“Ow !?”
“Hey, are you okay?”
While playing basketball in PE, my finger sprained. I failed to catch a pass from an ally and ended up in this mess.
“You’ve been in a daze all morning, what the hell is wrong with you?”
“You’ve been distracted all morning.”
“Did you pick up something strange and eat it by any chance?”
“It’s nothing, don’t worry about it.”
I said this while extending my index finger to Kenji, Sho, and Kaito who came to talk to me after the match. I can’t say that this is happening because of Kano san’s confession.
“There must have been something that made Yuito react like that.”
“Oh come on, you’re trying to hide something from us, don’t be reserved.”
“That’s right, you should just let it all out and get comfortable right now.”
The three of them were pressing me closer and closer.
“I’m going to the infirmary for now and we’ll talk about it later.”
The atmosphere was so sluggish that I felt like I was about to be interrogated at any moment, so I left the gym as if to escape.
Honestly, I don’t feel like taking PE class anymore today, so I’ll just slack off in the nurse’s room until the chime goes off. As I was walking with these thoughts in mind, I encountered a familiar face in front of the entrance to the infirmary.
“Hm, Yuito kun. Are you injured by any chance?”
“Ah, actually, I was playing basketball in PE and my finger got sprained. What about you, Suzuno?”
“My index finger got burned by a frying pan during cooking practice.”
After saying that, Suzuno showed me her right index finger. It’s a little red and swollen, but it doesn’t seem to be a serious injury.
“It was a disaster for both of us.”
“Yuito kun, as you know, I have always been a bit clumsy.”
The word [clumsy]really fits Suzuno well. It’s a real contrast to Kano san, who is composed. Thinking about this, we went into the infirmary.
“Looks like there’s no teacher in the nurse’s room.”
“Maybe she’s out somewhere on an errand or something.”
I looked around the infirmary, but the school nurse was nowhere to be seen. I took out some taping tape and scratch power pads from the shelf.
“Even if we wait, we don’t know when she’ll come back, so I’ll just use the first aid kit on my own.”
“Let’s do that, Yuito kun, can you do the taping yourself? If it’s too difficult, I can do it for you.”
“……No, I can do it myself.”
I was a little hesitant about whether or not to ask Suzuno to do it, but I decided to do it myself. Because I felt sorry for Kano san. And I think it would definitely be faster to do it by myself than to ask Suzuno, who is clumsy to begin with.
“Now that I think about it, today is the cooking class for class 1. What are you making?”
“My group is making gratin, and I got burned while making white sauce.”
“I’ve always thought that Suzuno always makes some kind of mistake while cooking.”
“Well, I almost burnt my fingers, and it was really bad. If it were my sister, this would never happen.”
Suzuno said those words while applying the power pad to her index finger. While I have a complex towards my older brother, Suzuno sees Kano san as someone she admires.
That is the difference between us two brothers and the Yuuki sisters. This may have something to do with the fact that Suzuno and Kano san are two years apart while we are twins of the same age.
By the way, the reason I don’t call him Ayato is because I don’t want people to think we’re the same age. I don’t want to admit that we are so different despite being the same age, so I try to justify my inferiority by daring to call him my brother instead of Ayato.
“By the way, speaking of my sister, she’s been in a really good mood since she came back yesterday. Do you know any reason why?”
“No, I don’t know.”
There’s no doubt that it had something to do with what she confessed to me, but I pretended like I didn’t know. If Suzuno finds out about Kano san’s confession, it will almost certainly reach my brother’s ears, so that’s something I want to avoid at all costs.
“I see, it’s been a really long time since I’ve seen my sister that happy, so I’m very curious about it. I asked her about it, but she won’t tell me.”
“I’m sure there are one or two things Kano san can’t tell Suzuno about. Besides, is it okay if you don’t go back soon? It seems like you’re still in the middle of the cooking class.”
I asked, not wanting to continue this topic for too long as there was a possibility that I would accidentally blurt it out if I talked too much.
“That’s right, I have to go back soon.”
“Ah, don’t run.”
As expected, Suzuno tripped on the doorstep and almost fell down. I held her up from behind and saved her just before she fell.
“Thank you, Yuito kun. Then, see you later.”
Suzuno left the infirmary after saying so. I was left alone in the room, and my tension was low at once. I hugged Suzuno from behind with all my might, but she didn’t seem to be embarrassed at all.
I guess she doesn’t see me as a man after all…….
If my brother had done the same thing, her face would have turned bright red. I wonder if, like Kano san, if I muster up the courage and confess my feelings to Suzuno, she will start to think of me as a member of the opposite sex.
I just stood there and thought about that until the bell rang at the end of the class.
