fall in love with Echizen

— Confession.

I went first.

— first kiss.

Also mine first.

— Hugging in the face.

It's all me first.

So why do I still feel oppressed?

The feeling of losing.

It is only now that I vaguely realize that I used to do whatever I wanted, but now I feel weird while following my heart.

Ryoma's eyes also became strange.

In the afternoon, I was deep in thought while participating in club activities.

"Hey, Ewha, are you cold?" Wang Tanaka ate potato chips, shaking the chair, the book was held by her fingertips, and the white paper was stained with potato chip crumbs.

I was taken aback, lowered my head and tugged at the edge of the mask, and said sullenly, "Mmmmmm."

"Be careful, it's very hot these days, it's an idiot who catches a cold." Akane Juchi was scribbling and drawing on the table without raising her head.

Saginomiya Shiori just stared at me with a dull face and didn't speak.

I:"………"

Silently picked up the book to block it.

"Ah! That's it!" Tanaka Wang suddenly screamed, and the potato chips in his hand almost fell to the ground.

"!" I was also frightened.

Juchi Akane's dead eyes: "What are you doing, you're so surprised."

"I didn't fall in love because—" Tanaka Wang put the book upside down on the table, made a bang, and said seriously, "It's because I don't have long hair!!"

"..." Akane Juchi ignored her and went straight to the water dispenser.

"Look! Whether it's a girl manga or a shonen manga! The heroines all have long hair!! Even Haruno Sakura had long hair before!"

Me: "So you're not reading a book, are you reading comics..."

"Okay, don't expose your ignorance." Akane Juchi sneered, squinting at her, "There are a lot of short-haired heroines, okay?"

"..." Tanaka Wang held back, "...Damn it."

calm down.

After receiving the water, Akane Kikuchi sat back and drank while reading. Shiori Saginomiya did not move, and I turned to the next page.

After a few minutes of silence, Wang Tanaka put down the manga he had raised up: "...I heard that if Diao Cheese runs wildly when he is about to be late, he will bump into Mr. Right."

Me: "Are you all about to be late? ... Stand together?"

Akane Juchi was puzzled: "When two people ran into each other together, wouldn't they bump into each other so much that they couldn't even stand up?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Tanaka slapped the table and said angrily, "The girl running with cheese in her mouth is cute! The boy running with cheese in her mouth is stupid!! Be more handsome, mature and domineering!"

I:"……"

Subtly knew her orientation to snipe.

Tanaka Wang calmed down: "Try tomorrow."

Me: "Seriously?!"

"That's right, Lihua who is in love, what do you think of this movement?" Tanaka opened his mouth, holding a book in his mouth, and made a still movement of running, "How is it swollen?"

Me: "...Your saliva is about to flow out, and don't grin your teeth, your gums are exposed."

Saginomiya Shiori: "It's like a robot running."

Akane Kikuchi: "Is Saginomiya, who is nicknamed a robot, complaining about looking like a robot!?"

Me: "...Nickname?"

"Ah! Speaking of which, Pear Blossom doesn't have a nickname yet!" Nozomi Tanaka let go of the book.

I:"……"

I think this book will not be touched by anyone except Nozomi Tanaka for the time being.

Me: "You have all?"

Nozomi Tanaka: "No."

Akane Kikuchi: "No."

Saginomiya Shiori: "..."

Me: "Then what are you talking about!?"

……

I ended the noisy club activities ahead of time, because Yui and Yui had to go to the first floor to clean up the cooking classroom. Today just happened to be the two of us on duty.

Opening the door, Yui just picked up the garbage, and said with a smile, "Ah, Lihua. I'm going to take out the garbage, you mop the floor."

"Yes." I nodded.

Yui tied up the black garbage bag, hummed a song and walked out.

I stood quietly for a while, then took the mop and went to the bathroom to wash it.

Inevitably, I looked in the mirror again.

The person in the mirror is wearing a mask, only showing a pair of eyes.

I blinked, and the person in the mirror blinked too.

After turning off the tap, I went back to mopping the floor.

