Kasamatsu's black silk

I don’t know if it’s because Kasamatsu-san hasn’t recovered from my sudden appearance. The wrist I’m holding doesn’t struggle too much. The girls on the other side of the table didn’t respond at all. Even Kasamatsu-san The classmates from the same school around me also looked at us with similar dumbfounded expressions... Or rather, they watched me drag Kasamatsu-san out of the coffee shop.

Breaking away from the comfortable environment surrounded by air-conditioning, the hot air that makes people sweat instantly and the dazzling sunlight that makes people unable to open their eyes, my overheated brain finally calmed down.

Then, suddenly, I felt a little regretful.

You shouldn't do this, it's too impulsive, there are obviously other better ways to deal with it...

Perhaps it should be said that I took the worst course of action.

I stood at the door of the coffee shop, not knowing what to say, let alone what to do.

An embarrassing silence flowed in the air, I looked at the endless stream of pedestrians in front of me, and almost thought that the world was going to be silent like this forever, when suddenly a force grabbed my hand instead.

"Speak from another place."

When I passed by, Kasamatsu-san left this sentence in my ear. Although I subconsciously raised my head to catch up with Kasamatsu-san's figure with my eyes, what I captured was only the side face with unclear expression, and the following Leave me behind.

The positions are completely reversed.

When I walked out of the coffee shop, I was still pulling Kasamatsu-san's wrist, but now he is pulling me, step by step, through the gap between people, and move forward without hesitation.

Kasamatsu-san's palms are very big, and a layer of calluses from playing basketball rubs against the skin around my wrists. It's obviously not a delicate touch, but it still makes people feel very comfortable.

As long as Kasamatsu-san is holding hands, everything will be fine.

I looked away from the only part of our connection, and looked at Kasamatsu-san's back again.

Sure enough, in front of Kasamatsu-san's gentleness, the guilt in his heart became heavier.

I really don't quite understand how the scene in the coffee shop came about just now. The only thing I can confirm is that Kasamatsu-san didn't participate voluntarily, and even if I understand this, I still don't want Kasamatsu-san to have more contact with other opposite sex. Two o'clock.

But at the sorority party, someone who claimed to be his girlfriend suddenly appeared on the man's side, and took her away forcibly, so that others would think badly about this boy, right?

...I don't want Kasamatsu-san to get too close to other girls, and I don't want the person I like to be disliked.

I know that such thoughts are selfish and willful, but I can't change my thinking.

"Are you thinking of something weird again?"

"Eh?"

Kasamatsu-san in front obviously didn't turn his back, didn't turn his head to look at me, didn't even look at me, he couldn't see me at all, and I couldn't see him clearly, he seemed to see through me He spoke in a calm tone as if he was moving inwardly.

Excessive surprise made me unable to even refute for a while.

"...Anyway, you plan to apologize to me later, right?"

"No, no... that... I..."

"Don't apologize."

The pedestrian signal light at the intersection turned red, and we, who had been moving forward from just now, stopped for a while.

"Don't apologize if you don't feel regretful...or do you regret it?"

Do you regret it?Maybe there are some, considering the possibility that what I did would embarrass Kasamatsu-san's position, I really regret it, but if I don't do it, I probably also regret it, right?

Contradictory emotions rushed in my mind, and instead of answering his words immediately, I chose to hang my head behind him.

It is precisely because of this that I can hear every word he said so clearly in the noisy street.

"I'm kind of happy to be honest, so don't apologize."

For a moment, the heart seemed to be tightly grasped by someone. After the pain of being unable to breathe for a short period of time, what frantically surged out from the depths of the body was the heat that would burn all the blood in his body.

Happy……?

What is Kasamatsu-san happy about?

Is it because of something I did?Or is it because of a certain sentence?

The more I thought about it, the higher the temperature of my face rose. I opened my mouth and tried to say something, but faster than I was, it was the signal light across the road that changed from red to green.

The stagnant flow of people around me began to flow again, and Kasamatsu-san, who was walking in front of me, also started walking again.

No.

I don't know what's wrong, but the thought that suddenly emerged from my mind controlled my body, allowing my hands to move independently.

If I miss it now, I will definitely, forever lose the opportunity to say that sentence.

So I tried my best to grab Kasamatsu-san's hand.

"……Wait a moment……"

Plop plop.

Heartbeat becomes irregular.

Even my brain, it's not quite right.

