[Black Basket] Star Trail

There are still five days before Christmas, and small lights have been hung on the street. The hanging lights, mainly red and green, are tied to the door numbers of the shops. If you stand on tiptoe and reach out, you will feel a small group of lights.

Kanzawa Norie touched one ear unnaturally, and the red-haired boy watched her movements without saying anything.The girl's five fingers on his arm trembled very slightly, and he heard her take a deep breath, as if to relieve the tension.Akashi Seijuro turned his head away, even he himself didn't realize the curvature of his lips.

The girl was not too close to him.The posture of holding arms is easy to cause unnecessary body contact, neither Kanzawa Norie nor Akashi's original intention was to do this.In this way, maintaining a distance that is neither far nor close, using the two hands as the bond of connection, this is good, this is just right.

What Akashi said was both a fact and a lie.

There were indeed quite a lot of people on the street. As the festival was approaching and it was time for dinner, there were naturally many people going out to shop, but not so many that the two of them could be dispersed.Neither of them was a bulky type, so even if they were accidentally bumped into, they would surely be able to dodge quickly.Akashi is accommodating her pace, and there is no possibility of them getting separated because of inconsistent pace, so then──

The girl raised her rose red eyes, and her dark brown pupils dilated slightly, like flower petals blooming inch by inch.

Can Akashi's actions... be interpreted as what she is thinking?

Kanzawa Norie never made her attitude public, but her attitude was clear enough in Akashi's eyes.If she was facing Akashi at the welcome banquet at this moment, she would definitely not make such an intimate move.No, not only refused to approach him, probably in her heart, only her classmates remained in her love for each other.

──Kanazawa Norie only likes the Akashi she likes.

──The one by her side now may be the Akashi she likes.

When these two conditions happen at the same time, like the meeting of two specific chemical substances, like adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing two numbers, an irreversible change naturally occurs.The liquid in the flask begins to change color, and equal signs can appear on the paper to complete a calculation.

If everyone has their own security area, Akashi's must be quite large.Whether it is self-esteem or experience, he is not allowed to open up to too many people.If there is anyone in Teiko Middle School who can walk in, there must be only a few generations of miracles.

The hand he stretched out was like some kind of invitation card. The girl grabbed the opportunity he gave in time, and at the same time heard the sound of the barrier shattering.Akashi Seijuro stood with her on both sides of the invisible wall, and now he cut a hole with his own hands, allowing her to pass through and become one of his closest people.

If Akashi Seijuro gave enough obvious information, Kanzawa Norie would dare to step into the unknown.

She doesn't know what direction things will go, and she doesn't know how far she can go with the other party, but she is willing to try.If you do it, there may not be results, but if you don't do anything, you can only stay where you are.Whether it's Akashi or herself, there are more or less problems of her own to deal with.

Everything is unknown, but she is willing to explore for the person beside her.

"Here we are." Akashi Seijuro stopped, the restaurant was chosen by the girl, but the seat was reserved by him.The two confirmed their location to the waiter at the door, and there was no reason to hold him at this moment, so the girl took the opportunity to let go of Akashi's hand.Feeling the loss of the girl's body temperature on his arms, the red-haired boy tilted his head slightly, feeling a little unaccustomed to it. "Two people, the name left is Akashi, and the phone number is..."

Kanzawa Norie began to look at the surrounding environment a little bored.

wait a minute

Sitting on the window seat in the restaurant is──

The other party lazily raised his hand and waved towards her.

If you see her, it is impossible not to miss Akashi Seijuro next to her.Kanzawa Norie subconsciously wanted to tug on the sleeve of Akashi's coat, but the waiter had already raised his hand to guide them to their seats.The girl's hand was still on the black sleeve, but the red-haired boy had already taken the lead.At this moment, it is impossible to do things like "turn around and leave", the only choice for the girl is to follow Akashi in.

The waiter led them around a corner, and they were walking in the direction of the man.Akashi Seijuro saw Kise Ryota when he turned the corner, and the blond boy sitting was a plainly dressed woman who seemed to be in the middle of her twenties, so she was not a student of Teiko.The table next to Kise was empty, and there was a brass sign "Reserved" on it. The waiter put it away and said, "Please sit down."

The girl bite the bullet and sat down. Across a not-so-wide corridor, the girl was sitting next to the woman. The heating was turned on in the store. Seijuro Akashi unzipped his jacket and greeted the blond boy calmly.

"Little Akashi, what a coincidence." Probably Akashi's appearance reminded the other party of the basketball club, Kise Ryota's brows were a little gloomy, as if he was bored by something, "And Kamizawa... this is me Manager."

The woman greeted them with a smile, Kanzawa Norie smiled politely like a conditioned reflex, "Good evening."

The two people at the next table seemed to be eating normally. They probably had modeling jobs before or after, and there was something like a memo in the woman's handbag.The waiter handed over the menu, Kanzawa Norie thought it would be a distraction, so she picked it up and opened it.Akashi also has the exact same menu in his hand, that is to say, as long as he takes a second look, Akashi can know where Kamizawa Norie saw.

Kanzawa Norie's eyes paused for a moment on the "Christmas Set for Two", and then opened it naturally.At present, there is no need to go that far, and besides, shouting "Please give me a two-person meal" in front of the classmates I know is quite a challenge for Kanzawa Norie.

"I've made up my mind." Half of the girl's face was covered by the menu card, only the eyes looking at Akashi were exposed.The lighting in the restaurant has a warm orange tone, which softens the color of the girl's eyes, "Where's Akashi-kun?"

"Alright."

The two of them ordered their meals, and the two next to them had already eaten their desserts. Kise Ryota was poking the heart too soft with a fork boredly, watching the chocolate syrup flow out slowly.After all, someone he knew was sitting next to him, Kanzawa Norie was a little uncomfortable, and he wanted to take out his mobile phone to play, but it seemed too deliberate.

