beautiful him

If only there were no summer vacations.Hirao thought so for the first time in his life.

The long holidays in spring, summer and winter used to be a precious time to temporarily liberate Hirao from the miserable school.But now, a vacation without seeing Qingju is really shit.It's really stupid to think so.Regardless of his humble status, he actually fell in love with the person at the top of the pyramid, and he was also of the same sex.It's almost ashamed to see Captain Rubber Duck.

— Try to keep your inner peace.Don't be overly sensitive to stimuli.

The love for Qingju runs counter to Captain Rubber Duck's teachings.

"How about some fried shrimp for dinner?"

When Hirashi was eating Chinese cold noodles for lunch, his mother sitting opposite said.

"The shrimp in the seafood shop is on sale right now. Anchovy shrimp. Xiao Cheng likes it?"

The family has always eaten black-tailed shrimp, and today he bleeds heavily to buy such expensive shrimp, all because he is still at home with a depressed face every day during his summer vacation as a son.

"Your father likes to eat it too, let's fry some scallops."

Mother did it to cheer herself up, but she deliberately added father's favorite dishes in order not to be noticed by herself, which was really well-intentioned.Thinking of this, Pingliang felt guilty.To be honest, he hoped that his mother would leave him alone, that would be the easiest way.But it was impossible for him to say such words, so he had to eat cold noodles in silence.Suddenly the phone vibrated.Perhaps it was some kind of advertisement again, Hirao picked up his mobile phone to confirm, and it turned out that it was from Shirota.Could it be that--

[Kurokawa's Fireworks Festival.You go to occupy the position of ten people]

The Kurokawa Fireworks Festival is a local customary summer event, and Hirao went there with his parents when he was young.If there are ten people, Qingju will probably participate.Hirashi's mood at the moment is like kelp being beaten by waves on the beach.As long as he can see Qingju, he is willing to do errands or occupy a seat.

"Mom, are two mats enough for ten people to go to the fireworks display?"

"Hey, did the text message just now mean that someone called you to go to the fireworks display together?"

The mother's face suddenly brightened.For ten people, two is too little, and three should be enough, but just in case, let's take four mats.

Is it a friend from school?Are there any girls?Do you want to wear a yukata?Facing one question after another, Hirao began to regret asking his mother's opinion.

The next day, after breakfast, Hirara immediately rushed to the river bank where the fireworks display was held.Even before the preparations for the event started on the river bank, Hirashi laid out four mats, holding heavy objects to hold down the corners to prevent the mats from being blown away.Then sit with your knees in the middle of the mat.

There are still ten hours before the agreed time at 7:[-] pm.This is the first time I saw Qingju again after two weeks.Will Kiyoi come in a yukata?Pingliang really can't wait to see him.There were so many girls in yukatas at the fireworks display, and I was expecting to see a boy in yukatas. My mother would probably cry if she found out.Thinking of his future life, Hirao also felt that he was carrying a huge burden.

But surprisingly, I didn't feel very anxious or pessimistic.I clearly like Qingju, but I don't think I am gay.What I like is Qingju, not men.Seeing the handsome guy Pingliang, there is no fluctuation in his heart, and seeing the beauty is also not feeling.His own antenna is unresponsive to anyone other than Qingju.Only Qingju is unique to him.

While waiting alone, Hirara started playing mobile games with nothing to do, but gradually the top of his head and neck became hot from the sun, and he couldn't continue playing the game.As the day approached noon, the sun became stronger and stronger.Ping Liang gulped down the large bottle of iced sports drink his mother gave him.Originally, Pingliang thought that there was no need to bring so much water, but it turned out that his mother was right.Hirara sat there sweating profusely.

Putting up the parasol, Hirara put the towel over his head and lay down on the cushion to pass the time.Gradually, there were noisy human voices around.Ah, it's almost evening.

"died?"

Suddenly there was a sound from overhead.After slowly taking down the towel, he realized that Qingju was bending over and looking at him.Uwah, Hirara let out a small cry and quickly sat up.Many people gathered on the river bank, and girls in yukata walked past like colorful fish.Ping Liang hastily tidied up the messy cushions and suddenly noticed something, he stopped what he was doing.

"What about the rest?"

