I Liked Her First, but My Brain Was Broken, Then for Some Reason, I Became Friends With Beautiful Girls, So I’m Done My With Childhood Friends
I have observed how people treat their friends, even though I had no friends of my own.
It seems that the closer friends are, the more casual they are in their skinship.
They would cross their shoulders, pat each other on the back, or pat each other on the head.
I envied them when I saw them laughing with each other in this way.
“Hm……”
I wanted Matsuyuki san, who was on the verge of tears, to regain her smile.
I stroked her head with this thought in mind.
“……”
I thought I knew it because I had seen it, but her hair is far smoother than I had imagined…
This feel so good that I became engrossed and continued stroking her head.
I almost got caught up in unnecessary thoughts such as how tiny her head is or how nice the shape is.
“…..Ah….”
As I continued to stroke her passionately, Matsuyuki san let out a sigh.
Matsuyuki san’s expression looked ticklish, but also calm, and I was convinced that patting her head had been effective after all.
I think I’ve seen a more violent way of stroking, but since I have no experience, this is the best I can do.
I’m not used to it, and my face is getting hot.
Is it time for me to let go? I’m sure Matsuyuki san is in a better mood now that she looks so comfortable.
“Ah….”
When I let go of the hand that was stroking her head, Matsuyuki san let out a sad voice.
“Fua….eh, ah, hyaa !?”
Finally, Matsuyuki san leans back and screams.
“Watch out.”
I had to stop her as soon as I could by holding her shoulders.
“～～!”
I was panicked, but Matsuyuki san must have been just as panicked. Her face was bright red and she was panicking.
I was glad that I hadn’t spilled my lunch. I straightened up and regained my composure.
“You see…..I started going to a boxing gym.”
Eh?”
If it’s a secret that makes your friends feel lonely, it’s better not to have it.
“If Matsuyuki san were to become enraged by her ex-boyfriend, I wouldn’t be able to protect her as I am now. So I wanted to become a little stronger so that she could feel at ease.”
“For my….sake?”
It is embarrassing to reveal a secret, as if you are exposing your weakness……
But even Matsuyuki san told me about her past, which should have been difficult to talk about.
As a friend, I wanted to be equal with her.
“I was planning to tell you after I had more clear results. Even if I told you now, nothing has changed and it would sound like I was lying… Plus, I wanted Matsuyuki san to be surprised by how much stronger I’ve become.”
The secret was just my vanity.
“I was actually planning to keep it a secret from Kido san, but it was an unfortunate accident…she found out. Yesterday she said she wanted to try it out, so I just showed her around.”
After saying all that, I take a breath.
This is what it’s like when you tell the whole story.
I treated Matsuyuki san as if she were an outsider because of something as trivial as this.
I must seriously reflect on this.
I do to others what I don’t like myself. I have to be careful about what I do to others, because it is the worst thing you can do, even if you are unaware of it.
“I see……”
Matsuyuki san muttered softly.
Perhaps she was taken aback because the reason was so insignificant.
“I’m sorry Matsuyuki san. I was being stubborn and made you feel lonely. I’ll make it up to you next time.”
“……”
Matsuyuki san’s big eyes stared at me.
I felt something like sex appeal and got nervous.
Muscles, don’t react now. I’m glad I’m becoming more manly, but I’m having a serious conversation right now.
“Gee……Hiro kun is hopeless.”
Matsuyuki san laughs at me.
The tears that had been pooling in my eyes spilled out in that beat. They were beautiful grains like pearls and enhanced her smile.
I shoved my hands into my pockets to wipe the tears away, but then I remembered that I had a handkerchief on my hip.
“Right back at you. I didn’t expect you to show such childish jealousy.”
“Waa…….!?”
I had no choice but to wipe away Matsuyuki san’s tears with my fingers.
She froze for a while, then seemed to restart and slapped me hard on the shoulder.
“H-H-H-Hiro-kun…enough. Enough, enough !”
“Are you a parrot?”
I was tapped on the shoulder again and again, perhaps in the heat of the moment.
But I knew it was a friendly body touch. I felt a little pain, but I was happy.
“Let’s eat ! Let’s eat quickly ! If we don’t hurry, our lunch break will be over !”
“I agree. Bon appétit !”
Matsuyuki san’s homemade bento was delicious.
When I told her that, she froze again. I thought she started to move and even tried to feed me her own side dish.
“Please open your mouth. Come on, you need to eat more or you won’t get bigger.”
“Wait, there’s still some in my mouth—mugu.”
Matsuyuki san teased me.
I thought that this was proof that she was doing well, and all in all, I found myself feeling relieved.
◇ ◇ ◇
Before the lunch break was over, we were going down the stairs to go back to the classroom.
“Matsuyuki san.”
We were approached by a boy.
“Yes? You are…….”
“I was just looking for Matsuyuki san. Could I have a little bit of your time?”
I was surprised to see the shy attitude of the boy who was scratching his head.
Could it be that this guy is planning to confess his feelings to Matsuyuki san now?
No, no, no, no, I’m standing right next to her.
My heart’s response was not going to reach him. He seemed to only see Matsuyuki san in his eyes.
