in the mirror, which belong to him at the moment, are so strange and familiar, cold and temperatureless, glowing with an inorganic metallic luster, but there seems to be some unknown kind of lurking in the depths of the eyes. Once the ferocious beast is out of the cage, it will swallow up all reason in an instant, leaving only the instinct to do whatever it wants...

Tsuruga Ren closed her eyes slightly.

The slightly heavy breathing echoed in the quiet car, and after a while, it gradually became lighter and slowly returned to the normal severity and frequency.

Tsuruga Ren opened her eyes again.

What was reflected in the rearview mirror again was his "regular" appearance with a slight smile, calm and gentle.

After staring at himself in the mirror for a while, he suddenly sighed heavily.

This is not normal.

So abnormal.

Of course he knew that he cared about He and He very much.

But that's because the other party is his lost and recovered childhood friend, an "ally" with whom he exchanged the deepest secrets in his heart, and even a "difficult brother" who has the same troubles and similar situations as him.

During the time spent with Kazuya, it was the first time he was truly understood with empathy, it was the first time he completely opened up to others, and it was also the first time he realized that maybe what he once thought was enough Effort, in fact, is far from enough.

So obviously it was an experience so long ago, and the time we spent together was only a very short half summer, but it left a heavy stroke in his memory, and after the accidental loss of contact between the two of them, they ended up together This incomparably fortuitous and coincidental way was deeply imprinted in his heart, making the existence of Kazuya a spiritual sustenance in a certain sense for him, and...a strange obsession.

All these were analyzed and understood by himself as early as the beginning of his reunion with Kazuya.

But what happened to the emotion just now?

Why did he feel so... angry when he saw the natural and intimate relationship between Kazuya and Kise? !

Such emotions arise out of the worry that your best friend may be snatched away?

Or is it out of... jealousy of another guy who seems to be closer to him than himself?

Either way, it sounds very childish.

Besides, Tsuruga Lian doesn't think she is a narrow-minded person.It's normal for Kazuya to have other good friends besides him, and there's nothing to mind at all.

So why is there such an emotion before?

He has already passed the age where he would have an exclusive desire for a good friend.

Tsuruga Ren felt annoyed and troubled.

And there is also a little inexplicable embarrassment. (.)

——Although his emotions are only brewing in his own heart, he has never exposed them to others (especially Kazuya).

"It seems that today is not the right time to meet Kazuya again."

With a wry smile and shook his head, he finally looked at Nan Fengli, who was completely unaware of his arrival and his unusually entangled mood, and who was still talking and laughing with Huang Lai, and glanced at Kazuya, without any hesitation, he simply turned the car around and followed As if the road came quietly, it left quietly.

And Kazuya, who really didn't know that he was coming and going from the beginning to the end, after he left, inexplicably glanced at the place where he originally parked outside the window——

Delusion?

I always feel as if someone was there before, looking at me with eyes that are difficult to describe clearly...

His eyes turned slightly around the empty street corner, and Kazuya, who found nothing, could only attribute it to his own illusion in the end, turned around, and chatted with Kise again.

***

The rest of the spring break was spent leisurely and unhurriedly.

For Kazuya, apart from the fact that Tsuruga Ren seems a bit strange recently-sometimes he will suddenly stare at Kazuya in a daze, and apologize with a smile after being reminded, but it won’t be long before he repeats the previous The movement, the entanglement and thoughtfulness in the eyes, every time I look at him, I feel inexplicable for a while-other than that, everything is not much different from before.

He and Tatsuya enjoyed the last vacation of middle school to the fullest, and slowly adjusted their state to the best.

Then, with the arrival of spring, they finally make it to high school in April, when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and become, well, honorable high school students.

"Speaking of which, it's the first time that I'm in the same class as my brother."

Sitting next to Tatsuya, watching him yawning sleepily, Kazuya said with a smile.

This can be regarded as another small regret of the two brothers since they were young. They are obviously twin brothers, but since elementary school, for some reason, they have never been in the same class once.

