The Gal Next to Me Is Trying Too Hard to Make Me Fall in Love With Her
It’s been almost three minutes since Amagi sat on my lap.
During that time, she hasn’t done anything to me.
She doesn’t move or talk, just stares at me.
Tick, tick, tick… The sound of the clock’s hands is unusually loud.
Amagi, who is usually so noisy, is so quiet that it makes me feel strangely tense.
“Um…”
“Hm?”
“No, it’s just…”
“…You’re wondering why I’m not talking, aren’t you?”
I nod.
She raises the corners of her mouth mischievously and lightly teases my ear with her supple fingers.
It tickles and feels hot.
“I was looking at your face… Saeki’s face.”
“Oh, is it interesting…?”
“Of course it’s interesting. The face you make when I’m riding you and you’re tense, the face you make when you’re expecting me to praise you, the face you make when you’re confused because I’m not talking… I love them all♡”
I’m being toyed with.
I’m being teased.
But I don’t feel bad about it, which is a problem.
The heat from the tension and closeness makes sweat bead on my forehead. It trickles down my cheeks and drips from my chin.
It falls onto Amagi-san’s camisole and soaks in slowly.
The gray fabric turns black.
The contrast with the healthy white chest that boldly asserts itself makes me swallow hard.
“…Are you interested in my breasts?”
“Huh!? No, no!! I’m sorry!!”
“You don’t have to apologize. I’m dressed like this because I want Saeki to see me. Besides…if you don’t look, I’ll be in trouble.”
Permission was granted.
That relaxation of my guard caused my gaze to fall downward again.
They were big, beautiful, and erotic. I couldn’t help but stare, unable to think of anything else.
“Want to touch them?”
“Yes… no, wait, no!! I won’t touch them!!”
“Hehehe♡ You’re showing your true feelings♡”
This is bad, this is bad.
For a moment, my teenage brain took over.
Calm down, me.
If I touch it on my own will, that’s definitely out of bounds. Are you going to give up this life by giving in to your sexual desires?
“Saeki is so amazing.”
She said that while gently patting my head.
“You’re willing to endure hardships for the sake of living alone. I couldn’t do that.”
“Well, that’s because my current life is comfortable…”
“You study hard, work part-time, and do housework. You’re really amazing. You’re so great!”
She patted me on the head. Good boy.
This time, she stroked me gently and narrowed her eyes, which were the color of the morning sun.
After that, Amagi-san continued to praise me, saying that tonight’s dinner was delicious and amazing, and that I was great for keeping my room clean.
It’s nice. Of course, I think so.
But there’s a sense of unease, or rather, a feeling of guilt swirling in my stomach, wondering if I deserve such praise.
“…But you’re in the same situation, aren’t you?”
The words slipped out unintentionally.
“Actually, you’re definitely going through more than me. You’re achieving results in your studies that are far beyond mine. You’re also earning all your living expenses on your own. On top of that, you’re taking the time to look after me. I really think that’s amazing…”
I can’t even begin to imagine the sacrifices she’s made for her dreams, or the time and effort she’s invested.
While she laughs as if she’s not thinking about anything, she’s living each day with all her might.
I’m sure I couldn’t even begin to imitate her, even if I were reborn.
“Ugh… no, no! Don’t catch me off guard! I’m the one praising you!”
Angry, but smiling.
She ruffled my hair.
With that carefree expression, she grabbed my bangs with both hands and pulled them up.
“The way you naturally compliment others is really amazing! I was so happy during lunch today!”
“Lunch?”
“My friend was teasing me about not making any money as a model! It was supposed to be a joke about me, but Saeki didn’t go along with it! I could never do that!”
“I guess so… I just said it because I thought it was amazing…”
“Not everyone can do that! I really like you! Thank you!!”
“Um… you’re welcome?”
I didn’t quite understand what part of my comment had struck a chord, but I replied anyway.
Amagi looked down at me with teary eyes. She pressed her nose against my neck, rubbing it as if marking her territory.
“…Pet me.”
“Huh?”
“I petted Saeki a lot! It’s unfair if you don’t do the same for me!”
She raised her voice while burying her face in my neck.
I thought, “It’s not unfair, you did it on your own…” but I didn’t say it out loud.
“Then, excuse me…”
When was the last time I touched the hair of someone other than my sister or younger sister?
It was moist and smooth, completely different from a man’s hair.
My palm felt comfortable.
As I enjoyed the sensation, I noticed that Amagi-san’s breathing was getting heavier and heavier. I couldn’t see her face, but it perfectly expressed her emotions.
“…Cute…”
I couldn’t help but let my inner voice slip out.
“Oh no…” I covered my mouth with my hand.
But it was too late.
There was no way she couldn’t hear me at this distance, and she looked up at me with a start. Her eyes were filled with joy and shone with an unusual brilliance.