I raised my head and tried my best to look into the eyes of Kasamatsu-san who finally looked back at me.

——The reflection there is only my reflection.

"What makes Kasamatsu-san happy?"

Startled by my question, Kasamatsu-san immediately blushed.

"What, what! Do you want to start asking here!?"

"Of course I have to ask! Kasamatsu-san didn't make it clear... You always say everything vaguely and don't make it clear. How can you understand such ambiguous words!"

"Huh?! Why am I vague... After all, you are too slow!"

"Where am I dull!"

"There is dullness everywhere!"

"That kind of thing is fine anyway!" Yes, it's fine anyway, and this is not what I care about now.The eagerness made me take a step forward, getting closer to Kasamatsu-san, "What exactly is it? What makes Kasamatsu-san happy? Didn't it make you feel unhappy? Don't you think I'm too selfish or too much? Not at all From the standpoint of Kasamatsu-san, I thought about it and did that kind of thing without authorization... Also, claiming to be Kasamatsu-san's girlfriend..."

"That's not what you call yourself."

Kasamatsu-san interrupted me.

His face was obviously still very red, not even inferior to the level when he was arguing with me. Both the base of his ears and his neck were dyed red, and his eyes also drifted in various directions unnaturally.

Even so, Kasamatsu-san's big hands still covered the top of my head, lowering my head a little bit. The subtle height difference made it impossible for me to see Kasamatsu-san's face at all.

"...Don't let my efforts yesterday turn into bubbles..."

yesterday.

Kasamatsu-san's words made the scenes that happened yesterday automatically replay before my eyes.

Including every movement, every word, every expression...and every kiss.

Kasamatsu-san was trying his best to convey something to me, and I was trying my best to convey the same thing to him.

"I'm working hard too!"

As I said unwillingly, Kasamatsu-san was silent for a while, and then burst out laughing.

"Don't compete in this kind of place, you."

My head was still being pressed by Kasamatsu-san's big palm, but I was really curious about his expression and struggled to raise my head, but was immediately pressed down again.Naturally, I wanted to resist, and reached out to pull Kasamatsu-san's hand that was pressing down on me. Unfortunately, he happened to withdraw his hand and go back, so I missed it.

"Today's training is over. Although I am a little sorry for Moriyama and the others, I don't plan to go back to participate in the fellowship... Ahem, anyway, the rest of the time is free. If you are fine, Nazu... Do you want to go somewhere to play together? ?”

Me and Kasamatsu-san?Where do we go to play together?

That is to say... a date?

"A date!? Is it a date!!"

"Don't yell on the main road, hey! No...it seems like we've been talking at high decibels since just now..." Kasamatsu-san looked around with an expression of belatedly realizing what the problem was, and finally sighed as if giving up. Tone, "No, that's right, it's that... dating... between couples... very, normal, right?"

Kasamatsu-san's face was blushing. To be honest, this look is so cute that people want to pounce on it and take a bite... No, no, no, Tachibana, hurry up and stop the terrible picture in your mind!Now it's broad daylight on the main road, and the focus is still in front of Kasamatsu-san!Hurry up and restrain yourself!

The uncontrollable joy was about to go berserk.

The date I mentioned on the phone with my friend just now is about to come true, it's almost like a dream.

"...Going? A date."

Seeing that I didn't answer for a long time, Kasamatsu-san asked again.

Although the answer to this question seems to me that there is no need to ask multiple times, because it can only be that one.

"Go!"

"That's a good answer."

Kasamatsu-san put on the captain's stance that only appeared when he was in the basketball club, but he quickly laughed. Although the suspicious redness on his face had not completely dissipated, he pulled his hands from mine, gently but firmly took my right hand.

"Where to go next?"

"Anywhere."

As long as I'm with Kasamatsu-san, it doesn't matter where I go.

The signal light that once turned green turned red again, and Kasamatsu-san and I stood at the intersection holding hands, quietly waiting for the next opportunity to move forward.

Standing around are people who have stopped, and further ahead, there is a cross-traffic traffic flow.

It's like being in a still time and watching the strange feeling of time flowing outside, which is so wonderful that I can't speak.

Subconsciously, I firmly grasped Kasamatsu-san's hand.

——Probably, it should be said that I hope that this time can stop forever, which is more appropriate.

Afterwards, our Kasamatsu-san's date was nothing more than, simply, holding hands and walking around the street.

