"It's co~ld," I say, running my hands up and down my arms.
I can't help it, I think, but...
Why is it that when it's cold, that person's face comes to my mind?
Buchou...
What are you doing right now?
"Kyou-kun, is something wrong?"
"Ah! Mom... I'm home," I look up and answer her with a smile.
As usual, Mom is out on the veranda with Dad.
"When you get home, come inside quickly! You'll catch a cold."
"Ha~i"
"Delicious~" It's really good, Mom's home cooking!
I say thanks, and because I'm sensitive to the cold, when it's cold my skin becomes patsupatsu. [1]
The warm stew and French bread are for me.
"Good for you, huh, Kyousuke. I'm jealous."
"Well, I'm jealous of Nii-chan too, you're the one that Roku-chan loves, right?"
"Hey hey, what do you mean by that? When compared to Roku's love, Mom loves you more."
"Eh? That's not it, I'm just..."
Even though I don't have an answer, everyone laughs at me. It's always like that.
"So, how was work?" Dad asks.
"It was fun."
"Ah, really? That was what your mother said, too."
"Eh? Mom, you went out?"
"Yup, she went to see Rock'n Jam Musical."
"I see... Eh!!!?"
"Don't look so surprised," Mom says with a laugh.
"Your mother is a fan of Dai-chan, after all."
That's... Mom...
I couldn't say it, did she and Buchou meet?
I didn't go with her... What did Buchou think?
"You have work in the morning tomorrow too, right? Go to bed early."
"Nii-chan..." I wanted to consult him... But...
"Ah! If it's about Roku, he's sleeping with me. Good night."
"Nii-chan, you're so mean~"
Though I wanted to hug Roku and go to sleep...
But Nii-chan...
Ah...
Today's the day for... what?
I jump into bed.
If he was paying attention, I used those words.
What day is it today?
Buchou... On my coming-of-age day, I want to ask you that question.
But... It's useless.
Like this, saying Buchou, Buchou, Buchou.
Maybe I'll see Buchou's face in my dreams...
Get a hold of yourself!
I have work tomorrow, work, work.
Then, I'll set my alarm and go to bed!
... Where's my phone?
Knock knock knock!
"Kyousuke! Your cellphone!"
"Ha~i!!!"
"Why did you leave it in the kitchen?"
"Ehehe >< Thank you!"
"Well, snap out of it. If you're going to call, do it properly."
"... Huh? What?"
"No idea. Anyway, if you're going out, be careful."
What in the world does he mean by that?
Without giving me a straight answer, he closes the door.
Even though... The door's already closed...
My eyes won't close.
I have my cellphone with me on my bed.
I keep looking at the display.
Would it be okay if I call him?
Then say it was by accident... And if he's busy, I'll apologize.
Would Buchou forgive me?
But...
Maybe he's already asleep.
RJM is still continuing tomorrow.
If I call him, it'll be a waste of his time.
Then...
Should I just send him an email?
If he's asleep, he won't be replying.
Ah! But...
If it wakes him up... Won't he get mad?
"Mouuuuuuuuu!!!"
I yell out loud and curl up under my blanket.
What should I do!?
I shouldn't do anything.
I have work tomorrow and yet I'm sleeping late!
Right! I'll just email him.
"Buchou... No, Dai-chan, congratulations on your stage play.
"I've been busy with a lot of stuff, so I can't go, I'm sorry.
"Someday... Let's hang out together... Again."
That...
No way, not that sort of message, [Clear Message]
I wonder what words would be good...
"Buchou! I'm sorry for not going to watch, but I'm cheering you on ♥" That...
I sound like one of his fans!
Then, without thinking, I press the Send button.
"Oh no! This is bad~~~!!!" I say again and curl up more under my blanket.
Three minutes later...
Bibbiri... Bibbiri... Bibbiri...
"Hm?" No way... Buchou's reply? I think.
I look at the display.
"From Aniki
"Shut up~! I can't sleep!"
Nii-chan...!
"Give me back my Roku~~~~~~!!!" I purposely shout back.
A second later, my phone rings.
That's definitely Nii-chan!
"Rich kid! Even though you're nearby, why'd you have to use the cellphone!?"
"Huh? Nearby? Mao... Where are you?"
Oops... It's Buchou xOx
"Um... Er... Nothing."
"Seriously, where are you?"
He says this with the usual laugh in his voice.
Right now, I...
Can imagine Buchou's face.
"I'm... At home."
"Really? Ah, I see... About your previous email..."
"I'm sorry! I woke you up... I'm really sorry!" -- "Thanks."
"Huh?"
"Thanks for the encouragement... I said. Didn't hear it?"
"Eh... You see... Um..."
Why...
Suddenly my face grows hot.
Hot, and red.
"What?"
"Um... About today... Did you see my mom?"
"Hm?"
"She went to watch RJM... My mom."
"Ah. Yeah... I saw her."
Oh no... They really did meet xOx
What do I do...!
"What? Are you worried they're going to find out about us?"
"No, that's not it... My mother is a fan of you, so...
"It's okay if she knows, right? But, if Mom...
"Even if she didn't like Buchou, I wouldn't care."
True...
Since the day she approved my liking of Dai-chan... I've had nothing to worry about.
"Then... What now?"
"I'm sorry... I'm really sorry." This is bad... Now I really want to cry.
"I... Even though I haven't gone to watch, my Mom already did... I... Buchou's feelings..."
"Are you worried?"
I curl up even more in the sheets.
I don't answer.
"Hey."
"Hm?"
"Your mom doesn't know, does she?"
"Eh?"
"I actually didn't see your mom face to face."
"But, you said earlier that you met, didn't you?"
"She went to watch, but when I answered your question, I thought it'd be better for me to say that I met her."
He laughs as he says that. Buchou, mou!
"Are you pouting?"
"I. Am. Not."
"Uwa, that's your sulking voice, you're moe~"
"Dai-chan!!!"
"You finally called me 'Dai-chan'."
"I... Mou, Dai-chan..."
"Hahaha!" We laugh out loud until it tires us out.
Idiot... You really are an idiot...
Dai-chan's always like a silly old man, always teasing me.
Even calling me moe... Making me seem like an otaku...
But, silly Dai-chan, this idiot Dai-chan is always...
Always supporting me. No matter what happens, Dai-chan is always by my side.
And the foolish me, why do I love him?
Why... Am I in love with that kind of person?
When I think about it, I don't want to be separated from him.
"I love you."
"Haaaa. Say, Mao, it's cold out tonight, huh?"
"Yeah... Really cold. It's never been this cold before."
"Then... Hurry up and come down here."
"Eh?"
"I'm in front of your house right now."
"Eh!?"
I hurriedly look outside my window.
And, Dai-chan is really... Outside my house... Standing there.
"I'm... Dreaming, right?"
No way... I rub my eyes.
"Well, don't just stand there, get down here! It's cold~
"Why is tonight so cold... Because of that,
"I kind of want to just hold you close and fall asleep like that... I'm kidding."
I laugh embarrassedly...
But I want to hear it more. "Dai-chan..."
"Ah-- Mou, even though I was thinking about going back to my apartment...
"Why did I come over here to your house... I really am an idiot."
I run down the stairs.
I want to be in the arms of the person I love.
In Dai-chan's embrace...
"Dai-chan... Hold me tight."
