“Waa …… ah ……!”
I ran and ran and ran.
When I finally cooled down, I was in agony with my head in my hands.
idiot! My stupidity!
A big stupid dumb idiot moron!
No matter how much delicacy and bad judgment Arata has, running off on a date and getting lost is disgusting!
….. What am I going to do?
Smartphone and luggage are all left at the cat cafe, so there is no way to get in touch with him.
“I can’t …… even find my way around. ……”
I looked to my right and to my left, but I didn’t know where I was.
And worst of all..,
“ah, …….”
A cold thing fell on my head.
The sky, which had been holding heavy clouds since this morning, finally started to squeeze out rain.
I took shelter under the eaves of a building and crouched down to catch my breath.
This means I can’t just wander around and look for a cat café.
“I don’t remember this happening before. ……”
–when I was in junior high school.
I heard that father wanted me to go to a private junior high school.
But I wanted to be with Arata. So, I pushed, I asked for the impossible, I was reckless, and I went through with my request.
I also wanted to go to the same high school as Arata.
I told my father about it, but this time he didn’t agree with me. …… I ran away from home.
I wandered around aimlessly, lost my way, and finally it started to rain.
It was winter at the time, so I remember it was very cold.
I had no money. There was no way to contact anyone.
Soon the sun went down, it got dark, and I was hungry.
I was scared, scared, scared …….
–I thought, I’m going to die here.
Just when I thought so, the one who came to my rescue,
“Ku, Kurusu……! What are you doing?! I am worried about you!”
“……!”
It was the same as that time.
I looked up and saw Arata gasping for breath with a plastic umbrella in one hand.
“I thought you might have gone to the bathroom, but no matter how long I waited, you didn’t come back,……! If you’re going to leave the store, say something! You can bother me all you want, but don’t give me a heart attack!”
“…..I-I’m sorry!”
I stood up and quickly bowed.
Arata folded his umbrella and went into the eaves of the building and breathed heavily.
Did he hate me?
–I was so worried that I was going to be in trouble.
“It suddenly started raining, didn’t you get wet?”
“Yes, …….”
“It’s a little chilly, isn’t it? I’ll lend you my jacket.”
“Thanks. ……”
He took off his jacket and gently draped it over my shoulders.
…… D-damn!
Dammmmnnnnnn! I like himmmmmm!
This is a scene I should be reflecting on, but I like him too much and I’m too happy to do so.
How handsome is this guy?
You’re playing with my feelings!
That’s enough! I’m going to die of love for you!!!!
“Arata ….h-how did you know where I was ……?”
I also left my phone behind, so there should be no way to track me using GPS.
In response to my question, he pulls out his own phone, saying, “Here it is.”
“I did a search on social networking sites to see if there were any sightings. I searched for things like ‘prince cute’ or ‘prince skirt’ or something like that. Kurusu was dressed differently than usual, so I thought someone might have tweeted about it.”
“……”
“And sure enough, there was someone who noticed you. You should be thankful to your fans. Thanks to them, I found Kurusu.”
……Eh?
What did you just say?
Cute. ……
You said I was cute! That’s right!
If you searched me like that, it means you thought my outfit today was properly cute……!
“W-What are you grinning at me all of a sudden? I was seriously worried about you, okay?”
“I feel really bad about that, but …… heehehe……”
I know it’s a messed up, annoying, and I know it’s a case that I need to reflect on intensely.
But come on, I can’t do this!
Do you know how hard I’ve worked to get that one word, “cute……”? The reason I ran away in the first place was because I wanted you to say I was cute,……!
“Can I have my …… phone back?”
“Ou. And here, your bag.”
“Hnn, thanks. Tell me again what you searched for on social networking sites…….”
“You want me to look up the account and thank you in person? Let’s see, so, “prince cute,” “prince skirt,” or something like that.”
“Sorry, one more time.”
“Prince, cute.”
“Okay. Thanks.”
Uhehehe, I recorded it.
I’ll set it as my alarm when I get home.
“Well, we better get back.”
“Back? Eh, Back to the cat cafe?”
“There was a cat that liked me, wasn’t there? When I went to look for Kurusu, she stopped me like crazy and told me to go back. So I told her I’d be back. Cats are so cute.”
“……”
Arata opens his umbrella and says, “Let’s go.”
I grab his arm and pull him closer.
“….. cat café, no!”
“Eh. you like cats too, right?”
“I do, but ……”
I don’t want to see him complimenting anyone but me on how cute they are today.
—I didn’t say anything, but just kept silent and tightened my grip on hes arm.
“Then, how about we go to my house? I’ll make something Kurusu likes for dinner.”
“Good. It’s been a while since I met Arata’s father.”
“Ah, I’m sorry. My dad has been sleeping over at my new mom’s house lately. He wants to live with her until he registers, so they can get used to each other’s lives.”
“…… means…”
Just the two of us!?
………… phew.
Well, I don’t expect anything.
It’s Arata.
He’s going to serve me food, laze around properly, and that’s it. Even if I were to stay over, nothing more than that would ever happen.
Heaven and earth would be turned upside down and nothing would happen.
“Well, I’m going to stop by the supermarket and go home. What do you want to eat?—-“
He was about to say so.
Arata froze in place, staring at the ground.
I looked down at him.
There was something square there.
……Eh, hey, that’s …….
It’s a condom ……, right? Why is it there ……?
“—-!!!”
Arata retrieved the condom and put it in his pocket at a frightening speed, like a cheetah hunting its prey.
…… hmm? Haeeee!?!
Is that Arata’s!?
M-Maybe it fell out of his pocket when he took off his jacket!!?
“O-okay, let’s go!”
He starts walking away from me, pulling my hand while acting suspiciously.
…… wait.
Wait, wait, wait! Wait a little bit! Time time time!
Am I…… going to do it today……?
Arata, you’ve been planning to do that from the very beginning……!???!
◆
[Orimura, take this! Just in case!]
[Y-you, I seriously don’t want it! I’ll be in big trouble if she find it!]
Yesterday I ended up spending all of my time just shopping, and this morning I went to a hair salon owned by the parents of a boy in my class.
There, I was handed this condom.
I politely declined, but …… that idiot sneaked it into my jacket.
…Well, I guess it’s okay because I was able to retrieve it before Kurusu saw it.
Phew, I’m panicked.