Qingju was the only one who came.Hearing Hirara's question, Kiyoi turned to look at him.Hirao suddenly felt an oppressive feeling of being pressed against the wall.Even if he joined their group as an errand runner, he still has not been able to adapt to Qingju's aura.

"Going to pick up the girls"

"Ah, ah, that's it. A girl is coming."

"It's not for you"

Qingju replied indifferently.Because Hirara's answer was too excited, it caused Kiyoi's misunderstanding.Of course he didn't have such expectations.Rather, the current situation is what makes him feel ecstatic.

It was the first time to be alone with Qingju.Just as Hirao suppressed the throbbing in his heart, Kiyoi sat cross-legged on the mat.Kiyoi was not wearing a yukata, but a T-shirt and narrow-leg slacks.Because he has a good figure, he looks good even in ordinary clothes.Ah, Qingju wears tiny studs on her ears.I haven't seen him wearing it in school, maybe he only wears it during summer vacation.

"...What the hell is going on with you?"

Qingju suddenly looked at himself.Hirao's heart beat wildly.

"Eh, what, what, what"

Ah, God, please let me not stutter in front of Qingju.It's a pity that praying to God only had the opposite effect, and my stuttering became even more serious.At times like this, I have to rely on Captain Rubber Duck——.

"You, keep staring at me"

In an instant, Hirao was shocked, as if he saw the rubber duck captain fly out with a whoosh.

What Qingju used was not a question but an affirmative sentence.Is it exposed?Pingliang's face felt dry and hot.Now he dare not pretend to be deaf and dumb.Rather, he felt a surge of desire to express his desire.The atmosphere around him was high because of the fireworks show, maybe he was affected by this atmosphere.

"That, that, that is..."

Stumbling words stuck in his throat like a ball of yarn.

"That's because of Qingju...Qingju-jun..."

Qingju frowned.Ping Liang was very annoyed by his uselessness.Let Qingju wait a little longer, and he will definitely say: Enough is enough, I don't want to hear it anymore.Hirara raised the corners of his eyes, and made up his mind.

"Because Qingju Jun is very beautiful"

Finally said it out, but Qingju's brows frowned even deeper.

"what?"

Looking at Kiyoi's surprised eyes, Hirao began to get anxious.

It's not because he's afraid of being disgusted by the other party—because it's not "possible" and "definitely"—he's anxious about his clumsy words.

Beautiful, such simple words can't express his feelings for Qingju at all.However, no matter how many words you use, you can't convey your emotions.So in the end, I chose such a short and clumsy language, and I couldn't say anything else, just looking at the other party blindly.

Qingju frowned and said.

"You are too disgusting"

Just when Kiyoi said this, Hirao suddenly noticed something.

you.

……you.

…………you?

Speaking of which, Qingju has never called Hirara "Little P" before, right?

"It feels like you're going to commit murder one day"

Why have I never noticed such an important thing.Don't you hate that insulting nickname?But he has never been called by his name, maybe Qingju just simply doesn't want to call his name.Or just simply not aware of it.What is the reason?

While Hirao was thinking desperately, Kiyoi's mood became worse and worse.

"Are you listening to me?"

"Yes, listening. Sorry"

What the beautiful thin lips reveal is not "little p" but "you".Pingliang couldn't hide the joy in his heart.Maybe I look like I'm going to cry now.Qingju looked at himself with a disgusted expression.Then a voice came from behind.

"Qingju"

Turning around, the guys in the team headed by Shirota and a group of girls in yukata stood there.

"Awesome, the location here is perfect! Thank you, little p—"

Miki looked around and said that a girl in a yukata sat down noisily, "I'm exhausted from standing all the time."The yukata covered in purple roses looked tacky as hell.

"Qingju-kun, what did you do when you came back from the beach last time?"

The girl in the purple rose bathrobe asked. "All night at karaoke," Kiyoi replied. "Is that all?" The girls laughed.Ping Liang didn't know what they were talking about.Maybe they went to the beach together.

"It's still so hot in the evening, I want to eat shaved ice"

After the girls said that, Shirota and the others stood up. "Let's go to the store"

Kiyoi, who was surrounded by girls, also went together.The dreamlike time of the two of them ended like this.

