“I just can’t settle down…”
That night, back in my room, I lay on my bed but couldn’t calm down—my heart was racing, and I was so happy I kept tossing and turning, shifting positions over and over.
It was the first time I’d ever felt this restless, and it was kind of strange.
Kana and Saki had both said they felt this way when they started dating Seito, but now I totally get it.
After dinner, Seito walked me home and we said goodbye, but I already found myself wanting to see him again.
Plus, right in front of my house, Seito said “See you,” then kissed me one more time. My heart raced again, and he looked even cooler than usual.
Seito’s the first guy I’ve ever thought was cool, and by cool, I don’t just mean his face—his personality is just as cool. That’s actually what made me start noticing him in the first place.
I’m not the type to fall for someone just because they’re good-looking. Honestly, I’d seen Seito back in middle school, but I didn’t think anything of him then.
I’m sure I’m not the only one. Otherwise, we would’ve been interested in Seito since middle school, right?
Looking back now, I realize I actually started thinking Seito was cool suddenly… just like that, suddenly, after the day he saved me. I’d never felt that way even seeing super popular male idols in Japan. Of course, it was my first time experiencing something like this, so I unconsciously tried to convince myself it was just my imagination.
Even so, I never imagined I could even like someone of the opposite sex. If the me from just a little while ago knew I’d end up with a boyfriend, I absolutely wouldn’t have believed it… And if I hadn’t met Seito, I’d probably still be scared of the past and wouldn’t even try to be friends with guys…
I don’t usually imagine pointless “what if” scenarios like this, but today I felt lightheaded and found myself thinking about it.
(Beep, beep)
Just then, my phone by my pillow buzzed. I checked it, and the call started.
“Miku nee!! Congratulations!!!!!”
“Congratulations, Miku-chan!”
We often chat in a group with all four of us, including Seito, but of course, there’s also a group just for the three girls. This time, the message came from that one.
“Thank you, both of you.”
“From now on, let’s hang out together as the four of us way more often!!! There are so many places we want to go, let’s make even more memories and stay together forever!!!”
“Hehe, Kana-chan, how far ahead are you thinking? But yeah, I feel the same way.”
“Right?! Miku-nee feels that way too, right?”
“I don’t know about the future, but yeah… I do hope it turns out that way.”
“Hehe! So we all feel the same way then!!”
Kana said that, and Saki replied with a thoughtful expression.
“Yeah. But it’s kind of strange… Just a little while ago, none of us could have imagined any of us getting boyfriends, and yet in just these past few months, we all did… And with the same person, too.”
Not just a few months, but two or three months. Of course, I felt the same way.
“Yeah… I’m surprised too.”
“Well… that’s probably true. Compared to the two of you, I had quite a few guy friends, but I never once thought ‘I like him!’ even a little bit. I guess that shows how much of a presence Seito-senpai has become for us.”
“If we’re talking about that, it was instant for Kana, right? Right after she told us she talked to Seito, the way she looked at him changed completely…”
“That’s true, but then again, Miku-nee was like that too, right? After Seito-senpai helped her, she suddenly started talking to him happily!! She just didn’t realize it herself, but she must have started caring about Seito-senpai right then, right?”
Back then, I unconsciously dismissed that possibility, but now that I understand that’s how it was, I can’t deny it…
“W-well… I guess so?”
“Both of you became friends with Seito-kun before I did, after all.”
“Actually, if we’re talking about it being obvious, Saki-nee was the clearest example! Saki-nee started blatantly following Seito-senpai with her eyes the very next day after he saved her!! Miku-nee was like that too, but Saki-nee was even more extreme.”
“Yeah, that might be true.”
“N-no, that’s not—”
““It is! (It is!)””
Saki was about to say it wasn’t true, but Kana and I said it at the same time.
I don’t know about myself, but there’s no doubt Saki was watching Seito.
“””Hahaha!”””
After that conversation, we all started laughing at the same time, finding it somehow funny.
“Well, yeah. I guess it just shows how amazing Seito was, right? That’s exactly what happened.”
“That’s true. I don’t need to hide it, so I’ll admit it—my moment was real. Seito-senpai is the coolest guy in the world.”
“Then I’m the same. Ever since he said he’d help me anytime, my heart hasn’t stopped racing.”
After a few seconds of silence, Kana spoke up.
“Anyway, both of you, let’s stay close forever!!! And to make sure Seito-senpai doesn’t go anywhere else, let’s love him with all our might! Well, I can totally tell Seito-senpai loves us so much, so I’m not really worried about that!!”
