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!?~
──── winter break has arrived and the world is already in a Christmas mood.
Even though the world is in the mood for Christmas, me and Makoto, who have become lovers, are no exception to this world. Today, at Makoto’s invitation, we came to a department store to decide what we would like for our Christmas cake.
And now we are walking arm in arm, looking around the stores that line the department store.
“We looked at various cakes, but what do you want to eat for Christmas cake, Kakeru kun?”
“Just the one Makoto wants to eat.”
“What I want to eat is what you want to eat, so you choose.”
“What I want to eat is what Makoto wants to eat, so Makoto can choose.”
We laughed at each other saying the same thing.
“Mouu! You’re so quick to say things like that, Kakeru kun.”
“Makoto is the same way.”
“I’m glad you feel that way, but this isn’t going to get us anywhere, so why don’t we go to a place where we can relax and talk about what kind of cake we want to eat together?”
“Let’s do that.”
So, Makoto and I decided to leave the department store once and look for a place where we can relax.
We came here in the evening, but it was nighttime by now, and the area was illuminated.
“The lights are beautiful, aren’t they?”
“Yes, it is.”
As we were looking at the illumination, there was a flowerbed on the street, and there was a bench in front of the flowerbed, so Makoto and I sat next to each other there.
It’s a little far from the street of the department store, so we can talk calmly here because there are less people passing by.
I looked at the illumination and said
“Until now, when I looked at the illumination, I only thought it was beautiful and shiny, but now that Makoto is next to me, the illumination is shining brighter than ever.”
When I said that, Makoto tightened her grip on me and pulled my body closer to hers.
“I, too, think the illumination looks many times more beautiful when I’m looking at it with Kakeru-kun than it ever has before,…… but,──── I’m more fascinated with Makoto-kun than I am with the illumination.”
Saying that, Makoto leaned her head on my shoulder.
“If you say it like that, so would I. I’d rather look at Makoto than at the illuminations.”
“Fufu, we’re outside, so you can’t kiss me on the cheek or anything, okay?”
“Is it okay if we’re at home?”
When I asked her that, Makoto said, her cheeks flushing red.
“You can do as much as you want at home. …… I’ll do a lot of it too.”
After a few moments of feeling only each other’s warmth, Makoto said
“We haven’t talked about Christmas cake, have we?”
“Well,…… we’re spending Christmas Eve at my place, right?”
“Yeah.”
I’m a little nervous about …… inviting Makoto to my house for the first time, but more than that, I’m looking forward to it.
I’m thinking about that, Makoto said in a sweet voice.
“….. is it okay if I stay over at Kakeru kun’s house on Christmas Eve?”
“Oh, sure.”
“Thank you… Kakeru-kun, I’ve been thinking about it lately, but I really love you…The reason I invited you out today to decide on a Christmas cake is that I just want to be with you. …As long as I can eat Christmas cake with Kakeru-kun, I don’t mind anything.”
“If you bring it up, I’ll be like that too…If I can be with Makoto, I don’t need Christmas cake.”
While saying that, we naturally hugged each other and brought our faces closer.
“Kakeru……”
“Makoto……”
Then, just before our lips were about to overlap──── me and Makoto stopped moving at the same time, Makoto said.
“……We’ll continue this at Christmas, okay?”
“…..Oh, let’s do that.”
We decided to, and held each other under the lights for a while.
────I really, really love Makoto.
