“Let’s go inside then, Kei !”
“Yeah. Let’s go.”
We arrived at the movie theater and went inside.
“Then, which seat do you think is better, Mitsuki? Is it the seat in the back?”
“Erm……do you prefer the back or the front?”
“I think I prefer the back, but I don’t mind at all where you like.”
“My favorite place……then I’d like to be here.”
After saying that, Mitsuki checked the seat that was said to be a couple’s seat.
“This seat? It’s in the back so it’s good ! Well then, let’s take this seat.”
“Yeah. Let’s do it.”
So we took the couple’s seat in the back and moved on.
“Do you want anything? Popcorn and something to drink?”
“Right. Let’s buy some.”
“Then I’ll treat you to it, what do you want?”
“Eh? Are you sure?”
“Of course.”
“But…..I feel bad a little.”
“Mitsuki, you know I work part-time, right? That’s why it’s fine.”
“No…..then Kei knows I have a part-time job too, right? Besides, I wanted to treat you to something today.”
Well, I kind of had a feeling that was the case, but I guess Mitsuki doesn’t like to have me paid for her.
That probably won’t change even if we become lovers.
“Well, do that on our next date,. I’ve decided that I’m gonna treat you today, so will you let me do it?”
“Okay then. It would bad to compete with each other now. We came here together, so we have to enjoy ourselves.”
“Yeah. Let’s have fun.”
After all, I paid for the popcorn and drinks, and we went to the theater together.
◇
–We arrived at the theater shortly thereafter.
“Our seats are…..right here.”
“I see. Let’s sit down then, Kei.”
“I guess so.”
Mitsuki sat down first and then I sat down too.
“It’s still a long way off, but thank you for coming today, Kei.”
“No, not at all. I’m glad I came to see the movie with Mitsuki. Also, this movie has been a bit of a hot topic and I was interested.”
This is true, and if I enjoyed the movie, I was going to buy and read the novel it is based on.
Well, even if it was a movie in a genre I wasn’t interested in, I wouldn’t have had a choice but to decline Mitsuki’s invitation.
“I see. I’m so glad I got to come with Kei, too.”
A few moments later, the venue darkened and the movie previews, or rather advertisements, began to play.
“Hey Kei…….”
Mitsuki said in a small voice.
“What’s wrong?”
“Can I come closer?”
The distance between Mitsuki and I was not far, but rather very close, as it was a couple’s seat.
If I moved a little bit, our shoulders would be close to each other.
Mitsuki asked me that shyly, so I answered.
“Of course I’m fine.”
“Thank you.”
Then, Mtszuki and I put our shoulders together.
The movie started right after that.
–The movie was coming to an end and the most exciting kiss scene was about to take place.
Mitsuki held my hand during the kiss scene.
I held her hand back and looked at Mitsuki, who was looking at me very shyly.
I looked closer and saw that the person in the couples’ seat next to us was also kissing.
I looked back at Mitsuki and her grip on my hand became stronger.
When I looked into Mitsuki’s eyes, she looked embarrassed and then closed her eyes and I kissed her.
I kissed Mitsuki, and even in the dark, I could see that her face was red from the light of the movie.
The kiss was not long, about 5 seconds, just our lips against each other.
After kissing, we pulled our faces apart and Mitsuki, still red in the face, turned her head away from me and started watching the movie.
Mitsuki turned her face away from me, but leaned her head on my shoulder to watch the movie.
–After a while, when we finished watching the movie, Mitsuki and I left the theater and went for a walk.
“That was fun, Mitsuki.”
“Y-yeah…..it was.
Mitsuki said, still looking embarrassed about the kiss from earlier.
“I’m really grateful to you for inviting me today.”
“I’m the one who should be thanking you for coming……”
“Anytime Mitsuki invites me out, I’ll be there.Whether it’s for a movie or not.”
When I said that, Mitsuki was silent for a while, then slowly opened her mouth.
“Kei……”
“What’s up?”
“Can we talk on the bench there for a bit?”
“I guess. Let’s do that then.”
“Yeah……..”
I said that and headed for the bench that Mitsuki pointed to.
“Hey, Kei…..”
I sat down on the bench with Mitsuki and she started talking.
“What is it? Mitsuki.”
“At the movie theater…..w-we kissed……”
Mitsuki looked down in embarrassment as she said this.
“I….guess.”
“S-so……I think today is the perfect day to tell you.”
Mitsuki glanced at me and said that with an upturned look.
I was shocked to see Mitsuki like that.
“Of course it’s okay……
“Then I’ll tell you……Kei.”
“Yesh.”
I’ve never seen Mitsuki like this before.
Mitsuki seemed more nervous than I had ever seen her before.
“Kei…the first time I spoke to you was when I was shopping for fun, and at that time I thought you were a nice person…that’s how much I knew you.”
“Yeah…….”
I continued to listen to Mitsuki’s words as she said them.
“I started paying attention to Kei from the day he dropped me off when I wasn’t feeling well…from that day when I felt so relieved when Kei carried me on my back.”
“I see……”
“I was very happy when Kei praised me……although he may not have said it consciously,……and it was the first time I was very happy to hear words from someone other than my family. ….I realized that from that day on, all I could think about was Kei. And as I got to know Kei, I felt very comfortable with him and wanted to stay with him forever……”
Then, after a bit of silence, Mitsuki continued.
“I’m sorry,……I still had something to say, but I was so nervous that I skipped it,……so I’ll say it now.”
I nodded silently with a serious face as she said that.
“Kei……I love you. I wanna stay with Kei from here on out……please go out with me.”
Mitsuki looked me in the eye with a shy smile and came to me.
“I love you too, Mitsuki…..I’ll be in your care.”
When I said that, Mitsuki smiled and kissed me.
At the movie theater, it was like a bird kiss where we just pressed our lips together, but this time my tongue intertwined with Mitsuki’s.
I also tried to respond to Mitsuki’s kiss, and we continued to kiss deeply for a while.
–After a while, Mitsuki said to me.
“I finally got together with Kei, didn’t I?”
“Yes, you did.”
Mitsuki and I were talking on the bench, holding hands.
“But confessing makes you really nervous.”
“Well, you’re right. I’m sure you’ll be nervous even if I’m the one confessing my feelings to you.”
“I hadn’t decided whether I was gonna tell you today or not…..but I’m really glad I told you today……”
“I’m really happy too. Thank you so much, Mitsuki.”
“No, I’m the one to thank you…for accepting our proposal when Yui chan asked…”
The proposal would be to go out with three people.
But I’m pretty sure I should be the one to say thank you about that.
Now I don’t think about it at all, but even if I were told to narrow it down to one of the three, it would be impossible.
“I feel the same way about that…….I’m grateful to all three of you.
“I see. I’m glad you feel the same way, Kei !”
“Of course I do……”
“Anyway, even I was this nervous, so Akari chan must’ve been working hard.”
“Well, it’s true……Akari will definitely be nervous.
In fact, it’s hard to imagine Akari confessing to me……
“Well, we’ll support her, so I guess it’s okay…..so, Kei? What do we do after this?”
Mitsuki, who had been talking face to face with me a while ago, leaned on my shoulder and asked me this.
“What do you wanna do, Mitsuki?”
“I……would like to talk with Kei a little more slowly like this…..”
“Then let’s do that.”
Afterwards, Mitsuki and I enjoyed a leisurely conversation for a while.
