A glimpse of her white belly peeks through, revealing her pale skin. The strap of her underwear slips slightly off her shoulder, exposing her slender collarbone.
“Wait!”
I quickly grab Asahina’s hands. I’m quite hesitant to touch her in this state, but if I don’t do something, she’ll end up taking everything off today!
“Why… I was already taking it off…”
“Asahina! I’m a guy!”
“I know.”
“Then be more careful!”
My voice involuntarily cracked. The soft-looking skin peeking through the gap in her jacket was irresistibly drawing my gaze.
“The underwear—I went out of my way to choose your favorite color…”
“When did I ever tell Asahina my favorite color!?”
“You complimented my blue dress the other day.”
When she says that, it makes me curious! I can’t stop thinking about the color!
“Please, just wipe my back~”
“No way, no way, no way! This is way harder than anything else!”
“They say hair is a woman’s life.”
“Hm?”
“I’m entrusting my life to Kuga-kun every day, aren’t I?”
“It’s heavy, scary, and the pressure is overwhelming.”
Asahina, still half-undressed, puffs out her cheeks. Ugh, I can’t just leave her like that, and I can’t just leave Asahina, who seems a bit dazed, alone either. Do I have to make up my mind about this…?
“Alright, I get it! I’ll wipe your back, but you have to change clothes yourself! Just today, though!”
“Yay! Please do it, then.”
Asahina flips her hair back and shows me her back. It’s a flawless, beautiful back. Plus, her slender shoulder blades, the curve of her neck, and the thin light blue straps…
I started sweating weirdly. I’m definitely the one with a fever right now. I gently placed the towel on Asahina’s back.
“Hyaa!”
“Hey, don’t make weird noises!”
“But it felt so good and cool!”
Asahina chuckled, and my heart rate shot up.
I had a strong image of her from her child acting days, but Asahina is surprisingly the type who looks slimmer in clothes… Knowing her childhood makes it feel unusually taboo…
“Ah, Ryo-kun is looking at my chest.”
“I’m not looking! I can only see your back! Besides, you can’t tell where I’m looking from there!”
“You’re busted.”
Asahina, who had been weak until just now, suddenly perked up. Why does she get so energetic when she teases me?
“Ryo-kun, your hands… they’re so gentle.”
“Oh, really?”
I couldn’t think of anything to say, so I let out a awkward laugh. Even though I was just touching her through the towel, I couldn’t help but notice the warmth of her body through my palm.
…If I think about this any further, I’ll lose!
I focused all my attention on the “task” of wiping her back. Yes, this is just an act of assistance. There’s no shameful feeling at all. It’s just nursing care. I’m pure and innocent… I should be!
“Hmm…”
Asahina let out a small breath from the back of her throat.
“What is it now…”
“Because, Ryo-kun, you’re being too careful when you wipe me. It tickles.”
It’s me who’s feeling all kinds of ticklish. I pretend to be calm as I carefully wipe Asahina’s white back.
“Ryo-kun, you’re really kind, aren’t you?”
“I’m just… doing this because Asahina has a cold, so I have no choice.”
“Haha, I like that about you too.”
Lately, she’s been using the word “like” a lot. Don’t use that word so lightly… I can’t tell if Asahina means “like as in favorite food” or “like as in want to be with you.”
“…Okay, done. You can change clothes on your own.”
“Okay. Thanks.”
When Asahina turned around, her cheeks seemed a little redder than before.
“…Ryo-kun, your face is red.”
“I, I think I caught Asahina’s cold!”
“Then I’ll take care of you this time. I’ll help you change clothes.”
“No way! Absolutely not!”
My heart feels like it’s about to burst. It feels like I saw something I shouldn’t have seen.
“I’ll go get your clothes!”
“Then bring Ryo-kun’s sweatshirt from the other day?”
“Sure, but why?”
“Because it looks easy to wear.”
“Huh?”
“Hmm.”
Oh, she’s trying to wear my sweatshirt. I don’t think girls usually want to wear clothes from boys in the same grade. Doesn’t she feel any resistance?
“Yoishotto.”
“Stupid, stupid, stupid! Don’t take it off now!”
“Why?”
“Because I’m here!”
As I raised my voice, Asahina tilted her head slightly and gave me a puzzled look.
“I thought it would be okay with Ryo-kun.”
“It’s not okay! That’s way too careless! At least wait until I leave the room!”
“Ryo-kun blushing is cute.”
Asahina casually dropped a bomb of a line. My heart can’t take this anymore. If I stay here any longer, something might really break.
“I’m really leaving! Call me when you’re done changing!”
I left the room as if fleeing. From behind, I heard a lackluster reply, “Okay, I understand~.”
That night.
“That’s good. Your fever seems to have gone down.”
“…”
Asahina had her face buried under the blankets.
“…I think I was having a dream.”
“What kind of dream?”
“A dream where Ryo-kun was wiping my back.”
“What a coincidence, I had the same dream.”
“My head has been all fuzzy, and I can’t think straight…”
“…”
“…”
“…”
“Aaaaaaaaaaaah!”
Suddenly, Asahina let out a strange cry.
“W-what have I done…”
“That’s good! You’re back to your old self!”
“Ugh… Why didn’t you stop me…?”
“I tried my best to stop you! I even held your hands!”
“Ryo kun wipe my back…”
“You’re the one who asked me to! I just wiped your back! I didn’t do anything else! I took care of you properly!”
“Ugh… I’m so embarrassed, I can’t look at Ryo kun’s face anymore… I’ll just stay under the covers for the rest of my life…”
“I’ll pull the covers off you.”
“Noooooooooo!”
Asahina is wriggling around in the bed.
“Come on, you’re not fully recovered yet, so don’t move.”
“Plus, I ended up wearing Ryo-kun’s clothes without even realizing it…”
“That was your idea, Asahina.”
“Ugh, this is boyfriend shirt…”
“What’s that?”
“I’m not telling!”
