[Come here !]
[Your hand……]
[I don’t want you to get separated again. You’ll just have to put up with that !]
[Aoharu Highway] a romantic movie that won the silver prize at the Bookstore Award last year.
Now that [Hekireki no Ao] is being made into a movie, I’m not watching it because I’m thinking of watching a movie about a similar situation.
It just so happened that Yanagi had a free ticket to the movie through her contacts as a writer, so we decided to watch the movie as it was a perfect date and a good opportunity to see the movie…….
By some coincidence, a scene from the movie overlaps with the prank from earlier.
Just now, Kahamiya was seen in his private life and Yanagi acknowledged and accepted him.
Kagamiya was so happy that he took Yanagi’s hand and continued to hold Yanagi’s hand as they walked through the city.
“(Kagamiya kun’s hands are surprisingly rugged…and warm)”
Seeing the depressed face of the actress, who blushed her cheeks and gazed at the hand that was clasped so dearly
“(Huh? Maybe I did something again?)”
Or perhaps I did something quite embarrassing?
He seemed too upset. At least it would be better if he was in a proper appearance, but to forcefully take her hand in his current uncool appearance…
“(Not good, not good ! ! ! Gaahh ! If this was the case, I should have come dressed !)”
Even though I thought so, I had no regrets.
What should I do? I looked at Yanagi anxiously, wondering if she saw this and thought I was an embarrassing guy who was uncool.
“Hawawawa.”
She was blushing up to her ears as she let out a strange voice.
Earlier, Kagami sama suddenly snatched me by the hand.
I felt happy, embarrassed, and somewhat fearful. But the happy feeling that I surely felt flashed back to me.
When Kagami was pulling her hand, her mind was blank and fluffy, so she didn’t really feel it.
She had no idea that she had been in a situation like a scene in this movie.
Happy. She was certainly happy, but Yanagi was filled with emotions that couldn’t be expressed in words.
“(I want to touch your hand just one more time…….)”
Yanagi, her eyes moistened, gazes at Kagamiya.
“(W-what kind of face is that……?)”
It’s not like she thought of him as an embarrassing guy.
If anything, it seems like Yanagi herself is embarrassed.
Yanagi gently reached out to touch Kagami’s hand. Kagamiya lowered his hand from the armrest of the seat next to Yanagi and put his weight on the armrest on the opposite side.
..Just now, I surprised you by suddenly withdrawing my hand. If I accidentally touched it, I’d probably startle Yanagi again.
Besides, if they touched each other again, Kagamiya would remember what happened earlier, and it looked like he was going to be in trouble.
“(Ah…..)”
She was unaware of Kagamiya’s inner thoughts. Kagamiya does not know Yanagi’s inner feelings.
The sight of their hands passing each other made Yanagi startle, and Kagamiya felt a little awkward.
The movie is probably as interesting as other people says.
At the very least, it is a movie that will move the hearts of the sensitive Yanagi and Kagamiya, who are aware of each other’s ulterior motives, even though they are not romantically involved.
However, the two were so focused on each other that they could not remember even 10% of the movie’s content.
◇
Yanagi [I want to have a date with Kagami sama !]
Kagamiya [I want to get to know Yanagi so that we can exchange selfies !]
Despite being one of the most attractive men and women in the entertainment world, Yanagi’s introverted temperament and recent tendency to stay at home, and Kagamiya’s dowdy everyday clothes, made a date with the opposite sex a new experience for both of them ! What a first experience.
In the morning, though, he managed thanks to Yanagi’s movie tickets.
“(I don’t know what to do now !)”
After the movie, the two of them were not so hungry because of the popcorn they had bought, so they bought a fileted pork cutlet sandwich, which was reputed to be delicious, at a nearby store and ate it, while inwardly feeling quite impatient.
Chewing on their filet mignon sandwiches, which had a delicious mustard accent, Yanagi and Kagamiya had no conversation.
If they had at least had a conversation, it would have given them a clue as to what to do from here on out.
The quickest topic of conversation would be their impressions of the movie, a topic they would prefer to avoid since they are both so preoccupied with each other that they have hardly seen the movie at all.
However, if they try to strike up a conversation ((if both of them think the other person has watched the movie properly), the topic of the movie is bound to come up (Maybe).
And, of course, neither of them is confident that they can have a proper conversation about the content of a movie they haven’t seen properly.
If they are careless, they will find out that they were preoccupied with each other and have not seen the movies properly.
That would be embarrassing !
However, I don’t want the date to end like this.
Both Yanagi and Kagamiya are thinking the same thing, yet, they cross paths.
They couldn’t find any more clues for conversation. They don’t know what to do from this point on.
It would be better if one of them confessed that, but Yanagi doesn’t want Kagami sama to see her useless self. Kagamiya also wants to meet Yanagi’s expectations.
Kagamiya was so eager to live up to Yanagi’s expectations that he was holding back the words [I don’t know what to do] right there in the corner of his throat.
In no time at all, they had finished their filet mignon sandwiches.
The two of them left the bench near the restaurant.
It wasn’t awkward at all. But it was a frustrating silence.
“……Do you want to walk around here for now?”
“Let’s do that.”
After a brief exchange, Yanagi and Kagamiya wander around the streets around the movie theater.
There was nothing to buy, nothing to see.
They were two arms away from each other, and the sun was just getting darker, with no particular conversation to be found.
In the end, Kagamiya and Yanagi could hardly talk to each other after they left the movie theater, and time just passed them by.
Both of them were filled with regret.
Is this the right thing to do on a date? Should it end like this?
They were aware that they were avoiding each other. They also had a sense that they were being avoided.
Both of them. Each of them doesn’t know what the other person is thinking and feeling right now.
Even so, they didn’t want it to end like this. They certainly felt a sense of impatience, a sense of regret, and a clingy feeling that seemed to linger forever.
But even if it was wrong. They remembered the time they held hands at the movie, and couldn’t say that they were so nervous that they weren’t watching the movie.
“(We’ll never be able to exchange selfies now, will we?)”
But. Kagamiya exhaled and gathered all the courage he could muster.
“Hey. It’s getting late, should we end it here?”
Shssshh. The regret of not being able to do anything about it gnaws at Yanagi’s chest. Yanagi just stood there shaking her head.
Kagamiya put his hand on Yanagi’s shoulder and activated the camera on his smartphone.
“But well, before that.”
Click.
A picture of Yanagi, with just a few tears of regret, looking up at Kagamiya’s smartphone in surprise.
And a picture of Yanagi’s face turning bright red with happiness and embarrassment.
These two photos were taken by two shutter clicks in less than five seconds.
“I had a lot of fun today, and I wanted to commemorate it. I’ll send you a copy of the photo.”
Ping. Yanagi looked at the photos sent to her—
“Wha-wha-wha !? What is this ! ! ……Out of the blue, and I don’t look at all cute in the picture ! I demand a retake ! !”
“Really? I think I took the cutest picture of you ever.”
“Wha !? Really……seriously……. Kagami sama is unfair ! !”
“I know.
I’m unfair, so I’ll just go home. I’ll see you later ! I hope you’ll ask me out again !”
Kagamiya turns his back and runs away before Yanagi sees his blushing face.
He’s too embarrassed to exchange selfies with her.
But there is no need to exchange selfies in the first place.
If Yanagi and Kagamiya are both in the same place, it would be easier to take a picture together without the need to exchange.
He was embarrassed, though. He probably will faint in agony tonight.
Still, he was able to get a good picture of Yanagi with a good expression on her face. It’s a really good picture.
Kagamiya went home with such a sense of satisfaction.