When the drinks were served, the two people next to them were also ready to pay.

"Is there still work?" Akashi held the teacup with both hands, almost crossing his fingers.Kanzawa Norie looked at the outline of his side face, the Adam's apple and the exposed collarbone, and couldn't move his eyes for a moment.

"Yeah. It looks like I'm going to work very late tonight." Kise Ryota stretched his waist, his tall body nestled in a small chair, a bit like a giant beast trapped in a cage, "Let's start Let's go."

Kanzawa Norie nodded at the right time, "Then goodbye."

"Take your time." Kise left a meaningful sentence, and Kanzawa Norie looked at Akashi a little embarrassedly. The red-haired boy's face was dull, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry. He waved goodbye to the blonde model.

If he meets the Generation of Miracles in a place other than the stadium, Akashi Seijuro can still look normal.Kanzawa Norie looked down and turned the cup a little awkwardly. From Akashi's perspective, she could see her eyelashes, the tip of her nose and lips. If she looked down...

Akashi looked calmly at the passing waiter.

The meal was a little silent.

"Akashi-kun." Kanazawa Norie said this when he walked out of the restaurant, pursing his lips slightly because of nervousness, looking a little serious, "Before I go back to buy basketballs, can you accompany me to a place first?"

While the red-haired boy nodded, he was also seriously considering her expression, as if he was thinking about the reason for her abnormality.Kanzawa Norie bit her lip, took Akashi's hand and walked in the other direction.

Akashi Seijuro looked down at her hands.

The other four fingers were covered by Akashi's own hand, leaving only the thumb resting on top of the clothes.The girl's tiger's mouth was just enough to eat his forearm, Akashi looked at her thumbnail, there was no crescent pattern on it.

When he saw the locker, Akashi Seijuro finally understood.

He never told the girl about his birthday, but according to Kanzawa Norie's ability, he must have noticed it long ago.Kanzawa Norie took out the key from his bag, looked back at Akashi, his face was a little blushing, he didn't know if it was a good face from the heating in the restaurant, or an expression of emotion.

"Akashi-kun...can you close your eyes?"

Akashi Seijuro didn't expect the girl to do so much for him.

What Kanzawa Norie has done has far exceeded her duty.Akashi thought that she would say "Happy Birthday" to himself with a blushing face, and spend the evening with him at such a close distance, even though he knew that they were neither friends nor lovers.That's all he asked for.

He couldn't believe the girl didn't notice more.Akashi Seijuro's ability to come out on the night of his birthday already explained the family's problems. With her keenness and meticulousness, it is impossible not to realize it.Kanzawa Norie just considered Akashi's feelings, and didn't ask his own speculation.

There is nothing to expect without giving.What Akashi has done by himself, the girl will do on this day; what Akashi lacks, the girl also plans to make up for it unilaterally.

Seeing that Akashi was slow to do what he asked, the girl simply stretched out her hand to cover his eyes.

her temperature.The aroma of the hand cream.The fine texture of the palm.

The girl's soft palm covered Akashi's eyes, the little finger was placed below the brow bone, and the slightly curved thumb was just above the bridge of the nose.Akashi blinked, his eyelashes brushed against her palm, itching her hand trembling.

I realized it more clearly than before. The girl's five fingers are soft, and the palm is also soft. It looks pleasing to the eye, and when you touch it, you will know that it is as warm as silk and jade.

Akashi heard the sound of the lock being unlocked, and the girl was a little flustered with only one hand, and it took her a while to take out the gift, then she put her hand down.With the light in front of his eyes regained sight, the red-haired boy also saw clearly what the girl was holding.

──Basketball.

"Akashi-kun." Norie Kanzawa held the ball in one hand and handed it over, "Be careful."

He took it and touched the leather surface of the basketball.That's right, this basketball really fits his touch, and Akashi knew it was right for him as soon as he picked it up.Kanzawa Norie closed the door of the locker, "Although it's a bit embarrassing to let Akashi-kun know the price of the gift... But there is no way."

When he left the sporting goods store, Akashi asked the price of it, so of course he knew it well.

The amount is not too big, nor is it so small that it can be ignored.The gift that Norie Kanzawa picked was a surprise in every respect, and Akashi's face was silent, which didn't mean he wasn't touched.

He tossed the basketball and smiled softly. The corners of his eyes were slightly bent. Although he still had golden eyes, the person standing in front of her seemed to be the boy she fell in love with at the beginning. He was sharp but not too sharp. now.Akashi weighed it, exactly the same as he did in the store, "Thank you."

"As long as Akashi-kun is happy." Kanzawa Norie hesitated for a while, but decided to take a step forward, spread his arms, and hugged the red-haired boy into his arms.The scent of flowers and fruits in her hair hit Akashi, Kamizawa Norie clasped his hands loosely behind his neck, Akashi subconsciously stretched out the other hand to hug the girl's waist, her smiling voice At this moment, it sounded, although it was a whisper but not hazy at all, "Happy birthday."

The girl is very thin.

Whether it's the hands around his neck or his waist within the crook of his arms, they all convey the same message. W,, the girl's body is as soft as her palm, not so much "the real feeling of holding Norie Kanzawa", Akashi feels more like hugging a pillow or doll that has the shape of Norie Kanzawa, in short A touch he had never imagined.The red-haired boy opened his eyes slightly, and wanted to turn his head to look at her, but the corners of his lips almost touched her hair.Kanzawa Norie gave him an unequivocal hug, and then took the initiative to back away, with a magnanimous attitude that once again surprised Akashi.The girl smiled timidly as she stroked her hair, her eyes were as bright as jewels.