“Did you just say I’m cute!? Did you say I’m cute!?”
“No, no…”
“Say it again!! Say it again!!”
“…………”
“I’ve praised you so much, Saeki! You should praise me too, shouldn’t you!?”
Her eyes said she wouldn’t forgive me unless I said it.
What I said earlier was just something that slipped out without thinking.
I’m not the kind of person who can say such things to the opposite sex face-to-face.
“…”
I held my breath, let my gaze drift to the ceiling, then returned it to Amagi-san.
Her expression was filled with expectation.
Her eyes were like those of a child facing a present.
…There’s no helping it.
I’ll just have to bite the bullet.
“You’re… cute…”
It was the first time in my life that I had consciously said such words to someone of the opposite sex.
My face flushed, and I couldn’t look Amagi-san in the eye because I was so embarrassed.
But I could easily imagine her happy face, and that made me even more flustered.
“What about me is cute?”
“…Your mannerisms, maybe?”
“My face?”
“I-It’s cute!”
“Yay! ♡ Hehehehe! ♡”
She’s cute.
Especially when she smiles.
She’s as bright as the summer sun, as vibrant as a hibiscus, as innocent as a golden retriever, and I could watch her forever.
“Say it again, ‘You’re cute’!”
“Okay, okay…”
“Say it while petting me!”
“Alright, I understand.”
“Hehe♡ Saeki, I love you♡”
I repeat “cute, cute” while petting her
Every time I say it, every time I pet her, Amagi writhes in pleasure.
However, perhaps becoming accustomed to the stimulation, her bright, shining eyes gradually calmed down and instead began to take on a seductive heat.
“Stroke my back too?”
“…Ah, yes.”
“Squeeze my hands too?”
“Eh, um…”
“Am I cute?”
“…You’re cute.”
The camisole was short, leaving her back exposed.
It was slightly sweaty, but the air conditioner was blowing on it, cooling it down.
I moved my hand as if to wipe away the sweat, and with the other hand, I took Amagi’s wrist.
However, she brushed my hand away as if to say that wasn’t what she wanted, and instead, she intertwined her fingers with mine somewhat forcefully.
“This… isn’t this… wrong?”
“…Where? We’re just complimenting each other, aren’t we?”
“Just doing that… No, I mean…”
“We’re just doing normal things, so what are you thinking, Saeki?”
Her slender, beautiful hand touched my cheek.
She scooped up a drop of sweat with her fingertips and brought it to her mouth.
She licked it.
Without hesitation, as if to show off.
“Ahh♡ It’s salty♡”
A devilish voice.
A moist gaze.
What is this? This overwhelming sense of guilt…
I didn’t make her do it.
Yet, the feeling that I had defiled Amagi-san was suffocating me. I felt deeply sorry.
And above all,
there was also a part of me that felt happy. A sense of accomplishment had sprouted in my chest.
To put it bluntly… something was making my heart race so wildly, it was almost ridiculous.
“Um, Saeki…”
“Yes…?”
“…Do you notice?”
“What?”
“No, I mean…”
Amagi blushed beautifully, yet somehow innocently.
She pointed downwards and smiled.
“It’s been hard since a while ago…”
“～～～～～～～～～!!”
I understood the meaning of her words in an instant and pushed Amagi away, rolling into the corner of the room.
I immediately shifted into a kneeling position.
Without considering the inconvenience to the residents below, I slammed my forehead onto the floor.
“I’m so sorry!! I’m really sorry, what have I done…!!”
“Ah, ahaha… It can’t be helped. You’re a boy, after all.”
I couldn’t see her face, but there was no trace of anger in her voice.
I timidly raised my gaze.
Amagi’s face was bright red, but she was smiling happily.
Her white teeth shone brightly.
“…If you liked it that much, would you like me to lick you again?”
“No, thank you!”
I remained crouched down for a while, unable to move.
◆
After a while, I returned to my room.
I turned on the TV, lay down on my bed, and stared blankly at the screen.
Even though it was my favorite show and my favorite celebrity was on it, I couldn’t concentrate on the content. What had happened just a moment ago kept flashing through my mind.
“Saeki’s… it had gotten bigger…”
I muttered to myself, then rolled around on my right and left sides, exclaiming, “Uhyaaa~!!”
“That means he was conscious of me♡ I’m so happy♡ But it’s a little scary♡ Hehe, hehehe♡ What is this feeling♡♡♡ It’s weird♡♡♡”
She fell off the bed and hit her head with a thud.
She lay there in silence, struggling, then took a breath once she calmed down.
She touched the spot where his body had been touching hers and curled up.
“…!”
Her love overflowed.
Her love grew even more intense.
She was happy, scared, and that’s why she loved him.
There was nothing she could do about it.
Her body ached.