“Hehehe, yeah. That worry seems totally unnecessary. Miku-chan and I just started dating, so it’s not quite like Kana-chan’s situation, but we really do treasure Kana-chan.”
“That’s true… When you two first started dating, you were so lovey-dovey even when we were around, it was kind of embarrassing…”
“Hahaha, sorry about that. I just couldn’t control myself. But you know, even if you two say that, it’s obvious to me that Seito-senpai really likes you both, and I think you’ll realize it soon enough!!!”
Well, seeing Seito’s eyes today, I kind of figured that already, and I wasn’t really worried about it anyway, but hearing Kana say that does put my mind at ease.
“Thanks, Kana-chan!”
“Yeah, thanks, Kana.”
“Ehehe, and besides, you two will probably do naughty things too, just like me and Seito-senpai!!!”
To us, who were feeling a bit moved, Kana suddenly started goofing around and said something like that.
“Wh-what, Kana-chan!?”
“Wh-what are you suddenly saying…?”
“What do you mean? It means exactly what it says. You two are girlfriends too, so that time will definitely come! If I don’t say it, you’ll just think it’s too soon and avoid thinking about it, right? So, since I’ve already experienced it, I have to tell you! You two don’t actually not want to do that kind of thing, do you? My first time was on my birthday too, and we hadn’t even been dating a month! Anyway, all three of us are Seito-senpai’s girlfriends, so there’s nothing embarrassing about it, right?”
It was sudden and surprising, but she wasn’t entirely wrong.
She’s usually the most childish one, so why does she act so mature only at times like this…
Personally, I do think a month into dating might be a bit early… but if it’s with Seito… Thinking about it that way, I don’t exactly not want to either… No, if I set aside the embarrassment, I might actually want it a lot… Or rather, if Seito wants to, anytime is fine…
As I thought about this, I started feeling hot, probably from embarrassment.
“W-well, that might be true, but…what about you, Saki?”
I was a bit embarrassed to talk about myself, so I passed the buck to Saki. She looked embarrassed too, but she said it.
“I-I…w-with Seito-kun…I-I might want to…”
“Right? Miku-nee, you don’t feel the same?”
“…I-I…feel the same too…”
When Kana asked me that, I said so.
Of course, I was embarrassed, but since Saki said it, I couldn’t very well not say it too…
“Hahaha, well, I said it first, but I was just teasing!! Anyway, you two have your own pace for that sort of thing, I just wanted to hear how you both felt personally!!! Sorry for saying weird stuff when you two just started dating!!”
Sensing the slightly awkward atmosphere between Saki and me, Kana spoke up next.
“I-it’s fine… S-someday we’d have to think about it anyway… Honestly, having Kana bring it up made it easier to be conscious of it than if I’d had to think about it alone…”
“Y-yeah… I guess I feel the same way…”
This was genuinely what I thought.
Given my and Saki’s personalities, it would’ve been really hard for us to even consciously think about that kind of thing. Even if it was Kana, we probably would’ve been too embarrassed to talk about it… As a result, there was a chance we wouldn’t have done anything ourselves and just left it all up to Seito. So, her saying it now made it easier for both me and Saki to picture that scenario.
I don’t know how much thought Kana put into this comment, but she really does understand us well… I felt that again.
As I was thinking about that, Kana spoke again.
“Well, you don’t have to think about it that seriously!! Once you do it once, the second time and beyond will just be the best time ever!! It’s not like you won’t be nervous at all after the first time, but the big nerves are only the first time!!! So, both of you, fight!!!!!”
Take that back… That was totally unnecessary, Kana… You didn’t need to say that… You should’ve stopped right there…
Even thinking that, I said:
“I-I get it already, so shut up, Kana!! More importantly, it’s almost bedtime, so I’m ending this call!!!”
“Y-Yeah, Kana-chan!! You didn’t need to say that!!! I’m going to bed too, see you tomorrow!!!”
“Ehehe, good night, you two!!! See you tomorrow!!!”
And so, we ended the call.
“Haa… Seito and stuff…”
Thinking about it still makes me embarrassed… But I want to get closer like Kana does, and I am interested too.
And if it’s what Seito wants, I want to give him an answer…
…Just started dating today and already thinking about stuff like this…
“Fine, whatever… Let’s just sleep for now…”
I said that, turned off the light, and burrowed under the covers, but I ended up thinking about it anyway and couldn’t sleep at all after that.
