I’m in front of the classroom where the Shindo senpai is right now.
Let’s follow my heart as Yui san and Mitsuki san told me to……
“Phew.”
I took a deep breath and opened the classroom door.
I got extremely nervous the moment I saw Shindo senpai, even though I had calmed down earlier.
I wasn’t like this until yesterday, but maybe it’s because I decided to do my best. I suddenly become aware of such things.
I was so nervous that I didn’t say anything when I saw Shindo senpai looking at me.
“Akari? What’s wrong?”
“E-erm……Shindo senpai……can I have lunch with you?”
Seeing me like that, Shindo senpai asked me with a bit of concern, so I answered slowly.
“Of course ! Then come over here and let’s eat together.”
“Y-yes……”
I was happy to hear that, but more than that, I was nervous.
I wonder if I can really do my best……
“Thanks for stopping by, Akari.”
“N-no,……it’s just that I wanted to come….”
“I know, but still, that makes me very happy.”
“I see……I’m glad.”
I don’t know what to do. I’m so nervous because of what he said to me, and I can’t talk to him properly……
I have to calm down…but I can’t make a move like this.
When I was thinking about this, Shindo senpai asked.
“Akari? Is something wrong? You seem a bit strange today?”
“I-it’s nothing ! ! P-please wait a minute !”
I got impatient and couldn’t help myself, so I picked up my phone to ask Yui san and Mitsuki san to help me.
Haa, now I must be all red in the face……
[Yui san ! Mitsuki san ! Please help me !]
[What’s wrong, Akari chan?]
[What’s happening?]
[Nothing happened, but I couldn’t talk properly because I was so overly conscious……]
[Fufufu. What does Akari chan want to do? As I said earlier, I think it’s best to do what you usually do.]
[I agree. It’s only natural to be conscious. I know it’s embarrassing, but you’ll feel even happier afterwards. Even we were embarrassed at first.]
[Yeah. I also felt embarrassed too, so it’s not that Akari chan is strange.]
I don’t really get it, but does that mean I should try my best even if I’m embarrassed?
But if you do your best now, you’ll be happier later……that may be true…..and the two of them felt the same way about being embarrassed……
[You’re right.]
[Mm-hmm ! We’re rooting for you♪]
[Indeed ! And if you need anything else, we’ll definitely help you out, so just go for it !]
[O-okay, I’ll do my best.]
I felt a little more courageous when the two of them said that to me.
I had decided to do my best, even if it was embarrassing !
I thought that in my head, but in reality, I was quite nervous.
I won’t make Shindo senpai wait any longer, so I went back to stand next to him.
“I’m sorry…..I just wanted to confirm something.”
“Is that so? If Akari says so, then it’s fine.”
“Thank you very much…….”
“Yeah.”
I have to do my best……Mitsuki san was on the verge of kissing……but Yui san has kissed him……then what about me?
What I want to do……kiss? No ! I have a feeling I want to do it, but I’m confident that if I do it, I won’t even be able to face Shindo senpai for a while.
What should I do……try holding hands? Should we put our shoulders together? Feed each other?
I don’t know, but I have to do something……
I’m in such a tense situation that I have to do something !
My body was moving only with that feeling and the desire to be with Shindo senpai.
“S-Shindo senpai,…..please don’t say anything…….”
“Eh?”
I stood up and stood in front of Shindo senpai saying so.
“Akari?”
I felt like I heard Shindo Senpai’s voice, but it didn’t reach my ears right now.
And then, I stuck to Shindo senpai’s chest with the back of my head pressed against his chest.
What should I do…I couldn’t help but move, but I was so nervous that I couldn’t say anything.
Shindo senpai must be troubled if something like this suddenly happens to him.
But I’m really happy to be together with Shindo senpai… and it gives me a warm feeling.
I was even more flustered when Shindo Senpai spoke to me while I was in such a mixed state of mind.
“Akari?”
“I-I’m sorry,……I…..got impatient…….”
“Impatient?”
“Y…..yes……..do you not want me to be here……”
I asked fearfully.
I wonder if he doesn’t like it…I guess I’m the only one who’s happy.
I was so nervous that I ended up thinking in such a negative way.
At that time, Shindo senpai lightly hugged me and said
“That’s not it. You can stay as long as you want……”
“T-thank you…….”
All my worries were blown away when I heard those words.
This is what the two of them were talking about when they said that you can feel happy if you have the courage……
Right now I was feeling the happiest and most joyful I had ever felt in my life.
Well, I still felt embarrassed, and I felt my temperature rising higher.
–After that, neither of us said a word, but Shindo senpai continued to hug me warmly. The quiet time was so comfortable…that’s what it was like.
“Akari? It’s almost time to go back to the classroom.”
“Right…….”
I was disappointed that it was already time.
Even though I answered that, I was so embarrassed to show my blushing face to Shindo senpai that I decided to avoid looking at him and go back.
“Let’s go.”
“…..Yes.”
“We ended up leaving leftovers, are you okay with that, Akari?”
“I’ll eat it when I get home…….”
“I see.”
We had a conversation like that, but I didn’t meet Shindo senpai face-to-face until I parted ways with him on the stairs.
“That made me nervous…….”
I can still feel my heart beating so fast even after being separated from Shindo senpai.
I have to make Shindo senpai fall for me, but on the contrary, I like him even more…….
You can stay forever…I was really happy when I heard that.
“I really like him a lot……”
I wonder if there will be a man in my future life that I will like more than Sindo senpai…….I just can’t see that happening.
Just being with him makes me happy…..Shindo senpai is that kind of person.
“But I’m glad I tried so hard.”
I really think so now.
If I remember what happened earlier, I can naturally smile.
I don’t know if I’ve caught up with Yui san and Mitsuki san, but I’ll try not to think about that anymore.
I’ll do my best at my own pace…I was reminded of this when I spoke with Shindo senpai earlier…because from now on…….I think I’ll be able to work even harder.
