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!?~
──── Today is Christmas Eve.
It’s the day Makoto comes to my house for the first time and the day Makoto stays at my house for the first time.
Therefore, I went to Makoto’s house in the morning to pick Makoto up and was on my way to my house now with Makoto with her overnight baggage.
“I was nervous when Kakeru kun first came to my house, but now that I’m going to Kakeru kun’s house for the first time, I feel a different kind of nervousness.”
“Yes,…… I’m feeling a different kind of nervousness than usual too.”
Being alone at Makoto’s house has happened many times before, but I’ve never been alone with Makoto at my house, and in the first place, I didn’t think of Makoto as my friend….we’ve both gotten used to being in a space where we’re alone, but it feels different when we’re in a different place, and it’s my house.
Up until this point, there was a sense of tension that hadn’t been present for us lately, but Makoto held my hand in a lover’s hand and said,
” …… I’m also nervous, but more than that, I’m really happy to be able to go to Kakeru-kun’s house, and I’m also really happy that I get to spend this Christmas Eve alone with Kakeru-kun.”
“Yeah…… I feel the same way.”
As I said this, I strengthened my hold on Makoto’s hand a little bit.
After that, we didn’t say anything to each other for a little while, but Makoto looked away from me and said with a somewhat embarrassed look on her cheeks, which were flushed red.
“K-Kakeru-kun,…… today, umm…… night, what shall we do?”
If I had heard those words when I had assumed that I had to think of Makoto as a girl friend, I would have said, ”By night, do you mean dinner at night?” I might have said something stupid like that, but that’s not the case with me now.
I know exactly what Makoto is trying to tell me.
“Let’s …… sleep in bed together at night.”
“…… yeah….!”
It was a roundabout way of saying it, but Makoto seemed to understand my intentions, and she nodded loudly as she said that.
… Makoto’s cheeks are blushing with embarrassment right now, and I’m upset, and maybe I’m feeling a little embarrassed right now, too, but I try my best not to worry about that. I headed to my house with Makoto.
By the time we got to my house, once those feelings had calmed down, I was now feeling the nervousness of having Makoto up at my house for the first time.
“…… then, come on up.”
“Yes, I’m sorry to bother you!”
Makoto said a little happily as I brought her up to my doorstep.
“This house is very calm and relaxing, just like kakeru kun……I thought I would be more nervous, but when I thought that this is the house where Kakeru kun always spends his time, I was more glad to see the scene than nervous.”
“It is true that I was a little nervous too right before I brought Makoto home, but when I brought her home, I felt more relieved that she was at my house and happy to share this space with her than nervous.”
After saying this, we both gave a small laugh, and we both went into the living room together, forgetting our nervousness.
“Makoto can sit in the chair in the living room and wait for me while I make breakfast.”
Makoto stopped me as I was about to go into the kitchen, hugging me from behind and saying
“Wait! I’ll cook too! Can we cook together today?”
“Really? I thought that Makoto was a guest today, but …… if that’s what Makoto wants to do, then let’s do it.”
“Yay ……!”
I can hear Makoto’s happy voice from behind me,……, but one thing has been bothering me.
“If you just wanted to say that, you wouldn’t have bothered to hug me, but why are you hugging me?”
“That’s because I’ve always wanted to hug you, Kakeru-kun.”
As she said that, Makoto’s hugging me became even stronger.
“…. that’s what I want too, so let’s hug each other for five minutes and then we’ll cook.”
“Not enough, can we have ten minutes?”
“Ten minutes, twenty minutes, hours, whatever.”
──── After that, Makoto and I hugged each other as much as we wanted and then we both started cooking together.
[TLN : The sweetness….it burns!!]