Normally at this time, Hirao would always be sent to run errands, but it was also fun to stroll around the stalls while joking around, so Hirao was left to watch the place.There are always a family of three or couples passing by in front of me.

But he was alone, Hirashi felt a sense of loneliness.Therefore, Pingliang generally does not participate in this kind of rest day activities.But today is different.Hirao buried his face in his knees, and smiled back at Kiyoi just now.

——You, always stare at me

——You are too disgusting

Qingju noticed that she was looking at him.Although Kiyoi felt disgusted, which hurt Hirao a little, but he was able to notice himself, which made Hirao happy.Taira, who was always treated like air, felt that he had obtained a shining treasure just by doing so.

Is it miserable to think so?Is it disgusting?But it doesn't matter if no one understands me.This joy belongs only to myself.Everyone can't win.

——I also have the right to be happy.

Shout out.Hirara raised his head, and smacked his heart.Huge fireworks bloomed in the dark sky.There were cheers all around.

"Hey, squeeze a little bit"

Turning around, it turned out that everyone came back.Everyone was holding either shaved ice or yakisoba, etc. Hirara's stomach was rumbling.Although he ate the onigiri bought at the convenience store at noon, let's go buy something else to eat. Just as he was thinking this way, he stretched out shaved ice and Okonomiyaki at the same time.

"Eat?"

"Eat?"

The red shaved ice on the right was handed over by an unknown girl, and the Okonomiyaki on the left was handed over by Kiyoi.Hirao's eyes locked on the left.Did you buy it just for yourself?Ah, bad.My heart is going to explode.With a word of thanks stuck in his throat, Hirao stretched out his hand.

"Forget it. You take what the girl gave you."

"Eh, ah, but—"

"It's from the store, I can't eat it anymore. Does anyone want to eat?"

Kiyoi held up the Okonomiyaki, and Shirota and the others snatched it up in no time.

It was a gift—although I was a little disappointed, but I also took it for granted.But it was rare for Kiyoi to give himself something to eat—when Hirara was depressed, the right handed over the shaved ice again tremblingly.

"That, do you want to eat?"

"Ah, um, thank you"

Completely forgot about the existence of girls.When Hirara was about to take out his wallet, the girl said no.

"You are here alone to help occupy the seat."

"Um"

"It must be very hot. Thank you for your hard work."

gentle smile.Short neck-length black hair and glasses.It's different from those fashionable girls who have a good relationship with Shirota and the others.Why is such a simple girl here?

"Little P, do you know the restaurant at the intersection of Muxia Street?"

Shirota suddenly turned his face, and Hirao nodded.

"You take your place. Twelve people"

Nope.Pingliang complained in his heart.I came to take a seat in the morning, and now I have to go to the restaurant to take a seat.And he is now occupying an excellent position on the right side of Qingju.

"I'm sorry, Kurata will accompany you too."

The girl in the purple rose yukata clasped her hands together and begged.Kurata?Who is that?When Hirara was wondering, the girl on the right who shaved ice for him looked over.Ah... This child is at the bottom of the pyramid just like me.

"Isn't this your share?"

Qingju said in a low voice, and Hirao looked at him.Knowing that Hirashi was watching him, Kiyoi ignored him and looked up at the fireworks.What a cold word.And what a beautiful profile.

"...Well. Then I'll go."

Hirara replied with a volume that only Kiyoi could hear.

Not for anyone else, I only went for Qingju.

It doesn't matter if you get tanned to death just to occupy the position of the fireworks festival, your stomach growls from hunger, and you can't watch the beautiful fireworks in the night sky.In order to clear the house, he went to the restaurant to occupy a seat.

Qingju still pretended not to hear.Suppressing his urge to look at Kiyoi's beautiful side profile more, Hirara stood up, and Kurata also stood up.The two turned around and walked away.Kurata said suddenly while Hirao was eating shaved ice.

“Want to see more”

Very sorry voice.It would be great if I could go along with her raising her head and saying "yes" back and forth.But.

"I'll forget it"

Hearing Hirara's answer, Kurata tilted his head and asked.

"Do you hate fireworks?"

"No. But I have something better than fireworks"

Kurata hummed, with a puzzled expression on his face.Behind him, there was the distressing sound of fireworks blooming.