We walked a lot of places hand in hand, because no one could think of any place we wanted to go, but it seemed a pity to go home like this, so we kept walking around until it got dark.

Then, looking at the completely darkened sky, none of us knew what to say.

Personally, I don't want to be separated from Kasamatsu-san yet.

In the end, it was Kasamatsu-san who broke the silence first.

"...Natsu, do you have access control?"

"Huh?" I didn't understand the motive of his question. I was stunned for a moment, but I answered truthfully, "My family has no restrictions on this aspect. If you go home late, you only need to make a phone call, so there are no special regulations on access control..."

"This, that's it, cough cough."

Kasamatsu's tone became unnatural. He clenched his fist and coughed a few times. Even under the cover of night, I was able to clearly see the redness on his face with the help of the light.

...I said, Kasamatsu-san, did you blush too many times today?

Although there are indeed too many developments that make people blush and heartbeat during this day, I probably have flushed cheeks a few times without a mirror or a chance to look in the mirror... Looking back at the details of the day, my thoughts are completely flying I went to a strange field that had nothing to do with the topic, and because of this, I was unable to make a judgment and answer with rational thinking in time after hearing the familiar line from Kasamatsu-san.

"...Well, do you want to go to my house next?"

My mind was full of thoughts of being with Kasamatsu-san for a second longer, so I answered without thinking——

"Well, I'm going."

……

…………

………………

What am I doing! Me! ! ! !

Sitting on the sofa in the living room of Kasamatsu-san’s house, I took advantage of the time when Kasamatsu-san was pouring tea, curled up with my head in my arms, and the emotions running wild inside me almost made me want to pull my hair uncontrollably impulse...

No, no, if I really pull my hair, such a bad and unattractive image will definitely make Kasamatsu-san dislike me.

My fingers let go of the strands of hair that had been rescued by the last sliver of rational thinking, and I sneaked a glance in the direction of the kitchen—Kasamatsu-san was taking out iced herbal tea from the refrigerator, completely oblivious to the strange situation on my side.

Very, very good.

The villain in my heart made a gesture of clenching his fists to cheer myself up, and I took a few deep breaths, trying to think and analyze the current situation while calming down my emotions.

This is the second time I have been invited to Kasamatsu-san's home.

The last time was just two days ago.It was raining that day, and Kasamatsu-san was depressed because he lost the game, so I naturally invited him to Kasamatsu-san's house as I wanted to comfort him and stay with him... The biggest difference from today is that we were still at that time Just a normal classmate relationship.

Moreover, in the end, there was an accident that is not very memorable...

I sat on the sofa, moved my eyes a little, and immediately saw the rug under the low table.

It was a little bit to the side, and I kissed Kasamatsu-san for the first time in a female-on-boy-down position.

Although a day later, that is, yesterday, I kissed Kasamatsu-san many times at my house, but the feeling was good, the impression was good, it was indeed something completely different.

Just remembering, his cheeks immediately became hot like fire.

Don't, don't think about it, Tachibana, Kasamatsu-san must have no other intentions. According to his personality, he probably just wants to chat with me and drink tea or something... Yes, that's right, it must be Such!If you think too much and worry too much, it will become worse on your own side!

"Why are you covering your face and talking to yourself in the corner of the sofa..." Kasamatsu came out of the kitchen holding a glass of herbal tea, and handed me one of them, "here .”

"Ah... thank you, thank you."

I habitually freed up both hands to catch the water glass. The moment our eyes met, Kasamatsu-san's calm expression suddenly changed a little.

"What's wrong? Your face turned red?"

"Huh? It's okay! It's just that it's hot!"

My rhetoric was obviously not convincing, Kasamatsu-san didn't even refute my words, she just ignored my excuses, and then asked: "Is it really all right? Could it be that the high fever has not subsided or something?"

"No! I'm really fine!" I tried my best to deny, "When I woke up today, the fever completely subsided, thanks to Kasamatsu-san's care yesterday... Anyway, anyway, I'm fine, don't worry!"

"……yes."

He accepted it lightly, and Kasamatsu-san didn't say anything more.

It seemed that this topic was over, I breathed a sigh of relief, turned my back slightly, and fanned my cheeks with my hands, hoping that it would cool down quickly, Kasamatsu-san's voice, which had paused for a moment, rang out again.

And the content of that sentence was undoubtedly a blockbuster to me who had not recovered my calm.

"When you came here the day before yesterday, you were very concerned about my room... Do you want to go up and see?"
