[Black Basket] Star Trail

"I haven't forgotten about the final ... I don't think I'll forget it for a long time."

"I know."

"Maybe Akashi-kun has already felt it." Kanzawa Norie wiped Akashi's collarbone with his lips, wiping away the water stains on it, "It's really scary when I get angry."

"……I know."

"Also," Kanzawa Norie realized that her voice was not quite right, and at some point she started talking to Akashi in a coquettish tone, "It hurt me just now."

This time Akashi Seijuro finally didn't answer, but moved his head slightly, and looked at her lips with the dim light of the street lamp.As the girl complained, there was a little redness and swelling, and he had to admit it himself.

It was he who was out of control.

Norie Kanzawa backed away before he could get close again, but Akashi's arm was strong enough for her to struggle - maybe she didn't want to leave either. "I'm hungry...it's cold in here."

This is the end of September when summer turns into autumn, and the temperature in the morning and at night are completely different. When going out to school today, Kanzawa Norie didn't bring a sweater, and now she regrets it.Of course, at that time, she never thought that she would not go home so late.

Akashi Seijuro himself was only wearing a T-shirt and had no extra clothes to borrow from her, but the red-haired boy didn't let her go.Kanzawa Jihui touched her arm, "...Aren't you leaving?"

The other party still did not respond.

"... Akashi-kun?"

Kanzawa Jihui looked back in confusion, and when he met his red and gold eyes, he seemed to realize something.At that second, the girl turned her head away, covering her expression with bangs and lights.

The girl's voice was as soft as a mosquito, "...Ah Zheng."

Kanzawa Norie's voice was unbelievably soft, like a cup of milk tea with too much sugar added, or milk sugar that was so sweet that it was greasy in the mouth, in short, it made people feel a sense of pressing.No one had ever called his name like that, and Akashi had never imagined that his own name could be so sweet.

"Let's go." He said, and let go of the girl.The two walked along the street, Kanzawa Norie seemed a little afraid of the dark, and was closer to Akashi Seijuro than usual, almost walking close to his hands.

"When did you make up your mind? About Luoshan."

Akashi glanced at her. "it's been a while."

"……why did not you tell me?"

That's a really good question.Even Akashi Seijuro couldn't answer it himself, what kind of mentality did he have in order to keep it a secret from her.As if preparing a huge gift, or simply wanting to retaliate against the girl's previous concealment, Akashi Seijuro didn't confide a word to the girl.

Of course, Norie Kanzawa didn't have to know his every thought.

Akashi Seijuro stretched out his right hand, moved her five fingers, and then clenched it tightly.

As Akashi expected, Kanzawa Norie's attention was diverted by his movements.

The brown-haired girl looked sideways at her hands.

The difference between the two is not limited to the size of the palm or the temperature level, Akashi Seijuro's movements also have a deeper meaning.The young man pressed his palm close, Kanzawa Norie could even feel the thin calluses on his hand, it wasn't very rough, but he would know it immediately when he touched it.

"Chi──Azheng," Kanzawa Norie couldn't change his words immediately, "you haven't eaten yet."

"Ah."

"Want to eat? I can accompany you. There is a ramen shop nearby." The girl shook his hand with her slender five fingers, and Kanzawa Norie frowned, with a worried expression on his face, "It's okay not to eat or something." Can not be done."

"Don't worry about me. There is dinner at home." Akashi Seijuro replied, scratching her palm with his fingernails inadvertently.Before Kanzawa Norie had time to react too much, the red-haired boy suddenly increased his grip, preventing her from escaping from his grasp.

He seemed to be doing an experiment, repeatedly testing every sensitive point of the girl, and recording every reaction of her for future reference.Kanazawa Norie glared at him.Whether Akashi Seijuro's move was intentional or unintentional, how could she not see it.Maybe she was wrong, before the red-haired boy turned his head to look in another direction, Kanzawa Norie saw a vague smile on his face.

"Ah Zheng, it's not difficult to get admitted to Luoshan. As for me..." Kanzawa Jihui said, "I haven't received any news yet, so I don't know if I can get admitted."

"Ah."

──Actually, I want to say more than one word.

──Actually, I want to ask her "Then do you still want to go to that school?"

──But I couldn't ask a single word.

If all this is as beautiful as a dream, then Akashi Seijuro feels that the spell that woke him up from the dream must be the question stuck in his throat.Norie Kanzawa took the initiative to bring up this topic, which Akashi never expected—he didn't think the girl would talk about it at all.

Not knowing is the source of fear.

What exactly is she trying to say.Akashi Seijuro had no idea what direction she wanted to lead the topic.Rather than saying that he lost his sanity or calmness, it is better to say that the sense of happiness came so suddenly that he lost the ability to respond——Akashi Seijuro is undoubtedly a successful person, but he is not a person who is used to happiness ──Even though Akashi would not agree most of the time, but at this moment he can clearly point out that the two are not consistent at all times.