The ground is not too dirty, and it is easy to mop it clean, but some corners are difficult to get in, so you have to pick various tricky angles to mop it off.

This is the first floor, and the corridor is outside the window. Occasionally, a few sporadic footsteps pass by, and noisy sounds pass by.

I dragged Yui and didn't come back, so stop.

Ah, I'm going to wipe the dust off with a handkerchief...

"buckle"

I turned my head: "?"

"buckle"

There were no auditory hallucinations, there was indeed a light knocking sound outside the window, and someone was knocking on the window, but because the curtains blocked it, no one could be seen.

I hesitated for a while, and the voice sounded again.

"buckle"

I didn't wait any longer, put the mop away, and opened the curtains all at once.

The visitor was in the posture of bending his fingers and knocking on the window. The mask covered his face with only amber eyes. It seemed that he had just finished exercising, and the sweat slipped from his cheeks into the edge of the mask. Seeing me open the curtains, his eyes widened in surprise. Ryoma lowered his head. Eyes tilted to the side: "Open the window."

I vaguely heard his words, paused, and subconsciously pushed open the window: "What are you doing here?"

"Oh, it's Kikumaru-senpai's treat, and I'm asking if you want to go." Ryoma's voice was muffled because he was wearing a mask, and he looked away.

I followed his gaze, and Eiji Kikumaru, who had a bitter face in the distance, immediately raised a smile and waved his hand, and Takeshi Momoshiro, who was beside him, also nodded with a smile.

"..." I waved back slightly.

I looked at Ryoma in a blink of an eye, the window sill just reached my stomach, and whispered: "I won't go. You go."

I stared at Ryoma's mask, feeling weird.

I cautiously said, "You didn't tell them, did you?"

"Tell what?" Ryoma raised an eyebrow.

I glared at him: "You know it clearly."

"Oh——" Long Mala's long-tailed voice seemed to be teasing, "You mean you wanted to kiss me, but you hurt me."

I:"……"

I blushed in embarrassment for a moment, but luckily I was covered by a mask: "That's not it!"

"Oh, if you say it's not, then it's not." He said indifferently, but what he said was inexplicably embarrassing.

I was angry: "This is just an accident! Do you know the accident!"

"...I know." Ryoma glanced at Senior Kikumaru's place. He and Senior Momoshiro were arguing about something, and didn't even look here.

"But even if it's bad, you can't refute it." Ryoma looked at me.

I fell silent: "..."

He was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly said: "However, you can try again."

I was dissatisfied: "The first kiss is gone, what's the use of trying again?"

"Isn't it uncomfortable for you to hug me for the first time?" Ryoma said calmly, "I found a more comfortable angle for myself."

Ah... Indeed, I hugged Ryoma and moved quietly to find a more comfortable place in his arms.

... By the way, does he actually know? ? ! ?

Me: "Um... so what should I do?"

Ryoma blinked slowly: "Are you asking me?"

I:"……"

That's right, won't you lose?

I took off the mask and hung it on one ear, and swallowed nervously.

Long Ma's eyes were full of jokes, and he didn't feel shy or awkward like before.

"Need I get it myself?" He challenged.

Impulsively, I said, "No!"

I pursed my lips and reached out to hook the thread of his mask, Ryoma kept staring at me.

I stopped, my heart was beating violently suddenly, and my eyes were like flowers.

"Aren't you going to pick it?" After a while, Ryoma interjected at the right time.

I licked my lips anxiously, my stiff fingers continued the unfinished movement, and with a hook, I removed the white line from his right ear, and the mask fell down, revealing the boy's face.

It was an expression with a smile on the corner of the mouth, and there was a small wound on the edge of the lip.

I froze, his mask hanging loosely over one ear, his amber cat eyes drooping.

I put my hands on the window sill, not knowing what to do.

Really want to kiss?What if you mess up again?And if you really want to kiss, what if it explodes?Wasn't it because of this that I didn't kiss you last time?

...Wait, wait, when did I think so much?Didn't you just do it recklessly before?

