Comforting her at that place actually didn’t take longer than five minutes. Fuyu was once again overtaken by her embarrassment or just my subtle touch brought her back to reality that I’m Akane’s boyfriend.

Of course, I held back and didn’t insist on continuing to hold her. Instead, I accompanied her as we walked away from the area to where silence was more pronounced... or in other words, in a place away from the other courts, stadiums, and indoor venues.

We picked a covered bench to sit down on and I bought us a drink from the nearby vending machine.

When I returned to her side, we once again spent our time in silence, finishing that can.

I’m aware. I had the strong urge to continue comforting her but to respect her wishes, I couldn’t proceed with doing that.