Akashi Seijuro stopped in his tracks.

The brown-haired girl next to him grabbed the hem of his T-shirt.

"To be honest, I didn't think Ah Zheng would do this... It's a bit like a dream." Kanzawa Jihui tilted her head, as if a little embarrassed, but she still said, "I'm very happy .”

She repeated it quickly. "I'm really happy."

There were no other pedestrians on both sides of the street. Akashi Seijuro saw her look around, and then as if he had made up his mind, he stretched out his arms to hook the back of his neck, and then made him bow his head slightly, and kissed her with a slanted head. his cheeks.A kiss so soft that he almost thought it was an illusion.

He heard the words of Kanzawa Norie. "...close your eyes."

Akashi Seijuro was only half a step too late, and Kanzawa Norie had already covered his eyes with his hands.

She moved from his cheek to the corner of his lips, and then reached the end, kissing repeatedly, as if she would never be satisfied.

Before the doorbell was rang, the golden retriever pricked up its ears and barked in the direction of the door.Kanzawa Jizheng took a look at Heart, and stood up from the sofa with the takeaway box.

Kanzawa Norie sent an email at dusk, explaining that she would not be able to go home until later today, and that she might not be able to cook dinner in time, and asked them to order takeaway by themselves.After taking care of the company's affairs, the elder brother is not as busy as before. Recently, there are more days to go home for dinner—considering that two people ordering food will be delivered faster than one person, which is a good thing.

"Is it Ji Hui?" The black-haired young man who had just walked from the kitchen asked, holding a beer bottle in his hand, the bubbles were bubbling up, the black-haired young man nodded, and complained half-jokingly as he opened the door.

"It's so late today..."

Standing in front of Kanzawa Kimasa were Akashi Seijuro holding a basketball and a girl with brown hair.

The black-haired boy had discovered a little habit of himself a long time ago.When many people appeared in front of his eyes, the first thing Kanzawa Jizheng saw would be the girl with brown hair and red eyes──or someone very similar to her.It's the same in this situation, Kanzawa Jizheng saw the strangeness of the girl with just one glance.

Because Kanzawa Norie's eyes were originally red, the traces of crying made the rose color look a little lighter, showing the lack of spirit in her eyes even more.

There is no doubt that Kanzawa Norie cried a lot.

Since his parents passed away more than a year ago, Kanzawa Norisha had never seen her cry again.

"You—!"

The black-haired boy suddenly looked at Akashi Seijuro, took a few steps forward and clenched his fists, trying to find trouble with him.However, just before Kanzawa Jizheng touched the red-haired boy, a hand was placed on the former's shoulder from behind.

The black-haired youth who had already changed into home clothes took Kanzawa Norisha a step back.The strength of the young man's hand is so strong, it is big enough to stop the young man from running away with one hand.At this time, Kanzawa Norie has also reacted, blocking between the two, Akashi Seijuro lowered his eyes to look at the girl, Kanzawa Norie explained slowly, "I... am not what you think."

Kanzawa Yoshihiro put down the beer bottle in his hand. Although his expression was not as angry as the boy he was holding, it was by no means a good expression. "...What the hell happened?"

The eyes of both people were directly projected on Akashi Seijuro, but this was not a good time for him to speak up to defend himself. At this time, only what Kanzawa Norie said could convince them, and Akashi's words had no weight at all. "It's nothing special, I lost my temper...it's none of Akashi-kun's business. I'll talk about the details later, but right now... Akashi-kun is just sending me home."

Of course, the red-haired boy was also aware of the girl's attention to addressing.

After all, he is older and has a certain city, the black-haired youth loses control only for a moment, and then returns to his normal state. "I see. Excuse me, Akashi-kun, do you need me to give you a ride?"

"I can go home by myself." Akashi Seijuro shook his head and declined, then turned to the girl, "Then, good night."

"Good night." Kanazawa Jihui replied, then grabbed the hand of the black-haired boy and pulled him inside.Akashi Seijuro watched the three of them turn back, the door was closed by the young man with his backhand, the small warm yellow lamp under the eaves was still on, the red-haired boy stared up for a moment, then turned and left.

Kanzawa Yoshihiro took the girl by the hand and led her to the dining table. "Did Akashi say something to you?"

"Yes or no..." The brown-haired girl took a deep breath, she should stay with Akashi for a while before going home, perhaps the traces will become less conspicuous, "It's a matter of high school."

Kanzawa Yuki was walking into the kitchen, and Akashi Seijuro could be seen fading away from the kitchen window. The black-haired boy waited until he was completely out of sight before walking out of the kitchen with a cup of warm water.

The author has something to say: there are at least two updates before Thursday, and it depends on personal circumstances whether there will be a third update.