When I was young, Kazuya was secretly sad about this for a long time, because "Obviously we have never been able to separate since we were born, why can't we be together after going to school!"

Thinking of the self who would feel sad and awkward because of a short separation from Tatsuya, Kazuo couldn't help being embarrassed and a little cute.

Tatsuya rested his chin on one hand, with a bit of drowsiness still on his face, "Perhaps God also feels a little sorry." He said lazily, "It's been nine years, and we haven't been in the same class yet."

——Although he deliberately said it in a joking manner, Kazuya still keenly grasped the same taste of resentment as himself.

So he smiled happily.

Tatsuya: "..."

Smile.

He blushed from embarrassment.

Fortunately, He also knew how to measure, and smiled, but didn't say much.

In addition to Kazuya and Tatsuya, in the class A of the first grade where the two brothers belong, there are Xiaonan, Kotaro, Tatsuya's good friend Harada Masahira, and his other two bad friends. It can be said that they are old acquaintances in middle school. Great gathering of people.

The official joining of Kazuya and Tatsuya also made all the seniors in the baseball club rejoice.

At the same time, on the same day that the two brothers joined the club, Konan also submitted an application to the baseball club and became another manager of the baseball club after Sachiko Nishio.

"Xiao Nan is very popular."

Standing outside the crowd, looking at the girl who was surrounded by a group of seniors from the ministry, smiling and greeting the girl, Kazuya turned his head and smiled meaningfully at Tatsuya:

"How is it? Is it finally a sense of crisis now, brother?"

Tatsuya made a serious face.

"You're so wordy." He said stiffly, "Isn't that guy always like that since he was a child? Kazuya is the same as her. I've already gotten used to it."

That's why I don't feel any sense of crisis!

The elder brother turned his head angrily.

He also smiled and looked at him: "So in fact, my brother has always had a sense of crisis towards me? I also thought, 'Stay away from him, that's my brother! You seem to have a good relationship with him. Does he know you very well? !'so?"

"...Who would think that way!" Tatsuya glared at him fiercely, "I'm not that kind of younger brother!"

"Hey! Didn't you think about it?" Kazuya lowered his eyelids pretending to be lonely, and his eyelashes cast a melancholy shadow under his eyelids: "It's so lonely... so my brother only cares about Xiaonan, and doesn't care about me at all..."

"Where did you come to that conclusion, you man!" Tatsuya frowned immediately, "Also! Don't act like this on purpose, I won't be fooled!"

"Really." The melancholy on Kazuya's face became heavier.

"..." Tatsuya suddenly felt powerless.

At this time, the minister Kuroki, who was also standing outside the crowd, couldn't stand the entanglement of his good-for-nothing members to the beautiful new manager, and stretched out his hand to pull the most noisy ones away from Xiaonan:

"I'll be a bit more moderate to those who are acting like a baby to my juniors! Don't you guys know that Asakura joined our baseball club because of Uesugi and the others? She is the exclusive manager of Uesugi-kun!"

"Hey~~~" There was a loud sigh among the members immediately.

Although they had heard the rumors about Kazuya and Xiaonan in the middle school before, it was a long time ago after all. Since the summer of the second grade, such rumors gradually ceased to spread. , I thought the previous ones were just rumors, but I didn't expect...

"That's not the case, Senior Kuroki!" Xiao Nan waved his hands at the pitiful stares of a group of teenagers, "I will treat everyone equally!"

"It's okay if you don't force yourself, Asakura." Kuroki said "I understand that you said that to comfort these guys" expression, "It's okay to do it according to your original idea."

"Hmm..." Xiao Nan tilted her head when she heard the words, "Then, I'll favor the two of them a little bit." She finally said this with a smile.

Under the smiling gaze of the girl, the two Uesugi brothers looked at each other and sighed.

"I always feel like I've been drawn a lot of hatred." Kazuya smiled and held out a hand to Tatsuya: "So, let's work together, brother?"

"That's the only way to go ╮(╯_╰)╭"

Tatsuya stretched out his hand with a face full of powerlessness, and gave him a high five.

Afterwards, the two brothers began their first school practice after entering high school.
