Naoto's POV
I was feeling quite happy for so reason as I was sitting while glancing at the fallen leaves in the backyard. Ti sure flies, as it felt like it was sumr a few days ago, but it was already autumn.
The wind was dry and a bit chilly, as I was imrsed in my own world of thoughts. I texted Saishi to visit , but I actually wanted him to watch my match with Vivian, but he didn't co, as the fight ended and I won.
He was probably busy, but what does he have to do at lunchti? He is probably buying chocy milk and forgot about . So chocy milk ans more to him than . But he can be really busy with so other stuff, as mid sems were approaching.
I heard faint footsteps approaching from behind as I turned around to look at the figure of Saishi walking towards with his eyes locked on . I was a bit startled to see him, since I wasn't expecting him to co at all.
He ca to an abrupt stop next to and said, "So it's autumn already, huh?"
.
His eyes wandered into the backyard and it appeared like he had the sa thought as about this. His eyes were wandering at the ground where a bunch of dried leaves were lying around.
"So… you wanted to talk?" He asked in a polite tone as I reverted my gazes back towards the tree and said in an indifferent tone, "Nothing…"
"Eh?" He probably knew that I was sad by my tone because he looked at nervously and as he was about to say sothing I interrupted him, "It's nothing…"
I did want him to watch my fight because I was in such a good mood, but he missed it so there is no use of sulking over it at that point. I just gave him a smile, but knowing how perceptive he is, I knew that he had an idea about everything.
He stared at for a while as I got up and walked into the backyard, but he followed too as he said in a questioning tone, "Did you want to see you fight, Vivian?"
I knew he would say that. I turned around and looked at him a bit embarrassed, and quickly denied it, "Definitely not."
His eyebrows furrowed as a sheepish smile ford on his face and he apologised, "Oh sorry about that, our biology teacher took a lot of ti to dismiss the class."
So it wasn't chocy milk after all. That's a relief.
He was quite considerate about small things like this, which was a good thing, but it also had its own downsides. I just shook my head from left to right and said casually, "It's okay… Did I say anything?"
He shook his head and walked towards without saying anything. His dark eyes narrowed at as he opened his mouth and his voice box moved, "That's the problem…"
How is that a problem?
"Huh?" I looked at with clear confusion on my face, as he put his hand on my shoulder than said in a calm tone, "See, I know you're a bit down and it's okay… I'm sorry for that…"
I understood what he was trying to say but at that mont, he had no reason to apologise since he was late because his teacher didn't dismiss the class in ti. There was nothing that could be done about that.
"You don't have to apologise, it's not your fault." I turned around completely to face him as his hand fell from my shoulder, and gave an awkward nod and changed the topic, "By the way, I heard you won."
"Like that's a surprise." I said, being a little arrogant about my skills, but he just shook his head and replied, "The surprise is that you're again practicing Kendo that you're thinking of leaving a few months ago."
What he said was completely true. Last month, I used to think of ways to escape from Kendo and I had no motivation to do anything. Now that I have much motivation now but I was trying to at least change stuff about myself.
At that mont, I was rather happy about beating Vivian and also about the fact that after quite so ti; I had a fight that made feel alive again. That's why I loved sparring with him. "Well, I'm really happy right now because I had a great fight after such a long ti."
"Well, that's great I suppose…" He said as I cut him off and with pure excitent in my voice I started, "Yes it is! Man, it felt so good to swing the sword after such a long ti… I enjoyed this too much!"
As I finished my rant, I noticed his clueless eyes looking at as I realised that I did sothing childish and smiled in embarrassnt, "Ehe!"
"So… looking at your face and your actions are so contrasting." After staring at for so ti, he finally said, and I exclaid, "Hey!"
"I an you do cute things…" Looking at my reaction, he imdiately tried to cover it up, but I wasn't actually offended. I just liked playing with him, as I asked, "So you an I'm not cute?"
"Definitely." Without a second thought, he nodded, as I narrowed my eyes and stared at him in silence, "I… what!?"
He also stared back at with a confused look on his face as a frown ford on his face. It appeared like he realised what he said as he imdiately shook his hand and said, "I an definitely cute!"
"Oh… then hug ." He was quite nervous, or I think he showed that he was nervous at that ti, but either way I was putting him in the spot as he shot back, "Where the fuck did that co from?"
"I don't know…" I shrugged with a smile as he said while narrowing his eyes, "You seem quite happy today?"
"Yes… now co… hug !" I nodded and said as he stepped back and looked at nervously. I didn't say anything, but I wasn't actually expecting him to hug as he walked towards and put his arms around my shoulders and pulled towards him.
That day, I received my first hug from him and my last one too
