I Saw My Female Friend, a Beautiful and Neat Girl, Holding a Romance Book Titled “How to Get Your Male Friend to Like You” and Decided to Give Advice on Love~ In Fact, the Guy She Likes Seems to Be Me!?~
Saturday and Sunday, when I stayed at Makoto’s house, are over and it’s another week of school starting today ……, but the mornings starting today are very different from the mornings of the past week.
I opened the chat screen with Makoto on my phone and sent her a message.
“I’m on my way over there right now.”
“Yeah, I’m ready to go too!”
Until now, if we talked in the morning, it was in the classroom at school, but from today we will be going to school together.
This also represents a significant change in our relationship.
I head to Makoto’s house as I messaged her, and after about ten minutes I arrive at Makoto’s house and ring the intercom.
“Kakeru-kun! Good morning!”
Makoto opened the door and when she saw me, she hugged me vigorously and said so.
I was a little surprised at the suddenness of the hug, but I hugged Makoto back and said
“Good morning, Makoto,……, you’ve been very aggressive this morning.”
“Ever since Kakeru-kun went home yesterday, I’ve been wanting to do this with Kakeru-kun.”
“…… then it can’t be helped.”
“Yes, I can’t help it. …… can I do this for a little while?”
“Yeah.”
After that, we stayed like that for a while and then it was time to head to school or else we would be late, so we stopped hugging each other and walked to school,……, even though we wanted to hug each other more. We proceeded… And then, Makoto let out a white sigh and said.
“It is already December, so it’s pretty cold.”
“I guess so.”
After a few moments of silence, Makoto’s cheeks flushed red and she put her right hand close to my left hand.
“…… Can I hold your hand?”
“……yeah.”
Makoto and I put our cold hands on each other and held hands like lovers.
Just by holding hands with Makoto, I felt like the cold was gone all at once.
“It’s warm.”
“Yeah, it’s warm. ……”
When the two of us were quietly enjoying the warmth together for a while, Makoto opened her mouth and said
“I’m looking forward to winter break.”
“I’m looking forward to it…Will you come to my house when winter vacation comes?”
“Eh,…… Kakeru-kun’s house!?”
Makoto looked surprised for a moment, but immediately nodded broadly and said.
“I-I want to go to your house!”
“I see, then let’s play at my house during the winter break.”
When I said that, Makoto smiled happily.
After that, we went to school talking lightly about what we wanted to do during winter break, and eventually at lunchtime we headed to the rooftop to have lunch together again today.
──── And one thing changed at lunch as well.
“Kakeru-kun, you didn’t accidentally make your lunch, right? I made it for you, so it’s good that we can spend time together so you can eat your lunch.”
“If you didn’t make it, and even if I didn’t have a reason to make it, I’d still want to spend time with Makoto.”
“…Mouu! You can’t do that, Kakeru-kun, if you say things like that, I won’t be able to stand it even at school!”
“This is the rooftop, so no one’s watching.”
“…… then ────”
Makoto kissed my left cheek for a moment and said with a reddish blush on her cheek.
“I-I’ll stick with this!”
I kissed Makoto’s left cheek for a moment as she said that.
“K-Kakeru-kun!?”
“I kissed Makoto first.”
“….Mouu~!”
After that, we ate the lunch that Makoto made for us with Makoto who seemed to be happy while saying many things.
I was made to realize once again that all the food Makoto made for me was delicious.
As I was feeling this way, Makoto put her right hand on my face.
“….. Makoto?”
“I like your face when you are eating delicious food, when you are smiling sometimes, when you are embarrassed, I like all of them. ……I want to see more things about you.”
“……I’m sure you’ll be able to see them as we spend more time together.”
“Yes,……, show me a lot.”
Makoto said this as she smiled gently at me.
“Makoto, you look so sweet and very nice.”
“Ka, kakeru kun…..!”
After that, Makoto’s expression, which had been gently smiling at me, changed to one of embarrassment with her cheeks flushed red.
From now on we’re going to see expressions and aspects of each other that we haven’t seen yet,──── and every time we see them, we’re going to like each other more and more.
Just thinking about it made the corners of my mouth turn up involuntarily.