"Don't continue?" Ryoma continued slowly, "If you are afraid, you are still far behind."

I suddenly felt guilty: "Who said I was afraid, I was brewing."

"Eh--"

I tried to beat back: "Last time I was going to kiss you outside the school, but I cried, and you still want to comfort me! Why is it like this now!"

"...Oh, that time." Ryoma nodded lightly, "Because the pear blossoms in the past are different from the pear blossoms now, right?"

He evoked a vicious and provocative smile that raised blood pressure: "Now you are even stronger, right?"

"Of, of course!" I lost my mind and followed his words.

Ryoma: "So what happened this morning was just an accident? You just said that."

Me: "...Yes, yes."

Ryoma tilted his head: "Do you want to do it again? I will let you the second time."

I:"………"

Me: "I don't need you to let me go."

My brain was hot, so I didn't think much, because the window sill was separated, I leaned on it to approach, Ryoma didn't close his eyes, the closer I got to the amber in his eyes, the clearer I could see.

Ryoma didn't move, and let me approach, neither taking the initiative nor refusing, just like he said "let me".

I grabbed his shoulder involuntarily, and he lowered his head with the force of inertia.

The aura belonging to Ryoma gradually surrounded him, and he could feel the hot air he exhaled.

I just noticed that Ryoma's face was a little red. I don't know if it's because of the stuffy mask, the aftereffects of playing tennis, or simply blushing.

I was so nervous that my heart was going to explode, but I didn't have as much willingness to refuse as I failed, and I could still persevere.

There was a mistake in the operation, the mouth did not align, but the tip of the nose touched the tip of the nose first.

I unconsciously wanted to stay away, thinking that he was going to make fun of me.

The next second, Ryoma's shoulder was held by Ryoma, stopping my movement.

"... just give up like this?" He said unhurriedly, his eyes lowered, reflecting my appearance.

I was provoked and immediately retorted: "No."

Swallowing, I couldn't help but wrinkled the team uniform on his shoulders. I didn't pay attention at all, and my eyes were full of dragons and injured lips.

Me: "Are you going to kiss me?"

Ryoma: "You are so slow."

Me: "...I'm not slow!!"

After I finished speaking, I speeded up and approached, this time it went smoothly and kissed easily.

For a moment, softness and warmth exploded on my lips, and I couldn't help but close my eyes tightly.

At some point, the boy's arm wrapped around the part above my waist.

Just sticking to it makes my brain explode.

The person who hadn't moved just now stuck to me for a few seconds, then pressed slightly against me.

"Hmm..." I felt my mouth being crushed, and I was being hugged and unable to move.

A sense of crisis is gradually approaching.

Just when I gradually felt something was wrong, the door was knocked.

"Ewha—the door is closed! I didn't bring the key!" Yui's voice outside the door.

Startled, I pushed him away.

Ryoma took the opportunity to lick the wound on the corner of my lips, and slowly straightened up.

I have no time to think about: "...Goodbye! You can go!"

Ryoma hummed, although his expression was still the same as before, but he always felt in a good mood.

I quickly closed the window and drew the curtains, and he was blocked out.

catch my breath.

I always feel like I escaped a catastrophe...

Echizen Ryoma put on his mask again and went out: "Let's go, Kikumaru-senpai, Oto-senpai."

The two who didn't see the couple kissing just now were still arguing loudly.

Kikumaru Eiji: "Hey! Both of you give me less!"

Takeshi Momoshiro smiled brightly: "Don't worry, Senior Eiji."

"Huh." Kikumaru Eiji snorted unwillingly, glanced at the silent Ryoma, and remembered that Ryoma had gone to see his girlfriend just now, "You little one, if you are such a stinky fart, you will be dumped!"

"You don't have to worry about this senior." He said lazily, put on his tennis backpack, tilted his head and smiled, "It's too late for her to like me."

Eiji Kikumaru suffered a critical blow: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Takeshi Momoshiro hurriedly persuaded: "...It's just Echizen's frequent provocations, calm down, Eiji-senpai..."
