The S**ttiest Gyaru in the Class Confessed to Me
Ichika didn’t answer.
Fireworks continued to explode one after another.
But we remained silent.
Ichika repeatedly clasped her hands together as if rubbing them.
(Did I mess up?)
Thinking that made my chest feel tight.
But then, the biggest firework exploded with a loud boom, and the area fell silent in its aftermath.
Suddenly,
Ichika pressed her lips against mine.
They were soft, sweet, and warm.
She kept pressing her lips against mine, like a bird pecking, over and over.
Each time, my cheeks were wet with Ichika’s tears.
Eventually, she seemed to calm down a bit.
Ichika pulled away from me.
“You know. I also l-l…….. Haa, haa. L…”
Ichika clenched her fist tightly against her chest.
“L…I’m sorry. I can’t say it properly.”
Today, Ichika didn’t try to rephrase it with other words.
I’m the one who’s sorry.
I ended up rushing her.
But I want to hear this.
“…So, what’s your answer to my confession?”
Ichika looked down shyly.
“Of course. It’s obviously YES.”
I placed my hands over hers and nodded.
My chest felt warm.
Ichika is my girlfriend, so this was just a confirmation. But that ‘YES’ made me happier than I could have imagined.
“Thank goodness. Oh, did we kiss? We haven’t even been together for three months yet.”
“I was so happy, my feelings overflowed. I wanted to kiss Sou kun.”
When the happy feelings settled, I asked. After all, these two young people, so full of energy, are going to sleep in the same bed from now on?
A man and a woman spending the night together.
What they’ll do is obvious, isn’t it?
“Maybe we should buy condoms on the way home?”
I was apparently grinning like an idiot.
Ikka pinched my cheek.
“Don’t get too excited ! Besides, we don’t need condoms.”
Is that the pill I heard about from Ai before?
She was already taking it before she met me.
…It’s a bit complicated.
“Are you taking the pill?”
Ichika shook her head.
“No, I’m not. After I started dating Sou kun, I read about the side effects and stuff. It said that it increases the risk of cancer and other diseases, and makes you more prone to spots.”
“Hm.”
“I wanna be with Sou forever, and I want him to think I’m cute forever, so I stopped taking them. My period pains got better after I started getting massages.”
“Then why is it okay without a condom?”
“I want Sou kun’s baby.”
This is a serious responsibility.
I can’t just push her down like that.
Then, Ichika continued.
“No, usually it’s okay to do it outside, but if it happens, I’d be happy.”
Her expression was strangely vivid.
“Ichika, can I kiss you? Or rather, can I give you a peck?”
Then, Ichika nodded.
“Of course. I’m your girlfriend.”
When we returned to the inn, the owner had prepared a light meal for us. This inn is small and has a homey atmosphere.
As we were eating sandwiches, the owner, who was working at the kitchen counter, asked,
“How was the fireworks festival?”
Ichika and I exchanged glances.
There were so many things that happened, to be honest, I don’t remember much.
But I do have some thoughts.
“It was the best fireworks festival ever.”
“That’s good.”
The owner smiled.
“Yeah, it was good♪”
I felt something off about Ikka’s voice. It was unusually bright.
Ichika was humming a tune while munching on pound cake.
Huh?
I could smell brandy drifting over to me.
“Owner, what’s this?”
“That’s our homemade brandy cake. It’s our pride and joy dessert. Maybe it was a bit too strong for a high school student?”
“No, it’s okay…”
Ichika was swaying.
This person must be sensitive to alcohol.
I supported Ichika’s arm and took her back to the room.
Once inside, I laid Ichika on the bed.
When I stood up to take a shower, Ikka grabbed my sleeve.
“It’s unfair for you to take a shower alone.”
“Eh?”
“I wanna stay like this. Hurry up and give it to me♡”
Come on.
If you keep teasing me like that, I’ll lose my mind.
“Are you sure?”
“Yeah. Hurry up…”
I kissed her.
Her lips were a little warmer than before.
But when I pulled away,
“Zzz, zzz.”
Ichika was asleep.
(She really has such a cute sleeping face.)
Today was tough.
I’m tired too. Maybe I’ll go to sleep.
When I got into bed, Ichika snuggled up to me. Even though she was unconscious, she had her head resting on my arm.
For the first time in my life, a girl was sleeping in my arms. A pillow made of my arm…it’s heavier than I thought.
When I lifted my face slightly, Ichika’s chest was exposed, revealing her cleavage.
(Should I touch it…but no, I don’t want to wake her up.)
I struggled with myself for a while, but Ika’s body heat felt so good that I fell asleep without realizing it.
…Hm.
Something tickled me and woke me up.
Ichika’s breath was on my face.
It seemed that Ika had woken up first.
It was hard to open my eyes.
I decided to just lie there and observe the situation.
“Sou kun. Are you awake?”
“……”
Then, Ichika moved toward my hand.
She was stroking the back of my left hand.
Ichika, you like stroking my hand’s wound, don’t you?
“Pain, pain, fly away♪”
Ichika said.
Her tone seemed gentler than usual.
Maybe she was worried about the wound on my hand.
Now she was touching the palm of my hand.
It felt ticklish when she touched it.
Ichika was poking the palm of my hand with her fingertips.
Ichika started writing something on my hand.
It reminded me of the message game we used to play as children, where we wrote messages on each other’s palms.
I concentrated on my palm.
A picture?
No, it’s letters.
This is…katakana, maybe.
“Li.”
Ichika moved her fingertips away and wrote another letter on my palm.
“Ke.”
To me, it looked like those four letters.
After a while, Ichika got out of bed. She rummaged through her luggage and took something out. When she came back, she wrote something else on my palm.
Something cold and metallic touched my skin. It seemed she was writing with a pen this time.
Did she write “Like” again?
I’m looking forward to seeing my palm tomorrow.
I got very sleepy and fell asleep as I was.
Hm…
Is it morning already?
I woke up and immediately looked at my palm.
Yesterday’s was indeed a character.
I read it aloud.
It was five katakana characters.
A message she had written for me.
“Coward.”
………..
It was a little different from what I had expected.
